ʳᵉᵍᵃʳᵈˡᵉˢˢ ᵒᶠ the two of them sitting and holding each other’s hand – fingers intertwined , palms pressed TOGETHER , warmth grown between them , thumb brushing over the back of her hand softly ... – regardless of all of that , her words came as a surprise to him . too deep sat the memory or ʳᵉʲᵉᶜᵗᶤᵒᶰ . the plumpness with which she’d told him no . the words she had found to reason with him . he’d NEVER believed a single one , becky in his eyes always the one . ᵇᶤᵗᵗᵉʳ ᵖᶤˡˡ to swallow to realize that things had been different for her . that years and decades he had seen something , felt something , that just wasn’t there . time wasted . or not . not because she was still so IMPORTANT to him . rejection hadn’t changed that , ᶰᵉᵛᵉʳ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈ . she held that special place in his heart , was at home right there . the whole thing might as well belong to her . surprise igniting it , giving it a KICK START , causing it to jump however , consciousness has build up walls . high and ready to protect the ᶠʳᵃᵍᶤˡᵉ ᵖᵃʳᵗ of his soul .
captain quiet for a moment . looking at their hands . his so much larger than hers . rough . a ᶠᵉʷ ˢᶜᵃʳˢ visible . completely in contrast to hers . SOFT SKIN . gentle . the hand of a lover where his always just seemed clumsy next to her . he wants to look her in the eye but when steve makes an attempt , he gets nervous . so gaze REMAINS focussed on where they are ᵗᵒᵘᶜʰᶤᶰᵍ . “ what made you ᶜʰᵃᶰᵍᵉ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵐᶤᶰᵈ ? “ and that , truly , all that he wants to know now . the only question left to answer because regardless of high guards , regardless of the set back , of the small moment of HEARTBREAK – fck all of that . if becky was willing to give him a chance , captain wouldn’t mess it up . if their love finally got an opportunity to grow , ʰᵉ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈ grab it .

gloved fingers ADJUSTING the velcro on the other wrist to tighten fabric around it . eyebrow dances up slightly when he glances over to the younger man . “ ᵈᵒ ᵃᶰʸᵗʰᶤᶰᵍ ? “ short pause , thoughts working however ... “ what did you think we were going to be doing ? “ steve ʷᵃˢᶰ’ᵗ ˢᵘʳᵉ what pietro was HINTING at though , hands sink back to the side and instead , palm meets his shoulder to give it an encouraging squeeze . questioning eyes find those of him , ᶰᵒᵗ ʷᶤˡˡᶤᶰᵍ to ACCEPT a half-hearted answer .

“ ʸᵒᵘ ˢᵘʳᵉ ? i can train without , it’s fine . “ though steve had to admit that he felt a wave of excitement when archie offered him one of his ear pods . the gym radio would SOMEHOW have brought him through the workout for sure and he’d have turned down the offer from anyone else . ʷᶤᵗʰ ʰᶤᵐ though ... he felt that feeling again . the one he liked to pretend wasn’t there . THE ONE he didn’t want to give more room until he wasn’t sure whether archie felt the same . he could ᶠᵉᵉˡ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵃᵐᵉ , right ? steve wanted to think he stood a chance . wanted to believe that each time fingers lingered on muscle of the other when correcting posture , that it meant SOMETHING . he hoped it did ... ᶠᵒʳ ᶰᵒʷ ᵗʰᵒᵘᵍʰ , honest smile on his lips when he takes the ear bud and presses it into the shell of his ear . sharing music like this feels so ᶤᶰᵗᶤᵐᵃᵗᵉ , like their own little secret . steve ready to dive into archie’s world and yet ... tried to play it off as cool as POSSIBLE . didn’t want to appear too eager , too enthusiastic and then run danger of ᵗᵘʳᶰᶤᶰᵍ ʰᶤᵐ ᵒᶠᶠ . “ thanks ... what are we listening to ? “

both hands pushed into the pockets of jeans . casually dressed with the hopes of not getting ʳᵉᶜᵒᵍᶰᶤᶻᵉᵈ , base cap sitting on his head , pulled down low to throw shade on his eyes . not to be seen . not seeing ANYONE . not until he was here . here , where he didn’t belong , where he shouldn’t have come . wells had every right to ask , to be surprised . if it was ᵗʰᵉ ᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ʷᵃʸ around he would have reacted the same way . captain clears his throat , head tilted up . desperate attempt to see HIM even though he knows that part of his life is over . in the past . jasper and he: ʰᶤˢᵗᵒʳʸ . “ i’m ... not entirely sure . “ short awkward twitch of the corner of his mouth . this place isn’t going to give him what he had hoped for . “ i thought ... coming here would give me the FINAL CLOSURE . “ self-destructive in a way – that he had hoped to see something that’d anger him enough to finally say fck it and ᵇᵉ ᶠʳᵉᵉ ᵃᵍᵃᶤᶰ . now , instead , ex’ best friend faced . “ my bad , sorry . i didn’t come to stir the pot . “ crap , so easily making a fool of himself . so obvious to the fact that after all these years , he still knows nothing about relationships . or ending them .

he is laughing even though tony noticed before he could really reveal the truth . steve tries to keep his own AMUSEMENT at a limit to make sure the other’s don’t catch wind of it . he doesn’t really want to explain that he’d decided to go ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵃᶰᵈᵒ to make sure they’d go home early . tony’s old COLLEGE FRIENDS were fun to hang out with . unless you were married and had three kids and a whole house to take care of . where tony had grown up it ˢᵉᵉᵐᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵃᵗ some of his buddies weren’t quite THERE YET . or at least not when they reunited once a year . and truly , there were only so many topics steve could talk about with the wives , only ˢᵒ ᵐᵃᶰʸ ʲᵒᵏᵉˢ he could crack , just so much cleaning talk before he got bored of it . their life seemingly not complicated enough to have the issues these people seemed to have . or maybe just not COMPLICATED when it came to their relationship and their family . good . he ᵖʳᵉᶠᵉʳʳᵉᵈ ᶤᵗ that way . but it also lead to these evenings feeling endless . so , tricks had to be played to ensure a REASONABLE bed time .
" good , because it would have gotten reeeeal AWKWARD if you made me pull down my pants to , ᵇᵉˡᶤᵉᵛᵉ ᵐᵉ . “ grinning wide , palm finds the back of boyfriends head to PULL HIM IN , kiss placed against his lips . he lingers . mouths still touching when they talk . “ so is it going to work ? can we ᵍᵒ ʰᵒᵐᵉ ? “ grinning , another kiss exchanged with the HOPES of the lack of underwear being reason enough to call the night short .

there wasn’t one ex that would have been tougher to face . not one of his exes he wanted to see less . not a SINGLE ONE who he was as bitter over as he was with tony . maybe because he’d been his first love after all . maybe because he’d so ˢʰᵃᵐᵉˡᵉˢˢˡʸ used steve’s naive heart until there was nothing to use up anymore . until it was broken into pieces and brunette MOVED ON without him . a grief that had changed his life so drastically , steve ended up changing ᵃˡᵐᵒˢᵗ ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵗʰᶤᶰᵍ about himself . now , nothing left of that skinny shy dude . now he’s grown up . and yet , facing him didn’t feel any less distressing . there isn’t really ANYTHING steve wants to tell him . nothing that needs to be discussed now , not all those years later . but of course the ᵗᵉʳʳᵒʳ ᵗᵃᵇˡᵉᵗ had sent them on a date . of fcking course it had to CHOOSEN making his life more miserable when it could . “ you couldn’t have picked a different show to get on and fill your bank account more , hm ? had to come here to taunt me . i shouldn’t be as surprised really . “ shaking his head a little , steve slurps on the COCKTAIL they’d been served . not even the burning taste of the drink helped him to ᶜᵃˡᵐ ᵈᵒʷᶰ when he was furious inside . / @iinventor

steve hadn’t even bothered waking up tony after trying to step out and being greeted with a wall of snow . that had been A HELL OF A STORM last night and luckily tony’s dad and he had already discussed how they’d handle the farm for the time of the storm . automatic feeding in the barns they couldn’t easily get to and the rest dad would make sure to check on . good thing ᵗʰᵉʸ ʰᵃᵈ ᵉˣᵖᵉᶜᵗᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ʷᵉᵃᵗʰᵉʳ to get worse for a while . with tony still in bed and deeply asleep , and the home couldn’t be left either ... there wasn’t much to do . even if he was awake now . so , STEVE DID THE ONLY REASONABLE THING . after making a little fire in the fireplace to heat up their home , cowboy changed out of his work clothes so he could slip back into bed with his husband . both arms wrap around him to ᵖᵘˡˡ ʰᶤᵐ ᶤᶰᵗᵒ ʰᶤˢ ˢᵗʳᵒᶰᵍ ᶜʰᵉˢᵗ , kiss dropped to his forehead and he pulls the blanket up a little higher . “ are you cold ? “ he speaks in a quiet tone when he feels tony stirring from his sleep .

it didn’t even matter which traditions they would follow this christmas . he didn’t want to choose which movies they watched , what they ate , didn’t even want to have a say in the DECORATION OF THE TREE . tony and morgan could gladly decide all that because steve’s biggest dream for the end of this year was becoming true . he’d see her . ˢʰᵉ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈ ˢᶤᵗ ᵃᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗᵃᵇˡᵉ ʷᶤᵗʰ ᵗʰᵉᵐ , would unwrap her presents with them there , would play with morgan , would sit on his lap when they sang a christmas carol together . they’d be reunited . and it was all steve could ask for . “ sure . we have a few at home from past christmases . emma might have grown out of hers so we could head to the store and pick up a new one for her . “ this was good . it gave him purpose . it gave him SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARDS TO . a perspective . if they were finally willing to let him see his daughter , maybe the decision to let her come home wasn’t far off . ᵈᶤʳᵗʸ ᵇˡᵒᶰᵈ ᵗᵘʳᶰˢ ʰᶤˢ ʰᵉᵃᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵗᵒᶰʸ . “ you wanna head down now ? you needed some more things for the tree anyway , right ? “

it’s hard to look away when the uniform fits her perfectly . when the hat sits on her head which she holds up proudly , badges worn with so much dignity , the smile on her face SO PURE AND SO HONEST . he loves it . even if they have not truly addressed the feelings for each other yet , steve loves seeing her like this . ᵐᵃʸᵇᵉ ʰᵉ ˡᵒᵛᵉˢ ʰᵉʳ ˡᶤᵏᵉ ᵗʰᶤˢ . maybe steve rogers is in love . maybe . so many maybes . all of them irrelevant today . her big day . he was going to take none of the attention that belonged to just her . “ you look like you are exactly where you should be and it amazes me . you know what they say . it’s not the title that makes the man a champion . ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵃᶰ ᵐᵃᵏᵉˢ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗᶤᵗˡᵉ . or woman . and i know you will . i know already of all the prestige YOU WILL BRING TO YOUR TITLE , captain santiago . “ dirty blond stands back , watches her with bright eyes , clearly deeply caught in his adoration for her . not nearly as slick as he had thought he would be .

he shakes his head , not willingly to accept that answer . “ ʸᵒᵘ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵈᵒ ᵇᵉᵗᵗᵉʳ ᵗʰᵃᶰ ᵗʰᵃᵗ , tony . what do you really want for christmas ? “ since it had been a while SINCE THE TWO OF THEM had truly just felt like a normal couple , they both fully intended on making the most out of where they found themselves now . steve becoming himself again more and more , day by day he regained confidence and found ᶰᵉʷ ʷᵃʸˢ ᵗᵒ ᵗʳᶤᶜᵏ ʰᶤˢ ᵒʷᶰ ᵇʳᵃᶤᶰ into recovering . tony , like always , the strong partner by his side . it was time to give him something back . not just a christmas present . but steve wanted him to know that he could rely on him again . that he was stable . that they’d be LIKE THEY USED TO and stronger . “ sleep on it . give me a real answer tomorrow . what do you wish for ? really ? and don’t think about the money in it . “ ʰᵉ’ᵈ ᵐᵃᵏᵉ ᶤᵗ ʷᵒʳᵏ . after all , it was christmas !

a hand runs through his hair and deep breath is taken . steve leans forward , elbows resting against his own thighs . blue eyes directed down , gaze thrown on the floor . SHE IS RIGHT . she is right but it’s hard to admit . he’s not a cheater . never has been and it never crossed his mind before scar and he had gotten involved . before she had pointed out ʲᵘˢᵗ ʰᵒʷ ʰᵒʳʳᶤᵇˡᵉ ᵒˡᶤᵛᶤᵃ ᵗʳᵉᵃᵗᵉᵈ ʰᶤᵐ . how there was no need for him to put up with all of that . before scarlett had shown him what affection could feel like . IT WAS ADDICTIVE . so addictive that last night he’d surrendered . had given in to the urge to taste her lips and to feel her hands on his body . ᵃᶰᵈ ᵃˢ ᵐᵘᶜʰ ᵒᶠ ᵃ ˢᶤᶰ ᵃˢ ᶤᵗ ʷᵃˢ , it had felt heavenly . and that part that had made him give in was now the part that was able to see her words were right . there was no need to regret what had happened . not when HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH OLIVIA WAS OVER . he just needed to say it out loud . needed to find the courage to drive home and tell it to her .
“ i know . “ dirty blond sighs finally . “ i don’t regret it either . i just wish i had better circumstances to offer . not ... this . “ ʰᵉᵃᵈ ᵗᵘʳᶰˢ ᵗᵒ ᶠᶤᶰᵃˡˡʸ ˡᵒᵒᵏ ᵃᵗ ʰᵉʳ . heavy weight on his shoulders , half a smile on his lips .
