Warning: Masturbatons, oral sex, horny sexy sex.

A/N: Yes! Y’all know how I love self-pleasure!! Woot Woot!

“Lunch?”

“Check!”

“Phone?”

“Check!”

“Gym clothes?”

“Double check!”

“Awesome, cool,” Sukuna shoved his younger brother towards the door. “Go on, get the fuck out.”

Choso and Yuuji glanced at each other before looking at their older brother. He was in a poor piss mood. He had been all week. The two brothers shared a glance before Sukuna narrowed his eyes at them. It was probably because you were on a week-long girls’ trip. And while he would never admit it, his brothers knew how much you meant to him.

“What?” He asked, running a hand over his face.

“Nothing! Have a great day!”

As soon as they were no longer visible, Sukuna slammed the door shut. He'd been so annoyed every little thing ticked him off. Work, his brothers, everything! He'd been blowing his top, more on edge than usual.

If you had been here, you would have been able to ease his stress. You could talk him down from any edge. From the way your hands massaging his shoulders, working the tension out. By the way, you took over whenever the boys would give him a hard time. He hated to admit it, but you made him a better person. And what was even worse was that he liked it. Damn, fuck, he like the person he was becoming because of you.

You, all of you. Sukuna groaned, shutting his eyes tight as you invaded his mind. You soft Y/H/C, how your eyes lit up, how your smile could melt him. Everything about you was perfect in his eyes. Your voice, the way you smelled, the sound of your voice.

“Sukuna!” The joy in your voice when you came over.

The firm but gentle “Sukuna.” You whisper in his ear when he starts to lose his temper with his brothers.

“S-Sukuna~!” The way you would moan his name when he was balls deep inside your perfect pussy.

With a frustrated sigh, he peered down at the tent in his sweats. How was it you could be hundreds of miles away and still make his cock hard? Damnit, he had it bad for you, and he had a raging boner.

“Fuck it. I have nothing better to do.”

Padded across the floor, Sukuna plopped down in bed, his hand slowly reaching into his sweats. Sukuna grabbed his cock, causing a sharp hiss to pass through his clenched teeth. The velvety skin was hot, throbbing under both his touch and the thoughts of you. It always amazed him just how fucking hard he got whenever you were involved. Either participating in the fun or when you were just at the forefront of his mind.

Which was constant anymore, yet you were nowhere to be found to help with the predicament he currently found himself in. You were probably sippin’ on mimosas or some girl shit. When Sukuna would much rather have you sucking on his cock.

”Fuck.” Spitting into his hand, Sukuna wrapped his fingers around his cock. Imagining it as your hand, which barely fits around his girth length. “Suck it.” He rolled his head back, resting it against the pillows as he imagined images of you. Crawling up the bed on your hands and knees. “That’s right, mhmm fuck you look so fucking sexy.” You were naked, tits bare, lacey underwear hugging your hips as you kissed up his thighs.

He squeezed his shaft before slowly dragging his hand up and down. His spit lubricated the soft skin of his cock, but it wasn’t nearly enough, not enough to even begin to mimic your mouth. You were always so messy, gagging up and down, taking him as deep as you could until pretty tears stained your cheeks. Even if he told you not to push yourself, that you neednt worry about him, you gave it one hundred and fuckin’ fifty percent. So, one could only imagine his disappointment that his hand felt nothing like your tight, wet mouth.

The way your pretty lips kiss swollen wrapped around the tip, your tongue teasing his slit in slow, calculated licks. He knew you liked it. You loved sucking his cock. You hummed around him as you tasted his pre-cum, making your tongue move harder against his tip. Eventually, though, you grew tired of the pre-cum and wanted the real thing. So you would gag, bob your head, hollow your cheeks, doing everything and anything in your power to get him to cum in your mouth.

You were such a whore for his cock.

”That’s it, suck it, suck it, my fucking beautiful girl.” In his fantasy, you hummed, sucking faster as his hand tried and failed to imitate you. “Come on, baby, you can take it.” His brain was screaming at his hand to do what he was seeing in his head, but it was to no avail. Despite his hand being a cheap knockoff, it would get the job done. Just not in the way he wanted.

“Fuck, Y/N, come home soon.”

As Sukuna continued thrusting his cock into his fist, you opened the door to his apartment. You were giddy, kicking your shoes off, searching for your handsome boyfriend. You had told him you were coming back on Thursday, which was a lie. A lie you were proud of! You knew he had the rest of the week off, so you took it upon yourself to take the week off yourself. This way, you could make up for your time away from him.

When you couldn't find Sukuna anywhere in the kitchen or living room, you grinned mischievously. Knowing him, he fell asleep after sending his little brothers off to school. That meant you could wake him up in the naughtiest way before getting your guts rearranged. Tip-toeing to his room, you tilted your head to the side as his groans and curses could be heard from his room.

When you peeked inside to see what he was doing, your breath caught in your throat. Sukuna was flushed. A light sweat had begun to bead over his toned muscles while he fucked his hand. His face was contorted with frustration as his hand moved up and down faster. Your poor baby was so close, but he couldn't get past the edge. His thick, girthy, perfect cock throbbed red with anger while it cried beads of pre-cum.

“Y/N, fuck Y/N, don't stop, so close.” Pulling your bottom lip between your teeth, you fought back a pleased giggle. Poor Sukuna, he must be missing you so badly. Jerking his cock off like a horny teenager. Desperate for release, for a mediocre orgasm.

Well, it was his lucky day. Because you, you were going to suck his would out. Using his shut eyes and heavy breathing to your advantage, you stepped inside his room. You made sure to hold your breath as you approached the edge of the bed. From up close, you could see the pained expression on his face. Poor thing, his cock must be so hard it hurts. What kind of girlfriend would you be if you just allowed him to suffer like this?

Bending over, you kitten licked the slit of his leaking cock. Sukuna’s cock throbbed hard before his body seized up as he pulled his hand away. “What the fu — oooh fuck.” You wasted no time, getting on the bed, body hunched over as you took the tip of his monstrous cock in your mouth. “Fuck, holy, Y/N?!” His disbelief melted into a gravely moan.

Seeing as your mouth was full, you hummed, looking up into his eyes. “Mhmm~” you attempted to wrap your hand around him, slowly stroking him in time with your sucking.

“Oh, fuck feels so good!” Sukuna wrapped his hand in your hair, tugging at the Y/H/C locks.”That’s it, just like fuckin’ that!” He shoved your head down, making you take his cock down your throat. The sudden action had you gagging as tears blurred your vision. “So pretty, fuck you're so fucking pretty with your lips wrapped around my cock.”

His praises had you sucking him down deeper. More tears streamed down your cheeks as you ran your tongue down the vein on the underside of his cock. Sukuna gasped, thrusting his hips up and into your mouth. Looking at him with blurry eyes, you gagged harder as he fucked your throat like he was fucking your tight pussy.

“Fuck, fuck, gonna cum, I’m gonna fuckin’ cum.” having him hold your head in place as he ducked your face was so arousing in the most intimate ways. You loved making him feel good. You got off on this. “Take it,” he gritted, “take it, suck it, fuckin’ fuck! Y/N!!” he threw his head back, back arching off the bed as ropes of cum filled your mouth. It was thick, hot, and slightly bitter.

You were determined not to waste a drop, so you swallowed and sucked, repeating the process until Sukuna pulled you off his softening dick. His chest heaving, cheeks flushed, the man looked like he ran a marathon. Seeing him in a state like this had you smirking as he gently caressed your head.

“Oh my fuck, I was not expecting this.”

“Mmm, surprise, I came home to spend time with you.”

Sukuna slowly pushed himself up on his elbows. “Good,” he grabbed you by the waist, easily lifting you, positioning you to straddle his neck. “No, why don't you take a seat here.” His middle and forefinger tapped at his lips. “And tell me all about your trip.” you ripped your underwear off, tossing them across the room, before holding your dress up in your hands.

“Well, you’ll never guess what Minami did.”

“Fuckin’ hate that bitch, tell me everything.” He muttered into your pussy as you gasped out in pleasure. Yeah, he felt a million times better now that you were back, right where you belonged.

Small City Girl

In which, Harry is a heartbroken man, and Y/N is a small city girl who works in a coffee shop.

_______________________________________________________________

“I promise yeh, she’s lovely, proper little down to earth thing. She’s a barista in mayfair, proper” Jeff says talking to Harry about Glenne’s friend, whom of which he hadn’t heard of until now.

“Why haven't you invited her to anything before?” Harry asked, raising an eyebrow. 

Jeff, knowing what Glenne and him were up to, just smiled and shrugged it off as miscommunication and timing.

Later that evening, arriving at Nialls for what would be their weekly pizza Fridays, which mainly consists of, pizza, movies, cosy clothes, some alcohol and just a little bit of mystery, Harry was already feeling tired.

Niall opened the door and walked off immediately. Niall was never the hostess with the mostess, more of a ‘make yourself a drink, you know where it is’ type of guy.

Harry ensures to make the rounds, as usual, kissing everyone's cheeks and giving them a light squeeze to say hello.

That is until his stood face to face with Y/N, the girl who seemed to have become Glenne’s new best friend all of a sudden.

Harry wasn’t complaining.

With medium length hair, bronzed skin, green emerald eyes, just like his, and a smile that immediately encouraged you to do the same, he really wasn’t complaining.

She adorned a cosy, warm like jumper, red, and some black gym leggings, Harry would presume for comfort and some tommy hilfiger socks that covered her tiny feet.

“‘Ello love, M’harry” he smiled, bending so he was able to press soft lips against the smoothness of her cheek.

“M’Y/N, it’s lovely to meet you, I’ve heard so much about you” She smiled politely as she unwrapped herself out of his warm embrace.

“Funny tha’, me too” Harry turns his head to Jeff raising an eyebrow as if he knows exactly what he’s up to before he’s even admitted it. 

“Harry, did you bring pizza or not?” Demands Niall sitting near Adam and Emi who seem to be cuddled up under a soft blanket.

“Didn’t know what everyone wanted, was just gonna order it on me phone when I got here.” Harry said waving his phone in the air as he slipped out of his shoes and kicked them to the side in the hallway.

Making himself comfy on the sofa, he noticed that Y/n was on the other sofa next to Jeff and Glenne who were snuggled up under the same blanket as her, but Y/N just looked as though she was third wheeling.

Other couples, Niall and Lux, Adam and Emi and Sarah and Mitch were in their respective couples, Harry and Y/N seemed to be outnumbered. 

______________

Pizza came, and was eaten, alcohol got brought out and devoured, everyone was tipsy to say the least.

“Right, your turn curly. Truth or dare” Niall probed trying to get the looser side of Harry to come out to play. 

“Truth” he mutters taking a swig of his Jack and Coke.

“Fancy anyone right now? Bae-cation anytime soon?” He asked.

Harry shook his head, Niall fully aware of his situation in regards to his ex girlfriend. 

“Nah, I’m on me own for a bit. No bae-cation” Harry said, needing two exact swigs on his drinks. 

For some reason, Harry found it in himself turning to look at Y/N’s reaction. Of course she was a good looking lady, and Jeff seemed fond of her ‘heart of gold and warm characteristics’ but what was pulling Harry in? 

Was it the way she treated him like a friend of a friend and didn’t immediately scream when she knew it was him?

Or how she wrapped him in a warm embrace back like she had known him forever?

Harry didn’t know, but Harry knew wanted more. Her kind eyes met his and Harry began to feel himself blush. 

Jeff and Glenne seemed to be working on their matchmaking skills already by making Y/N feel immensely uncomfortable being under the same blankets as them. 

This, of course, didn’t go unnoticed by Harry. “Hey, Y/N, come over ‘ere, get away from them love birds”

Y/N, a little surprised, got up, picking up her cup of tea (she wasn’t a big drinker) and walked over to Harry. Harry opened up the blanket signalling for her to get under.

Y/N, a little cautious but intrigued never less snuggled under the blanket.

Was she supposed to cuddle him? Did he want to cuddle her? Did he want her to be next to him or did he just feel bad?

If Y/N was being honest, with all she had heard from Glenne, she seemed to like the idea of Harry, him being completely gorgeous helped.

Harry, who found it in his nature just to wrap his arms around Y/N and pull her close, smiled down at Y/N as she began to think.

He just said there was no girl, no girl in his life for anything, was this him trying to initiate something? Would he even like her? Ultimately she was just a girl, living in a big city making coffee and watching too many rom-coms.

His unruly curly hair, his green eyes that blazed into your soul with every bit of hope that you had no idea what of. He had a way with making people feel comfortable, at home, welcome and not the slightest bit cold. 

Y/N was fucked.

But Y/N had to remind herself that Harry Styles was simply something she couldn’t have. She’d never fit into his big travelling lifestyle, or his other famous friends, his lifestyle, the buying Gucci without having to finance. 

She was little Y/N and he was big Harry, it would never work.

Somehow though, she begged for her mind to change.

_________

They’re full on cuddling now, everyones a little too tipsy, except them. Harry is the support of the cuddle, on his bag with his arms wrapped around Y/N comfortably. Y/n and taken it upon herself to snuggle in, her back against his chest and one of her small hands closed around his softly dragging her thumb back and forth against the smoothness of Harry’s hand.

What moisturizer does he use?

Y/N shifts, now a little uncomfortable in their position. 

“Can’t get comfy love?” Harry asks in a soft whisper, not that they had anything to whisper about, everyone was well aware of their cuddling.

Y/N shook her head. Harry shifted going on to his side and gently moving Y/N so that she was in front of him and in a spooning position.

“Better?”

“Much, thank you”

_______

“Something MUST have happened.” Glenne insisted.

Y/N shook her head, everyone left, he took me home and kissed my cheek.” Y/N steamed milk and gently poured it into the cup with a filled expresso, motioning her hand to create a leaf pattern in the cup.

“No” 

Y/N looks up at Glenne, who’s dressed ever so elegantly all the time. 

“I promise”

“I call bullshit.”

“Will you just take your coffee Glenne” Y/N giggled.

“So, do you fancy him?” Glenne asked.

Rolling her eyes, Y/N looked away. 

“You so do!” 

Y/N shook her head and giggled.

“I do, but don’t go raving about it, if anything was to happen I need to know him more and we need to spend some time together” Y/N smiled.

______

The second time they saw each other was another regular occurrence that Harry attended, which it now seems that Y/N does too.

Jeff’s pizza night.

Harry did his normal walk around the room and say hello to everyone with a kiss on the cheek and a tight hug, Y/N receiving the exact same treatment.

Harry seemed a little off with Y/N this time, not really talking to her as much as Nialls

The boys were chilling out on Jeff’s massive sofa that was adorned with loads of pillows to satisfy everyone and anyones preferences of a pillow.

Meanwhile, the girls were in the open plan kitchen chatting over a bottle of wine, or five. 

Harry however, had noticed that Y/N had only had two glasses and was taking her time. He liked that. He liked she wasn’t someone who drank loads and became frustrating after a drink or two. 

He’d looked at her a few times this evening. Maybe a few too many. Short glances and a quick turn of the head everytime he made eye contact, with his cheeks blossoming rose everytime.

What was it about this girl that had him almost putty in his seat?

Why was he so intrigued?

“Disney would be a fab idea.” Lux said.

“Yeah, we can all take the Eurostar and spend the weekend!” Sarah added. 

Sarah called the boys to come in the kitchen, each followed.

“We were thinking why don’t we all go Disney for the weekend?” Sarah proposed. 

All the boys began to nod and all Harry could think about was the numbering situation. Everyones in couples except him and Y/N.

“Everyone up for it?” Lux questioned and everyone was in, even Harry, even Y/N…

______________ “Hello sweetheart,” Anne said as she walked out of the lift and into Harry’s condo where he was sitting comfortably on his sofa.

“Hey Mum, you okay?” He got up and offered her a cuddle. “Tea?” She nodded.

Walking to the kitchen Anne began to start conversation.

“What’s been up with you recently?” She probed.

“Nothing much, just having some down time, found it really relaxing just taking time for myself. Done a few pilates class actually, thanks for the suggestion.” Harry thanks.

Anne smiles and takes a seat on his bar stool and watches him make her tea. “Two sugars love” she reminded.

Placing to sugars in her tea and none in his own he placed the tea in front of his Mum and took the seat next to her.

“Mum, I think I have a problem.” He stated.

“Must be from your father, nothing to do with me” She joked and Harry laughed a little. Anne motioned for him to go on.

“There’s the girl, real stunner Mum, something about her. Y/N. Can’t say I know her overly well, well, once at Nialls and once at Jeff’s but you know there’s a little something.” He said.

Anne smiled softly and placed her hand over his.

“So what’s holding you back sweetheart, never normally like this with girls. I’m pretty sure you know how to woo her.” She said lightheartedly. 

“I can’t do it again Mum, after Amelia, with the fame and money hungry, I just don’t want to go through it.” He sighed.

“I’m scared of putting myself in a position where I’m likely to get hurt. Do I need to focus on myself for a bit or what? But it just felt so good to have someone to hold at Niall’s the other night. To have someone to snuggle down with and be a bit infatuated with.” 

Anne felt for a son, truly. Amelia broke his heart. Stepped on it, smashed it, blended it and threw it away without a blink of an eyelid. Now here he was.

“You said yourself. You don’t know her yet, you don’t know if she is like Amelia, and I doubt she is. I’m sure Jeff and Niall are clued up enough to know what she’s like if they invite her round” Anne added. 

“She’s Glenne’s friend, think she’s trying to set us up if I’m honest.” Harry rolled his eyes at the thought.

“Then, I’m sure Glenne’s not silly. Why not just try things aye?” She rubbed Harry’s arm and Harry smiled at the affection.

“There’s a trip to Disneyland” Harry mentioned.

Anne raised her eyebrows. “A trip?”

“Yeah, Lux and Sarah kind of arranged it. Everyone’s in couples except Y/N and I.” Harry said.

“Okay, this is good! Text her, ask her if, because of the number situation she fancies catching a ride with you and then offer to book a twin room to save her some money on a room for herself. Put yourself out there babe.” Anne suggested.

Harry nodded. That was a good idea. That way, in the car on the way to Paris he can get to know her a little more, AND it's a nice thing to do. 

“How did you know Robin was right for you? How do you find the right person Mum?” Harry asked rubbing his face. 

Anne took a moment to collect her answer. Looking at her son, who was hurt, but wanting to love again, she came up with the best answer she could.

“One day, you’ll stop thinking about other women, you’ll stop thinking that there’s better, you’ll stop thinking about finding love, because you would have found it, truly. Someone will walk into your life and love you for you. They’ll love you because it’s something they feel rather than something they want. They’ll selfless, but also selfish when needed. You’ll wake up every morning to turn over to see a face that you feel you can’t live without. You’ll know my love, you will. That person will be your bread and water, and you theirs. It takes time, and time can be the best healer. We live in a world of instant. Instant coffee, Instagram, next day or same day delivery, but love isn’t instant, it takes time and energy and somethines, much like you now, you’ll have little energy, but darling, someone is out there for you.”

Harry took in his Mum’s words.

“And Harry, it might be this girl, Y/N may be it. But she also might not. And that's okay because everything in life is a lesson, and lessons are meant to be taught.”

“So, do me a favour Harry and try. One heartbreak in life isn’t the end.”

Carpe Posterum ~ Seize the Future 

“Antoni, henny, what delicious treat did you make for us today?” Jonathan asked as he leaned on the counter in the loft.  

“Chocolate mousse with chocolate from the best shop in Brooklyn with fresh whipped cream.”

“Yummy.”

“It’s time to check in with our favorite Avenger,” Bobby announced excitedly.  

“Are we ready?” Karamo asked as he grabbed the remote.

“Yasss!”

They settled themselves on the couch and started Steve’s reveal.

Steve stood in front of his mirror still in the white Henley, pondering what to wear.

“He is so gorgeous,” Jonathan gushed.

“Oh my gosh, yes,” Karamo agreed.

Steve finally settled on a light blue Henley over dark jeans, with a pair of brown boots.

“Tan, do you approve?”

“It’s a bit more casual than I’d want, but honestly this is such a huge step up from what he was doing. I’m happy.”

“Plus these are like his closest friends. I think he looks comfortable,” Bobby added.

“Agreed.

Steve pulled the iron man apron over his head with a chuckle and tossed a tea towel over his shoulder as he prepared the lasagna.

Everything was ready only moments before his doorbell rang.

“Oh. My. God.”

Y/n was the first to react, jaw dropping to the floor as she scanned him up and down, settling on his neatly trimmed beard.

“You look amazing.”

“Come on in. Take a good look at the Fab Five’s handiwork.”

“Holy shit,” Bucky swore as they piled into the building. “You almost look presentable.”

Despite the jab, Bucky was beaming at his best friend.

“You look great, man.”

“Come on, give us a twirl.”

Steve did a slow turn with his arms out so they could see the whole look.

“Umm, y/n definitely just checked out his butt.”

“Who could blame her, henny?”          

They each hugged him in turn, but Steve didn’t let go of y/n. Opting instead to keep her tucked into his side. She didn’t mind in the least.

“Are you ready to see the place?”

“Hell yes!”

As expected, Sam and Bucky were immediately enthralled with garage and the state of the art home gym. Y/n, however, was much more taken with the first floor of the living space.

“It’s so light and open. I love it.”

“I do too.”

Bucky gave Steve a watery smile when he sat in the wingback chair.

“Thank you for that by the way.”

“My pleasure. But I don’t think we’ll both fit anymore.”

“No, I don’t think so,” Steve hummed. “But that’s why we have this great sectional.”

“Can we just talk about the fact that he has not let go of Y/n once since she came in.”

“I’m sensing a love connection.”

“It seems reciprocated at least.”

“Oh 100%. She is so sweet. And you can tell how much she cares about him.”

“Same with him. He would go completely soft talking about her. He always smiled when he talked about her.”

“Hopefully, he’ll make a move.”

 “How did the week go?” Natasha asked as she perched on the back of the sectional after they’d finished the quick tour of the upstairs.

“It was different than what I expected,” Steve admitted.

“What did you expect?” Bucky asked.  

“I guess I thought it would be more of a passive experience. Like I thought they would just tell me what to wear, or how I should style my hair. I didn’t expect it to be a conversation. That was really nice.”

“So you feel like you had a say in all of the decisions?”

He nodded his agreement.

“Definitely. And I haven’t felt this in control of my life in probably ever. And now it feels like I can, you know, maybe enjoy retirement.”

They all smiled, and y/n patted his thigh.

“We’re so happy to hear you say that.”

“Does that mean we’re forgiven for nominating you for the show?” Sam joked.

“I was never all that mad, so I’m not sure forgiveness is necessary, but my gratitude certainly is. Thank you. All of you for caring enough to do this. I love you all, and I haven't told you that nearly enough.”

“We love you too, punk.” Bucky clapped him on the shoulder and pulled him into him.

“So Antoni actually managed to teach you how to cook?” Natasha asked, warily eyeing the lasagna which looked too good to be true.

“Yes, he did.”

“But he didn’t help you make this?” Sam clarified.

“Nope. Did it all my own.”

“Yeah, you did! Like a champ,” Antoni cheered.

Y/n quickly cut a bite and forked it into her mouth to shut them up, burning her tongue in the process.

“Ouch.” She muffled a curse in her water glass.

“You okay, doll?”

She coughed, thumping her chest.

“Yeah, I’m good. It’s just very hot. It’s delicious though. Antoni taught you well.”

Steve preened.

“Look how proud he is!”

“Well it helps that it’s coming from her too.”

“She really is so lovely.”

As the others dug in, adding their surprised by honest praise, Steve and Y/n shared a look.

“Ack. Look at the secret smile!”

After dinner, Sam and Bucky raced to the basketball court to settle their latest ridiculous argument and Natasha busied herself with the dartboard. Steve knew they were trying to help him out subtly – well not so subtly – since all of them winked super exaggeratedly.

“That is how you wingman,” Karamo announced.

“I can take care of those, y/n,” Steve argued as y/n started soaping up the dishes.

“Please,” she waved him off. “You cooked. I can clean up. Dinner was delicious by the way, Steve. Thank you.”

“You’re very welcome. But seriously, just let those soak,” he insisted, reaching around her at the sink to turn off the water. “I have a surprise for you.”

“Oh?”

Her voice rose in excitement as she turned, still trapped between him and the sink (not that she was complaining). He grinned down at her.

“The tension is seriously killing me.”

“I have not rooted for two people to kiss so much since Mia Thermopolis was about to be crowned Queen of Genovia and totally didn’t need a husband, but had that hunky Chris Pine ready to be her prince. And let’s be real, who doesn’t want to kiss Chris Pine.”

“My thoughts exactly,” Tan teased as Jonathan sat back pleased with his reference.

“Yep, I made a special dessert all for you.”

“Really?” Her eyes lit up at the prospect.

“Yeah, Antoni taught me. Gave me a foolproof recipe for your favorite. It’s only got two ingredients and none of the equipment plugs in.”

“Steve, did you make me chocolate mousse?”

He shrugged and gestured toward the island.

“Have a seat.”

She hopped onto the comfortable bar stool, crossing her legs as she watched him rummage around in the fridge.

 “She looks like she wants to eat him up,” Jonathan guffawed.

“The quickest way to my heart is through food, so I’m not surprised.”

“Get it, girl.”

 Steve emerged victorious with two extra large martini glasses filled with chocolate mousse and a canister of fresh whipped cream.

 “Umm, bonus points for presentation!” Antoni cheered, bouncing up and down on the couch.

“Wait you didn’t tell him to do that?” Karamo asked.

“No. I just taught him how to make it.”

Karamo was visibly impressed as were the others.

“You go, Steven! Slay that presentation.”

 “Well it certainly looks nice. Here’s hoping it’s edible,” she teased, taking the spoon he offered her.

He waited impatiently for her to taste it, and when her eyes slid shut he lit up.

“Oh my god, this is amazing. It tastes like those little elephant chocolates you get for me every Christmas. Only like it’s a cloud. Is this really only two ingredients?”

“Yep.”

“What are they chocolate and magic?” she giggled.

“Something like that. So you like?”

“Delicious.” She reached for him, pulling him to her side of the island leaving her hand in his. “And it’s really sweet that you learned to make it just for me. You know this may earn you the title of favorite super soldier.”

“You mean that’s not already a given? I’m wounded.”

“Don’t be annoying,” she glared up at him.  

He pretended to zip his lips and throw away the key.

“Much better.”

They enjoyed their mousse in a comfortable silence, which she finally broke a few minutes later.

“I’m really proud of you for doing this you know. It was really brave.”

“I would never have done it without you guys nominating me,” he admitted in a quiet voice.

Y/n reached out for both of his hands, pulling him to stand directly in front of her.

“That may be true, but you are the most stubborn person I know.”

His brow furrowed in confusion.

“Thank you?”

“My point,” she giggled, “Is that if you really didn’t want this, it wouldn’t have mattered how we begged or pleaded with you. You would not have done it, or you would have stonewalled them. The fact that you opened up, means you put in the work. You chose to be happy. And I’m so proud of you.”

His cheeks tinged pink ever so slightly.

“Thank you for everything, y/n. You’ve always been there for me. When I came out of the ice. When I was looking for Bucky and throughout the Accords debacle. I don’t know where I’d be without you.”

“The feeling is mutual.”

“And Bobby told me about you getting the photos from the Smithsonian. That must have taken you ages.”

She dropped her eyes to their intertwined hands.  

“It was nothing.”

He let go of one of her hands so he could lift her chin.

“It is everything,” he murmured, cupping her cheek.

Leaning down, he gently kissed her, fully intending to pull back after a moment. He was not expecting her to wrap an arm around his neck and pull him closer.  

The Fab five quickly paused the video and celebrated.

“Yes!”

“Finally!”

“Well done, Steven.”

When they continued, the edit politely cut away from the couple and directly to the next day. Steve was once again in his room getting ready, only this time his outfit was the tux.

“Tan, I am completely in love with that tuxedo.”

“It’s the perfect color for him.”

“His eyes are so blue. Oh I could just lose myself all day in those oceans.”

“He looks so sharp. And you know he’s going to stand out.”

“And he should. This night is all about him.”

The cheer from the crowd was deafening when he stepped off the elevator. Steve’s cheeks tinged pink, but his confident gait didn’t falter.

“Looking good, Rogers. You might even be able to get the girl after all of this,” Tony smirked, eyeing Y/n who was waiting patiently by the bar.

“Maybe I will,” Steve smirked.

“You look happy, Cap. I’m glad,” he added in a more serious tone.

The two men hugged, and Steve continued his circuit of the room.

Thor complimented his hair and beard, and Bruce loved his tuxedo. The rest of the guests clamored for their moment to speak with him. Finally, Natasha was able to cut in and lead him to the one place he’d been trying to get to all night. Y/n.

“Hey, handsome.”

“Hi, beautiful.”

He leaned down for a lingering kiss before leaning on the bar next to her.

“How are you doing?”

He took a deep breath and swayed his head side to side.

“Pretty good. This is pretty tame for Tony.”

“Nat and I had final say on the guest list,” Y/n reported proudly.  

“You’re welcome by the way,” Nat smirked at him.

“Thank you, both.”

Bucky and Sam were practically falling over themselves laughing as they joined them.

“What trouble are you getting up too?”  

“Nothing, doll,” Bucky promised.

“We just saw Tony sputtering because he saw you two kiss.”

“He did tell me I might get the girl at the end of the night.”

“Little did he know,” Sam grinned.

Steve bounced back and forth between different groups for much of the evening. Often Y/n would accompany him, but sometimes she would sit back and watch.

“They’re such a pretty couple.”

“I love them.”

About halfway through the party, Tony took the stage.

“Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for coming out tonight to celebrate the retirement of the one and only Captain America. Steve Rogers. Now, before we hear from the man himself, I’d like to say a few words. Steve, I know that we didn’t get off to the best of starts, but throughout our ups and downs you have never wavered in your commitment to helping people. The world is a much safer and better place because of you. You may be moving on from the Avengers, but you’ll always have a home here. Thank you for your service. And happy retirement. Everyone please raise your glass, to Steve Rogers.”

The room raised their glasses and toasted him, and Steve teared up.

“Now, I think we would all like to hear from Steve. So, Captain Rogers, please come on up.”

Y/n squeezed his hand as he approached the stage, hugging Tony tightly.

“Thank you, Tony.”

“You’re welcome, Capsicle.”

Steve snorted and clapped him on the back as they traded places. He took a deep breath before starting.

“Hi, everyone. Thank you all for coming. And thank you, Tony for hosting this retirement party. I don’t think it will come as a surprise to many people here that I didn’t really ever think that something like this was in my future. But while I will always be here to fight when I’m needed, it’s time for me to lay down the shield.”

The room was silent as he spoke. Plenty of people in the room had been on the receiving end of Steve’s motivational speeches, but few had ever heard him talk about himself.

“He is so composed,” Karamo complimented as Steve continued his speech.

“This was not an easy decision. And part of the reason for that is because I felt like I was failing everyone by giving up the shield. And to be honest, I had no idea what to do with myself if I wasn’t fighting. But I’ve spent this past week with five fabulous men who have helped me find a future. They also showed me that I am more the Captain America. But I’ve also realized that Captain America is bigger than I am. The world deserves and needs a symbol of hop. And I’m so very proud to say that that is exactly what will be happening. I am officially passing my shield onto the only man who could take it on. Sam Wilson. Sam, please come up here.”

The room erupted in shock both on the television and in the loft.

“Oh my God.”

“Did anyone know he was planning this?” Antoni asked.  

“No.” They all chorused.

Sam approached the stage with his head held high as the others overcame their shock and started cheering. Steve held out a hand to help him up, and Sam couldn’t help but smile as he remembered the first day they met.

“The floor is yours, Captain.”

They hugged fiercely before Steve stepped back, literally and figuratively.

“Hi, everyone. I’m going to keep this short. Steve, I just want to say thank you for trusting me. The shield has absolutely been a symbol of hope for me. But the shield would be nothing without your heart and your goodness. I will do my very best to carry on your legacy. Thank you.”

“Let’s hear it for Captain America,” Bucky yelled from the back of the room, grinning like a fool.

Everyone cheered as Sam and Steve came down off the stage, and Sam was engulfed by well-wishers.

Steve was beaming as he made his way to Y/n, Bucky, and Natasha.

“When did you make that decision?” Natasha asked as he grabbed a beer.

“It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while, but talking to Karamo made me realize that it wasn’t I was Captain America or there was no Captain America. There was another option.”  

 Eventually the party goers wandered out and only the team was left. Steve smiled as he held his hand out for Y/n, leading her to the dance floor where they lost themselves in each other, swaying to the soft music.

“Aww yay.”

“He looks so happy.”

“Uggh. Can we toast our Steve?”

“Yes.”

“To Steve Rogers.”

“And his future.”

The Fab Five raised their glasses.

~~~~~~

A/n:  So that’s it. I hope you enjoyed this story. I really loved being able to delve into Steve’s character. As I said there’s two more short things coming eventually. So keep an eye out. And stay tuned for updates to other WIPs and some new content!

Are Top Personal Training Certifications Worth It??

To help aspiring physical trainer certification online choose the best personal trainer training program, we’ve decided to put together a list of (mostly) objective criteria we believe trainers are most concerned with. While there is no “best physical trainer certification online,” there are different factors that may better resonate with certain people.

Top Personal Training Certifications

ISSA – International Sports Sciences Association

NASM – National Academy of Sports Medicine

ACE – The American Council on Exercise

NSCA – National Strength and Conditioning Association

NCSF -  National Council on Strength And Fitness

NESTA – National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association

AFAA – Athletics and Fitness Association of America

If you’re considering a fitness career, having the proper credentials is the first step to success. Personal trainer training programs educate and prepare you to work with people in various settings like a health club, gym, or rehabilitation program.

The best personal training certification is a major one that matches your skill level and time commitment. It’s also reasonable and comes from an accredited certifying body.

The personal training certifications on this list are all standard by the health and fitness industry. That said, some are considered more difficult than others. The personal training certification exams from NSCA and ACSM are academically challenging and require a significant amount of studying.

A credential from one of these organizations can lead to several employment and career opportunities. But if you’re looking for a certification that’s slightly less intense, but still carries national gratitude, then ACE is an excellent choice.

Overall, there are several reputable personal trainer training programs and organizations. When researching personal training certifications on your own, at all times look for the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) seal of approval.

This communicates to you the program and certification are accredited and nationally recognized.

Personal Trainer Certification

Personal training has taken an innovative turn with the necessity of trainers increasing with the boom in fitness-related content in social media. Professionals in every single field of work are intense on structure a fitness routine that can fit into their busy schedules.

The fitness fab has improved the necessity for fitness trainers who are not only passionate but also certified in their fields. Fitness trainers are expected to not only have knowledge about fitness equipment but they should also be able to endorse lifestyle changes and follow up with their clients providing each of their customized training methods.

Benefits of Getting physical trainer certification online

Getting physical trainer certification online in the fitness industry is one way of getting a better line of clientele who is keen on receiving the best fitness regimes for the amount they are willing to pay. Due to the free nature of the fitness industry and since social media provides fake and problematic fitness regimes that claim to make people lose weight faster than ever, it has become necessary that gyms and other fitness industries require certified professionals to increase their credibility.

Having a physical trainer certification online n while beginning a career in the fitness industry guarantees a level of knowledge in all the areas required like anatomy and physiology. It might not be available in other self-trained personal trainers who might be well-versed only in client-coaching techniques and the practical side of exercising. It is this factor that increases the credibility of the trainer and finally gives them leeway to be self-employed.

With the physical trainer certification online, as a personal trainer, you will want to be able to track client workouts and monitor their progress with ease.

Friday Faves

Hi hi! Happy Friday! How’s the morning going? I apologize I’ve been a little MIA this week. We’ve been focused on getting the girls to stay in their beds all night and thankfully after last night, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Liv slept totally through the night last, in her bed, and P got up once. The biggest gold star: Caroline didn’t wake us up barking in the middle of the night. She’s been worse than the girls lately! We’re letting her sleep upstairs now and she seems happy with that. High fives all around! I feel super groggy and weird; my body isn’t used to being horizontal for so many hours at once. I’m enjoying an off day from the gym and looking forward to planting outside with the girls, hanging out with the fam, and celebrating St. Patrick’s Day + Meg’s baby shower!

(I can’t even handle these cute lil leprechauns.)

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite things from and the week and around the web. Please share something you’re lovin’ in the comments section if you’d like to join in the fun!

Random:

A new play set! The original plan was to build a pool this summer, but with everything going on – there are some big purchases on the way and first year airline pay isn’t fab – we decided to hold off until next year. After school, the girls have been playing outside for hours with literally nothing in our backyard. I loved that they’d use their imaginations to build fairy houses and play games, but I thought it would be fun to have something extra outside for them to use. I found this on Craigslist and the Pilot and my stepdad put it together on Sunday. The girls went CRAZY for it! They played on it for 5 hours the first day, only taking breaks to eat snacks and drink water, and have been outside swinging, sliding, and giggling each day since. Best purchase this year.

Ps. Bella found a chicken tender on the table, took it outside, and throughly enjoyed gumming it on the grass.

P and I spent a morning at the zoo while Livs was at school. Let’s just appreciate this adorable otter eating salad on his back. Goals for days.

Fashion + beauty:

Eminence exfoliator. I had the most glorious facial at Greentoes after looking for a salon that includes natural and organic products.

I’ve been a fan of Eminence for years, but it’s kind of hard to find! I purchased the exfoliator after my treatment because while I like the Beautycounter exfoliator, I wanted something with a little more grit, ya know? This makes my skin feel super soft and is gentle enough to use daily. I just mix it with my normal cleanser and a little water, and boom.

Obsessed with these sandals! So cute for spring.

Read, watch, listen:

QUEER EYE IS BACK ON NETFLIX. #blessed #sothankful #yasqueen

I’m so looking forward to binging on Season 3 and introducing the Pilot to this show. (I really fell in love with it while he was gone.) Every episode is so heartwarming and inspirational. I cry pretty much every single time lol.

Have you guys seen the Aladdin trailer?! At first I wasn’t sure about Will Smith as the genie, but after seeing the full trailer, I’m so.here. for this.

Nick Jonas and John Stamos trolling each other is my favorite thing on the internet right now.

Life before the internet.

What Alex Trebek is really like. <3

What’s your email sign-off? I always do “xo” or “best wishes” depending on the recipient.

Good eats:

I’m on a huge green juice kick lately. Since our juicer is still in storage – all of our stuff gets here from Georgia next week! – I’ve been splurging and buying them. My fave is from Nekter and I’ll usually get green apple, spinach, cucumber, lemon, and lots of ginger.

Kyle, Meg and Everly came over for dinner last night and it was so much fun. I made my fave Ina chicken recipe, some sautéed green beans, and Kyle brought fresh-made rye bread.

I asked him if he’d put together a salad from whatever was in our fridge, and he made the most ridiculous impromptu salad with ingredients I would never think to pair together: spinach, dates, mini bell peppers, raspberries, blackberries, orange segments, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. It was so, so good.

The cookies n’ cream ice cream from Cashew Cow is my favorite treat right now. It’s ice cream made entirely with cashews and you would never know it’s dairy-free because it’s so rich and creamy. YUM.

Love this gem from Trader Joe’s on wraps and salads.

Fitness:

Expecting mama friends, check out this prenatal workout video!

5 sweaty workout finishers.

Another reason to have some protein before bed.

Happy Friday!

Have you tried any awesome recipes lately?

Also, Portland friends: any recommendations for a night in your amazing city? I’ll be downtown just for 24 hours. <3

xoxo

December Highlighted member-Marissa Ranauto

Name- Marissa Ranauto

Hometown- Bear, DE

Occupation- Pre-school Special Education Teacher

Gym member (how long) September 2017

Sports (growing up/now)-   Some may argue otherwise, but I did competitive cheerleading throughout high school.

Hobbies-  Decorating, baking, singing, and of course the gym!

Favorite Holiday- Christmas! The most wonderful time of the year

Favorite Movie- That is hard! Casino/Good Fellas Joe Pesci is my spirit animal

Favorite Song- At the moment Up All Nigh by R3HAB & MOTi, but of all time Free Fallin' by Tom Petty (pretty much all of his music )

If you could have a super hero power- Cure Cancer

If you could play a professional sport- I would love to be WWE Diva does that count?

Favorite Kids show growing up? Hey Arnold!

Most proud moment at the gym? Completing Grace. Although it took me a while it was a big accomplishment because I was afraid I would back out - it felt so good to jump from 55 to 95 and I could not have done without the amazing support we have at the gym!

Fitness Goals Long Term & Life Goals: I don't ever want to stop committing myself to fitness and pushing myself beyond my limits - thats the only way to get better! Complacency is my biggest fear and I love the unpredictability that life brings. I am certainly the happiest I have ever been. I am at the job of my dreams and hope to be principal someday. I don't have a grand plan or map of what my life should look like. I just know that if I continue to surround myself with amazing friends, family, and opportunities that I will be exactly where I am supposed to be. All of what I do and how I live is a result of the impact my Mom had on me. Never settle for less than extraordinary.

2018 Fitness Goals- Now that all the craziness of sports seasons are over I really want to commit to my old schedule - I just feel better when I do. My main focus is to get toes to bar and pull ups and to focus on perfecting my form.

Favorite moment from this years open? I just loved watching everyone crush their goals, it really is an amazing sight to see!

What motivates you at the gym?  The music, the people, the difficulty of the work outs, no workout is ever too hard that you can't through- there is always an end and new goal to achieve.

Something/Someone that Inspired(s) you at the gym- The women at our gym are incredible ! They smash difficult workouts then gather their kiddos up in the playroom. I love seeing a group of such strong women who constantly push themselves it has really helped me to focus less on my body image and more on what my body is capable of.

Favorite (specific) wod we have ever done- I cannot remember the name , but it was the one where we had to carry our partner, it was a hero wod. There was so much meaning to it, I loved it !

Least favorite wod: I think it was 18.3 - the one with all the jump ropes not because of difficulty - but because I had such a TERRIBLE attitude during it and I let my head get in the way - luckily as always there is always a chance for redemption.

One thing most people don’t know about you- Embarrassing , but I don't know how to ride a bike

What is a guilty pleasure you have? I have an addiction to monthly subscriptions ipsy, just fab, fab/fit/fun, fabletics - its a problem

Somewhere you would love to travel to? Italy to see where my grandparents grew up!

Favorite Beverage: Vodka and club with a lime

Something that is silly you can’t live without- I cannot live without my morning protein shake I think I would become a monster without it.

Favorite Gym memory-  Finishing the open ! Not because it was over but, because it was something I never would have thought I would have completed. I have a hard time accepting when I can't do things and the open really humbled me! I realized that instead of telling myself I couldn't do certain things to work that much harder to get there for the next open.

Name a pet peeve of yours-  The "r" word.

Design the perfect wod- AMRAPs are my favorite! Something that would include burpees (sorry), sit ups, kettle bell swings, thrusters, and throwing those weighted bags! Anything that involves intense cardio - I like when we have to move from one thing to another

What would you tell someone that is thinking of joining our gym? Try to let whatever fears or insecurities you have at the door. Joining this gym was probably one of the best decisions I have made for myself. You will learn things about yourself you never knew, you will taken to highs you never been, you will be surrounded by some pretty incredible people. Stick with it because you will see the most unbelievable physical and mental gains in such a short time. Don't worry about being the best just be YOUR absolute best and it WILL pay off, it's not being done first or lifting the heaviest its about giving your absolute all and that will trickle out in everything you do. No it is not a cult it is an amazing support system, a family that you will be forever grateful for.

6 awesome ways to lose weight and make new friends.

January is almost over, she thought nervously. The board on her wall, with the list of resolutions scribbled on it, stared back at her jeeringly; taunting her, mercilessly ribbing her. Work towards getting fit, make new friends, read the top two. She bit her lip and resignedly gave her muffin top a slight pinch, reaching for her phone, wondering who would be available for something fun. But, all her friends were busy, needless to say, as was she. Between work, making ends meet, and being an independent woman in the madness of Mumbai, it was just not easy to let go of midnight snacking, and the comfort of being holed up at home and napping, in whatever free time she could muster. 'I must find a way', she thought for the umpteenth time, before giving up and reaching for the leftover fried noodles from the previous night sitting in the fridge.

Let's face it. Most of us have a similar soliloquy at least once a week. It is almost like a self-inflicted shackle. It's time to make some changes. After all, it is a new year!

Believe it or not, there's so much you can do right here in Mumbai that will help you achieve those coveted abs, or those athletic legs while socialising and making new friends. No, you are not getting away this time. We have already compiled a list. Read on, we insist!

1) Kickboxing

Everyone is doing it these days! Fiendishly vigorous, and often regimented, with trainers that refuse to have mercy, kickboxing is a great way to get fit legs, and arms, with those elusive obliques thrown in. Not just fit, you will also get stronger, healthier, and not to mention, be well equipped to deal with an unfortunate situation that might require a fair knowledge of self-defence techniques.

2) Zumba

Zumba forayed into the world of fitness a few years ago and took over like a hurricane. A great way to de-stress, Zumba is a fun, laidback, and an ostensibly easy way to lose the flab. Imagine having a dance party, and dancing away to the best chartbusters? That's essentially what Zumba is. In the process, you burn more than a thousand calories, meet new people, and learn to laugh at yourself while getting less stiff and more graceful.

Both Boombox and Step N Dance offer a large variety of classes you can choose from.

3) CrossFit

Often called a philosophy more than a form of work-out by ardent CrossFitters, this is one conditioning programme that claims to be non-judgemental, accepting, ever-encouraging, and much more like a community building activity than a form of exercise. Perfect for people who tend to get bored of routines, CrossFit offers a burst of variety and diversity, with something new to do in every session.  Core training, combat training, as well as cardio-vascular are covered under this broad umbrella. A great way to internalise fitness as a way of life with like-minded folk, CrossFit trainers and clubs are spread through the city.

Physio Flex Fitness offers both MMA as well as other Mixed Martial Art classes.

4) BootcampWorkout

If you are all about quick workouts which don't require equipment, are intense and burn fat, Bootcamp should be your pick. Gaining popularity among city-dwellers, Bootcampers often go to Girgaum Chowpatty on the weekends for a morning dose of fitness followed by a decadent yet guilt-free brunch.

You can find a variety of Bootcamp classes here - 6262 fitness.

5) Spinning

Imagine washboard abs, strong sinewy legs, and an overall increase in your stamina. Spinning is the best way to achieve these goals while hanging with fellow cycling-lovers. Hop on a stationary cycle, and pedal away till you are sweating buckets. Exchange grins and groans with your cohorts, and turn flab to fab in just a few months. Spinning is intense, fun and works like a charm.

You can find Spinning classes at Inch by Inch, The Body Temple.

6) Long Distance Running Clubs

They say running never gets easier, you just get faster. Long distance running could seem inane, and even pointless to those who haven't had a taste of this magical form of exercise. It is intoxicating, and a form of meditation at the same time. The most basic form of work-out, long distance runners are often clannish and cliquey, stick together, and almost always have a host of private jokes. If you are new to the club, you may initially feel a little left out, but you will catch up soon enough--quite literally.  Long distance running is a great way to get fit while forging strong friendships. In the process, you make pals for life and get legs which are to-die-for.

If you want to get some fresh air and exercise without too much effort then take a class at Gateway Sailing Club, in town. Here you can rent a sailboat and take lessons under the supervision of the finest instructors in Bombay.

If this hasn't inspired you, we don't know what will! So get motivated, buy new shoes, slip into those track pants and sign up for a class already! Here's to a fit and fast 2017!
