The sunlight coming through the gabs in the blinds woke me the next morning. I looked up to see I was still lying on Steve's chest, with his arms wrapped around me. His eyes slowly opened as I looked up to him, as if he knew I was awake.

"Morning" he said in his sleepy morning voice that would melt anyways heart.

"Morning" I replied as I looked into his baby blue eyes. I couldn't stop the smile that crept onto my face. We lay there for a few minutes before I decided to sit up.

"Are you okay? Do you need anything?" He asked as he jumped up from the bed. It was if he was ready to go and run for whatever I said next.

"You need to calm down" I state, "I'm just going down to get some breakfast, and then I have to run into SHIELD to get the report from Grant and fill it out."

"Oh so he's Grant now? What happened agent?" Steve questions, almost as if he's jealous.

"Are you jealous or something?" I reply with a question, it's fun to mess with Steve.

"No, it's just..." he trails off "...nothing, forget about it." He says as he's about to walk out the door.

"Steve" I say as I grab him by the arm. "There's nothing between me and Agent Ward okay? And even if there if there was, which their isn't, it's not like we... whatever this" I say as I motion between me and Steve "is...I um, I like this. And I don't want this to change." I say.

I can see a smile growing on his face. "I don't want this" he motions between me and him "to change either, you're right, I'm sorry and I should have trusted you." He says as he pulls me into a hug.

"I'm not really a hugger" I laugh and then he squeezes me tighter, "ow, the ribs, the ribs, please" he releases me suddenly and looks at me to make sure I'm okay, I can see the worry and guilt build up in his eyes.

"I-I'm so sorry I forgot, are you okay?" He asks in a serious voice. I can't help but burst laugh.

"You, you shoulda, should have seen, your face" I say I better laughs. I can feel tears coming down my eyes as I'm laughing.

"That's not even funny in the slightest!" He exclaims. I give him a smirk and he quickly looks away as he tries to hide his smile. He can't stay made at me for more than 5 minutes.

A few hours go by and I'm nearly ready to go into SHIELD HQ to get the stupid report done and dusted. Just need to finish my hair. I ask JARVIS to tell Happy I'm nearly ready to go and to get the car around.

I walk down into the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee to go when I see Sam and Bucky standing laughing at something.

"What you laughing at?" I ask as I pour the coffee into my to-go cup.

"Just come here and just watch this right?" Same says as he points towards Clint and Nat sitting on the couch.

"Any minute now" Bucky adds while trying his best to hold in his laughter.

Just as Bucky finished speaking a box that had been sitting on the table I front of the two had sprung open, it was filled with pink glitter and silly string which had now covered poor Nat and Clint.

"They are going to kill you" I say as I walk over to the lift waiting for it to open. As the doors close I can hear Nat shouting at Bucky and Sam and to be honest, it was pretty funny to watch.

~~~~~~

"Hey" I say while I knock on the window of Grants door that's lying wide open.

"Come in" he says as he pulls out a seat for me to sit in.

"So um, the report?" I ask, hopefully he has most of it filled in.

"Yes, here, I've filled in most of it, just need you do to your part and then send it up to Fury, he wants to look at it or something before it goes onto SHIELD records." He informs as he sits back down comfortable in his chair.

"That's odd" i state looking at the pages in front of me, I can feel my eyebrows knitting together.

"Yeah, well, what can you do?" He jokes, trying to lighten the mood. "How's your ribs by the way, looks like your face is all back to normal." He says, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, ribs sore, but eye not swollen just a bit bruised along with some cuts here and there but hey, it's nothing a little makeup can't fix." I laugh

"Anyways I better get going, thanks for doing most of this by the looks of things," I say while I quickly flick through the pages.

"It's no problem, just remember to hand it up to the big guy first yeah?" He states as I make my way out of his office

"I won't" I reply as I close the door behind me.

I'm sitting trying to fill in this report but my head just isn't in it. I really just can't think straight and I'm not sure why so I decide to get up and walk away from it, come back in 10 and try again. As i'm walking around I notice nobody seems to be here. Where is everyone? And then I remember, they all decided to go and have a weird group training session which Tony told me I wasn't allowed to go because I would only want to join in and because of my ribs, I'm not allowed. I look over to the couch in the living room and I see Peter sitting doing homework I guess.

"Hey!" I say as I sit down besides him

"Hi" he says in a sad voice.

"Whatcha doing?" I ask, try and cheer him up a bit I guess

"Stupid homework" he says, he's starting to annoyed at it and I'm not sure why.

"What's wrong?" I ask, as I sit back on the couch preparing myself for a rant about a maths questions or something.

"Liz, she cheated on me, with Flash and I just found out an hour ago and now, now I can't stop thinking about her and when I do all I can think about is her with him and this stupid maths question I can't get because my head is all over the place!" He rants on and then he finally looks at me, his eyes are red and puffy, like he had been crying. I sit forward in my chair and look at him with a half smile, advise, advise what advice can I give? I think to myself.

"Okay, first we are going to just set this here" I say as I lift the books and set them on the table in front. "Then we are going to grab some ice cream, and watch the notebook, you're going to cry it out, then your going to go and get on you something really nice, and we are going to go out. You need to show her you can do way better, okay?"

I ask Jarvis to put on the notebook while I search for some ice cream in the freezer, to my luck there is two tubs left, one cookie dough and one caramel chew chew. These will do perfectly. I say as I lift two spoons and lift some blanket and throw them over to Peter. We sit and watch the notebook and finish our ice creams, it's the last half hour of the notebook and I look over to see Peter fast asleep on the couch, I turn off the tv and notice his homework isn't completed so I quickly fill it in, it's nothing too hard just some math question. After all I do have degree in that area so this is basic for me. I leave a stick note on top saying "homework all done, now go show her you can do better :)"
