Addicted to you // Steve Rogers

Chapter 36

"Do you hear that?" Clint asks as we hear way too much noise coming from outside "It's Steve" I say with a smirk "Cap never leaves anyone behind" Sam says "Sorry i couldn't get here sooner" Steve says as the cells open "We will try not to hold it against you" I say pulling him into a hug and following him out "You know i can't stay right" Steve says and i nod "And you understand that i can't go right?" I say and he nods 

"Like i said before, this isn't the end of us" Steve says and i smile "No way" I reply pulling him into a kiss "I'll find you again one day" Steve says and rests his forehead against mine "I know you will" I say with a smile kissing him again "I love you" I whisper "I love you too" He replies before letting me go "Try to stay out of trouble will you" I say to them before hugging my brother "And you, try not to get framed for any more terrorist attacks" I joke "I hope to see you soon" Bucky says and i nod 

"T-Challa, it's been fun fighting with you. Your highness" I say seriously "It was a pleasure Penelope" T-Challa says and i bow my head slightly "Stay out of trouble" I say with a wink "I'm off to give my father a nice surprise" I say before flying away 

I fly to the compound to see my sister pacing back and forth "Miss me?" I ask "Oh my god" She says pulling me into a hug "You're almost in pieces" She says and i laugh "I'm okay" I say "Where's my father?" I ask "He's in a room with Rhodes" Victoria says and i nod

I walk away and find the room and lean against the doorframe "Yes, this is--this is Tony "Stank". You're in the right place. Thank you for that! I'm never dropping that, by the way. Table for one, Mr. "Stank". Please, by the bathroom." I hear Rhodes mock my father, I look down inspecting the tech on his legs probably created by my father "Stank, i think that sounds about right" I joke, they turn to look at me "You're out" My father says and i smirk "You didn't think I would be stuck in there forever did you dad? Besides, I'm a Stark after all" I say walking over to him

"Good to see you on your um tech legs" I say to Rhodes who rolls his eyes but laughs "It's good to see you too" Rhodes say with a smile "I knew he would've got you out" My father says "You also knew i wouldn't go without the rest being taken out with me" I say and my father nods "Which is why i left it up to him, thought you needed to say goodbye" My father says and i shrug "I thought you were going with him" My father says "You can't get rid of me that easily father" I say and he pulls me into a hug

"Are you okay?" He asks and i nod "What can i do?" I ask "I know how much he means to you, now you may never see him again" my father says and i shake my head "I'll see him one day" I say with a smile "I know it, but for now we have a couple of things that need to be done" I say and he frowns "Victoria needs some updating so i can help with teaching her how to be an adult and you" I say and my father rolls his eyes 

"Get your head out of your ass and fix things with Pepper, you know you called her my mother once" I say "Our first battle together you told me to go home to my mother, that's exactly who she was for years when you had to constantly work. She was like the mother i never had, and she is the only woman who will ever tolerate you" I joke "So fix it" I say walking away "She is right" Rhodes says and i nod 

I head to my room and have a long shower remembering all the moments i have had with Steve in this room, moments i maybe took for granted, moments i will most likely never have again. I get dressed and walk into his room seeing all the clothes he has left behind. I grab one of his shirts and sit down with it "I thought i would find you here" My father says walking in "This came in the mail after you left, it's a letter" He says handing it to me "You know it's from Steve, he sent me one too" My father says and i nod

Dear Nellie,

I know we didn't have as much time as i wish we did, I'm starting to regret that one month we had spent apart. Every moment we spent together made me happier than i have ever been before. You made me feel alive and for the first time since Peggy, i felt genuinely happy and genuinely loved. You mean more to me than you could ever imagine. I promised we would see each other again and i am going to keep that promise to you because nothing in this world will ever be able to keep me away from you.

I know you're probably wondering about Bucky. We took him to Wakanda to be put back to sleep, he didn't trust being awake not after what happened in Vienna. He wanted to thank you for being the only person other than me to really trust him, you were his real family too and you have no idea how happy he was to have you by his side through this last battle. 

I will be gone for a while but this will not be the end. I love you.

- Steve Rogers

I fold the letter back up and cry into his t-shirt taking in his scent. I know he's right and this won't be the end of it.
