Helios (Steve Rogers x Male!OC x Darkling)

V

When you got to your room, you just wanted to draw a bath and fall asleep there. Possible drown, even. You sighed heavily as you sat down on the bed, having gotten the anger out of your system. 

"Fuck," You said to yourself, "I slapped Captain America." You said. You expected to laugh but you didn't, more like couldn't. It was still a bad situation as it was and you had probably made it worse. Why in God's name did Captain fucking America want to marry you? Even you wouldn't want to marry you. 

You groaned as you laid down and pulled your phone out of your pocket. There was a missed call. Phil. You turned off the silent mode and got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. Might as well take a shower and calm down first, you told yourself. You took a shower and put on a pair of boxers and a t-shirt before sitting on the chair and opening your laptop. You Facetimed Phil and he accepted the call after a few rings.

"Hey," You smiled seeing his familiar face. It made your mood a thousand times better instantly to see him get up and fix the two hair strands on his balding head with his fingers. "Were you sleeping?" You asked.

"No, was just watching some TV." He said and you saw the unfamiliar room behind him as he sat up.

"Where are you?" 

"Can't tell," Phil said with a smile. It was common, he wasn't allowed to tell his location if he was on SHIELD missions. Technically, he wasn't supposed to call anybody either let alone video call someone. But it was just the way it was, he always called you no matter what. "What's up?"

It was then you realized that you hadn't exactly thought over the whole 'Steve Rogers' situation but it was clear that you couldn't worry Phil with it right now, especially if he was out working. "Besides being abandoned by my dad and sent off to live with boring old people?" You joked.

"I'm boring old people," Phil grinned, making you chuckle. "But seriously, how is everyone?" The last you had talked to him was just after the introduction with the team. 

"I played video games with Thor and Hawkeye last night," You said. 

"Did you beat them?" He asked.

"Totally." You said and both of you laughed. God, this felt great. You really wish you were just back home and hadn't ever had to come here. The laughter soon died out and you only had to look at each other to know what you were thinking. I miss us. 

"Did you eat?" He asked, breaking the silence and you nodded. Just then, there was a knock from Phil's side and he looked up. "Alright, I'll talk to you later." he said as he stood up.

"Don't die," you said.

"Don't kill me," He replied as was customary with you two before he cut the call.

***

You took a deep breath and knocked on the door. You closed your eyes and focused on your breaths before you heard some commotion through the door and you opened your eyes. Phil wasn't here to look after you, to clean up after you. You had to deal with this on your own. You couldn't be the wreckless, pampered teenager anymore. Finally, the door opened.

Steve was surprised when he saw you there and it had shown on his face before he stood up straighter and crossed his arms across his chest. He raised a brow like he mostly did with you, in that bemused expression. "Come to apologize?" He asked and his voice sounded deeper than usual.

You furrowed your brows as you looked up at him, "What for?"

Steve only looked at with slight interest before he replied, "You slapped me."
