Summary: It's Steve's 99th Birthday, so you give him 99 reasons why you love him.

_______________

You were awake really early today. You were just too excited. It was your husband, Steve's 99th birthday. Big wow! For the first 5 minutes after you woke up, you just watched the super soldier sleep. His face was neutral, but you could tell how content he was. You heart swelled knowing that you were the cause.

You cautiously kissed him on the forehead and slipped out of bed walking towards your dresser. You opened the top drawer and dug underneath your clothes to find the little cards. This was your birthday present to Steve.

You crept quietly to the edge of the bed and laid out the first 10 then brought the rest with you. You went to the kitchen and set 10 more onto the counter island, then began to gather the things you needed to make breakfast.

_______________

Steve began to stir awake. He felt around the bed for you and was met with nothing. His brows furrowed in confusion as he slowly opened his eyes to find that you were not there. He rubbed the sleep away from his eyes and sat up. He stretched his arms above his head and gave a groan. Then his eyes settled on to pieces of paper that were laid atop the foot of the bed.

1. I love you for the way you make me feel when I am with you

Said the next ones. Steve smiled and gathered up the cards. He got up and put on some sweats and made his way to the kitchen.

His eyes fell on you. You were wearing his shirt and swayed to the soft sound of Glenn Miller on the record player. You turned around, plate of bacon in hand and smiled up at Steve, "Mornin' birthday boy."

He walked to the counter to see 10 more cards laid out:

11. I love it when we stay up all night talking serious and not remembering what we talked about the next day.

12. I love how your body feels next to mine

13. I love knowing that if I died tomorrow, that I found my soulmate before I did

Steve smiled and caught your eye, "You're amazing, you know that?"
