'Hey Cap, we're going upstairs to train, you comin' man?'

Sams voice teared me away from her eyes, forcing me to have him to repeat his question again. I glanced back at (Y/N) and then told my friends to go along without me. I have the urge to speak to her. I was still shocked about Tonys and Peppers announcements. We were going to have a child in the compound. In half a year. It has been some time since I interacted with a kid.

I take my phone from my back pocket and text (Y/N) to meet me at Tonys private floor in 10 minutes. After that I stood up and stepped into the lift, leaving the others behind.

———

'What's up Steve? I was about to leave with Wanda and Nat to get a present for Tony and Pepper. And bean, I almost forgot.'

(Y/N) stood there, leaning at the entrance, glancing towards me as I punched the punching dummy in front of me. She pushed herself off the wall and walked towards the boxing ring, waiting for me to speak up. Only the mention of the little bean made me anxious. I sighed and stopped punching the bag, turning towards her I was about to tell her about my insecurities. But then stopped. Would she even understand?

'Steve? Will this take long? I kinda had something planned ... '

'I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you down here. You can leave.'

(Y/N) climbed the railing and stepped into the ring with me. She walked towards me with a small smile and placed her hands on either side of my face. Looking me straight in the eyes, she sighed.

'Please talk to me, Steve. I know we aren't exactly friends, hell I don't even know if we are anything at all but you can talk to me. So talk.'

I smiled at her now, appreciating her just for ... her. And then I just opened up to her.

'(Y/N) I don't know if I'm going to be okay with a kid in the compound. I haven't interacted with a kid, or god forbid a baby, since the 1940's. I'm scared. I'm scared I'll hurt her.'

'Steve everything will be fine. I see how you are around Parker. You will be perfectly fine. Wait, her?'

'Thank you,(Y/N). And I just have a feeling. As soon as Pepper told us, I had the image of a little girl in my head.'

'It would certainly fit their name option.'

'You know the name?'

'Shit.'

I took some steps towards her as she took some back, soon hitting the railing again.

'Come on (Y/N), don't be shy, tell me more.'

She looked a little taken aback, realizing what I said.

'Did you just quote a fucking TikTok, Steve?'

'Yes. Bucky and Nat showed me.'

'Bucky AND Nat, as in both of them in one room? They hate each other.'

'Yes. If you tell me your secret I'll tell you mine, Sweetheart.'

She now stepped closer to me with a glint in her eyes. She gazed from my eyes to my lips and back, coming nearer as she kept going back and forth between my eyes and mouth.

'Deal. But you- ', she stopped to give me the tiniest kiss on the corner of my lips, 'tell first.'

I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling as long as it lasted and then leaned in more but her lips were gone. Eyes looking up to me with anticipation. I took a deep breath to calm my growing libido.

'Fine. Bucky and Nat are doing the same as we are doing.'

'And what exactly are we doing, Steve?'

I smiled down at her, deciding to tease her a little I place my hand an her waist and let it slide towards the small of her back.

'They are fucking like rabbits.'

'No fucking way!', she breathed out as she closed her eyes to savor the touch I was offering her.

'Yes fucking way. They have been, in fact, longer than us. Well we did just have sex once but still. The tension was there.'

Slowly she opened her eyes again, victory in them this time. Now she smirked as I slowly realized what I had told her. Shit, she has been tricking me the whole time.  I started to panic.

'(Y/N). (Y/N), I swear if Nat finds out I told you she's going to cut off my chair leg. Don't look at me like that, her words, not mine.'

Her smirk turned into a full blown smile now and if I didn't fear my life right now I would have found it fucking adorable. But Natasha was going to kill me if she finds out I snitched.

'Don't worry, Stevie. I won't tell her. I'll just have to catch them in action so I can continue stumbling over your chair leg then.'

With a wink she turns around, leaves me standing with a hard on in the boxing ring and exits Tonys private gym.
