Before We Go

"Tony, what are you doing here?" Steve's voice came from behind as I waited for the cream I skimmed off from the top of the milk to drop in the container.

"Skimming off the cream, which really doesn't follow the rule of gravitation." I cursed as the cream drops in slow motion.

"Rule of what?" Steve asked confused, standing beside me.

"Umm... Nothing. This is really annoying." I clink the spoon on the container making the last bit of cream to drop, vigorously.

"Then, why are you doing it?" Steve took the spoon from my hand as he swiftly skim off the cream.

"Because I'm bored." I cried admiring his work, more often admiring his red cheeks. "And I crave bread butter."

"Then, ask someone else." Steve suggested as he put away the milk and started whipping the cream.

"I'm so done with people doing things for me, Steve. I'm effing bored." I groaned, not taking my eyes off his stiff posture whipping the cream with a stern look on his face. And I could tell for sure my eyes dilated at speed of 0.05cm²/s (oh, too cheesy).

"Effing?" I waved my hands off to let him know that it's nothing.
"Would you like to go somewhere?" He turned to me with sly smile on his face, the same smile I saw on his face when I came out alive from the wormhole.

"Yeah, Paris." I snorted.

"It's Persia." He replied in a proud tone as he scooped bit of the butter on his finger for me to taste.

"Ain't gonna argue with that." I licked it all off making a moan, delightfully.

"My Queen, I assure you, no one will lay a eye on you behind my back. All my rightous men will be here to protect you." Steve said softly to Elthia, the first Queen, his first wife. I stood afar by the carriages with Sam and other, who are adjoining us on the trip.

"What about your safety?" She asked in her squeaky tone. She has done, no wrong to me. But something about her irritates me like when she talks it feels like she is taunting me. Like she is the superior and I'm nothing before her. Whenever, she's talking to me, I try to resist the urge to call her bitch under my breath. She is one of the reasons I don't wanna stay in this place. Lately, I feel like she's been spying on me and I can't work at all because of that. It's stressing enough that Steve is with me almost all the time and the only time I get to make some progress I feel insecure. A new place would give a lot of space and time.

"Don't worry much, I'll take care of myself. Why don't you go meet your family, while I'm gone? It's been long."

"It's alright My Highness, I'll stay put. Someone has to be here too." A wide smile spread on her cheeks, not at all adorable.

"As you wish." Sometimes, I forget Steve is married with 3 different people. Yupp, people. 2 women and a man. One of the queen lives in palace by a village close to her family. From what I heard, she is polite and really sweet. She works with homeopathy doctors, she is gifted kind. She once healed Steve's deep wound in the village where they first met. Steve fell in love with her and married her. I know too cliché. Her name is Merida Finn.

Last but not least is James Buchanan Barnes. I'm thrilled to know that they actually stepped out of their friend zone and cut off the sexual tension between them, at least in one time zone. Bucky proposed Steve when Steve was engaged to Elthia Heard. Bucky was the lieutenant of the army, so there was problem with them getting together. But after Steve's father died and Steve was the king, Steve embrace the love of his life. His soulmate. After a long time he met Merida Finn, it was an impulsive decision.
