I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak
I can't speak
-Heartbeat, Childish GambinoJanuary 28th 2013
Washington Monument, Washington D.CMy peaceful slumber is interrupted by the harsh beeping of an alarm. I open my eyes and squint as I look over to Steve lying next to me, who hurriedly turns the alarm off. A low, unattractive groan leaves my throat and I roll over, cuddling up at his side.
"Sorry." he says in a low, raspy voice, "I forgot to cancel that."
"What time is it?" I ask as he slides out of bed. The covers slip off his bare chest, revealing his very defined abs, as he runs his hand through his bedhead hair.
"Four." he tells me, as he wanders over to his drawers.
"Jesus, who's even awake at this hour?"
"You were when you were at your dad's." he chuckles, rifling through the drawer.
I grimace, "Fair." I push myself up onto my elbows so I can see him better, "Why are you up?"
"Going for a run,", he tells me, before joking, "wanna come?"
I think for a moment, "Sure."
"Oh, I didn't mean it." he chuckles moving to stand in front of me.
"What don't think I can keep up with you?" I ask with a smirk, my hands snaking around his waist.
"Oh, I know you can't," he smirks, picking me up and kissing me, my legs wrapped around him.
"Well, I think of the two of us, I have the better stamina." His face turns an unnatural shade of red and I giggle, "I'm gonna take you down, Steve Rogers." So, half an hour later, we find out that I, in fact, cannot keep up with him, "You know you can speed up." I tell him.
