Finally you came into my life 🤍

Chapter 9 ~ Opening my heart to you

Reader's p.o.v.

When I opened my eyes it took me few minutes to realise where I was.
Then I widen my eyes and got up. I looked at my side and I saw Steve sleeping peacefully and I couldn't wake him up.

I slowly started getting ready, being as quiet as possible.
"Y/n?" He said with his deep morning voice.
Oh God! He was so beautiful with his messy hair.
"Hey, Steve. I didn't want to wake you up, but I have to go to the lab."
"Come here." I approached him and he gave me a long sweet kiss.
"I still can't believe it." I whispered.
"Believe it, sweetheart. You're mine and I'm yours, but I gotta say that I couldn't believe it when you told me I am your first kiss." I looked at him confused.
"Why's that?"
"Well, you're beautiful and I bet that you break hearts." He smirked, but I looked down. "Hey, hey. What is it?"
"Nothing, I... uh... I need to go, but I'll see you in lunch, ok?" I kissed him quickly and left before he tells me anything.

Going to my lab I tried to push away any thoughts from the past.
Immediately I smiled, because Steve returned his feelings and no other man can be compared to him.

When I entered the lab, Bruce saw me and smiled.
"Hey kiddo. Where have you been? You were supposed to look after Steve, but then you disappeared." I gulped.
"Yeah, uh... I went to my room after because I wasn't feeling so well."
Oh crap! I can't lie to Bruce, but I didn't have other choice.
"I hope you're better today." I nodded and started work.

After few hours Steve came in with a big smile on his face, but I widen my eyes.
"Hey, Cap." Bruce said. "What are you doing here?" He looked at me and I shook my head. Probably he understood because he nodded and turned to Bruce.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see you guys."
I took a breath.
"Well me and Stark working on a project, while y/n tries to match some fingerprints." Bruce told him and Steve looked at me.
"It's pretty interesting actually." I said with a smile and he smiled back.
"Ok, I'll go training with Nat and then guys I'll see you in lunch."

After the lab, I had to go to SHIELD for a report that Director Fury wanted, but before I leave, I was looking for Steve.
"Y/n?" I smiled at his voice and I turned my head.
"Steve?" I quickly hugged him.
"I suppose you didn't tell Bruce." I bit my lip.
"Well, he started bombing me with questions and I got panicked." He chuckled.
"You know what? Let's organize a nice dinner and tell everyone." He suggested and I agreed.
"Steve?" Thor said and automatically I took a few steps away from him.
"Uh... hey Thor."
"Lady y/n? How are you today?" I smiled at him.
"I'm great Thor, I was just leaving. Fury needs some reports." I said and I left the two men alone.

To tell the truth I was a bit nervous for telling everyone that me and Steve are a couple.
Me and Steve are a couple!
That sounded nice.
Then Wanda and Nat called me and I jumped a little.
"Hey, it's us." Wanda said with a laugh.
"Hey girls."
"Where are you going? We haven't see you since yesterday morning." Nat said.
"Uh... yeah, I uh... I went to Steve to take care of his wound and then I went to my room." I said, feeling bad for lying to then.
"Oh, that's fine. And now? Where are you going?" Wanda asked me.
"I can't stay for lunch. I have to go to Fury.  But tonight let's go for a drink." They smiled at me.

Steve's p.o.v.

After me and Thor finished with eating, I decided to go for a walk out in the gardens. It was so peaceful today and my heart was as light as a feather.
I couldn't stop thinking about her and her kisses.
I smiled at the memory of yesterday.

"Steve?" Bucky called me.
"Hey Buck. Where have you been?" He smirked.
"With Nat. We trained a bit and we just finished lunch. You? You seem, relaxed."
Bucky is my best friend and I know we said with y/n that we'll tell everyone, but I couldn't hide it from him.
"Bucky, I need to tell you something, but promise me that you'll react calmly." He looked at me confused.
"What is it?"
"Yesterday me and y/n expressed our feelings to each other." Then I smiled and Bucky smirked.
"You mean? She returned her feelings?"
"Yes, Bucky." I told him exactly what happened and Bucky smiled widely.
"Oh gosh, man! This is incredible! I'm so happy for you guys." He hugged me. "Finally!" He laughed. "So the others don't know yet?" I shook my head.
"So please when we announce it, play along. Like you don't know it." He nodded.
"Absolutely. I won't even tell it to Nat."
"Well, she's her best friend so I think she'll find it sooner as well." I chuckled.
"How are feeling?"
"I'm in love with her, Buck. She's different and pure, but smart and gives me butterflies." He smiled.
"I know the feeling."
"I want this to work out. We're apart for an hour and I already feel like something is missing."
"Oh, don't be so cheezy. Come on, Sam suggested to go with Tony, Clint and Thor for a drink."
