Afterglow- Steve Rogers

Part 14

My eyes fluttered open and I let out a groan lifting my head up from Steve's chest. Steve tightened his grip on my waist holding me down.

"Steve we should get up now" I murmured.

"No" Steve replied in a groan.

"It's nearly 10am" I replied with a light chuckle.

Steve rolled over onto his side holding me against his chest so I couldn't see the clock.

"Oh is that so because you can't see the clock" Steve said.

He had a smile spread across his face as he kept his eyes closed, Steve's blonde hair messy and sticking up.

"You are such a baby" I chuckled.

I ran my hands through his hair and Steve sighed in content, his eyes fluttered open to reveal his blue eyes.

"There we go" I said pecking him on the nose.

"Do we have to get up?" Steve complained.

"Yes Steve, for the past few weeks we have hardly made it out of bed" I joked.

"Yeah but majority of those times were due to much more fun activities" Steve smirked.

I rolled my eyes and Steve laughed.

"C'mon not every time" I said.

Steve scrunched his nose, his eyes squinting.

"Are you sure" Steve questioned.

I laughed and shook my head burying my head in Steve's chest.

"God I love you" Steve sighed.

"I love you too" I replied my voice muffled by his chest.

"But seriously we need to get up" I laughed.

Steve let out a breath and loosened his arms around me flopping onto his back, letting me out of his grip. I sat up and bent down placing a kiss on Steve's lips. He smiled into the kiss and cupped my cheeks holding me down for a longer kiss. I laughed and pulled away.

"C'mon soldier" I teased.

I stood up and extended my hands out to Steve for him to take. Steve sighed and grabbed my hands standing up.

"I'll go make some breakfast because you suck at cooking" I teased.

"Hey I make pretty good cereal" Steve retorted.

He flashed me a cheshire cat smile as he pulled his grey trackpants over his boxers.

I headed into the kitchen grabbing ingredients from the cupboard.

"What are you making love?" Steve asked.

He came behind me wrapping his arms around me and placing soft kisses on my neck. I let out a sigh of content, loving the domestic feeling between the two of them.

"Pancakes" I answered.

Steve smiled and hummed in agreement, nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck.

"Steve you'll need to let me go so I can cook" I laughed.

Steve rolled his eyes and pulled away placing one last kiss on my shoulder before walking over to stand on the other side of the bench.

"I still need to give you your suprise" Steve said.

"Oh I know, I'm very curious as to what it is" I said placing the ingredients on the countertop.

"You'll see doll" He said.

"Taking a page from Bucky's book" I teased.

Steve laughed and shook his head. He sat down on a stool and folded his arms across the granite countertop. His biceps flexing causing the sleeve of his shirt to stretch.

I quickly made up some pancakes for Steve and I. It was one of Steve's favorites and after five years it still is. It was something he didn't get any of in the 40s.

Steve let out a slight moan as he took the first bite.

"Taste good huh" I asked with a chuckle.

"Oh god yeah, though I could think of something which tastes better" He said a smirk plastered on his face.

I bit my lip holding back a smile.

"Just eat the pancakes captain" I chuckled.

"Ah I see, I'll have my proper meal later" Steve teased.

I playfully slapped him on the chest as Steve laughed at my flustered state.

"Ah someone's blushing" Steve said.

"Hush Rogers or no 'desert' for you" I said.

Steve bit his lip and stayed silent causing me to smirk in satisfaction. Once we were finished Steve cleaned up the dishes and lead me into the living room.

"Seriously Steve what do you want to suprise me with" I laughed.

"Hold on" Steve chuckled.

We both sat down on the couch and Steve pulled something out of his pocket. It was a folded up piece of paper. I furrowed my eyebrows as Steve handed me the paper.

"Here, open it up" He said nudging my side.

I nodded and looked down at the white paper before unfolding it. I opened it to see a house design.

"I- what is this?" I said in shock looking down at the paper.

"It's our house" Steve said.

I laughed and dropped the paper tackling Steve into a hug. He laughed and fell back onto the couch, me landing ontop of him. I buried my head into Steve's neck as his arms wrapped around my waist holding me ontop of him.

"We'll finally get a house, settle down a place just for us" Steve said.

"Sounds perfect" I replied placing kisses on his neck, the smell of his cologne filling my nose.

"I love this apartment but we'll be needing a bigger place" Steve said.

I lifted my head up resting my chin on his chest.

"Our kids will be pretty awesome" I said with a smile.

"And making them will be even more enjoyable" Steve smirked.

I laughed and leant forward capturing Steve's lips in a kiss.

"God I love you" He sighed in content.

"I love you too" I replied.
