**STEVE POV**

As I step inside the shower cubicle, I swiftly close the door behind me as I take in the sight of y/n's beauty. I tower over y/n, leaning over kissing their bare shoulder. Pressing my chest up against her back as y/n cleanses their body of the chaos vibrating inside her. Watching them close their eyes as they feel the hot water relax them whole. Feeling the hot steam calm that inner chaos as I wrap my arms tighter around y/n resting my hands on her stomach and my chin on her juncture of their neck and shoulder.

As y/n brings her arms up her body she rests them on my arms wrapped around her, standing a moment both in silence she slowly begins to turn her body. Coming to face me she gently places her palms on my chest, bringing them up until they're wrapped firmly around my neck.

"...y/n." I barley whisper as she pushes up on her tiptoes, leaning in slowly until our lips meet. Quickly the kiss deepens, y/n kissing me passionately as my hands grip her waist tight. Without breaking the kiss I feel y/n's arms loosen from around my neck, tenderly her fingertips slide down my body until they're just above my length. Parting her lips she goes to speak. "Let me take care of you Captain." She moans, her right hand travelling further down. Gently she palms me whole, my breath hitching at her touch. Squeezing gently I can't help but groan into her lips, a smirk forming on them as she begins to wrap her hand around me.

Caught up in the moment I'm desperate for this to continue but I can't. This isn't about me, it's about her. With all the will in the world I pull back, taking her hand from me moving it away. Wincing at the loss of contact she pouts to me confused as to why I made her stop. "Sweetheart I've already told you now, more than once... This isn't about me, it's about you."

Sighing in annoyance she shakes her head knowing I'm right, "Fine... take care of me then." Biting down on her lip she leans in close once more, planting sloppy kisses all up my chest, as the water hits her back.  "No come on sweetheart, it's time to get you cleaned up." I retort taking her wrists holding them in my hands, breaking her kisses she comes to look me in the eyes, staring deep into my soul.

"Just one more." She whispers leaning into my ear, biting gently on my earlobe. Taking a breath I close my eyes a moment, trying to compose myself, resisting the urge to take her right now in this shower. "No... you're just being greedy now princess." I laugh taking her body turning it around to face away from me. Accepting defeat she steps fully into the water again, she tilts her head back soaking it all in. Reaching across to the shelves I take the shampoo bottle, squeezing the correct amount into my hands, I bring them up to her head. Slowly I begin to massage it gently into her scalp, humming in response y/n allows me to continue holding herself tight taking in this moment.

As I continue to rinse the shampoo from y/n's hair, I can't help but wonder what's going through her mind. During the last 48 hours she'd literally been to hell and back. Being told the serum didn't work, I can't even imagine what she must be going through.

**Y/N POV**

As Steve continues to rinse the shampoo from my hair I can't help but feel warm inside, the care and respect he was showing me was just overwhelming. Closing my eyes I continue to take in this moment, trying to remain content never wanting this moment to end. Taking a few deep breaths I can feel myself beginning to be overwhelmed with the emotions of the last 48 hours.

"Y/n?" I hear Steve whisper as he keeps a hold of my hair kissing softly on my shoulder. Taking a minute I clear my throat, pressing my eyes shut tight worried that at any moment I'm going to finally crack.

"Yeah?" I reply softly, turning my head slightly to see him in the corner of my eye before looking straight ahead again.

"Talk to me..."
