Me, Steve and Natasha were all in disguises

Me, Steve and Natasha were all in disguises. We all dressed casually. Me and Natasha had hoodies on, while Steve wore glasses and a cap. We were in the mall currently

"First rule of going on the run is don't run, walk" Natasha said

"If I run in these shoes, they're gonna fall off" Steve said

"That's why I hate that brand of shoes" I told him

"You make your own shoes" He told me

"And they're my favorites" I told him with smile. We went into a tech store

"The drive has a Level Six homing program, so as soon as we boot up S.H.I.E.L.D. will know exactly where we are" Natasha said

"How much time will we have?" Steve asked

"About nine minutes from now" Natasha said just as she inserted the flash drive. Natasha was going through the files while I stood beside Steve and subtly looked around

"Fury was right about that ship. Somebody's trying to hide something. This drive is protected by some sort of AI. It keeps rewriting itself to counter my commands" Natasha said

"Can you override it?" Steve asked as he looked at the computer

"The person who developed this is slightly smarter than me. Slightly" Natasha clarified. I was starting to get antsy. Natasha wouldn't let me touch anything. I began playing with a ring I had put in my bag

"I'm gonna try running a tracer. This is a program that S.H.I.E.L.D. developed to track hostile malware, so if we can't read the file, maybe we can find out where it came from" Natasha said

"Can I help you guys with anything?" A man asked. We all turned

"No, we're fine. My friend here was helping me and my fiance pick out some honeymoon destinations. We're both just so indecisive. I thought we could use an extra opinion" I said before showing the diamond ring on my hand

"Right. We're getting married" Steve said with a smile. God, I wish we were

"Congratulations. Where are you guys thinking about going?" The man asked

"Well, Eliza was saying France would be stunning, but she's also saying that Italy is gorgeous as well" I told him as Steve blocked Natasha's computer so the man couldn't see. He looked at Steve like he recognized him. Steve was getting worried

"I have the exact same glasses" The man said

"Wow, you two are practically twins" Natasha said

"Yeah, I wish. Specimen. If you guys need anything, I've been Aaron. Thank you" Aaron said before walking away

"No, thank you" I said with a smile as I intertwined my hand with Steve's

"Oh, she's good" Natasha said

"Thank you" I told her

"I mean, the ring, too. You sure are quick" Natasha said

"Well I bought this ring so I could pretend that Steve gave it to me" I told her which made her laugh. Steve looked at me weirded out

"I'm kidding, I'd prefer it come out of your bank account. No, it's my Grandmother's wedding ring. It's like a good luck charm, since you know she's dead and it's all I have left of her" I said. Neither knew how to respond

"Guys it's okay, it happened like 10 years ago" I told them as Steve checked his watch

"You said nine minutes. Come on" Steve said as he began to freak out

"Relax. Take a page out of Y/n's book. Got it" Natasha said. It was Wheaton, New Jersey. Steve looked at confused as if he's been there

"You know it?" Natasha asked

"I used to. Let's go" Steve said as he took out the flash drive. The three of us walked out. We were still holding hands, and I was loving every second of it

"Standard Tac team. Two behind, two across, and two coming straight at us. If they make us, I'll engage, you both hit the south escalator to the metro" Steve said. Natasha took out her phone

"Shut up and put your arm around Y/n. Laugh at something she said" Natasha commanded as she pretended to be stuck in her phone as she looked to the ground

"What?" Steve asked

"Do it" She said. Steve removed his hand from my own and wrapped his arm around his shoulder. He began to laugh as I smiled. Once they were past us, Steve immediately turned around to look but they didn't care about us. We continued on our path and went down the escalator. That's when Natasha noticed one of the bad guys. She nudged my shoulder and I saw what she saw. She pulled out her phone as she had her back towards the man. I looked at Steve and wrapped my arms around his neck. I put our heads together

"Bad guy, your 11 o'clock, I have an idea, but I need your consent" I whispered. He looked in the direction I told him and then looked back at me

"My consent?" He asked

"I'm not gonna just kiss you without consent. I'm civilized" I whispered to him

"You're gonna kiss me?!" He whispered yelled

"PDA makes people uncomfortable. They'll look away and we'll be scotch free. Hurry, Nat's gonna get found out at this rate" I whispered to him

"Alright, fine. I consent" He said. I closed the distance between us as Rumlow went up the escalator. He looked away from our PDA. Let me tell you this kiss was everything I imagine it was. It was perfect. The feeling of his lips on my own made me want to die of happiness. I mean, I know he was only doing it because we were trying to keep a low profile, but I didn't care. Sparks flew, and I was satisfied especially when his hand moved to my waist. Had me internally screaming and shit. Once he was out of sight we broke apart

"I got it on camera" Natasha said with a grin

"Send that to me" I told her as we walked down the escalator

"How about you don't" Steve said

"Okay, fine you can delete it" I told her

"You're gonna give in that fast?" Natasha asked

"Listen, baby steps. I've gotten to hold hands, have his arm around me and we kissed. I can't be too selfish" I told her

"You're atrociously down bad" Natasha said

"I am" I told her

"You know, I'm right here" Steve said

"Please pick me, man. I'll do anything" I begged
