Until the End: a Steve Rogers Story

"Alright sister. Behave. Be nice to your husband. Be a good queen." Natasha said. She hugged me tight.

"I will." I said. I turned to Yelena and hugged her tight.

"Thank you for the cloak." I told her.

"You're welcome." She said.

"Alright Everly. You ready?" Steve asked as he came over.

I nodded softly, holding in my tears.

"Don't cry sister. We will visit during Christmastime. And the coronation." Natasha said. I nodded.

"Okay. I love you both." I said. They smiled. I turned to Steve. He helped me into the carriage.

Steve hugged Natasha. James hugged her as well, giving her a quick kiss on the hand. The boys got into the carriage, sitting next to each other.

I looked out the window of the carriage.

I didn't wanna leave Washington D.C. But I knew this was the best option.

About two hours in, and I felt Steve's stare on me. I looked at him.

I felt like it had been awkward since I lost my virginity to him. We hadn't talked much. Maybe he was waiting to go back to his kingdom?

"So how was your time with Nat, Buck?" Steve asked. I looked back out the window.

"Umm it was good, great." He said.

"Good intercourse?" Steven asked.

"Steven!" I said, hiding a smirk.

"Oh she does speak." Steve said. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm just tired." I said.

"So sleep."

"I will when we get to Brooklyn. Tomorrow is a big day." I whispered.

"Coronation isn't too bad." He said.

I nodded.

I finished putting all of my clothes away. Steve came into the bedroom.

"Come to supper." He said.

I nodded. I left the room with him.

We walked down the hall. It was quiet.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes. Just tired." I whispered.

"You're not. Something is wrong. I can tell." He said.

I took his arm as we walked. He moved to hold my hand.

He stopped us in our tracks. "Everly."

"What?" I snapped.

"Okay." He said. "Let's have supper together, we will talk."

"That's embarrassing." I said.

"What's gotten into you. You act like I'm your worst enemy." He said.

"I'm just tired and annoyed." I said.

"Annoyed by what?" He snapped.

"By the fact that I'm not home and I'm homesick! The fact that I don't have my sisters to run to and I'm married very quickly. And I have a coronation tomorrow and I need to try and get pregnant and I'm still sore from having intercourse and I'm just-"

"Okay. Okay stop." He said. I looked away, tears in my eyes. I really wanted my sisters, and I wanted to not be in Brooklyn.

"Ev." He whispered. I rolled my eyes.
