Please Kiss Me.(Peggy Carter x female Reader)

chapter 1

"I have a crush on Carter"
"Congratulations for realizing. Took you long enough.", Howard grinned, taking another sip of his champagne.
"I can't deal with you right now!", I snapped, then swore in frustration "fuck"
„What? Her?", he joked
I scoffed and threw a pillow at his head: „Not an appropriate comment Howard"
„Come on that was hilarious! You loved it!"
I sighed deeply, then giggled.
„GOT YOU!", he yelled in excitement.
„Okay it was a little funny", I admitted.
A successful grin settled on his face.
„But siresouly hun, just shoot your shot. Carter loves a good person. You definitely are. And just cause she didn't want me doesn't mean she doesn't want you."
"I don't even know if she's interested in.. women, you know?"
"If she isn't, she'll make it clear if you approach her. Trust me, she is not bad a rejection. I got my fair share of it."
He pointed to his eye, wich, once upon a time, had been blue and black from peggy's punch.
I grinned: "It was about time you got rejected by someone. And I think I did a good job nursing you back to health"
He nodded. "Yeah you sure did"
"Even if she is.. sorry what do you call yourself again?"
"bisexual hun"
"Right. Bisexual. Even if she is Bisexual, I'll never be able to live up to Steve. He was the kindest guy ever and, as far as I saw on the news, you crafted a real nice body for him."
"Well.. maybe you don't have to. No man will ever live up to him. But maybe a woman doesn't have to. Peggys bar for your is currently extremely low, and you could be the one to set the height"
"I am very unsure of wether that was a complement or not"
"Take it as you will"
"Hm"
"Just try. Tomorrow we'll go to the carnival right? Get on some rides with her. The rides shake you around a bunch, you'll be touching her all night. And when we walk back home, I have to handle 'a work thing'. I'll leave you to work your magic."
"Fine. But if that shit doesn't pan out like you think it will, I will blame you. Understood?"
"Understood and accepted.", he saluted me.

It was a late afternoon when me and Carter got on our first ride. Howard, to my enjoyment, was correct about the rides.
We went on a tilt-a-will first. Since we shared the seats with Jarvis and Howard, we were pressed together pretty tightly anyway.

It was chilly out and I had my jacket thrown over my shoulders to give me some warmth. Carter though, was visibility cold, wich is why I offered her my jacket after the ride. At first she humbly declined it, acting as though she wasn't cold and I was mistaken. Minutes later she grabbed it from my shoulders and put it on. I acted like I didn't notice and we went about the day. We had some Cotton Candy and fruit (we shared both of those, wich had us walking next to each other the whole time.) After we were done eating, Carter decided that she HAD to go on the ferris-wheel, so I let her hold me by the arm and drag me through the crowd. Howard on the other hand, said there was no way in hell he was doing that. The millionaire playboy with a fear of heights. Jarvis stayed with Howard and we went up on our own. The higher we rose above the carnival, the more excited Peggy was. She kept pointing out the other rides, the size of the people and the buildings she could all see from up there. It was one of the very rare moments around her that I could actually see the fact that she had to have been a child once. It was so adorable.

After we got back down, we decided that our last ride were going to be the bumper cars. Howard gladly joined us on this one. The 4 of us (Jarvis included), mostly bumped into one another, but Howard did enjoy bumping into a couple of loud teenagers he thought were quite annoying. Afterwards, we took a walk through the city. During that, Howard took a call on his phone, wich had him totally worked up about something at work. (If he wasn't a scientist, he could've made it as an actor). He demanded Jarvis drove him immediately. He refused at first, as he didn't want to leave two women alone at night. Peggy gave him a harsh look and told him to remember the gift she'd gotten from his wife, Ana. I didn't know what it was,but judging by his reaction, I would've expected it to be a weapon of some kind. We ended up taking a long walk through the streets of New York City together. Peggy showed me her old home, the Griffif, as we walked by. I pointed out the apartment me and my fiancé had lived in together. "Break up?", she guessed as the reason why we didn't live there anymore. "He died in the war." She immediately looked down at her feet, avoiding eye contact in this awkward situation.
"Don't worry about it. I've moved on" I said, even though a quiet tear ran down my face. We arrived at home 15 minutes later.
I opened the door and held it open for her to go inside first, I went in after. She took off my jacket and handed it back to me. "Thank you. I had a fun time tonight. Sleep well."
"Yeah.. you too Peg"

I stood in my room when I heard a knock on the door. It was loud and clear, so I knew it was Peggy and not Jarvis. "Y/N may I enter?", she asked from outside. I looked at my white nightgown, to check wether it was appropriate for her to see me or not. I decided it was fine. "come on in". She entered, still fully clothed, but pajamas in her hands. "My Room door won't open. I checked the lock and there's a broken key stuck. Probably happened to one of the cleaning staff Howard has coming round."
"Do you want me to get it open? I'd have to get my toolbox from the base-" She interrupted me before I could finish. "Actually, I was wondering if I could stay here for the night. If it's not too much trouble.."
"No obviously not. Not a problem at all Peg", I said with a smile. She nodded. "Thanks"
"Well, you can use the bathroom to change. Although there is no door.. I'll just turn around then..", I rambled. Peggy turned around and so did I. I noticed too late that I was facing a mirror, wich revealed part of the bathroom. I bowed my head down but still saw her legs. I saw her skirt dropping to the floor and squeezed my eyes shut after that. It was her privacy.
I only opened them back up when I heard her say: "You can turn back around now" So I did. She sat down next to me.
„I had so much fun tonight", she said. „Me too, the Carnival was amazing!" I watched as the expression on her face changed. „I meant the walk after, but the Carnival was fun too!We should really do that more often!"
My face filled with surprise, but happiness too. "Yeah, sure", I said, smiling. In the few seconds we'd sat there talking, we had unknowingly shifted closer to each other. Neither of us were talking now, and I kept glancing down at her lips. If my imagination wasn't playing a trick on me, she was doing the same.
It was in that moment, that I decided to take advice from the greatest manwhore in history. I leaned forward and kissed her. She pulled back rather quickly, surprise and confusion written all over her face.
"Oh dear god I'm so sorry!", I immediately rambled, "That was so dumb, I'm sorry! I don't know what got into m-", but that was only as far as I got. She cut me off, jumping of off the bed, as if in shock of what had just happened.
She covered her her mouth with her right hand.
"I just kissed a woman. Oh lord what am I doing..",she whispered as she lost her mind completely, pacing back and forth through the room. I sighed deeply, stood up from the bed, opend the door and left. As I walked along the corridor I heard her lost voice call out for me, but only once. Then it died down immediately.

I walked to a living room area, grabbed the nearest pen and paper and started writing a letter. I then folded it twice and wrote 'to Peggy' on it. I proceeded to take my jacket off of the coat hanger and random car keys out of the safe. I entered Jarvis' room to find him wide awake, on the phone to a stranger . "Oh sorry, will you excuse me a moment please?", He put the phone down to look at me. "Well?", he asked, eyeing me. "I'm leaving. Give this to Peg in the morning. Thank you for your wonderful service, I will hopefully see you again soon."
"Might I ask where you are headed?", he asked,confused.
"To your house. I'm going to see Ana.", I answered.
"Splendid, say hello from me. I'll make sure Miss Carter gets this.", he said, holding up the letter.
"Thank you Mr. Jarvis. Have a nice evening.", with that, I closed the door.

I've been working on this story forever and it's still not completely done. But as it has reached somewhat of a satisfying ending, I decided to just start uploading and hope for the best. If I loose motivation, you guys will still have a finished story. Hope you like this, I honestly don't even remember where the carnival idea came from lmao.
Also.. notice how she had pjs with her although she ‚couldn't get into her room'.
Well well well...
