Steve entered his bedroom and saw you staring at your lap. "Hey, you okay?"
You looked up at him and gave him a smile. "Yeah. Just a little shocked."
"Thanks for bringing him here." Steve said, sitting in front of you. "Where did you find him?"
"Almost ten blocks away. I thought about taking him to the hospital but he said no then I brought him home." You said. "His wound was deep but I got scared when I had to stitch it. So, I called you."
"It's alright, love." Steve said, his hand covering yours. "You did the right thing." After a few minutes of silence, Steve cleared his throat and shifted closer to you, "I'm really sorry about what I said. It's just that back then everyone wanted a tall, strong and successful man. A wealthy man, you know. That's why I had these insecurities. Buck did his best to help me but it never worked. Nobody wanted a small and weak guy like me and then I got the serum. All the girls wanted me then. Maybe that's why I judged you and it's my fault. You love me for who I am. Not my title."
"Do you know why I find it hard to believe that a man like you was single. Because you have a good heart, Steve. Those women were idiots. But I'm glad they left you because I have you all to myself now." You said.
"Only yours, love." Steve said. "Am I forgiven?"
You hummed and bit your lip to stop the smile, "No." You said.
"Looks like I have to convince you then." Steve said and pulled you down by your feet and started tickling you.
"Not fair, Steve." You blurted out while laughing.
"Say it and I'll stop." Steve said, straddling your hips so you won't escape his grip.
"No." You said and continued to laugh.
"I know you don't mean that, do you, love?"
"Fine. I forgive you." You said and Steve stopped his assault on you.
"Thanks, love." Steve said. "And I'm really sorry for what I said."
"It's okay. Now come and get some sleep." You said.
"Yeah." Steve sighed, leaning down to kiss you before putting his head on your chest just the way he likes. "I'm glad Bucky is okay."
"Me too." You said, carding your fingers through Steve's golden locks.
"I will take him to the tower after he recovers." Steve said.
"Why?" You asked. "Is everything okay?"
"Yes. But I can't tell you anything. It's better that I don't." Steve said. "You'll be safe."

Next morning, Steve woke up before you and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. Maze, Cooper and Cece greeted him as he walked through the living room. As he made some pancakes, Steve saw Bucky coming in the kitchen. "Morning, Buck. Sleep well?"
"I did." Bucky said, sitting down on the bar stool. "Whoa." He jumped as the whole gang came up to him.
Steve chuckled at him, "Relax, man. They won't harm you."
"What are they doing?" Bucky asked as Cooper and Maze both sniffed at him while Cece just stood at the kitchen isle and observed him.
"They are just getting to know you." Steve said.
"Who are you?" Cece said.
"That bird talks?" Bucky pointed at her.
"She does." Steve said, "Cece. Why don't you introduce yourself to Bucky?"
