Beautiful Trauma ~Steve Rogers Love Story~

7

Today was the day that I was gonna try to ask Steve out I just had to work up the courage first. I walked into the kitchen and dining area grabbing a cup for some coffee. I poured some of the delicious liquid into the cup then put some sugar and coffee mate into it stirring it. I started drinking the coffee enjoying it putting the cup down when I was done drinking the coffee. I went into the fridge grabbing a yogurt then went and grabbed a spoon. I sat down at the table eating my yogurt I noticed dad sitting across from me with a ice pack on the back of his neck. I looked at him confused before asking "let me guess you and Pepper are still fighting?" He nodded his head yeah telling me she has resorted to having him sleep on a couch in the living room. "Well you shouldn't have started arguing with her" I told him which caused him to glare at me I smiled at him before finishing my yogurt then went and threw the yogurt cup in the garbage and put the spoon in the sink. I left the kitchen and dining area deciding to go for a jog and see if Sam or Natasha want to come. I went to my room putting on some sweatpants and a top meant for running then grabbed my sneakers putting them as my phone went off. Once I was done putting my sneakers on I picked my phone up from the bed looking at the screen seeing I had a text from Natasha. She told me she'd meet me down by the front door I quickly texted her back saying I'll be there in two minutes grabbing my phone carrier thing I use for when I go jogging then left my room. I met Natasha down by the front door and we smiled at each other.

"I brought a backpack full of water bottles just incase we get thirsty" she told me with a smile I told her good idea as we left the inside of the main compound building heading towards Natasha's favorite hiking trail. We walked along the trail when we got to a certain point we started jogging keeping our breathing even. We kept quiet until we got an hour into the jogging we had to stop to take a break.

I looked around after I took another sip of water. "It's a nice day a little too hot but other then that it's nice out" I told Natasha she agreed to that. We finished taking our break and decided to take the trail to the right since it'll take us back to the compound and it's a lot faster than the way we came. We sighed before taking off again going right just taking our time. It was nice to have someone to run with that wasn't gonna ask a million questions about my time with Hydra and other things. When we reached the halfway point in the trail we stopped to have some more water. After Natasha took a sip of her water and swallowed it she looked at me with a smile on her face. "So are you gonna ask Steve out?" I shook my head at her with a smile planted on my face "we don't know each other that well." She shrugged her shoulders still smiling at me.

"You can't really get to know each other without talking and dating" she told me then took another sip of her water. After she was done sipping on her water I gave her a light shove before taking off and her chasing after me as we laughed. When we got back to the compound most of the team was sitting in the living room chilling and what not. Natasha along with me went to quickly scrub our bodies to get rid of the sweat and get dressed in non jogging clothes. Once I was done I went back to the living room sitting down next to Pepper was typing away on her laptop while dad and Morgan watched the tv. I took my phone out of my jacket pocket unlocking it then went to the messaging app. I tapped on the conversation I had going with Pepper and typed out a message about dad then hit send. I heard her Apple laptop go off letting her and everyone else know that she got a text message. I saw her open it give the message a read then she started laughing looking at me saying that's a good one Harley then looked back at her laptop "this is really runny and really true." She laughed a little more before responding with her own little joke about dad.

After awhile everyone in the living room started leaving wanted to go do their own thing. I decided to go and try to work on my essay about Steve. I grabbed my laptop from my room then went to sit outside on a patio that my dad had people come and build about two weeks before I got here. I sat out there with my laptop some pop and a snack I was seriously having a hard time writing this essay. "What you working?" I looked the direction the voice came from seeing Steve walking up to a chair across from me with a water bottle in hand. He sat down looking at me as I told I was working on a essay that I had to write out and it has to be about a public figure or someone from world war 2.
