"Kate, how did it go with the guy who 'knew' you brother?" You ask laughing. "Oh he was really rich so I married him and divorced him for all the money he had" she answers with a smirk. "No way? I was wondering how you got so much money" "I'm just kidding he died from falling from his friends roof after he banged his wife." "Kate I'm so sorry!" "Don't be, I was in it for the money anyways, since my parents got old, my idiot brother couldn't educate himself to get a degree so he could work a well paid job, so I went for it." You both laugh like you did back in the cave 46 years ago. "You know what Kate?" "No, please share, I'm 64, I don't have a lifetime ahead of me like you do." "I'm jealous of you Kate, you got to marry a man, for the money, but still you got to live your life. Not that I complain about meeting James, he's like a big brother to me, but oh. I've missed so much." "But you still have that fine piece of American ass you can grab" she leans over and whispers. You turn with a shock on your face. "How could you tell?" "(Y/n) I'm old, but I'm not legally blind, or stupid." "Well you're one of the smartest people I know" you say in silence looking out on the lake. "How come you're 62, and look like you're 40?" "Says the 70 year old that's still 25." "Hey, I've been frozen a lot, if you were frozen you would probably not look like a old banana peel" "shut up you raisin" you both laugh, even if you missed out on a few years, Kate was still the same 19 year old at heart, they same way as you met her, a joyful spirit. "I love you, banana." I love you too grape." You spot a falling star, you close your eyes to wish.
That's the stupidest wish ever
Hey, I might need it
What a waste
It's just a star, not like something is going to happen.
"(Y/n) can I borrow you a few minutes?"

STEVE'S P.O.W
Steve went to talk to (Y/n) because he wanted to apologize for the mishap earlier. He hears your laughter and he stops up a bit. He listens to you talk to Kate about how you missed out on life. He was surprised that you had the same feeling as he did. He realizes he's eves dropping and cl read his throat and walk into the room "(Y/n) can I borrow you a few minutes?"

YOUR P.O.W

"Sure" you reply. Walk towards him and you turn to Kate giving her a warm smile. You walk with him and he goes for the front door, you stop. "Where are we going?" "Just a walk, or are you too exhausted from jogging earlier" "hah, no way Captain!" He smiles at you.

"The lake is beautiful now during the full moon" you tell him as you walk towards the lake. "Oh, I don't want you to get the wrong idea or anything this, seeing how romantic it looks and, well.. I kinda want t.." "Hey, you. Need to calm down, you sound like child in the principals office, trying to explain himself. And it's weird you're like 200 years older than me" he chuckles out of relief. "I just wanted to apologize for my behavior last night, and earlier today, it was. Uncalled for." "Oh, I don't mind you flirting around with me Rogers." "Oh, I wasn't... I-I.." "See, you're doing it again, didn't Bucky help you with anything before you got the serum?" "He tried, but it's kinda hard to teach me stuff like that." "What if you just keep on that 'Captain America' authority? You're seriously mad with words when you're in the role of a national hero." " I wouldn't call it a national hero, I mea..." "Ok, this.." you wave with your hands and gestures towards him, in general. "..needs to stop!" "What do you mean?" "What do I mean? This whole nervous child of a soldier I'm looking at. You need to man up, be yourself, you most certainly not need to be nervous around me... Unless I'm actually really angry, then you should probably be nervous." "But I have no idea how, I can't even dance!" "The Steven 'makes women fall to their knees' Grant Rogers, Captain America doesn't know how to dance?" You answer him, in shock. "No I've never.." "Well Rogers, we're gonna drink, to get you courage up and then I'm teaching you how to dance." "But, I..." You cut him off by grabbing his hand and you walk towards the house.
Are you sure drinking with Captain is a good idea? And dancing? So much physical contact
Oh please, the poor man can't dance, and if he can't kiss, I'm gonna be teaching him that too
I'm pretty sure he can kiss
Shut up!

After a few shots Steve looks way more relaxed, you put your 40's playlist on when you arrived in one of the many living rooms, but this one was hardly ever used, and with the open space due to less furniture in the room, it was perfect for dancing. He looks at you nervously, you gave him a serious look and like a lightening struck him, he now looked confident. He gets up from the couch locking his eyes on yours he walks over to you chair and offers you his hand. "May I have this dance" "yes, of course" you say putting your glass down at the table when you look up he's much closer to you than when you looked away to put down your glass. You feel small, fragile. Even if you're three times stronger than him. He leads you to the middle of the dance floor puts his left hand on your back and you look at him with questions.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asks upset." No, you just didn't do I probably." You respond calmly, as you take his hand and lower it so it's almost on your ass. You look at him, he blushes. "If you're going blush like that all night, I might have to punch you to give you some blue to go with it." "What about the white?" "Your teeth." You smirk as you pull him closer, he blushes slightly, but it runs off, and you start to move with the music, it's slow, and you know the next few songs are gonna be slow. You feel his arms, they're so strong and firm, like a rock.
If you were a man, he would have been scared off by your erection
Shut up I'm enjoying every second of him, I mean it.
Tell yourself that when you're married
Shut up.
"Steve?" You ask softly. "Yes, (Y/n)?" "Would it be really weird for me to go and change into a dress, because I really want to show you how to really dance." "I thought this was dancing?" "Steve, we're just warming up, and while I change, you can get a few more shots, so you don't loos that courage." You separate from his hands and you walk out the door.
