Love In Battle:Captain America Love Story

Chapter 3:Steve

"What?! Might not make it out?!" I yelled into the phone,Fury on the line.
"Captain, it's her duty."
"I don't care if it's her duty. I'm going with her."
"Captain, it's her solo mission."
"But-"
"Captain,she volunteered." As soon as he finished his sentence, I hung up. I threw my phone on my bed and went to Mara's room. I pressed my ear to the door.
"Nat,I don't know how to tell him. The mission's tomorrow, and I have a date with Steve Saturday. It's Thursday-" Natasha cut her off.
"YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE WITH STEVE?!"
"W-well y-yeah....."
"IT'S MY OTP!"
"Nat,are you okay?"
"No....okay. Back to the original topic. Just tell him,I'm sure he'll be fine."
I knew this was my cue. I knocked on the door. I heard someone hit the floor,soon followed by Nat opening the door. I looked over to see Mara on the floor,awkwardly waving at me. I waved back,smiling. Mara jumped up with ease and walked over. She looked at Nat nervously, then back at me.
"Steve,I need to talk to you. Alone." She said. I nodded and stepped out of her way. She grabbed my hand,which sent a tingling feeling up my spine,and led me to another room. She shut the door and locked it. She got really close,which for a second she was gonna kiss me,but she sadly didn't.
"Steve,they want me to go on a solo mission." She said. I nodded,signaling for her to go on. She took a deep breath.
"But,if I mess up, I might not make it out." She finished. Tears threatened to fall from her beautiful blue-gray eyes. I embraced her in a hug.
"It's okay,you won't mess up." I reassured her. She cried into my shoulder.
"Why? Why did you volunteer?" I asked,the words slipping from my lips. She looked up at me.
"H-how did y-you know?" She asked. I told her Fury told me. Though,she didn't get mad like I expected. She instead bit her lip. That was a sign she was holding something back.
"Steve?"
"Yeah, princess?"
"Tell me a memory."
I took a deep breath.
"Remember when we were in the army? Our first mission. After the Syrum. We were Captain and Lady America,plus Bucky?" She nodded."Bucky and I were talking about you. Memories we shared. Your 16th birthday... " I looked down at her to see her holding on the the gold heart shaped locket with a picture of the three of us on her birthday that Bucky and I had gotten her. I smiled slightly, then continued.
"That golden locket we gave you,you never took it off. Not even in battle. Soldiers asked everyday, but you always responded with. " Deal with it. My best friends gave it to me." They'd ask who,and you'd say. "Barnes and Rogers." Then,they never messed with you. We always thought you strong,courageous, but caring. Bucky loved you like a sister...." I stopped,realizing what I had just said. Just Bucky loved her like a sister....
"Well! That's it." I noticed the look she was giving me. I smiled down at her, her tears had stopped. I kissed her hair and she let go of me.
"You're the best." She smiled up at me.
"No,princess. You are."
