Living With Captain America/ [2]( COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 1

Ella sighed as she rolled her shoulders back trying to get rid of the cramping in them due to the many hours she had been sitting in the uncomfortable chair at her desk for. She reached up to gather her hair in her hands, tying it in a messy bun with the elastic band around her right wrist. It was already 2 in the morning and all Ella wanted to do was crawl into bed and sleep, unfortunately she had promised Fury she would get the report back to him by tomorrow and she was no where near finished. She sighed again before finished off the remains of her cold tea before placing her black frame glasses back on her nose (a new edition she now wore when staring at a computer screen for long periods of time).

As Ella began typing more code and data onto the screen she let her mind drift to how much her life had changed in the 8 months that had passed since Steve had proposed to her. She had now moved in with Steve onto his floor as it was bigger than hers. Ella couldn't help the smile that crossed her face as she remembered that day. Steve, Tony and Clint had all graciously offered to help her move her stuff from her floor to Steve's and to cut a long story short it ended up with Tony having to buy her a new guitar as he dropped hers down two flights of stairs. Clint spent the entire day cracking jokes about Ella and Steve's sex life just to wind Tony up. Ella was sure Tony would have hit him had Steve not stepped in first. It had only taken the better part of a day to move Ella in and Pepper had ordered take-out to celebrate. Ella and Steve left early to do some celebrating of their own.

Tony seemed to warm up to the idea of Ella and Steve being together although Ella suspected that was mainly due to Pepper's influence. He still stiffened slightly if their public displays of affection got heated; however Steve was naturally the perfect gentlemen and normally refrained from losing himself in it too much if they were in the presence of other people. Ella didn't have any such luck, no matter where they were or how small the touch was; she was instantly lost in it and craved more so it was safe to say it was normally her fault they got into those situations in the first place. Except for a few rare times when it was all Steve's fault...

Steve had been away on a mission for SHIELD for the past two weeks and to say Ella had missed him was an understatement. She had pretty much driven everyone else in the tower crazy while he was gone. Tony had actually threatened to drug her at one point just to get her to sit down and shut up. Safe to say everyone was more than relieved when Fury told them Steve would be home later that day. All the other occupants in the tower had gathered in the living room to wait for the Captain's arrival. Thor, who had recently returned from Asgard sat with a plateful of Pop Tarts, shovelling down one after the other in quick succession. Ella had immediately liked Thor when they were introduced for the first time, he reminded her of a gentle giant. His sometimes childlike comments and knowledge of the 9 realms led them to spend ages talking about science and magic and earth's technology like the ipad.

Steve walked into the room only half an hour later looking worn out. His hair was slightly streaked with dirt as was the rest of his face. He seemed to be sporting some stubble along his jaw which Ella had to admit only added to handsomeness. He shrugged his pack off his shoulder, letting it fall to the floor next to the door, his shield soon following. His eyes met Ella's for a brief second before she launched herself at him. Steve smiled brightly as he crushed her to him, the need to feel her in his arms overwhelming him.

It was Tony who caused the pair to break apart by clearing his throat loudly. "Right now that Rogers is back lets get this party started!" He announced as Jarvis turned on some music in the background.

"I was not aware we were having a party Man of Iron." Thor asked confused

"It's a figure of speech, Big Guy." Tony laughed as he patted Thor on the arm.
