Burn and America (Avengers/Captain America Fan Fic)

Chapter 19

Freya Taschereau - Burn

I awoke to the sound of gentle snoring. I smiled slightly, knowing exactly who it was. I rolled onto my right side, and saw Steve, still the same position from last night.

His hair was slightly disheveled, and his right arm and boots were hanging over the side of the bed. I had rolled onto his left arm.

His mouth was slightly open, and I felt the sudden urge to kiss him-

Wait.

Slow down.

Back up.

Kiss him?!?!?!

What is wrong with me?

I rolled my eyes at my own thoughts and poked Steve in the arm. Wow, his biceps were hard.

I frowned slightly and poked his cheek instead. "Steve." I said lightly.

Still no response.

I shook his shoulder. "Steve!"

Still no response

Aggravated, I punched his arm, hard. "STEVE!" I yelled. He sat up, rubbing his arm. "What-" He lost his balance, and tumbled off the side of the bed.

I laughed, scotching over to the side to see him sprawled out on the floor. I giggled and reached my hand down to help him up.

He took my hand and, with a smirk, pulled me off the bed. I gasped. "Crap!" I cried, tumbling off the bed and taking half the sheets with me.

He laughed, his nose crinkling slightly and a smile spreading across his face. I laughed, his hand still in mine.

That's when I realized......

I was on top of him.

Oh shit oh shit oh shit!

"Oh, sorry I......" He looked into my eyes intently, tightening his grip on my hand as I tried to get up.

My right arm was across his chest, keeping me up. Steve had my left hand clenched comfortably in his. Our noses were only an inch or so apart, if not centimeters.

I looked into his beautiful blue eyes, so happily confused.

He didn't want me to move?

That's fine, 'cuz neither did I.

"You're so beautiful, you know that?" He asked me rhetorically. I blushed, the red creeping up my neck and onto my cheeks.

I smirk and chuckle lightly. "I try my best."

We laughed, his nose crinkling again. "Freya, I-"

"She should be....." The door behind us opened, and Tony, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, and Thor stood on the other side, Tony trailing off in surprise.

"So that's where the Captain was last night...." Bruce remarked.

That did it. I rolled onto my left, away from the bed and off of Steve, and he helped me up.

Steve Rogers - Captain America

I scratch the back of my neck awkwardly. Freya looks down at her toes, avoiding everyone's gaze. "Why were you here again?" She asks quietly. Tony smirked.

"We wanted to see if you were okay, and to find out where Cap went. Looks like you're fine, more than fine, actually, if you and Cap were-"

"Shut up Stark!"
