You come from a small town in South Carolina where the tea is sweet and the flies are as big as birds. You grew up here, but moved to New York to work with the Avengers because of your combat talents. You come back to South Carolina to visit your mom every single summer, specifically in the month of July, because of July 4th. You decided that it was best to stay with your boyfriend, Steve, for July 4th this year because of his birthday. He protested and told you that family comes first and you started to protest back that he was your family. You two came to a mutual agreement that you'd both spend the entire month of July with your mom and Steve, even though you weren't quite sure about that either.
You both arrived at your moms house on July 1st with nervous smiles. You pulled into the curved driveway and stepped out of your car, meeting Steve at the trunk to retrieve your belongings. You two got your suitcases and headed to the door. Your mother, the opposite of a technology lover, did not have a doorbell. So instead, you knocked on the door and looked to Steve, seeing him give you a reassuring smile. God, that was a great smile. Your mom soon unlocked the door and you were greeted with the biggest hug known to man.
"Mom you're kinda suffocating me."
She immediately pulled away, still keeping a tight grip on your shoulders. Her eyes travel up to Steve's, considering she's only about half his height. Her hands immediately dropped from your shoulders.
"And who is this big hunk?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at you.
"Mom, this is Steve, my boyfriend. Steve, this is my mother, Jen." You said, motioning between the two of them.
"It's nice to meet you ma'am."
Steve was always so polite, it's part of the reason your Dad loved him so much. Plus, Steve's pretty patriotic and your father just eats it up.
"C'mon guys and I'll show you to your rooms." Your mom said, motioning for you two to enter the house. You walked in first, looking around and reminiscing about the times before, each happy memory on repeat in your head. You looked over to Steve, who seemed all too happy looking at the baby pictures lining the halls leading to your room.
"Y/N, as always, you're in your room. Steve, you'll be right across the hall in the spare room. Y'all get settled now and I'll meet you out here in about an hour and we'll head on out for dinner." Your Mom announced, waltzing herself back into the living room. You opened your bedroom door and threw in your suitcase, running to Steve's room and jumping onto his bed.
"Soooo, sorry I never mentioned the whole 'sleeping in separate rooms' thing. My family down here is pretty strict about that kinda stuff. They'd absolutely kill me if they knew we lived together." You said, the last part in a whisper.
"It's alright, Y/N. I mean, we're still right across the hall." Steve mentioned, walking to you to kiss your forehead. You winked and ran across the hall, mumbling something about getting ready.
An hour later, you and Steve met your mother in the living room for dinner. She had mentioned something about having a dinner with a family friend and you just hoped to God it wasn't who you think it is. When you three arrived, the other family was waiting on you outside. Wow. It's exactly who you knew it would be. You rolled your eyes and got out of the car, hand in hand with Steve.
"Hey Steve, can you excuse us right quick. I'm going to talk to my mom for a bit. You can go ahead and introduce yourself." You said, pulling your mother aside to speak with her.
"Mom, what the actual hell is this?"
"Y/N, theres no need to be upset. I just wanted to two to spend some time together when you come to visit."
"No, mom, you wanted me to come here and fall in love with Jonathan again. That's exactly what you want. Well, bad news. It's not gonna happen. I'm with Steve and nothings gonna change that."
"Y/N, I just wish you'd see how great you and Jonathan are together. You're meant to be."
"Mom, we were meant to be in high school. That's it." You say, storming away to go meet up with Steve, Jonathan, and Lily, Jon's Mom.
Everyone was led to the table by the hostess, and of course there are name plates where everyone is to sit. Of course, your mother had you sitting next to Jonathan and of course, Steve was across the table, in between Lily and your mother. You gave Steve a exasperated look, showing that you are extremely sorry. You took your seat and began to hear the whole "remember when Y/N and Jonathan used to date" talks. Jonathan was completely into it, laughing along with the mothers while you and Steve looked at each other in desperation. All of a sudden, you felt Jonathan's hand on your leg but you decided to think nothing of it, it's merely a friendly gesture. You began to eat a bite of the breadstick when his hand very quickly slid up under your dress. Before thinking, your instincts kicked in. Steve had trained you for this situation on multiple occasions, claiming you were too gorgeous and men were too gross. You stood abruptly from your chair, swiftly moving your foot to rotate Jon's chair towards you.
"Now listen here, you little asshole. Touch me like that again and not only with you have to deal with me but now you'll also have to deal with that 200 pounds of solid muscle sitting three feet away from you." You said, loud enough for only the table to hear.
All the eyebrows at the table raised, watching you intently.
"Steve, c'mon we're going home.. mom we'll catch a cab or something. " You said, motioning towards the door. She just nodded as a response.
Once you were out of the restaurant, Steve grabbed on to your hand and looked you in the eye.
"God, you're beautiful when you're powerful and strong."
You just offered and smile and caught the cab and headed home. Once you arrived, you both took a shower and headed to your designated rooms. You both reached the door frames and turned around to say goodnight.
"Screw it." You said, running to Steve and grabbing his hand, pulling him into your room.
"This is my room, also known as your room."
"I don't know, Y/N, theres a lot of boyband members starring at me right now.." Steve mentioned, pointing to all your posters.
"You know what.. go back to your own room." You joked, laying down, waiting for Steve to join you.
You felt and dip in the bed and smiled, feeling a pair of comfortable arms wrap around you.
