Steve Rogers Imagines

100

A/N: so sorry its late, But HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!! this is just a short but sweet birthday themed one shot for the captain himself

(Y/N)'s POV

I was just relaxing in my room after a long day of training, thankful for some peace and quiet since it was so hard to come by in the compound. I had just settled down to read a book finally getting to the really interesting part. It was a romance book, a guilty pleasure of mine, the main characters had been in this wonderful loving relationship but halfway through things happened and they grew apart. The part of the book I was currently on was at this new years eve party, the two main characters had ended up spending the entire party together catching up after months apart. I had left it where it was still up in the air whether they would get back together or not, but needless to say I had been waiting all week for a moment to find out. Just as I was getting close to finding out I heard a knock on my door, "dammit" I mutter before getting up to see who it was. "hey (Y/N), is this a bad time?" bucky asks as I open the door, "just reading, I'm getting to a really I'm..." I say as he interrupts "great because I need your help" he says walking in. "sure, what with?" I ask him sitting back down on the bed, "well honestly I didn't want to ask you, but I'm really struggling but if its too difficult for you its fine, I'm sure I'll think of something" he says beginning to ramble on. "bucky what is it?" I say getting him to stop, "I'm struggling to plan something for steve's 100th birthday, and I could really use your help" he explains. "oh" I mutter biting my lip slightly, "I know I'm sorry, I know its been awkward since the two of you broke up a few months ago, but that 40s party you threw last year was amazing, and I'm struggling to top it and believe it or not but nobody knows him better than you, me included" bucky says sitting down next to me. Me and steve while we had been together for ages before we broke up, things weren't working and we ended up growing apart. "buck its okay, things between me and steve ended well, there's no bad blood between us, yeah the first couple months were awkward but we're friends, of course I'll help you plan it" I smile, "thank you so much, so have you any ideas?" bucky asks. "well for him its alsway smaller is better, so many instead of a party, all of us go to one of tony's private beaches spend the day there have a bbq, have some fun and watch the fireworks" I suggest, "that sounds amazing thank you (Y/N)" bucky smiles getting up to go finish planning it. "no problem, and bucky do me a favour if steve asks who came up with the idea, don't say it was me" I ask him, bucky nods his head "yeah of course, lips sealed" he say with a slight smile.

Steve's birthday arrived and we were all on the jet heading to tony's private beach, "so are you going to tell me where we're going now?" steve asks, "nope just sit and wait" bucky says. Finally we arrived "the beach nice" steve smiles as we walk off the jet, "yep and its private so we have it all to ourselves" tony says carrying the stuff we need off the jet. "do you guys need any help with all that" steve asks, "no we're good, me, tony, thor and clint will set all this up you guys go change and have fun we'll be down in a few minutes" I say. "you sure, I'm sure the guys will be fine without you" steve asks me, "steve I'll be fine now go" I smile pushing him in the direction of the sea. "steve's right (Y/N), we've got this" clint says, "and I said I'm fine now come on we've got work to do" I tell him. Once everything was set up and we were all changed I sat down to try and finish my book, literally just as I opened the book it was whipped out of my hands "hey!" I complain, "we're all playing a game of soccer and we need you on our team, c'mon" nat says pulling me up and dragging me over not listening to my protests. On our team was, Me, Nat, Bruce, Rhodey, Thor and Sam, the other team was Tony, Steve, Clint, Bucky, Vision and Wanda. So far our team was winning but steve had just stolen the ball and was making his way toward the goal, I ran after and tried to tackle the ball from him but ended up tripping the both of us over. "oh god, sorry steve" I laugh, "hey no its okay, you okay though" he asks me laughing, its only then when I look up that I realised we were both lying in the sand incredibly close together. "oh uh yeah I'm good" I say quickly getting up and dusting the sand off of me, taking a couple of steps to add distance. "oh cool, that's good" he says doing the same, "right I believe that is a free kick to us and a yellow card for you" tony says pointing at me, "fair enough, come on lets get this game over with" I say walking back to my time. "afraid you're going to lose huh (Y/N)?" tony smirks, "no I meant for your sake since you're currently 2 points down" I fire back. "hey (Y/N) you okay?" nat asks once I walked over, "yeah I'm good, was just a bit it close that's all" I say quietly back, "I meant about your knee, you've grazed it pretty bad" she says nodding down to my knee. "huh? Oh yeah that's what I meant, could have been worse, it was bit close" I say quickly "I better go wash it off I'll be right back" I say heading off to clean it up. I watched the rest of the match as I washed my knee, laughing when bucky scored and went to leap on tony but tony moved out of the way. I caught steve's eye who gave me a quick thumbs up, I returned one with a small smile, watching as the game ended and they all moved onto something new.

Later on in the day we were all sat down eating our bbq food and just chatting, "so steve does this top your birthday last year" tony asks him as we all sit around the fire. I catch steve taking a glance at me before answering. "they're both amazing I don't think I could even compare them" he says, "fair enough, got any wisdom to pass onto us younger ones, since you've got literally a century's worth of knowledge" clint smirks. "um not sure, guess just making sure you have great friends" steve says, "boring" tony says, "I wasn't done, also to avoid ice and buy a good moisturiser, which tony seems to already have sorted" steve smirks. "low blow rogers, but since its your birthday and you made a capsicle joke I'll let it slide just this once but watch out next time you won't be so lucky" tony says pointing over at steve while the rest of us just laugh. "right children if you'd like to take a seat facing the sea the firework show will be starting shortly" tony says once we'd all finished eating. As the fireworks started I sat down on my blanket watching as the red, white and blue fireworks exploded over our heads. Half way though someone sat down next to me "thank you for planning all of this" steve says, "what do you mean?" I lie fiddling with my hands on my lap, "all this, I know bucky said he came up with it but I remember telling you about how I'd love to have just a day to relax on the beach and watch fireworks" steve smiles "so thank you for planning the best 100th birthday a guy could ask for" he adds. "it was nothing really" I say shaking my head "I just gave him the idea he organised all of it" I say brushing it off, "hey give yourself some credit, we both know you deserve it" he says nudging my shoulder. "I really don't" I say, "hey don't make me go all captain America on you" steve warns with a smirk. "fine, I'll take one percent of the credit" I smile, "I'll take it" steve smiles. "here I forgot to give this to you earlier" I say passing him his present, "oh thank you so much" he smiles as he begins to unwrap it. once he sees what it was his smile falters "where did you get this?" he asks his fingers gently running over the framed picture. "Sharon, it was peggy's gave it to me 6 months ago" I say looking over at the picture of the howling commandos and peggy all sat in a bar laughing and having fun despite the war. "this used to be in the bar we always went to, I can't believe it survived" he say quietly, "its an amazing picture, I was going to give it to you for our 3rd year anniversary but never got the chance" I say looking back down at my fidgeting hands. Silence fell between us the only noise being from the fireworks up above us, I glance back over at steve and find him already looking over at me. Before I knew it his lips crashed against mine and I instantly responded my hands finding his cheek and the back of his neck. As we parted we lingered slightly trying desperately to hold onto that fleeting moment neither of us knowing what to do or say next. I tried to form words but I couldn't all I wanted was to kiss him again but I knew I couldn't because we'd broken up for a reason, but at the same time I couldn't remember what that reason was. "I've missed you" steve says quietly, "me too" I reply barely being able to breathe out of fear of ruining this moment. "why did we break up?" steve asks, "right now, I don't know" I mutter looking up to meet his bright blue eyes which reflexed to bright fireworks above. "is this right?" I ask, "maybe we needed time apart to realised what we needed" steve suggests pulling away and for a moment I though the moment was over and that was it, back to being friends, nothing more. "I need you" I mutter not being able to stop myself, "I need you too" he smiles. "are we doing this?" I ask him, "do you want to?" he asks, "yes" I admit biting my lip slightly, "good because me too" he smiles crashing his lips onto mine once more and we once again kiss like there had been no time apart, and like we had spent an eternity apart all at the same time.
