The Perfect Partner [AU]

Chapter Seventeen.

"Calm down, It's almost done.." I said, trying to finish sewing the cut on Steve's leg. It wasn't that deep. Glad that the bullet only passed through the side of his skin. Blood was everywhere, and it was really hard taking him home. Without anyone noticing.

"We need to call SHIELD about this,"

But Steve disagreed and tried to move, "No! -Arggh!" He groaned feeling the wound on his leg.

"Stop, don't move just yet." I told him wiping the blood off.

"We don't need to call SHIELD, we'll only do so when it's a big thing to deal with. This is just a man who wants money and power. He's not that dangerous," Steve says looking at me and trying to ignore his pain.

I poked his wound as he groaned, "Not dangerous?" I paused and sat beside him. "Steve, this man has weapons."

"I know, but we can try to talk him out."

"Like that's gonna work."

He sighed, "It will."

"How?" I crossed my arms,

"If he won't welcome us in his place, we'll force him. Then, we'll talk." Steve tried sitting up as I held him.

A cut on his lip caught my attention as I stared at it, "You okay?" he asks me. I nod as I grab a wet towel, slowly wiping off the blood from his lower lip. My eyes stared at him, putting my face closer and focusing on the deep cut on his lip.

"How'd you get this cut?"

He groans, placing his hand over mine as I wipe it,  "When I fell on the ground.."

I sigh, slowly brushing the cloth on his lower lip, as his eyes stare at me.

"What?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

He just stared at my eyes, with his hand on mine.

"Does it still hurt?" I ask with a whisper,

He didn't answer, so I slowly place my face closer to his, putting the cloth away from his lip and exchanging it with mine. I gave him a deep kiss with our eyes closed.

Forgetting the whole thing for a while.

I missed this romance kind of thing. We don't get some of this these days.

I gave one last kiss as I gently pulled away, opening my eyes.

"It.. feels better," he whispers,

I chuckle, hugging him. "I love you,"

He smirked, "I love you too." He hugged me back, tight.

"I was actually scared earlier.." I confessed, "I didn't know what to do when you were shot." He released from the hug.

"Whatever happens, I'll be okay." He looked at me, "Alright?"

"Alright." I gave him one last kiss, "I'm gonna find him." I swore.
