I woke up in warm arms, it felt early but not too early, I felt fingers swirl in my hair gently and slowly then humming from behind, meaning it could only be Steve.
I rolled my body over to face the other side and Steve, a smile and small laugh was brought to my lips from the sight of his messy hair "you look great" I teased, messing up his hair some more than it was already
"hey you can't speak," Steve said flopping the messy ponytail over my face
"only kidding you look great" I reply dragging out the great and rolling my eyes as if was apologetic.
"of course" the gorgeous blonde retorts in fluent sarcasm, it falls silent and we're just staring into each other's eyes like there was no tomorrow or as if time was standing still
"I'm gonna go shower, my love" I flip the duvet of off my legs and a harsh breeze hits me before I start lazily walking towards my shower.
I reach in behind the shower screen door to turn on the water, leaving my clothes on the floor in a messy pile and letting the hot water serenade my body. not long after starting to scrub my skin with the raspberry body wash, I hear the shower room door creak open, I couldn't see anything due to the fogged up glass in front of me. the temperature drastically changes when cold air surrounds me, I look to the side of me and see Steve standing there shirtless with a blush on his cheeks and a subtle smirk on his soft lips "may I join you?" the tall blonde questions, his presence didn't make me shy away or any less confident than before, I felt completely comfortable just like a moment before when we laid in silence, a comfortable silence "of course you can" the words poured out from my mouth, my eyes glued wide open like a dead in the headlights
by the time his boxers had joined my clothes on the floor, every inch of his body was exposed and perfect, I felt the blush creep onto my cheeks as he stepped into the shower with me and moved closer to my small body "Mi Corazon" Steve said as his fingers fell in between my fingers then danced our hands around
"I didn't know you spoke Spanish" I giggled, my eyes squinting as I did
"you pick a few things up when you've been around for 100 years" the kind souled soldier laughed back
"Hey hun can I ask you something?," I ask, the thought crossed my mind when he said those numbers
"anything" Steve agreed, he was the kindest and best person I knew, he was my favourite person as stupid as it sounded
"do you think our age gap is weird?," I ask looking at our hand's intertwined
"Babydoll if you think about it I'm only in my 20's technically, which is only a few years older than you so no I don't think it's odd at all, why do you?" he replied making me feel slightly guilty that I asked but his explanation made sense
"never" I agreed with him truthfully, something in his eyes changed, they got darker and more focused, I was cut off from my admiring when Steve's lips pressed onto mine, I felt his hand on the small of my back and the other against the wall behind me, our bodies pressed against each other in a quick motion. It quickly evolved into an intense make-out session with kisses on the neck here and there but nothing more than that "that was... amazing" I breathed out whilst smiling ear to ear when we pulled apart from each others touch.
it was the best way to start a morning, at this point I didn't mind what I had to do for the rest of the day because I didn't think it's possible to break the spell-like trance I was in at this moment.
I walked downstairs with a permanent smile plastered on my face to start my gym session after getting dressed and ready. when I walked in I saw my brother and best friend on the team, Clint. Bucky was also there although we weren't that close, we were still great friends though. "morning lads" I greeted them cheerily
"hey ad you're sounding better today than last night" Clint welcomes me, they stop what they're doing to look at me
"yep" I shyly respond, I hide the giggle brewing in my throat like a teenage girl
"what's happened Adeline?" Bucky asks in an interrogating dad voice
"just things" I respond, skipping over to the rowing machine to build up my arm and stomach strength
"with soldier boy?" Pietro questions me, quirking an eyebrow, I hum in response whilst daydreaming about our shower this morning, it was romantic yet lustful
"so it is" Bucky teases, I could feel them all behind me waiting for me to spill the news
"did he inject you with his serum" Clint Jokes raising his voice like an excited child and laughing at his own innuendo, I turn around with wide eyes and my mouth wide open, Steve's best friend and my brother were standing right there so I couldn't joke back otherwise I would be teased about it for the rest of my life.
"no no no oh my god you weirdo" I scold the archer and smack his arm lightly, standing up from the piece of workout equipment
"then what happened, Adeline" my brother continues to pester me, putting an emphasis on my name
"cover your ears," I say pointing at Bucky and Pietro
"I can't believe I'm doing this" I whisper, biting my lip "we showered together and it was good" I finally say and cover my face in embarrassment, Clint's mouth dropped open and he immediately went to ask questions before Pietro cut in "I can still lip read Adeline Maximoff" he said so seriously whilst Bucky stood there laughing with us three.
I ignored their comments as I continued rowing and doing various other workouts, I could hear them through my headphones as they made fake moans and came out with other phrases that made me blush repeatedly.
"Ad we're being called to brunch," Bucky said as he tapped my shoulder so I could notice him over my music, I put the weights down and began to follow them out of the gym and to the dining room. We rarely ate in there unless we were all free at the time. most of the team were already seated and eating their food. on the table was all of the brunch type foods such as pancakes, eggs and sandwiches...
I sat down next to Scott and started to fill my plate and pour water for myself, I listened to the conversation that was already in swing, from what I heard I assumed it was about certain phrases that have stuck as inside jokes over the years "no I've got to say the best thing I've heard is 'language'" Tony spoke, putting his fork into his mouth in a weird way that only he would do
"or 'I thought Coulson was gonna swoon'" Bruce Joined in with adding to the list, they're one massive family and I'm lucky to be a part of it
"actually the latest and funniest thing I've heard by far is 'did he inject you with his serum'" Bucky's sentence made me choke on my water, out of all things he had to say that, the whole table fell into an awkward silence, everyone immediately knew what Bucky meant
"sorry what?" Steve said smiling, leaning over to look at me down the table
"I was telling Clint something cause you know Clint is our very close friend," I say winking so he would get what I meant "then he made a couple of guesses and came out with that phrase" I explain whilst trying not to laugh as everyone else did "which was incorrect"I added soon after
"now I want to know what you told him" Tony laughed covering his mouth
"you'll never know Stark" Steve spoke back to him smirking evily. Steve definitely did have a dark side to him.
