This one-shot was inspired by a one-shot I read a while back. I hope you like it even though it's a bit short.

-"Sometimes confessions of love come through ways other than words" - unknown

There were lots of ways that Steve Rogers told you he loved you.

He told you in the way he texted you at night to tell you goodnight and then texted you good morning when he got back from his run.  Always thinking about the fact you needed that little extra sleep than he did.

He told you in the way he put his hand on the small of your back to reassure you when you were overwhelmed in public by his fans and you weren't sure what to do.

He told you in the stolen kisses and the way his hand always sought yours out in public.  Even though he wasn't a big fan of public displays of affection and anything more would make him feel uncomfortable.

He told you in the deeper kisses and tight embraces he gave you are home.  In the way he laughed at your jokes and listen intently as you spoke about your day.

He told you in the way he always sought you out when he got back from a mission.  The way he needed the comfort of your arms.  The way his eyes lit up when he saw you again like you were the moon and the stars.

He told you in the way he danced with you.  Spinning you into his arms, even when there was no music and held you close as he swayed with you, looking at you with such soft and happy eyes.

He told you in the way you made love.  The way he wanted to give you what you needed.  The way he tested his boundaries for you.  How no matter what you always came away fulfilled even when you were exhausted and spent.

So when Steve Rogers finally said the words, those three words and eight letters, you weren't surprised at all.  He had been saying it to you the whole time. But those three words and eight letters still meant the world to you. He loved you unconditionally and you loved him just as much.

I hope you guys liked it even though it as said was a bit short, I will try to make the next one longer, but yeah.
