Avengers Imagines

#1 (Steve Rogers)

Request: Can you do please write a Steve Rogers fic where they're in a fight that gets really heated and "I wish you were dead" slips out and reader replies by saying "me too" and then fluff?? Or not if you're not comfortable I just really like this idea. Requested by anon.

Warnings: Angst.

After Thanos' snap everything got worse. Steve had become more distant and you barely ever see him nowadays. At first, you said to yourself this is his way of coping, but six months later, nothing had changed.

You started arguing more, sometimes couldn't even look at each other and kind of blamed each other for what happened, even though none of you would've been able to stop him. You just needed someone to blame and you had each other for that.

One day, you were on a mission with Steve to clean up the city from criminals and something went wrong that caused the criminal you wanted to catch to not only escape but now he knows that you're onto him and he managed to hurt innocent people.

"What the hell, Y/n? I told you to stay there until I say otherwise" Steve was really angry with you.
"Well, I'm sorry if I didn't just want to stand there and be useless".

"You are useless. Now, because of you he escaped" he raised his voice.

"If it wasn't for me, he would've killed an innocent man. I managed to save him at the last minute. Wake up, Steve" your voices just kept going louder and louder.

"You know, sometimes I wish you were dead instead of Bucky" he spoke without thinking first.
Ouch, that really hurt! But without giving it much thought, you replied based on your instincts "yeah, me too!".

It took both of you a moment to process what has just been said.

"I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that. You have to believe me, Y/n" he apologized.

"I meant what I said" you admitted.

"What? No. Hey, don't. It's not your fault what happened, alright?".

"What are we doing, Steve?".

"What do you mean?".

"Us? We keep fighting. We can barely look at each other. We continuously blame each other for what happened. When will it stop?" You were tired of all of it.

"I'm sorry. From now on, I promise you I will take care of you and I won't fight with you again. I'll change, you'll see".

"I- I just miss them, you know?" You had been holding on for so long, pretending to be strong but now it all came pouring out. You were on the verge of a breakdown, but luckily Steve was there to comfort you.

"Hey, hey, it's alright! I miss them too. Everything will be alright! We'll find a way. We always do" he held you in his embrace and stroked your hair until you calmed down.
