"Come on, you can do much better than that." Natasha teased as she dodged your punches. You guys were training, and it wasn't going so well. Every time she taunted you, you would lose control and burst into flames. Yup, that's your power. To burst into fucking flames when you were upset. Great, right?

"Come and get me!" You took a deep breath and lunged at her unexpectedly, surprising you and her with your strength. Natasha fell, and you helped her up, grinning. You heard clapping and saw Steve walking over and smiling at you. Natasha gave you a wink and you blushed. "So, I'm just gonna... Go... Ya know... Assassin business." You glared at the back of her head as she sauntered out of the training room, leaving you and Steve alone. "That was impressive." You blushed again and muttered, "Thanks." He gave you another cute smile and coughed.

"I wanted to ask you, are you free on Saturday?" Steve asked, looking flustered. "Hmm, well, I promised Tony I would help him with something..." He looked embarrassed. "I didn't know you guys had a thing..." "No!" You almost laughed. "Ew, he's like my brother!" Steve looked relieved but laughed with you. "After that, I'm free though. Why?" "Um, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to get a coffee or something." Steve stammered. You smiled at him. "3 o'clock, don't be late." You left the room, leaving him standing in the room all alone with a puppy dog smile on his face.

"Hey Tony, you mind if I leave a bit early today?" Tony shrugged. "Yeah, why?" You mumbled,"I'mgettingcoffeewithSteve." Tony grinned. "About time." You glared at him.

"You look amazing." You jumped. "Oh, Steve! Hi." He sat next to you, his eyes roaming over your body, finally stopping at your boobs. You giggled. "Steve, you know I can see what your looking at." He blushed. "Sorry." You gave him a smile and turned to the barista.

"Can I have a Caffè mocha please?" She nodded. "And can I have a Iced Americano?" You almost burst into laughter. "Steve... Iced Americano... For the Iced Americano...." You gasped, finally giving up and laughing hard. He looked confused, then laughed too. "Wow, I have a coffee named after me!" You guys laughed together, making the people around stare at you.

Time skip! (Sorry guys, couldn't write that long.)

Steve was now your boyfriend, and you were happy with him. Well, sometimes.

"Come on Y/N!" Steve shouted as you sparred with Nat. "You can do it!" You were getting control over your fire powers, so that was good. Finally, you knocked Nat down. You helped her up, whooping as you did. "Nice." She clapped you on the back and went to get her water bottle.

"That was good, but it took a really long time. Peggy could've done it five times faster." Steve commented, making you look down. "I gotta go..." You mumbled, running out of the room.

Time Skip (Sorry!)

"Aww, you shouldn't have done this!" You had surprised Steve with dinner. You spooned some pasta into a plate and gave it to him.

"Mmm, this is good, but the sauce is a little to salty. You know, Peggy used to make the best pasta. It was perfect." He went on rambling about Peggy's pasta and not taking a bite of yours for the rest of the dinner.

Time Skip

As time went on, Steve started to compare you to Peggy even more, and this time he wouldn't even say, "That was great," or "Wow!".

"Can't you do anything right? You know I don't like black coffee. Why can't you be more like Peggy?" His words echoed in your head. Why can't you be more like Peggy? Why?

"You're fighting wrong. What's wrong with you? It's so easy! Peggy could do this."

"Look, you gained a few pounds. Peggy was ten pounds lighter then you. Why are you eating so much?"

"No,no,NO! Why can't you do this right? Peggy could do this."

And finally, one day you snapped. It happened during lunch with all the avengers. He was commenting on how you looked. "Y/N, why do you look so... Plain?" Your lip quivered as you heard him speak. "What-what do you mean?" You stammered. "You didn't put on makeup at all, plus, you look plain without it. Peggy never wore makeup and she looked beautiful. You just look... Ugly." It took you a moment to process what he had said.

All the avengers were looking fearfully at you. "That's it right? Peggy? She'll always be better, huh? She was the perfect girl. She was good at everything. Why don't you go back to her? Go back in time or something. Stop comparing me to her. Leave me here.Fuck, I don't care. FUCK YOU!" You shouted at him, your hands bursting into golden red flames.

"Maybe I will! You'll never be as good as her Y/N. You were just the back up. You know how much she meant to me. You. Will. NEVER. Replace. Peggy." He shouted back at you, slamming his fists into the table, making you stumble back and fall to the floor.

He looked angry. Heck, he was angry. He stomped up to you and pulled you up by the collar of your dress and threw you across the room. You collided with the wall and fell to the floor in a heap. "Y/N!" Natasha ran towards you as the others ran towards Steve, trying to talk some sense into him. Steve has finally realized what he had done and ran to you.

"I'm so sorry, I don't know what got into me." He said shakily. It was no use. You were already unconscious.

Time Skip

"Hey." The world came into focus as you opened your eyes. The first thing you saw was Steve. His eyes were red and he was holding your hand. The first thing you see when you wake up is not the person who threw you across the room.

You sat up quickly and pulled your hand away from him, standing up and falling to your legs almost immediately. Steve quickly got up and took a step towards you, but you flinched and backed yourself against the wall. "Get away from me." You spat at him. He looked heartbroken and nodded. "Steve?" You said suddenly. He looked at you, his face full of hope.

"Don't go anywhere near me. We're done." He looked crestfallen and left the room.

VERY LONG TIME SKIP

You had decided to take a walk when you saw him. He looked the same, even after three years apart. You decided to go up to him. "Hey." You said softly. He looked up and looked shocked. "Y/N! How-how are you?" You shrugged. "Good." He smiled at you. Your ringtone began to play, so you took out your phone. "Sorry, gotta take this." You nodded at Steve.

Steve POV

She looks as beautiful as ever. Three years. It's been pulling me apart. I still can't believe I hurt her. I can't believe all the things that I said to her.

She nods as she takes out her phone.

"Hey." I hear her say. "What's wrong? Okay, I'll come home soon. Love you." My heart falls as I hear the last sentence. Love you? She has a boyfriend?

"Hey, so, I gotta go. But thank you." She says quietly. "For what?" I ask, not sure what she means. "For giving me a better life. If you hadn't hurt me, I wouldn't have the great life I have now." She walks away and I stand there, confused, hurt, and most of all? Heartbroken.

Hey guys! Nine hundred fucking views. Thanks so much! Pt 2 will be up soon. Luv ya guys! Ps Sorry for the violence.
