leon s. kennedy resident evil: requiem 9
age gap (leon s. kennedy forty-one years old + reader twenty-something); established relationship; riding / cowgirl; overstimulation; begging; edging; orgasm denial; possessive leon; dirty talk; creampie; female reader.
the bedroom was dark except for the faint silver light slipping through the half-closed blindsโenough to catch the sweat on leonโs chest, the way his abs flexed every time you rolled your hips down hard. it was past midnight, the house quiet except for the wet slap of skin on skin and his ragged breathing.
youโd started slow. teasing. grinding in lazy circles while he lay back against the headboard, hands loose on your thighs, letting you set the pace like he always did when he came home wrecked from a mission. but tonight you werenโt in the mood to be gentle. you wanted to break him a little. wanted to see the unbreakable agent kennedy unravel under you.
forty-nine years old and still stupidly gorgeousโsilver threading through dark hair, stubble rough against your palms when you braced on his shoulders, those blue eyes half-lidded and blown black with want. his cock was buried deep inside you, thick and throbbing, and every time you lifted almost all the way off and sank back down he let out a low, broken sound that went straight to your clit.
you picked up speed. harder. faster. slamming down until your ass slapped against his thighs, clit grinding against his pelvis on every downstroke. the wet squelch was obscene; you were soaked, dripping down his balls, making everything slick and messy.
โfuckโbabyโslow downโโ his voice cracked, hands gripping your hips hard enough to bruise. โyouโre gonna make meโโ
โno.โ you leaned forward, tits brushing his chest, lips ghosting over his ear. โnot yet. youโre gonna take it. youโre gonna let me ride you until iโm done.โ
he groanedโdeep, gutturalโlike the words punched the air out of him. his head tipped back against the wood, throat working as he swallowed hard. you could feel him twitching inside you, so close, veins pulsing against your walls. but every time his hips jerked up like he was about to chase his release, you stilled completelyโclenching around him tight, holding him right on the edge without letting him tip over.
โshitโpleaseโโ the word slipped out before he could catch it. leon kennedy didnโt beg. not usually. but right now his voice was wrecked, hoarse, desperate. โlet me come. fuck, sweetheart, i canโtโi needโโ
you rolled your hips in a slow, torturous circle, feeling the head of him drag against that spot inside you that made your thighs shake. โyou need what? use your words, old man.โ
his laugh was breathless, strained. โneed to come inside you. been dying for it all week. pleaseโfuckโiโm begging you. let me fill you up. iโll do anything.โ
the sound of him pleading sent a fresh rush of heat through you. you sped up againโbouncing hard, tits jiggling with every slam down, nails digging into his pecs. his hands slid up to your waist, then your ribs, thumbs brushing the undersides of your breasts like he didnโt know what to do with them anymore.
he bucked up involuntarily, chasing the friction. โyeahโfuckโiโm yours. all yours. justโpleaseโlet meโโ
you leaned down, kissed him messy and deep, tongue sliding against his while you kept the brutal rhythm. his moans vibrated into your mouth. you could feel him swelling even thicker inside you, right on the brink.
โcome on,โ you murmured against his lips. โgive it to me. fill me up. make a mess.โ
that was all it took.
his hands clamped down on your hips, holding you flush as he thrust up hardโonce, twiceโand came with a choked, broken groan. hot pulses flooded you, thick and endless, spilling deep while his whole body shook under you. you kept moving through itโmilking him, grinding down to drag every last drop outโuntil he was twitching, oversensitive, gasping against your neck.
โfuckโฆ fuckโฆ too muchโโ he panted, but his arms wrapped around you anyway, pulling you down to his chest so you stayed seated on him, cock still buried inside, softening slowly in the wet heat.
you kissed the sweat-damp skin under his jaw, smiling against him. โgood boy.โ
he huffed a laugh, weak and wrecked. โyouโre evil.โ
โand you love it.โ
his hand slid down to cup your ass, squeezing lazily. โyeah. i do.โ
you stayed like that for a long minuteโbodies slick with sweat, hearts hammering togetherโhis cum slowly leaking out around where you were still joined.
when you finally lifted off him, a thick strand followed, dripping onto his thigh. he watched it with dark, hungry eyes, then pulled you back down for a slow, filthy kiss.

(also thank you @leavemealoneplzs for helping me with editing ily!!!)
โwhere are you going?โ you asked, your heart beating hard against your ribs.ย
leon stood at the door, a singular backpack packed with snacks, a book he bought months ago and only read 7 pages of, his toothbrush, and a change of clothes. you caught him halfway through putting his jacket on. he paused and hesitated before turning around to face you.ย
โraccoon cityโฆ somethingโs not right. I have a bad feeling.โ he said, quietly.
your heart was beating so fast and so hard, it hurt. a million and one thoughts raced through your head, yet you couldnโt find the right words.ย
you and leon were childhood best friends and had recently graduated from university together. he graduated from the police academy with flying colors, and you were working your first big girl job. the two of you had come a long way from being 7 and 9 years old, palms sticky with remnants of strawberry ice cream and scraped knees from falling off of your bike and onto the pavement. you decided to move in together before the start of university under the guise of cheaper rent and someone to come home to after a long day of classes, but of course, there was something more. at least for you.ย
there were moments with leon that made you feel like there was electricity was coursing through your veins, making your head dizzy and your heart beat loud. instances like when the two of you would accidentally brush hands as you walked too close to each other, but neither of you moved away or when Leon had a couple too many beers at the bar with his study group and sat next to you on the couch while you studied, resting his head on your shoulder. you still remember the sour smell of beer on his gentle breath, the sweet smell of his shampoo in his soft brown locks, and the way his fingers twitched and rested on top of yours.ย
or the time you were in bed, sick with a high fever. leon took care of you. he always did. maybe you were delirious or maybe you were half asleep, but you couldโve sworn you felt a soft pair of lips brush against your forehead before you were tucked in. you could never forget that.
many intimate moments like this were shared between the two of you, but neither of you ever acknowledged them and just went on with life like they never happened at all. sometimes you even managed to convince yourself that you imagined it all.
โsoโฆ this is it?โ you managed to squeak out, your throat betraying you as you blinked rapidly, trying to force the tears to keep from spilling out.ย
you knew this day was coming. both of you did. raccoon city was too far away from your cozy, safe, shared apartment, from your perfect little bubble. you never thought it would happen like this, though.ย
you imagined a tear-filled parting, the painful last hug before facing the possibility that life was going to change. the possibility that this would be the last time youโd be this close to each other.ย
you held on to each day like it was your last with him. you werenโt ready to let go. it was hard to imagine your daily life without him after spending the last few years living with your best friend. you chuckled to yourself, reminiscing about the times youโd share a drink together, laugh, and talk shit until 4 am, or when he restocked your snack stash you indulged in when you were studying, and how heโd always forget to use a coaster when he was sipping on his coffee mug, leaving an almost perpetual ring of coffee on the same spot on the tableย
he was home.ย
โI justโฆโ leon sighed, deeply, rubbing the bridge of his nose. โI donโt know how to say goodbye to you.โ
โso you were just gonna leave without saying anything?โ you scoffed, crossing your arms. โI thought I meant more to you than that.โ you shook your head, refusing to look at him. you knew youโd burst into tears if you made eye contact with him.ย
leon took a slow step towards you. โcome on, donโt say that. you know how much you mean to me. I donโt have to tell you that for you to know.โ
โit would be nice to hear,โ you thought to yourself. โcome on, leon. tell me you love me.โ
the air was filled with silence, you standing a few feet away from him, staring hard at the wall with stinging eyes. leon stood there, backpack slung over one shoulder, looking at you with furrowed brows and clouds of guilt in his icy blue eyes.ย
both of you were scared, afraid that if either of you stepped forward and made a move, things would fall apart completely.ย
although you couldnโt see him because you were avoiding his gaze, you heard the sweet sound of his voice utter your name and you felt him take another step closer.ย
โtell me you love me, leon.โ
โI have to go,โ leon whispered, placing a hesitant hand on your shoulder, sending goosebumps down your arms. you shook your head again, a couple tears spilling out involuntarily. your lips stayed pursed, fighting back quivers and you bit your tongue, knowing if you opened your mouth to say anything, things would never be the same again.ย
โwhy does this goodbye feel different? weโre going to see each other againโฆ right?โ you finally look up at him through your eyelashes, tears glittering on your cheeks.ย
โof course. Iโll find you no matter where I am. Iโll always come back to you.โ leon nodded, wiping away a tear with his thumb. he wrapped his arms around you firmly, pulling you into his chest with his hands holding your head. you buried your face into his chest, never wanting to pull away and leon never rushed you. he waited for you to pull away first.ย
the two of you stood like that for a while. something was different about this time, you were right.ย
you eventually pulled away first, paying no attention to the tear stains you left on his perfectly ironed blue shirt.ย
โI promise Iโll call you as soon as I get the chance. take care, okay? Iโll be back soon,โ leon said, gazing around your shared apartment with sadness in his eyes, almost like he knew deep down heโd never be back.ย
โtell me you love me, leon. please.โ
you wipe your eyes with your sleeve, looking up into his eyes, trying to memorize the exact shade of bright blue in his eyes and the moles that were scattered across his face and down his neck.ย
โbe safe,โ leon adjusted the bag on his shoulders, reaching for the doorknob.ย
โyou, too, leon.โ
and just like that, 30 years passed. tou still lived in the same area, just a different apartment and a different job that earned you a notable amount of money. a few different boyfriends came and went, but no one stayed long enough to really matter. not like he did, at least. Even now, you find yourself looking for him in everyone and every place you go, to no avail.ย
facebook, twitter, instagram- you name it, you searched for him.
leon kennedy.
it was almost like he vanished completely. there was nothing that came up on the internet, which made you feel quite defeated because you can find anyone on the internet now if you look hard enough.ย
you even looked through the obituary section in newspapers.
cardboard boxes with leonโs belongings sat in your attic, the only remaining evidence of his existence. you still had pictures of the two of you hung up in random spots in your house and you occasionally found yourself staring a little too long, a little too hard, wondering what he looked like now. did he have strands of gray in his hair now? did he still have the same excited blue eyes? was he alive?
one fateful day, you read about the raccoon city incident- the outbreak and the bombing to contain the virus. you felt your stomach churn, realizing that meant there were no survivors. every time you received a scam call, you picked up anyway in case it was leon. the mailbox was checked regularly, and every time, your heart dropped when you didnโt find a letter from leon. you kept all his belongings he never came back for, convincing yourself heโd be back for them. that heโd be back for you.
leon kennedy gave you hope, even in his absence.ย
you couldnโt help but wonder if youโd ever move on from him. if you asked him to stay, would he? if you told him you loved him, would he still leave? did he ever love you?
eventually, your sadness turned to resentment and grief. leon took a part of you with him to raccoon city and you never knew if youโd feel whole again.ย
it was just another regular day. it was pouring rain and you just ate dinner, doing some work from home on your laptop on the couch. in between typing, you ate spoonfuls of mint and chocolate chip ice cream, humming along to the song stuck in your head when your doorbell rang.ย
you raised an eyebrow, glancing at the time on your laptop. who was ringing your bell at 9:30 pm on a tuesday night? a couple of knocks on the door sounded throughout your living room and you stood up hesitantly, making your way over to the door.
โif itโs a package, you can leave it at the door.โ you raised your voice, standing in front of the door.ย
โitโs me. leon.โ
your heart pounded in your chest so hard it hurt. the nausea built up as you threw your door open. of course, you knew that voice anywhere, even if it had been years since you heard it. even if it sounded deeper and rougher, more raspy and tired.ย
there he stood in all his glory. leon kennedy, dressed head to toe in black, stood at your doorstep after 30 years. he was drenched in rain and in the darkness, his blue eyes still shone so bright, but they were different. they were no longer vibrant, radiating joy and excitement, but they looked worn, fatigued and empty. you studied his face, scanning it for everything that was unfamiliar to you. new wrinkles rested on the outer parts of his eyes and his forehead, faded scars decorated his face but he still looked so beautiful.ย
your face felt wet and you wanted to think it was the rain, but leon watched as tears streamed down your face once you realized it was him.ย
โyouโre alive,โ you whispered, putting your hand on your forehead. you wanted to pinch yourself and make sure this wasnโt your brain betraying you with a dream.ย
โI mean, I wouldnโt be standing here if I wasnโt.โ leon chuckled and your heart dropped. you came to terms that youโd never hear his laugh again. that youโd never see his smile again. that youโd never see him again.ย
โyou donโt get to do that. you donโt get to come back here 30 years later after itโs been radio silence and you donโt get to joke around. is this funny to you?โ you let out a frustrated snort, wiping your face and it felt like leon took a stab to the heart. you still looked just as beautiful as the last time he saw you. he always thought you looked even more beautiful when you cried, even though it hurt him to see you like that. leon wanted to protect you from anything and everything that would hurt you, even himself.ย
โI wanted to, I promise. I ju-โ
โcome inside. itโs pouring. youโll get sick.โ leonโs heart fluttered. you were always so caring and looked after him, even now after you probably hated his guts.ย
the two of you walked inside and leon took his wet boots off at the door, shrugging his jacket off and hanging it. you sat on your couch and watched, your thighs involuntarily clenching at the sight of his wet compression shirt clinging to his chest and his thick biceps. your eyes squeezed shut as you tried to convince your brain to stop having these thoughts. you hated how he still made you feel after all these years. it was undeniable, the effect he had on you, even now.ย
leon let out a quiet huff, running a hand through his damp locks of hair that were littered with gray strands. and he had a beard now, too. it looked like life really did a number on him, but he still managed to look so handsome. he always was, just in a different way now. more rough around the edges, but you still saw through him. that 21-year-old rookie was still inside, hiding.ย
everything was still for a while and the two of you sat in silence, observing each other quietly.ย
โso are you going to say something or did you come here to sit there and stare at my face?โ you ask bluntly, getting up and walking over to your kitchen.ย
โI missed you.โ
you lift your gaze up to look at him, noting the tinge of sadness and regret on his worn face.ย
โwhere were you? I waited. for years, leon.โ you shake your head, making leon a fresh cup of coffee for him to warm up.ย
โI- I know. I couldnโt. trust me, if I could, I would have.โ leon gets up from his seat, taking slow steps towards the kitchen.ย
โwhat does that even mean?โ you raise an eyebrow and cross your arms, leaning against the counter. at this point, tears were threatening to spill from your eyes but you didnโt want to let them win. to let him win.ย
โI didnโt have a choice. Iโm sure you heard about what happened in raccoon city. I was there. it was horrible,โ leon squeezes his eyes shut, willing the gruesome images flashing in his mind to go away. โafter that night, the government recruited me. I spent the last 30 years of my life serving them. I wanted to see you, I promise I did. you have to believe me.โ
you poured the steaming coffee into a mug, sliding it over to leon and remaining silent. all these years, you thought about what youโd say to leon if you ever saw him again. in some scenarios, you hugged him and told him you missed him and in others, you told him to leave and that you never wanted to see him again after he hurt you that bad. in this moment, all the preparation seemed futile and you couldnโt think of anything to say.ย
โI thought you died.โ you whispered and watched leon cup his large, warm hands over the warm mug that seemed too small for them.ย
โIโm sorry. I know thatโs not enough and I know I hurt you, but knowing me would have put you in danger because of my job. and I wouldnโt be able to live with myself knowing I put you in harmโs way,โ leon admitted, taking a sip of the bitter coffee, letting the warmth spread over his cold body.ย
โso why are you here now? after 30 years?โ you ask, completely oblivious to leonโs hand on the counter slowly inching towards yours.ย
โIโฆ they need me back. in raccoon city.โ leon said with a shaky breath.

Cold Shoulder (Steve Rogers x Stark!Reader)
Summary: Steve returns to the compound after the Civil War between the team, making you ignore him and give him the cold shoulder because he left you alone and without a word
Warnings: fluffย
Marvel Masterlist
During the Civil War between the team, Tony made sure that you didnโt know about it. He wanted to protect you - his daughter - from the dispute. Especially because Steve was involved in it and he knew how close you and Steve were. But you eventually found out about it. And you were upset with both Steve and your father.ย
You were angry at Tony for trying to keep you sheltered from everything and for trying to treat you like a child, and you were angry at Steve for leaving. When you heard that Steveโs team had escaped from their prison you knew that he was behind it.ย
Knowing that he was back in the field, you waited for him to return to you. To apologize or something. But he never did. Though you tried to hide your heartache, Tony could see right through your facade and suggested that you move back into the compound.ย

Thatโs the Wrong Sister (Steve Rogers x reader)
Request:ย food-books-and-bed said:ย Can I request a story where the reader was Natashaโs twin and was walking down the street or something and someone needed help and mistook her for Natasha and Steve was watching and he made her join the team she and Steve hookup but he falls for her
Sometimes it was almost a curse to be the twin sister of Natasha Romanoff. ย It was definitely a bad choice to live in the same city, where her enemies knew where to find her and where anyone at any time could ask her to save them. ย You tried to dress conservatively, hoping to cover your identity as much as possible without being totally hidden from the world. ย You still had a life to live, after all.
Tonight was one of those nights that had you wishing that you would have just stayed home. ย You could hear a woman screaming from somewhere nearby, but the sound seemed to come from all around you. ย Moving to the middle of the street, you looked quickly for any cars before closing your eyes and listening; trying to decide which direction to run, trying to drown out the background noises of the city around you.
โMaโam?โ
โShh!โ you scolded the voice next to you, raising your hand to demand his silence. ย You never even opened your eyes to see who it was, running away from him as your senses sorted out which direction the womanโs scream was coming from. ย You didnโt hear him follow you either.
When you reached the alley, you stopped at the sight of a man holding a woman against a building with a knife to her throat as he rummaged through her purse. ย She was doing her best not to panic, and tried to hold her reaction when she saw you in her peripheral vision as to not give you away.
โHey,โ you called out, stepping into his line of sight, โI think you should let her go before this gets ugly.โ
The man pulled his knife away and released her, now turning to you. ย She grabbed her bag and ran from the alley, leaving him for you. ย โHey, cutie,โ he smirked in a gravelly voice that sounded old and worn, โyouโve got a lot of nerve, scaring off my catch there. You taking her place?โ
โIโm here to kick your ass.โ
The man spun the knife around in his hand and stepped back to lower himself into a lunge, shooting himself forward at you. ย You simply shook your head and sighed, easily grabbing his arm when he attempted to swing the blade at you, firmly twisting and snapping his shoulder from its joint. ย He was now lying at your feet, whimpering and begging for you to stop pushing your foot into his chest. ย You grabbed his knife and slipped it into your boot, leaning down to capture his gaze.
โAt least make it a challenge for me,โ you mumbled. ย โIโm sure you have a few questions, but I had plans that you so rudely interrupted.โ You pulled out your phone and called for police to come pick him up, looking around to see if anyone had been watching. ย The alley was dark and you didnโt see anyone, but you couldnโt shake the feeling that someone was there.
Once the sirens grew closer and you could see the lights on the nearby street, you jumped to the nearest fire escape and climbed up until you were out of view, watching the man to be sure he didnโt try to run. ย Satisfied with his removal, you jumped to the next building and then the next, lowering yourself to the ground to leave and resume your original plans for the night.
Back at the site of the incident, Steve watched as you disappeared into the darkness. ย He stood motionless for several minutes before a dark figure dropped down next to him from above; another witness to your control of the situation.
โRogers.โ
โMurdock.โ
โSo, whoโs that one? These vigilante types are just crawling from the woodwork, huh?โ
Steve looked at Matt and sighed loudly, disbelieving what was being said. ย โReally? ย You mean like you?โ ย
โHey, this isnโt about me,โ Matt said nervously, raising his hands in defeat and slowly backing away. โOkayโฆsoโฆnice chat, Cap. ย I best be on my way.โ
Pulling his phone from his pocket, Steve paused for a moment before making the call that could change your life from this day forward. ย He slowly dialed, considering his decision before entering the final number, but finally gave in and put the phone to his ear.
โHey, Nat. ย I have a few questions to run by you. ย You got a minute?โ
~~~
โShe doesnโt want to be found, Steve. ย I canโt say that I blame her.โ
โOkay, but why didnโt you tell me you that you have a sister? ย Youโre in the same city, and yeah itโs a big city, but thereโs always a chance that we would run into her.โ ย Steve looked up at Natasha across the small cafรฉ table with a small smirk, taking a drink of his coffee, โI thought she was you.โ
โSheโs good. ย Not as good as me, of course, but she has no problem holding her own.โ
โCan you bring her in?โ
Natasha sat her cup down on the table with a loud thud and a shocked look on her face as she all but choked on her drink. ย โTo the team?! ย Are you joking? ย Cap, I just said, she doesnโt want to be found. ย I did say that in English, right?โ
โYeah, you did,โ he chuckled. ย โBut all the same, I think itโs the right thing to do.โ ย Steve quickly took the last swallow of his coffee and stood to leave, looking down at his teammate, โyou in or out?โ
โIโm out.โ
~~~
The overly enthusiastic and loud banging on your door startled you enough to drop your phone before you could send another reply back to your sister, who had tried to give you a little warning that he was trying to find you; you were surprised that the Captain had arrived so quickly. ย You stood to open the door, but had made a firm decision to not let him in.
โWell, I must say you sure didnโt waste any time finding me. ย Did she tell you or are you just that resourceful?โ
โI prefer to not divulge my methods,โ he said, looking down at you with a commanding presence that did anything but put you at ease. ย He was more intimidating than you would have imagined after what you had read about him and what Nat had told you. ย โMay I?โ He pushed his way through the door before you could reply, taking full advantage of your stunned silence.
โYou know, thatโs rude to just force your way into someoneโs home. ย In fact, I think thatโs called trespassing, Captain Rogers. ย Not very law abiding for a walking flag.โ
Steve looked down at the clothes he was wearing, a pair of jeans and a simple button down shirt, and looked back at you with confusion. ย โIโm not even wearing the suit-โ
โCanโt escape it, sorry,โ you sighed, shutting the door once you decided that he wasnโt about to leave any time soon. ย โYou just ooze patriotism.โ ย You took a deep breath and turned to look at him, doing your best to hold your resolve and not take him up on the offer that you knew was coming. ย Doing your best to not fall prey to the man that Nat had warned you about only moments ago. ย The man that she knew was much too close to your type, and that you would find hard to say no to. ย โNo thanks, Captain. ย I know what you are here to offer, and I donโt want you to waste your time or energy.โ
โShe told you.โ
โSheโs my sister. ย You think she wouldnโt?โ
Steve took a few steps closer with a slight sense of urgency and fear that he would lose any shot to convince you of his plan before you even gave him a chance. ย โOkay, but hear me out. ย You didnโt break a sweat the other night; you didnโt even look like you were engaged in it. ย It was too easy. ย You must have skills similar to hers, right?โ
โI said no.โ
โNatasha told me that you were trained with her, but you stayed behind after she left the Red Room. You stayed on and trained new girls-โ
Finished with his lack of respect for your answer, you stepped behind him and twisted his arm back, pushing him into the wall and pressing his face against it. ย He didnโt fight back at all, not even pushing back when you held him tighter. ย
โWhat part of โnoโ is Captain America having a hard time with? ย Is it the โnโ or the โoโ? ย Perhaps itโs a lack of manners thatโs the problem? ย Do you make it a habit to just barge into someoneโs home and spout off until you get your way? ย Do you always get your way, Steve? ย Is that it?โ
You swore you heard him growl; like some strange animalistic noise coming from his throat. ย You held your ground, waiting for him to turn the tables on you, planting your feet firmly to keep your leverage against him. โHmm? ย Nothing? ย I thought you were more than just a shield, Rogers.โ
Those must have been the magic words to spring him into action. ย It a flurry of twisting arms and legs, punches and kicks, fingers weaved into hair and hands around throats, it was a matter of seconds before you were pinned to the ground and he was looking down at you. ย His hands were like vice grips holding your arms to the floor; you couldnโt so much as even wiggle your fingers.
โNow that we have that out of the way,โ Steve panted, โcan we get back to business? ย Youโre skills are impressive, (Y/N).โ ย The look in his eyes was shifting, and softening slightly, but they were still intense and held your attention with the deepness of the blue in them. ย You felt a shift in your interaction, and you could see that he did too. ย โAlrightโฆmaybeโฆmaybe it would be best if we got off the floor and talked in a more civilized way.โ
He finally stood and held his hand out to you to help you up, no longer making the eye contact he had so firmly held seconds ago. ย โAlright, talk,โ you sighed, straightening out your shirt as you stood. ย โYou have ten minutes to convince me of every reason why I should go with you.โ
~~~
Steve was a very convincing man. ย It likely had a lot to do with the fact that you now wanted to let him convince you so you could see more of him. ย You had spoken only a handful of words to him, but you listened to him go on and on about how the Avengers were a cohesive team that wanted to protect and make things right. ย He was so passionate about what he believed, that you couldnโt help but be convinced, and now here you were, about to meet everyone.
โJust wait here,โ he whispered, resting his hand over yours as if it were natural to do so. ย When you looked down at it, he pulled away quickly and cleared his throat in embarrassment. ย โUm, Iโm just gonna see whoโs here before you come in. ย Looking so much like Nat might be a bit of a shock for them.โ
After about five minutes he returned to the front door to bring you in, looking slightly disappointed about something. ย โWell, no oneโs here right now, but I can give you a tour if youโd like?โ ย His eyes were filled with anticipation that you would agree to stay, so you quickly took his hand for him to lead the way.
โAlright,โ he sighed, looking down at your two hands and your fingers intertwined, seeming a bit uncomfortable at the contact. ย โgym first.โ
โNo,โ you said, pulling back against his arm to stop him and keeping your hand in place as you spoke. โYou said the towerโs empty, right?โ
โUhโฆyeahโฆ?โ
Being forward wasnโt your strong suit, and you were usually uncomfortable showing guys any interest, but this was no normal guy. ย You may never have this opportunity again, so you took the chance, pulling him down for a kiss, wrapping your other hand around his neck. ย He responded quickly, pressing his mouth roughly against yours, his tongue searching desperately and dancing with yours. ย You lost your breath when he lifted you from the floor, and you had to wrap your legs around him to keep your balance. ย
The breath was knocked from your chest slightly as he slammed your back into the wall, still kissing you with ferocity and need. ย He pulled his head back and began to leave hot kisses down your neck, his warmth leaving goosebumps on your skin.
โThis isnโt like me,โ you panted. ย โI swearโฆitโs justโฆthat youโฆโ
โI knowโฆbut I donโt want to stop myself.โ
~~~
You woke the next morning to incessant buzzing from your phone and countless texts from Natasha, undoubtedly worried that she hadnโt heard from you since telling her you were going to meet with Steve.
Did you see the tower last night?
Steve said he convinced you to stop by.
Where are you?
Are you still asleep? ย Wake up, already.
Have you heard from Steve?
โGod, sheโs persistent,โ you whispered to yourself, rolling onto your back and rubbing the sleep from your eyes. ย โYou get to tell her, not me.โ
โSheโs your sister,โ Steve said in a sleepy voice, โIโm not getting in the middle of that.โ
โIt didnโt seem to bother you last night.โ ย You sat up and stretched, yawning as your body pulled itโs aching muscles, โalright, then what should I say?โ
โTell her that you didnโt get a tour of the tower because I was too busy taking advantage of her only sister.โ
You tapped away at your phone for a few seconds then tossed it on the table next to you. ย โOkay.โ
Steveโs face went immediately pale and his mouth hung open in shock. ย โYou didnโtโฆโ
You gave him a mischievous smile and quietly began, โFiveโฆfourโฆthreeโฆtwoโฆoneโฆโ
The furious banging on his door surprised him, jumping at the sound of the angry Russian on the other side. ย โSteven Rogers, you seem to have forgotten how many ways there are for me to kill you!โ
Part 2
Did I Say That Out Loud? (Steve Rogers x reader)
Request: Hi could I please have a Steve one shot where the reader is really badass LIKE REALLY BADASS and the whole team is so shocked bc this girl always keeps to herself and is meek but after one mission everyone is like wtf PLEASE THANK YOU I LOVE UR WRITING BABE
Warning: There will be a little swearing outburstโฆ
โ(Y/N)!โ
โ(Y/N), come on!โ
โ(Y/N)- oh, seriously! Does anyone know where she is?โ Steve huffed, completely frustrated with your tardiness for the third mission in a row. ย As you finally entered the hangar, your gear hanging loosely from your pack and your hair a complete mess, he stood with his hands on his hips at the jet door, blocking your entry.
โExcuse?โ
โI donโt haveโฆone, sir,โ you panted, trying to catch your breath from running the stairs. ย โI justโฆlost trackโฆof time.โ
Clint poked his head out from the jet, smirking at you from over Steveโs shoulder, โNose in a book again, you nerd?โ ย When you didnโt respond with the embarrassment or laugh that he was hoping for, he sulked away back to the pilot seat in defeat.
โLetโs just go, (Y/N),โ Steve relented, โone more time, and we need to have a talk.โ
โSir,โ you agreed, your head down and watching your feet as you quickly ducked past him and into a seat. Keeping your eyes averted as he passed by, you grabbed your tablet from your bag and returned to your work that had made you so late for this mission. ย Itโs not like they really needed you anyway; you werenโt a fighter, you were there for tactical support and intelligence acquisition. ย You had been studying with Bruce for a year before Ultron, and now that he hadnโt returned yet, you had taken his place working with Tony. ย The unlimited access to the lab and everything in it gave you enough side projects to last a lifetime.
โYou know what, Iโve changed my mind,โ Steve announced, dropping himself into the chair next to you, โletโs have a talk now.โ
You quickly returned your tablet to your bag and turned to face him, giving him your full attention and a small smile, trying to stay on his good side, if you were even there now. โSure, Captain. ย Iโm all yours.โ
The immediate flush of red in your cheeks had to be painfully obvious; youโd had a crush on Steve since your first day, and you did a good job of avoiding him as much as possible when you didnโt have to work together. ย Your whole body became hot from your overwhelming embarrassment and shyness. ย โI meanโฆI meantโฆIโm all ears. ย All. Ears.โ
โSo tell me, (Y/N), what are you working on that has you so enthralled that you forget when our departure times are? ย We knew about this four days ago.โ
โItโs nothing,โ you replied coyly, hoping that he wouldnโt dig any further and just wanting this moment to be over.
He eyed you suspiciously, deciding what he would say next. ย Rather than pry and ask more questions that would likely have more vague answers, he reached down into your pack and removed your tablet, standing quickly and taking it to the front of the jet.
โCap, donโt!โ you called after him, throwing off your harness and chasing after him. ย โSteve, give that back!โ ย You leaned over the back of his chair, pushing yourself forward to reach so that your feet were now dangling off the ground, but still unable to get a hold of your work. ย โSteve, come on!โ ย You were starting to panic when he wouldnโt release it, but now you were terrified when you saw his expression change and his posture straighten as he read.
โ(Y/N),โ he said quietly but sternly, โwhatโs this?โ
โItโs just a project. Itโs nothing.โ
โI donโt believe this,โ he sighed, turning to face you. ย โHave you succeeded? ย Have you really replicated the serum?โ ย Clint now turned to look at you as well, his mouth agape. ย โ(Y/N), answer me.โ
You slid back and dropped onto your feet, rubbing your hand over your face in frustration of your exposed secret and the need to explain something that they likely wouldnโt understand. ย โWell clearly not,โ you hissed, raising your arms up to show their lack of accentuated muscles. ย โDo you see any difference?โ ย Ripping the tablet from his hands, you returned to your seat and continued to work.
โYou canโt experiment on yourself. ย That never turns out well, (Y/N).โ
โWhat I do on my own time is my own business, Captain. ย Excuse me.โ You lifted the tablet to definitively show that you were finished with the conversation, and Steve chose not to push. He took his seat in the co-pilot position, looking out the window as Clint manned the controls.
โSo thatโs why sheโs never around?โ ย Clint asked. โSheโs locked up in the lab all the time?โ
An answer never came, as Steve continued to watch the sky until you came to a landing almost two hours later.
~~~
โOkay, (Y/N) and Natasha, you two can move in and collect the data and fry their systems while Clint and I secure the hostages.โ ย Steveโs eyes widened as you took a gun from Nat, securing it to your thigh. ย โ(Y/N), since when do you carry a weapon?โ
โSince now, I guess? I just have a feeling like I should have one this time.โ ย You gave him a small shrug as you jogged away, not really caring why it made a difference to him. ย โHow hard can it be, right?โ
โSheโs totally gonna shoot herself in the foot,โ Clint scoffed, slinging his bow over his shoulder, โI donโt think sheโs ever even held a gun.โ ย
All Steve could do was shake his head as he led them into the building, holding a finger to his lips to keep Clint quiet. ย โAre you in position?โ he whispered into his comm, โbe ready to move.โ ย As he reached the bottom of a long stairway, he saw his targets, keeping watch around a small group of hostages, bound and sitting on the floor. ย โBarton, go help the other two, I can manage this.โ
Clint nodded and left him there, waiting for the correct moment to strike. ย Once Steve had his plan of attack ready, he signaled you to go, quickly taking out three of his five opponents with ease, but losing the other two when they ran outside. ย โBarton, two on the run!โ
โIโm on it!โ
โCap, Nat and I are headed your way, weโre done here,โ you called to him, but there was no reply. ย โCap? ย Steve?โ You looked to Natasha and broke into a sprint to get to his side of the building, hoping that you werenโt going to find the worst outcome playing out. ย
He would have called for help, right? ย Maybe it was just a technical glitch. ย Maybe he was ambushed. ย Maybe you should stop thinking and just get there.
You took the stairs three at a time, practically throwing yourself down them to get there faster. ย When you reached the bottom, you stopped in your tracks, gasping at the sight of Steve on his knees with a gun to his head.
โHey guys,โ he said calmly. โIโm in a bit of a situationโฆโ
Without a second of thought, you pulled your gun from its holster and held it steady, ready to shoot the man who was directly behind Steve at the first chance of a clean shot. โStep away from the Captain, please.โ
โ(Y/N)โฆโ
โShut up, Steve,โ you said in a cool and even tone. ย โI said, step away.โ ย
โI donโt think that youโre in any position to make demands,โ the man said, pushing his gun forward more. โYouโre taking a gamble with your Captainโs life.โ
โDrop your gun before I blow your fucking head off.โ
Steve couldnโt hold his composure anymore; his eyes widened and his mouth hung open, looking at Nat who mirrored his expression. ย This was certainly a shift from the you that they were used to; the one who spent all day in the lab and kept pretty much to yourself unless on a mission. ย He wasnโt sure if he should be impressed or frightened.
โIโll give you five seconds-โ the man began, but you wouldnโt allow him to finish.
โDo you wanna go?โ you challenged, โdo you wanna go, you worthless little prick? ย You have the balls to go up against Captain America and think you have a shot at winning? ย How fucking stupid are you?โ
The manโs mouth hung open, clearly not expecting this type of resistance; he changed his plan, now raising his weapon at you. ย โI donโt think you understand-โ
โAlright, Iโm done,โ you snapped, pulling the trigger to land a shot square between his eyes. ย โIf youโre not going to listen, then thatโs what you get.โ
โOkay, Iโm thoroughly terrified,โ Nat chuckled. ย โ(Y/N), that wasโฆnew, to say the least.โ
Steve was still on his knees and still staring; looking at you as if it were the first time seeing you. โWhat the hell just happened?โ he whispered.
โI saved your ass. Your welcome.โ
โThanksโฆโ he replied, still uncertain of his voice. ย โUm, yeahโฆso, we should probably go.โ
Once the transport picked up the hostages and you were on the way back to the jet, not much was said; Steve looked lost in his own mind, Natasha was still impressed, and Clint was just confused because as luck would have it, he missed the whole thing. ย As soon as you were secured in your seat and in the air, you grabbed your tablet and returned to your research as if nothing had happened.
โCan I join you?โ
โYeah, Captain, go ahead.โ
He leaned forward in the seat, his arms resting on his legs as he started to wring his hands together. You watched him in your peripheral vision, waiting for him to begin the conversation, but when the wait grew too long, you took the initiative. ย โJust ask. I know what youโre going to say.โ
โ(Y/N), Iโve known you for a long time now, and Iโve never seen that from you. ย Donโt get me wrong, it was remarkable, but I donโt understand where it came from. ย I think you do.โ
You took a deep breath and dragged your finger across the tablet several times until you came to the information that Steve had seen earlier. ย โYou know that the serum is maximized by the use of Vita-Rays, but when used alone there are greater potentials for side-effects. ย I donโt have Vita-Rays at my disposal.โ ย You handed the tablet to him, as you continued, โit would seem that I might not have gained the strength, but my nervous system is at peak performance, meaning my senses, memory and muscle control are exceptional.โ
โThatโs why you had perfect aim despite never having shot a gun before,โ he said under his breath with a nod of understanding. ย โOkay, but even your personality was different. ย Is that a side-effect too?โ
โNo, I was just feeling bitchy,โ you laughed, โand I knew I had him so maybe I was a bit cocky too.โ
Steve leaned over and nudged you with his shoulder, giving you a wink, โdonโt tell anyone, but I kinda liked it. ย But seriously, thanks.โ
โYouโre welcome. ย If Bruce is right, these side-effects are likely permanent so I mightโฆโ Your voice trailed away at the realization of what you had just said, squeezing your eyes shut and hoping that he didnโt catch on.
โWhat did you just say?โ
โSide-effects are permanent?โ
โDo you know where he is, (Y/N)?โ he said in a solemn tone, almost sad that he had to ask.
โYes. ย Heโs safe and hidden and not coming back,โ you said firmly. โNow leave it, please.โ
Steve nodded his head and turned to you, taking your hand in his. ย You could feel the shake building inside of you and you worried that he would notice. ย โIโll leave it. ย But you need to do something for me. ย You need to leave this.โ ย He took the tablet and threw it in your pack, looking at you with determination to keep it there. ย โDo we have a deal? ย No more experiments. ย No more research.โ
โI owe it to Bruce to say yes, we have a deal.โ
โGreat,โ he said with renewed enthusiasm, standing to return to his seat. ย โTomorrow we can start planning your training with Nat. ย I think itโs time to move you out of the lab to be with the three-dimensional people.โ

Summary: You have a crush on Steve and you have your moments together but always seem to be interrupted by the team
"No Tony don't! Let me go!" You shrieked giggling as billionaire snatched you up in his arms and headed toward the end of the dock.
You and the rest of the Avengers had all decided you needed a well deserved break from saving the world. Tony naturally volunteered to have you all stay at his summer home in the Hamptons, and you being an Avenger were allowed to tag along.
You were a highly trained agent and could've escaped Tony's grasp easily, but of course that would take the fun out of things.
"No can do" Tony laughed reaching the edge of the water.
You clutched onto his neck. "I'll get you for this Stark" You said attempting to look serious until a smile crept across your face and you began to burst out laughing again.
In one swift motion Tony had unlatched your arms from him and tossed you in the water. You let out a girly scream as you were thrown into the water below. You held your breath and squeezed your eyes shut expecting to be submerged, but instead someone's strong arms ย caught you. You opened your eyes and met soft warm blue ones belonging to Steve. You blushed realizing you were pressed against Steve's muscled bare chest with him holding you bridal style in his arms.
You had quite the crush on the Captain, and he had no idea. No one did. Except Tony who had snuck in your room and read your diary which you later had got back at him for. So you landing in Steve's arm was no accident.
"You okay?" Steve said looking down on you a small smile playing his lips.
You chuckled. "Thanks to you I am" You said the blush turning you a deep shade of red.
"Well I better finish the job" He said smiling. "Can't leave a lady stranded in the water"
"Why of course not" You said giggling.
Steve proceeded to swim with you in his arms back to the shore. He set you down gently on the warm sand.
"There you go" He said with a smile.
"Thanks" You whispered blush dusting your cheeks. ย
"Hey great you're out of the water, Capsicle can you come help me with something?" Tony yelled from the porch.
Steve rolled his eyes playfully. "Gotta go. I'll see you later" He said with a small wave walking toward the house.
"See ya" You said smiling watching him walk away.
Once he was gone you collapsed in the sand a smile plastered across your face.
~~~A few hours later~~~
"I can't believe I'm doing this" Natasha mumbled to herself. "I'm a highly trained assassin and I'm about to be involved in a water war"
"Oh come on Nat" You said leaning your head on your best friends shoulder. "If you're so good, this shouldn't be a problem. Come on it'll be fun"
She smirked rolling her eyes. "Fine"
"Alright everyone" Tony announced. "Now we'll pick teams, I'll naturally be a team captain and Natasha you can be the other one"
Natasha rolled her eyes making you chuckle as she walked over to stand next to Tony, her water gun slung on her back.
"Okay I want Capsicle, Thor, and Banner" Tony said pointing all of then out.
"Tony what was the point of picking team captains if you already knew it was going to be me, Clint, and Y/n?" Natasha said clearly annoyed.
"Nevermind that. Okay, so war begins in ten minutes. Use this time wisely to plan. See ya on the battlefield" Tony said squirting his gun into the air.
You, Clint, and Natasha walked off in the opposite direction of Stark's team to stake out your base behind some trees.
"So what's our strategy?" Clint said checking out his gun.
Natasha rolled her eyes. "Please. Clint this is a piece of cake. No strategy needed, just shoot them"
"Well you're no fun" Clint said rolling his eyes and giving a playful glance toward you. "Y/n what's out strategy?"
"Well" You said with a smirk. "I was thinking of climbing this tree and taking them by surprise from above while you two get them on the ground"
"Excellent. Hear that Tasha" Clint said squirting her on the cheek.
Natasha gave him a death glare wiping the water from her face. "Yeah I heard it. Come on let's just win this thing"
You nodded at the both of them as you began to scale the tree with your water gun slung over your back. Once you reached a fairly good height you perched yourself between two branches concealed by the leaves.
"You ready to lose?" Tony yelled from across the lawn.
"Put your money where your mouth is Stark" Natasha yelled back poising her gun ready to aim.
"Always do" Tony assured her. "On my count. One. Two. Three. Go"
At Tony's mark both teams sprung into action. Natasha instantly aiming for Tony which he easily ducked. Clint was rolling on the ground avoiding Bruce and Thor's attempts to hit him. Steve on the other hand was nowhere to be found. You watched Tony crack out a bucket of water balloons and toss them toward both Clint and Natasha. You finally spotted Steve just beneath your tree trying to sneak up on Clint and Natasha from behind. You chuckled to yourself. Always thinking like a solider you thought.
You aimed your gun at his back and took the shot soaking him all over. He instantly turned around and looked up as you jumped down from the tree.
"Hey no fair" He laughed wiping the water from his eyes.
You giggled as you started to run away to avoid the water from Steve's gun. "Just as fair as sneaking up on everyone from behind" You said calling over your shoulder.
Steve shook his head and started to run after you. Despite the fact that you had a head start and you were running as fast as you could, Steve caught up to you in a matter of strides and threw you over his shoulder.
"Hey put me down" You giggled trying to squirm from Steve's tight grasp.
After quite a bit of squirming you managed to free yourself and ended up falling onto the grass taking Steve with you. You landed in the lush green grass with Steve on top of you, his body lightly pressed against yours. You both blushed but neither one of you moved. Steve's blue eyes locked with yours and small content smiles crept on both your faces. He gently pushed a loose strand of hair out of your face cupping your cheek and started to lean in toward you. When his lips were only inches from yours a cold sensation spread through your entire body. Clint had dumped and entire bucket of ice water on you and Steve dousing you in freezing water and leaving both of you soaked.
Your mouth opened in shock unable to form words. "Clint" You finally managed to yell.
"Oh sorry Y/n didn't see you there" He said chuckling. "Well good news is we won" He said high fiving ย Natasha.
You sighed letting your head fall back into the grass. Steve gently pushed himself off you and offered you a hand which you gladly accepted.
The rest of the team came over and joined you, Clint, Natasha, and Steve. You were absolutely freezing and excused yourself to go dry off and get warm.
As you walked away you touched your fingertips to your lips remembering the feeling of Steve's lips inches from yours. You had wanted him to kiss you so badly but Clint had doused you in ice water. It seemed like every time you were getting close to Steve someone would interrupt you, and every time you were minding your own business someone would come and mess with you two. Whatever the reason was you were going to find out. ย
~~Later that night~~
You were laying on the beach and it was pitch black except for the embers dying down from the bonfire you'd all had earlier. It had to have been at least one in the morning, but you didn't care. You wanted to watch the stars. You didn't get to see starts like this back in the tower. It was always too bright from all the city lights. This was absolutely breathtaking.
"Mind if I join you" A voice called out from in the dark.
"Oh Steve, you scared me" You said sitting up in the sand.
"Sorry ma'am" He said laying down in the sand next to you.
"It's okay" You said blushing at him calling you ma'am. You always blushed when he called you that.
"I didn't know you like to look at the stars" Steve said resting his hands behind his head.
"I didn't know you did either" You said laying back down.
"Well" He chuckled. "It kinda reminds me of when I was younger when me and Bucky used to sneak out at night to look at them. If there's one thing that hasn't changed in all these years, it's the stars" He said gazing up at them with a smile.
"Absolutely beautiful" You said turning your gaze to look back up where Steve was.
But Steve was no longer looking at the stars. He was looking at you. "Yeah" He said softy.
You turned to him blushing realizing he was talking about you.
"Can I tell you something" He said his body slightly moving closer to yours.
"Of course" You said seeing the stars reflected in his eyes.
"Ever since I woke up from that ice I've been terrified. I didn't know where I was or what I was fighting, but the only thing that made sense was you. You were the only one who didn't treat me like a lost puppy. You treated me like a person. You helped me a lot Y/n and I don't know where I'd be without you. What I'm trying to say is that....I love you"
You smiled feeling the tears well up in your eyes. "I love you too Steve. I always have"
Steve smiled back at you leaning in to close the gap between the two of you. Your eyes fluttered shut as his soft lips gently pressed against yours in a sweet kiss. A warm feeling spread through your entire body as you rested your hands on his arms. It wasn't a particularly long kiss, but no one had ever kissed you like that before so it didn't matter. When you both pulled away Steve rested his forehead against yours.
"I've waited a long time to do that" He said smiling.
"Me too" You said running a hand through his soft blond locks.
Steve pulled you into his arms and you snuggled up against him taking in his familiar scent. You both stayed like this for the rest of the night under the stars alongside the dying fire.
When you and Steve went hand and hand back inside at dawn Tony, Clint and Natasha were all sitting on the couch.
Natasha smirked at the two of you. "Alright Stark, Clint pay up"
Tony sighed. "Fine"
"You too Clint" Natasha said ย extending her hand over toward him.
You and Steve both looked at them with puzzled looks on your faces.
"What was that about?" You said looking at Natasha.
"Well Clint and Tony bet me that they would be the ones to get you two together and I said that you two would get together on your own. Clearly I won. I had to stop them from going out their to interrupt you"
"Wait how did you know we were out there?" You said glaring at the boys.
"What do you think that telescope is for?" Tony said gesturing toward his fancy telescope. "It's certainly not for watching the stars if that's what you thought"
You rolled your eyes and buried your face in Steve's shirt letting out a soft laugh.
You were glad Tony had suggested you all took some time off. You were even more glad that you'd always have Steve by your side.
