Fluffuary 2026: Day 15

Day 15: Caught in the Rain

Pairing: Steve Rogers X Reader

Prompt: You and Steve take time to appreciate the simple things on a rainy day.

A/N: Day 15, halfway through these prompts! It's crazy to think that its halfway through January already. Reader is a former Red Room assassin, no use of y/n.

Masterlist

In the early morning, the Avengers Compound was quiet. Everyone is either asleep or in the training room. The only noise heard was the sound of the raindrops on the roof. 

You decided to go outside with your cup of coffee, drinking the hot liquid in the covered area. You could feel a light mist hit your skin from where the breeze had carried it towards you. You took a breath, soaking in the peaceful environment. A drastic contrast from the place you were raised, the Red Room. All of the hair on the back of your neck stood up as you thought about it. You hadn’t even noticed the door opening until a familiar voice was heard. “You’re up early.” 

It wasn’t unusual for Steve to be up at this time. The man was normally up earlier than everyone, besides maybe Bucky. The super soldier serum made them not have to sleep as much as those without it. You nodded in greeting, “I’m surprised that you aren’t in the training room, beating up defenseless punching bags.” 

That comment made a small smirk go over his face, “Already did that.” Of course he did. He leaned closer and lowered his voice like he was telling you a secret, “And I only beat up the ones that deserve it.” 

You chuckled, making Steve softly smile. It made him happy to hear you laugh, even if it was at something small. The silence that lingered afterwards was a comfortable one as you listened to the rain coming down. You took another breath, “It’s nice, the rain.” Steve made a small noise in agreement, “Yeah. Reminds me of when I was younger. There was a couple that lived across the street from where I grew up in Brooklyn. The man had her slow dance with him, no music, just out there in the rain. Simpler times.” 

“Sounds sweet.” You looked over at him, “Have you ever done it? Danced in the rain with a girl, I mean.” The blonde super soldier shook his head, “Never had the chance to, always running from mission to mission.” You had danced before, they used ballet as a training method in the Red Room, a way to teach discipline and control. You had never danced with a man in the rain though.

He took your now empty coffee mug and sat it down on the metal bench outside the doors of the compound. When he returned by your side, he offered his hand. You looked from his hand to his face, “You want me to dance in the rain with you?” He nodded, “If you would do me the honor.” You contemplated it before finally putting your hand in his, following as he led you out into the cool rain. As the gentleman he was, he kept his hand in a respectful place on your waist as the other hand held your smaller one. Your left hand was in the bend of his neck, your fingers able to feel the ends of the hair there. 

You watched as his gaze tracked a droplet as it ran down your cheek. It was almost overwhelming. The way his blue eyes looked into yours, the way he held you. It could almost make you forget the terrors that you have seen. His soft smile as he gently led you in a slow dance even when the rain was soaking through your clothes. This was different, but the good kind.

Fluffuary 2026: Day 13

Day 13: Confessions

Pairing: Bucky Barnes X Girlfriend Reader

Prompt: You give Bucky an unforgettable gift for his birthday.

A/N: I know it's a little late on posting, but I got it done. I feel good about this one. Established relationship, no use of y/n, just some good old fluff.

Masterlist

Bucky could tell something was off about you lately. His enhanced senses picked up another scent. He would normally write this off as you changing your shampoo or body wash, but he couldn’t. Not this time, not when you were even acting differently.

Today was his birthday. The super soldier got up from the bed, noticing that your side of the bed was empty. He was shirtless, just wearing a gray pair of sweatpants. When he got to the kitchen, he realized that you had gotten up to cook him breakfast. You were talking to Wanda on the phone, but you quickly spoke when you noticed he was in the room, “Hey, Wanda. He’s up. I’ll talk to you later, ok?” With that the call ended. 

“Doll, you would tell me if anything was wrong, right?” He asked, coming up behind you as you made food. His arms wrapped around you, his chin resting against your shoulder. You nodded, softly smiling, “Yes, Buck.”

You and him gently swayed back and forth as you made eggs, bacon, and french toast. Bucky looked over the food, “You're making the good stuff. What’s the occasion?” 

“I can’t just make breakfast for my boyfriend on his birthday?” You plated the food, handing one of them to him. Your heart picked up, hoping he wasn’t going to find out what you were hiding before you could tell him. You knew he noticed it. 

“What are you not telling me?” Bucky put his plate on the table, his hands returned to your waist. “You smell different, you’re acting weird. Even right now, you're nervous.”

You pressed a kiss to his lips to stop his rant, “Eat your breakfast before it gets cold, love. And I’ll go get your gift” That seemed to catch his attention for a moment, “You got me something?” You let out a small huff of a laugh, happy that his attention seemed to be averted for the moment, “It’s your birthday, of course I got you something.”

Bucky sighed, putting his worry on the back burner for now. He sat down at the table, starting to eat the food you made him as you went to go get his gift. The box was small, Bucky wondered what it could be. He pushed the plate to the side, lifting the top off of it. What was in the box made his eyes widen. You took your seat, fidgeting with a string on your pants as you were watching for his reaction. 

It was a folded onesie, the words ‘Baby Barnes Coming Soon’ on it. All of the information came back to him. The nervousness, the sweet smell that he picked up, how sick you’ve been. It all made sense now. “You’re pregnant?” 

Tears pricked at the corners of your eyes as you nodded, “Yeah. We’re having a baby, Sergeant.” He put down the box and gently pulled you to sit in his lap, “Oh my god, doll.” He pulled you into him, holding you tightly. “This is the best news ever.” And it was. With his past, he hadn’t thought of having a child. His steel blue eyes also teared up, unable to hold back his joy at being able to become a father.

You took a breath of relief, now fully crying happily, “I know we weren’t trying or anything, but-” It was Bucky’s turn to kiss you. His metal hand went from your waist to cup your cheek as he pulled back, wiping your tears as he spoke softly, “No matter how this baby came to be, they are a miracle. And I will love them and you for the rest of my life. You are giving me the best gift that I could have ever asked for.” He kissed you again, pouring all of his emotions into the kiss. It was definitely an unforgettable birthday.

Fluffuary 2026: Day 11

Day 11: Pillow Fight (Alternative Prompt)

Pairing: Yelena Belova X Reader

Prompt: When you hit Yelena with a pillow, don’t be surprised if she turns it to full out war.

A/N: Day 11's prompt was originally supposed to be true love, but I didn't know how I was going to go about that. Soooo I decided to do an alternative prompt for today, which is pillow fight. I wanted to try my hand at writing Yelena. Hopefully everyone likes it! Let me know how I did. 😊

Masterlist

You and Yelena were laying on the couch in the Watchtower, both facing each other as you relaxed between missions. Both of you were looking at your phones. You were closer to her than any of the other Thunderbolts. Your eyes glanced between her and the pillow, the impulsive urge to smack her with the soft object coming up in your mind. 

Yelena didn’t even have to look at you before saying, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” You looked back at your phone, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

Another minute went by, the urge happened again. You sighed because this time, you couldn’t ignore it. You took the pillow next to you and swung it to hit her in the shoulder. The former red room widow slowly looked up and calmly said, “You shouldn’t have done that, dorogaya.” You smirked lightly at the Russian term meaning sweetheart.

One second, the room was quiet and calm. The next, both of you were attacking each other with the pillows that were closest to you. Feathers were flying all over the place from the broken seams of the rustling fabric. You and Yelena were laughing as she tackled you to the floor, Yelena landed next to you. The room was now a mess. Feathers, ripped pillows, and the two of you were laying there looking up at the ceiling. Yelena sighed contently as she looked over at you, “All that pillow fighting made me hungry.” You nodded, starting to get up, “Me too. Help me clean this up and we can make Mac and cheese with sriracha?” The blonde Russian smiled at the offer of her favorite food, “Sounds good. Let’s do this.”

[marvelimagines]

Fluffuary 2026: Day 9

Day 9: Cuddles

Pairing: Steve Rogers X Reader

Prompt: Your boyfriend finds you asleep at one of Tony's parties and brings you back to your room.

A/N: Day 9, it was a little harder to write since I had no idea where to take this one, but I got it done. I hope everyone likes this one. Established relationship, no use of y/n, pet names (sweetheart, stevie)

Masterlist

Tony was throwing one of his extravagant parties, the ones he was always known for. Lots of people talking, playing games, loud music, and drinking expensive booze that he splurged on. 

You were more of an introvert, wanting to go back to your room and snuggle up with a book. However, attendance by all team members was required by Tony. You ended up going, sitting on a couch off to the side and reading on your phone. You glanced to where your boyfriend, Steve, played pool with Bucky and Sam. He was having a good time, so you continued to read your book. No one even noticed when you started falling asleep, the phone slipping out of your hand onto the fabric of the couch cushion under you. 

Steve looked over at you. Your head leaned forward, chin touching your chest, and your hand still in the position of where it had been holding your phone. He chuckled softly, shaking his head as he whispered, “You’re such a mess, sweetheart.” He wondered how you were able to fall asleep like that to begin with, even the midst of the loud party. 

The blonde super soldier grabbed your phone and put it in his pocket before preparing to lift you off the couch. Steve gently said, “Let’s get you to bed.” You stirred slightly but settled once you realized who was holding you. He was trying not to jostle you too much as he carried you through the Compound to your room. 

Once he was able to get into your door, he gently kicked the door closed behind him and laid you down on your bed, removing your shoes before tucking the light purple sheets around you. He stood back up straight and placed your phone on the bedside table within easy reach for when you woke up. He prepared himself to go back to his own room when he heard your soft mumble.

“Stay, Stevie.” You mumbled in your sleep. Steve paused, debating whether he should or not before giving in. He couldn’t refuse, not when you softly requested it like that. He removed his jacket and his shoes before sliding in the bed next to you. 

“Ok. I’ll be right here when you wake up, sweetheart.” He kissed you on the forehead before gently slipping his arm over your waist, bringing you to his chest. He held you like that for a while, enjoying the familiar feeling of your body against his. He watched the peaceful expression on your face as you slept. It was vastly different when you were awake, always dealing with the stress that comes with missions and life. Steve kissed the top of your head before finally joining you in sleep.

Fluffuary 2026: Day 7

Day 7: Anniversary

Pairing: Bucky Barnes X Reader

Prompt: Bucky asks you something that will change everything.

A/N: Day 7, this one took a little longer to write as I just wanted to capture Bucky properly for it. Established relationship, no use of y/n, nervous Bucky. I hope everyone likes it!

Masterlist

“Doll, I mean it. Keep those pretty eyes closed.” Bucky’s voice was filled with mock frustration. 

“Bucky, love, where are we?” You giggled as he told you to keep your eyes closed, finding it adorable how hard he was trying in order to keep the surprise. He had already taken you to eat at your favorite restaurant, but Bucky hadn’t told you where he was taking you next for your two-year anniversary. He was holding your hand, leading you somewhere. You only had the slight breeze of the outdoors to go off of, the sound of water running. He guided you up a slight step to stand in a certain spot, “Now, you can open your eyes.”

You opened your eyes to see the gazebo of the Avengers Compound, the surrounding flower gardens in bloom. The water feature pulled it all together. The battle-hardened soldier in front of you was unusually nervous, studying your reaction, "Happy anniversary." Your eyes were looking everywhere before settling back on him, your lips going into a soft smile, “It's beautiful, Bucky.” 

“Not as beautiful as you, doll.” He held your hand, taking a shaky breath before starting the speech that he had rehearsed in the mirror for the last week, “We’ve been going out for two years, and to this day…I don’t know what I did to deserve you.” You wanted to tell him differently, but you stayed quiet to let him continue, “But I'm grateful that you have stayed with me through everything. I know that I’m not the easiest person to love, but I love you so much and I will continue to spend every day trying to be the man that you need. The man that you deserve.” 

Your breath hitched as he got down on one knee and pulled out a black velvet box. Bucky's steel blue eyes were on you as he opened it to show you a beautiful ring, “Will you make this old super soldier the luckiest man alive by marrying me?” You teared up happily, nodding, “Yes, Bucky. A thousand times, yes.” He slipped the ring on to your finger and stood up, kissing you deeply. The two of you then went back to your shared room to celebrate properly.

[marvelimagines]

Fluffuary 2026: Day 5

Day 5: Reunion

Pairing: Bucky Barnes X Girlfriend! Reader

Prompt: When you are taken by Hydra, Bucky doesn't stop until you are safe in his arms.

A/N: I would say this one is more bordering angst/fluff than actually being full fluff. This is just where my brain went when I saw the word 'reunion'. Reader is sedated, established relationship, no use of y/n. Thank you for reading.

Masterlist

You were taken by Hydra on a mission. Your abilities, Avenger status, and your closeness to Bucky made you the perfect target. It had been a week since then. The team’s efforts were all on trying to find you. Scanners, facial recognition softwares, everything. 

Bucky didn’t focus on anything else. He couldn’t. Steve and Sam have to try and get him to eat by bringing him food. Getting him to go shower and take care of himself by taking over in his absence. “We’re gonna find her, Buck.” 

Bucky hit the table, his metal hand making a dent in the previously flat surface, “You can’t promise that!” His jaw was tight as he ran his flesh hand through his hair, “This is Hydra we are talking about, Steve. Those goddamn bastards kept me there for almost 70 years.” Bucky took a shaky breath, trying to hold back his fears, “If something happens to her…” As he started pacing, the screens started beeping. The facial recognition software on the Stark’s network had picked up two of the guys who were there that day, carrying a limp body towards what looked to be an abandoned building. You. They didn’t waste any time before writing the coordinates down and calling the team to go check it out. Steve was going to suggest Bucky stay there, but knew it wouldn’t go over well.

When they arrived, they scoured through the halls of the Hydra base. Steve was at the front, taking out enemy agents as they went. Sam and Tony were in the air, keeping an eye on the surrounding area. Sam sent Redwing out, having the drone scan the heat signatures in the building, “Cap, down the hall to your right, there’s a large room. A weak heat signature.” 

Bucky immediately made his way down that hallway, ignoring Steve as he tried to call him back. He called out your name once, his voice full of worry. He heard a small reply, “Buck?” You were out of it from the sedatives they had kept you on. He gunned down the guards with his M249 Paratrooper, a hint of the Winter Soldier’s brutality as he moved through the room over to the cell where they were keeping you. He used his vibranium arm to rip open the cell door, “It’s ok, doll. I’m here now. We’re gonna get you out of here.” He dropped to his knees next to you, quickly wrapping his arms around you. You returned his embrace weakly, sobbing in relief as you realized he was actually there and not a hallucination. You were safe. 

His grip on you tightened slightly as if to remind himself that you were there in his arms. That you weren’t going to disappear as soon as he opened his eyes, “I thought…” He had to stop the emotions building up in him. The rest of his sentence unspoken as he held you. I thought I had lost you. He kissed you deeply, the emotions conveying through the kiss. 

The moment was broken as Steve came in, “As much as I hate to break this up, we need to get her out of here and to the med bay.” Bucky nodded sharply, adjusting his hold on you to be able to carry you. Even though his body was filled with rage at Hydra, he handled you gently. He carried you out of the cell, one arm at your back and the other under your legs. You buried your face in his neck, mumbling the words, “I love you.” He didn’t miss a beat despite the severity of the situation, “I love you too, doll. More than anything.” He walked with you in his arms, following Steve to safety. 

[marvelimagines]

Fluffuary 2026: Day 3

Day 3: Love At First Sight

Pairing: Steve Rogers X Reader

Prompt: Steve Rogers finds someone that makes him feel something he hasn't felt in a really long time

A/N: Day 3, feeling good. Had a rough time trying to figure out how to go about this. I almost had to use an alternative prompt, but I didn't! I hope you guys enjoy this one. Everyone lives in the Compound in this, and no one is dead.  Again, I'm doing every other day, so there won't be any even number days for this challenge. 

Masterlist

They say that eyes are the windows to the soul, the place where a person is most vulnerable. Even the eyes of the strongest people can show the cracks in the wall they put up to not show any weakness. 

  ------------

You were new to the Avengers Compound, only having met a handful of the Avengers. Today you would be introduced to the ones who had been on a mission when you arrived. This included Steve, Sam, Nat, and Bucky. For now, you were looking at each of the files that you had been given while you waited for Tony to be out of his meeting. The folders had general summaries of their pasts and abilities. 

You took a mental note of each of them as you picked up the last one, “Steven Grant Rogers, aka Captain America.”

He’s really hot. You tried to shake the thought, but it wasn’t easy. The super soldier was definitely attractive. You were torn from your thoughts as Tony knocked on the door. He then spent a good portion of the afternoon showing you around.

                                                     ------------   

A Quinjet touched down outside on the landing pad, not far from the training grounds. Steve, Nat, Bucky, and Sam walked down the ramp as the engine turned off. The group was talking about the mission details as they walked towards the building. Steve stopped walking as he caught a glimpse of you. The others’ voices faded as he took everything in. The way the sound of your laugh made his heart almost skip a beat. How you held yourself with such grace. 

“Who’s that?” He gestured over to you, the others looking to see who he was talking about. You were walking with Tony, being shown around the Compound’s training grounds. No matter how hard he tried, Steve couldn’t take his eyes off of you. He hadn’t felt this way since, well since before he went into the ice. Bucky shrugged, muttering as he studied the person who caught his best friend's attention, “New recruit.”

“You good there, Rogers? Staring kinda hard.” Nat crossed her arms over her chest. It was no secret that the former Red Room operative had previously made a move on the super soldier, but she could tell that you were different. No one had caught Steve’s attention like this before. The blonde super soldier usually preferred to keep his distance, still not fully knowing how to interact with a woman in the modern dating world.

“Yeah, and normally Buck’s the one with the staring problem.” Sam said, his signature smirk on his face as he tried to get under Bucky’s skin. Bucky glared at him, but he couldn’t deny it. His response to Sam was lost on Steve as the other three walked into the Compound, leaving him standing there.

Steve contemplated walking inside, but it was like his body was on autopilot. He made his way over to where you and Tony were. And when you looked up at him with those beautiful eyes and smiled? Yep, Steve knew he was a goner.

Fluffuary 2026 : Day 1

Day 1: Gift Giving

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Prompt: The Thunderbolts decide to do a Secret Santa this year, prompting you to give Bucky a thoughtful gift.

A/n: This is day 1 of Fluffuary 2026. I decided that I'm going to only do the odd days, so I can get back into the swing of things without fully committing to the full 31 days. This is fully fluff, no use of y/n, and i hope you enjoy.

Masterlist

The Thunderbolts had decided on doing a Secret Santa gift exchange this year. Yelena said, “Come on, it would be cool.” Her voice with the usual Russian tilt. Now here you were, you had all pulled a name out of a hat, that was the person you were supposed to buy for. You had opened your little piece of paper to see Bucky written on it. This would prove to be a little harder than most, Bucky wasn’t the most open when it came to things he wanted. You would have to do a little digging. What would he want? 

Over the next week, you thought back to different times you had interacted with the supersoldier. In one of your first interactions with the supersoldier, he had been talking to Sam about going after the Flagsmashers. At the time, you had tried to block it out since they had just been going back and forth for so long, sarcastic comments flying left and right as it always did between the two. One part stuck out to you now, Sam had asked him how he knew about Gandalf. To which Bucky responded with, “I read The Hobbit, in 1937, when it first came out.” You could see the thinly veiled interest in his eyes even behind the mask of indifference he kept up most of the time. 

You received a gift basket which included a mug, a box of your favorite candy and a 25 dollar gift card to your favorite coffee shop from Bob. Thoughtful and Sweet. It had been sitting on your bed in your room. You made a mental note to thank him when you saw him. Now to give Bucky his gift, you picked up the gift you had wrapped and headed to his room to drop it off. You knocked on the door. He opened it, his eyes went from your face to the present in your hand, “Hey. What is this?” You held it out for him, nervous about whether or not he would like it, “I got you for Secret Santa, I was just dropping it off for you.”

He brushed it off, but took the gift gently from your hand, "You didn't have to actually get me anything, doll." 

You shrugged, but the nickname made your heart flutter, "I wanted to. Plus, it wouldn’t have been fair if you didn’t get anything." He unwrapped the gift, ripping the red and white striped paper you had chosen and revealing a first edition copy of The Hobbit. He tilted his head, his brows furrowed, “How did you…” His mind mentally trying to work out how you knew he liked it. 

"I overheard you talking to Sam about reading it when it first came out. Thought you might like to have a copy of it now." The mask slipped for just a moment, and you could see that he was genuinely surprised. He wasn’t used to anyone caring enough to pay attention to the things he liked or wanted. Bucky ran a hand through his dark hair, “I didn’t think you would remember that… Thanks, doll.” You smiled softly as his lips twitched up into a small smile, “Anytime, Buck. I’ll let you get back to what you were doing.” You started walking away, wanting to give him his space. He watched you go before looking at the book in his hands, Bucky decided to make sure that you knew how grateful he was for it. To anybody else, this book was just like any other book. To him, it was a sign that you wanted to be there. That you cared enough to make that he got a gift that he liked. Which to Bucky, this book meant everything.

This is a multifandom event for January because we couldn’t find any others for this month! You’re free to post for any fandom, ship, platonic pairing, or whatever else! No minimum or maximum word counts. The only restriction is the fic must be fluffy, and absolutely no generative A.I. usage.

Hurt/comfort is allowed, but with a focus on the comfort please. N/SFW both allowed, but be sure to tag properly. Minors please do not submit or interact with NSFW submissions.

Sexually explicit RPF involving real minors is not allowed.

Though this was made with the intention of being a writing challenge, all art forms are welcome! Writing, art, edits, whatever else!

We follow the classic fandom rule: Don’t Like, Don’t Read/Interact. We will not police what you choose to write about, as long as it’s fluffy and properly tagged. Harassment of any kind is not allowed, and if you are found harassing others you will be blocked and works removed from the Ao3 collection.

Our tag is #fluffuary2026 Please make sure you do NOT put a space between fluffuary and 2026 or we may not see your post. Use our hashtag and tag us for the best chance of us seeing your works and reblogging them.

Yes, we will be reblogging posts we see but please keep in mind we are only two people and may miss some. If a day or two has gone by without us reblogging your post, send an ask to our inbox with a link to the post please!

Last submissions are welcome but unfortunately, for the sake of organization, we will not be reblogging those works! Early submissions are welcome too!

You do not have to write for every single day! Write for one day, write for five days, or write for them all if you wish. Furthermore, you can bend and twist the prompts however you need — don’t worry about if you’re getting too far off base. This event is for fun at the end of the day, participate however you want to.

I'm still here!

Hey everybody! I know that it's been a while since I last posted. Don't worry, I'm still here. I've just had a lot of stuff going on and haven't been able to write/post anything. I've had everything from chronic pain flare ups, writer's block, and now I'm in the middle of moving. I figured I would make a post to let those that are waiting on requests that I'll get on those soon. Thank you everybody for being so patient. :)

Out of Time

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Summary: You find Steve in the training room during one of Tony's parties.

A/N: Fluff.

Masterlist

Tony was throwing of his usual parties at the compound, celebrating another victory for the Avengers. All of the team was in attendance, well almost all of them. You looked around, not seeing one crucial member.

Where is Steve? You questioned.

You saw Sam and Bucky, his two closest friends. He's not with them. You checked a few other places you thought he could be, but he wasn't to be seen. You left the party quietly, not wanting to draw attention to yourself. You were about to check his room when you heard the familiar sound of someone punching a punching bag. Ah ok.

You went down the hall and stepped into the training room, the man inside oblivious to your presence. He was in gray sweatpants and a short-sleeved shirt, his regular workout clothes. His fists were hitting the bag with a precision and fierceness you had come to expect from the trained soldier. You leaned against the wall, crossing your arms over your chest, "What did that bag ever do to you?" Your question broke him from the thoughts he was having.

His fist paused in mid swing as he heard your voice, not connecting with the swinging bag. He turned to look at you, taking in the dress you were wearing. He glanced away, not wanting to be caught staring, "What are you doing down here?" You stepped closer, walking more into the room, "Looking for you. The party's upstairs, you know." He gave a small huff, "I'm not in the mood for a party tonight." You could tell there was something more.

"Talk to me, Steve. What's wrong?" You asked him as you sat on the bench. He stayed standing, taking a drink of water from his bottle, "Its just hard to celebrate when things are going on." You considered his words, thinking over what he could've meant by that, "What do you mean? We just took down Hydra, it's a win."

He avoided your gaze, "I don't mean physical things, darlin'." You ignored the feeling that the pet name gave you, focusing on the task at hand, "So what is it?" He sighed, sitting next to you, "I just feel... out of time here, out of place. Like I'm living somebody else's life, not mine." You put your hand on his in support, staying quiet to allow him to continue, "My life was put on hold when I went into the ice, and ever since I came out... I just haven't felt like I'm living it for myself anymore." He flipped over his hand, taking your smaller hand into his bigger one.

You sighed, wishing you had answers for him, "I know it's not the life you thought you would have, but its yours. Maybe its time you start doing stuff that you like doing, and try not to care about who it pleases. You can't keep living your life for other people." You offered the advice, gently squeezing his hand.

"There's just so much pressure on me to do the right thing. To be Captain America, the beacon of hope." His words made your heart hurt. You rubbed your thumb over his still wrapped knuckles, "You're still Steve Rogers, the man. You get to decide what you do with your life, not everybody else."

He took a breath, "I don't know where to start though."

An idea crossed your mind, "You still have that little notebook?" The notebook had a list of everything he still needed to catch up on in today's world. He looked back over at you, trying to figure out where this was going, "Yes." You stood up, using his hand to pull him to his feet, "Come on. Grab your stuff and lets go."

He was confused as he stood with you, but did what you said nonetheless, "Where are we going?" You gave a soft smile as you explained, "I know that you have a lot of stuff to catch up on, there's gotta be some things on that list of yours that you'll enjoy doing."
