A/N: I give the reader some superpowers, I hope it’s alright with you. Also, I think it’s some happy AU where nobody died, IW & EG never happened, and everything worked out happily after Civil War, so Bucky is also there as an Avenger. Only mentioning him, but still, thought it’s better to say it. Hope you guys like it! Oh right, a few days and it’s the Cap’s B-Day, I wanted to post on 4th of July, but couldn’t wait. So Happy B-Day to our Angel, Steve Rogers!
I’m working on a Stephen Strange one too, a few days and it Will be posted too.. I mean I hope it will...
Warnings: I think not cursing may be appear, I’m sorry, I have a dirty mouth. If anyone notices any triggering stuff, please let me know. Teeny tiny heartbreak? It gets cured tho’… maybe a few sexual reference.
When I joined the Avengers, I couldn’t even believe, that I become a part of the team. It was awesome, everybody was so nice, and welcoming. Which was a bit weird, because usually people tend to judge me easily by the way I look, the way I dress or by the fact that I am cooler than them. It’s not my fault that everybody seems to be jealous because of my tattoos and such.
In my early teens when my friend showed me a rock band, first I didn’t even liked it. But for some reason it stuck in my head, so I started to listen the bands other songs. And I liked them. Really really liked them. That was the first push for me to become a rocker. Although I didn’t even know this term until somebody called me that. I always prefered the darker clothes, so wearing black wasn’t a big change for me, I just liked it. And all the bands I listened to, the members happened to wear the same kind of ripped jeans. Then as I got older, I couldn’t resist, I had to get a tattoo. Since I was sixteen I was asking my parenst to let me get one. But I couldn’t get until I become eighteen. But after I got my first one, there was no stop.
I couldn’t help it. They all had a meaning. Some of them had bigger, some of them almost not at all, but they all made me happy, so it doesn’t really mattered. I also got one after I joined the Avengers. Why did I joined? I think the real question is why could I join?
My superpowers were the reason. They were.. Well, the best description I can give is like how a banshee screams, I radiate sound., I don’t even have to open my mouth. It can be as high, as low as I want, the thing is that whatever I want the person to do, I just radiate that frequency in their direction, and they have to do it. Nothing really serious just if I want them to fall asleep, they fall asleep. If I want them to calm down I can just send a calming sound, or like melody in their way, and they calm down. It can be very useful, but like every powers these have it’s borders, and downhills. I learned to control my powers pretty early, so nobody really get hurt. Not until I joined the avengers.
Like I said everybody was nice, which is true, Tony often accompanied me for concerts, and as I figured even Nat liked my taste in music. Sometimes we even shared clothes, which was cool. One person’s opinion however I didn’t know. And I always thought that I am a cool chick, who is not scared of anything or anyone. I had to learn that I am afraid of Steve Rogers. Yes, Captain America himself. It’s not like that he was rude or something, more like the opposite. But we were so different, and sometimes I catched him as his eyes linger on my tattoos, or the my clothes, which were.. different he was used to. But he never really said anything bad about them, but for some reason I could feel that he doesn’t like them very much. Of course I know that he grew up in a different time, but it still hurt a bit.
Especially after all the nice things he had done for me. We spent a lot of time together when I was just starting here, he practiced with me a lot. Showed me how to fight properly. Yeah Natahsa could also teach me, but for some reason I was training with the one and only Captain America. We went running, which were killing at first. And after a while, theye were still killing me, but the fact that I was with him, made it a lot better. It didn’t take me long to figure out why I enjoy running 6AM running so much. Because I fall for my trainer, my co-worker, my friend Steve. How couldn’t I? He ws the perfect gentleman. Always made sure that everybody is alright, both mentally and physically.
I accompnied him on quite lot missions, but the last one, it was only him, Bucky, Natasha and Sam. Not even Wanda, so I guess they didn’t want anyone out there who has superpowers. Which is fine, at least I could have a lazy day. I was with Wanda all day, we cooked, and watched a few movies. When she said that she never saw any of my favorite movies, I felt genuinely attacked. Like how? Those are seriously the best movies on the entire universe, so she should’ve seen at least one of them. But nah, she didn’t. So I decided, to it had to be changed.
It was already late night, when I was still waiting for Steve and the others to came back. Wanda was already fast asleep in her room, I was just walking around sleepless. I was nervous okay?! How could I sleep, when they are out there, risking their life, and me, being here, not helping them.. And Steve doesn’t even know about my feelings. Which is probably for the best, he wouldn’t reciprocate them. Right? Why would he?
Anyways, when I heard the door open, I jumped off of my bed and ran to the door to greet them. But it got suck in my throat. Everybody’s head was low, they looked really tired and beaten up. But most likely Cap.
„Hey Y/N! What are you doing awake?” asked Sam as he saw me.
„I was waiting for you guys to return. Everybody is alright?” I couldn’t take my eyes off of Steve. I’ve never seen him more injured.
„We’re fine Y/N, tanks. I think you should go to sleep, I’ll take care of these dumb boys over there.” Natasha patted my back gently. But she was in pain, I could clearly see it.
„No way, at least let me help you taking care of them.” I said, not even thinking. There’s no way I’m going to let her do everything alone.
„Argh, alright, then take care of Steve.” I gave her a llok which said ‘Seriously? Don’t play matchmakig right now!’, but she only shook her head. „He’s the most injured of all of us. By the time you manage to finish taking care of his wounds, I’ll be with ready with both Bucky and Sam. Even with myself. He got all the beating.”
„Alright.” I nodded. „Come on Captain, we’ll need to fix you.” I said grabbing his hand and making my way to the closest bathroom.
„I’m alright Y/R, you don’t need to take care of me.. I just need a shower, then I’ll be as good as new.” Steve said, but I could see how much pain he has only from talking.
„Uhum, well, not happening. You could just put away your supersoldier pride, and let me take care of your injuries.”
He smiled, and shook his head slowly. „Okay. Do what you need to do.”
I only nodded and searched for the first aid kit, under the counter. „I’ll need you to take off your shirt.” I said, standing up.
„Before our first date? Oh wow, Y/N, I didn’t think that you are this kind of a girl.” I probably blushed at the word 'date’, but I tried to brush it off. He smirked at me, then strated to take off his shirt. It was painful, I immediatelly jumped to help him, but he waved me off. „No, no, it’s fine, it would just hurt more I think.”
I nodded. „Take your time.” I turned around, partly because it hurt me to see him in pain, the other reason was that I was afraid that I would faint if I see him taking off his uniform. It’s not like I haven’t seen him before without it. But I always had Natasha to support me, not to fall down on my face, because I don’t watch my step for a moment.
When I turned back, He was already shirtless, and it would be really a nice view, but oh damn. He was seriously injured. The bruises were all over his body.
„Oh man, You don’t look good.” I blurted out, couldn’t really stop myself. I covered my mouth, mostly because I was afraid that I say anything else, but I was also afraid that I will cry out loudly. It was so hard not to roam my hands on his body. I wanted to have healing powers so much at that moment,
„Yeah, well, you’re not my type either.” He said, I think in a joking manner, but I was still looking at his wounds, thinking about where to start the treatment, so when he said it, I looked up to his face. He didn’t look at me, but he had a very painful expression. I looked down to my pajama shorts, and my big oversized band shirt. Almost all my tattoos were exposed, which made me grimace. Of coure, I’m not his type. Why would I be? He’s used to.. pure and cute girls. I’m only cute when I’m sleeping. Nobody told me that yet, but I didn’t really ro and sleep around, so It can be as true as false.
I figured to let it go, his comment, and start to clean his injuries. I let it go with my heartbreak. I always knew that what I feel is unrequited, but I still had hopes. And looks like those were too high for me.
„That is such a shame, I’m a catch you know.” I said, like it didn’t matter, like I didn’t fall into pieces a few seconds ago. Like it’s just a joke for me. „This is going to sting.”
„I’m used to it by now.” he said through gritted teeth.
I was working silently, neither of us said anything. It was the first time with him where the silence was awkward.
„I could go. I could have help. You wouldn’t be in this state righ now.” I was only saying this, so we’re not totally quiet. And I was also right, but that just a minor detail.
„I know you could. But I didn’t want you to come.” I looked up, so he continued. „It was too dangerous. I.. Well, I juts wanted to make sure you’re alright.”
„Yeah. Right… Sure.” I said with an eyeroll.
„What?” his voice sounded a bit hurt, like he knew I don’t believe him.
„I know you didn’t want me out there because of my powers. It’s alright, just don’t lie.” I cleaned up another wound, maybe my movement was a bit more harsh because he made a hissing noise. „Sorry.”
„I’m not lying, it’s the truth!” he exclaimed, which made me take a step back. When he next spoke his voice was much calmer, and didn’t make me jump out off my skin. „I know that you can handle yourself, but I wanted to make sure that you can’t get hurt on this mission. I don’t know what would I do if anything.. Anything at all happens to you.”
My heart fluttered, his eyes were looking so deep into mine it was impossible to look away. I could swear that there is at least ten shades of blue in his eyes, and let’s not even start with the small green dots in them.
„And you say that I’m not your type, huh? Like I said. Liar.” I tried to joke, and look away, but I couldn’t calm my heart beating. I thought it’s going to jump out from it’s place. Why did I say that? Ah, no, I just made it all awkward again. 'Please, don’t say anything. Please, don’t say anything. Please, don’t say anything.’
„Yeah, well. That’s the other thing, I need to explain.” 'Damn it!’
„Explain? You don’t have to explain anything. You’re fine. I get it. Not everybody can handle hotness.” I said, turning my back to him, I tried to make it look like I’m searching for something in the med kit. I think I learned this defensive sarcasm use from Tony. Hm, who thought that he will be useful one day?
„I didn’t mean it that way, how it come out. I understand that it sounded harsh, and I want to apologise. It wasn’t my intention to hurt you.” He made me turn around, and looked into my eyes again. I hold my breath as I answered.
He only raised his brows, and a smirk played on his lips. „Really? Then why do you keep bringing it up?”
I opened my mouth, but closed it. I did that only a few times, when I gave up. I don’t have an answer. He did hurt me, but I can’t say that, he’s only going to blame himself. So instead of giving him an answer I just shrugged and turned my back to him again. The way he looks at me makes me weak, and I can’t be weak. Not now, he’s still wounded. After I took care of him, I can fall apart, and fix myself again.
„Even if I didn’t hurt you, it wasn’t a nice thing to say. Especially when it’s not true.” he said, voice low.
„What did you just said?” I have never in my life turned around so quickly.
„You heard me. I’m a liar. And a bad one, I can’t even wait the next day to tell the truth.” he shook his head, a small smile on his face, like he couldn’t believe what he’s saying. Well, neither could I. Althoug I wasn’t sure that he’s saying what I think he’s saying.
„You really gonna make me say it, don’t you?” he shook his head again. „Look. I know. I am an old man, who doesn’t really get these.. modern stuff, but I’m trying, I’m really trying, and I never had problem with you and your… modernness, maybe not really understand it, but–”
„Steve.. Get to the point.” I said, already grinning like an idiot. He’s saying what I think he’s saying.
„Right, sorry. I like you Y/N. Like a lot. And uh.. You shouldn’t be my type, because.. Well because way too cool and hot for me, for somebody who is a hundread year old. So, yeah, this is awkward. I shouldn’t say this while I’m shirtless. Ugh, I just messed up everything.”
„Oh wow, and I thought that you don’t have a good taste.” I said grinning, stepping a little closer to him. „Just for letting you know, Captain, I didn’t say that you are not my type. Like ever. But you know, maybe I could get used to this horrible sight. You shirtless I mean. It’s going to be hard, but.. You know… I’ll take this for the team.”
„Oh, right, such an unselfish, righteous thing to do.” he also grinned at me, with the same excitment in his eyes. He lowered himself a bit. I wasn’t much shorter that him tho’, but still he was slightly taller.
„Yeah, I’m learning from the best. And just for the record.. I really like you too. Like a lot. And also I think I have a thing for hundread years old men. Not all of them, but for some reason I think you’re my type. Even if you think I’m too cool for you. I’ll share my coolness with you.”
„God, you never shut up.” he said his nose already touching mine.
„I talk when I’m nervous, don’t judge me, just accept the deal.”
„Deal.” He pulled me closer, so our lips touched. I immediatelly closed my eyes, and kissed back. I deepened the kiss, his hands were holding me cloce to his body, I could feel his body warmth through my shirt. My hands were playing with his hair, pulling him even closer, not sure that was even possible. My thought were all over the place. I thought about the same time how nice his lips feel againt mine, how his tongue knows exactly what to do to make me want to never break this kiss, also I couldn’t process that I’m kissnig Steve Rogers, the man I love for a really long time now. And he feels the same. This must be a dream. I certainly fall asleep with Wanda on the couch. But even if that’s teh case I don’t want to wake up. Like ever again.
„Ouch!” he pulled away quickly. „Your lip piercing.” he pointed at my spike, something I completely forgot. Yeah in my drean this probably wouldn’t be a problem, so thi must be the reality. How and when and why and what? What could I possibly do to deserve this wonderful man’s love?
„Sorry!” I laughed. „I can change it to a ring, if you wan’t me to.”
„Yeah. That would be nice. So I can do this whenever I want to.” He said kissing me again, now watching out for my piercing. I could do thi for hours, and still wouldn’t get tired of the feeling, but then I remembered, that I still have to finish taking care of his injuries.
I pulled away, and ha made a whining sound, which I think I never heard Captain America do before. Whining? Nah. And still he did it. Because of me. Oh, man, I won’t be able to stop smiling for the rest of my life.
„Sorry old man, you still have like three wounds. And you didn’t even take off your pants.” I said with a wink.
„Oh, Doll, my pants won’t be the only thing that will be taken off tonight.” he winked back, pulling me back to him, so now he was hugging me from behind, giving small kisses on my exposed skin around my neck and shoulder line.
I blushed like a mad man. I like this side of Steve. Yeah, I think I could get used to all of this.
