Omg, I just read all of A Payment in one day and I'm DYING! It was so so good! I accidentally fell into the Steve Rogers (specifically mob boss au) rabbit hole and I hope I never come out XD
I have a minor hc that Steve has a greenhouse where he grows a bunch of his own vegetables and herbs and some fruit. Like, idk why that popped into my head but it did and I'm obsessed
I’m so glad you loved A Payment. I loved writing that one! And as for your little hc… this may have happened…
“You want a what?” You ask and Steve doesn’t even look over at you he’s so deep in his research.
“A greenhouse.”
“You, what do you wanna grow?”
“Plants?”
“Like?”
“I don’t know Baby. Just plants.”
“Weed? I will not have drugs grown in my home Steven.” This seems to get his attention, he looks up at you in confusion.
“What?”
“No drugs.”
“Oh,” he chuckles softly and wraps a hand around your ankle gently pulling you toward him. “I wanna grow flowers, and trees and bushes and make it smell beautiful.” He slowly slides you closer to him, “I want a place where we can be in nature all year round, something with some grass where we can have picnics and where I can love on you in the middle of winter.” Steve says drawing you into his lap, “I want the fuckin tropics in February.” He says kissing you and god it sounds real nice being able to go read a book in the grass in the middle of winter.
“Yea okay.”
“Yea? You’re good with it?”
“Yea, of course. This is our home. If you wanna have a greenhouse you should. Can I make a request though?”
“Hmm?”
“A water feature. They’re so peaceful and beautiful.”
“Whatever you want Baby.” He agrees and you kiss him this time. Your new house is nearly done and you cannot wait to be out of the hotel, despite being in the owner’s suite, you’re ready to be home. Some of the things you wanted done were taking a bit longer than a normal house. Bullet proof windows, a state of the art security system and most importantly a sprinkler system.
You’ll never be victim to fire again.
When you move into the house three weeks later the greenhouse is the only thing that isn’t done. But Steve has been painstakingly working on it. He’s picked out some plants, with the help of a master gardener, and has built a water feature that is some form of mastery that will water the pants or something. He’d lost you in his explanation but he’d been so excited you couldn’t break it to him that you’d been confused. You can’t wait for it to be done, from the drawings he’d done it was going to be stunning.
