Ginger Snap - Jubilee/Steve

For: @phoenix-173 Pairing: Jubilation Lee/Steve Rogers Prompt: Ginger Snap (Vodka, Ginger Liqueur, Lemon Juice, Agave) Rated: T

"Is that my shirt?" Steve asked, squinting mostly out of habit because he could see perfectly in the low light of his bedroom.

"No, it's Bucky's," Jubilee deadpanned, sticking out her tongue as she rolled up the sleeves on Steve's blue dress shirt so they wouldn't hang past her hands.

She buttoned only the middle button before flouncing out of the room. Steve rolled out of bed and followed her, completely nude and completely entranced by the woman now raiding his fridge.

"Whatcha lookin' for?" he asked. "Maybe I can help?"

"I dunno… I don't think you have any ice cream," Jubilee said slowly, peering into the freezer. "And you're completely nude, so I don't even know what you're going to do to help me with that."

"Well, I would offer to run out and grab some for you, but you're wearing my shirt, so…" Steve teased.

"I just wanted to see ya go out shirtless for ice cream," she replied with a wink.

"I might just do that."

She snorted out a laugh. "Do that and you'll break Brooklyn."

He headed back to the bedroom to get dressed. "I'm tempted to try."

Jubilee/Steve, “Please come back”

for @phoenix-173

“Why should I?” was her terse reply.  Jubilee was bouncing Shogo on her knee and Steve didn’t want to fight in front of him.  

“Because I miss you.  I miss both of you…” he said, aware of the pleading tone in his voice.  He did miss them.  He missed everything about them.  The warmth.  The noise.  The constantly messy living room.

Her jaw wobbled, but she stilled it soon enough.  “We miss you too…”

Jubilee/Steve, Pride

Jubilee rested her chin on her hands as she watched him.  He was pretty spectacular to watch.  

Steve Rogers, All-American Hero, sitting half naked on the end of her bed, sketching her cat as it lay curled up on the rug in front of her dresser.  

“Can I see it yet, Picasso?” she chimed, noting the way his lips twitched upward at the sound of her voice.

“Not just yet…I’ll show it to you in just a second…”  

She sighed happily. It was going to be another masterpiece, she could just tell.  He was pretty damn talented, her man.

Jubilee/Steve, Envy

for @phoenix-173

A/n: Last one, I’m done!

She was comfortable in her skin.  Five minutes around Jubilee and it was really obvious just how comfortable she was.  

Steve envied her that. He envied her ability to lounge practically nude on the bed, the sheet draped over her in a way that would have made a Renaissance artist green with envy.  

Because no matter how many times she told him he was gorgeous, he wasn’t really there yet. And he didn’t think he ever would be.

Jubilee/Steve

Awwww!  I love this ship!

Jubilee/Steve, Haunted House AU (High School)

She squealed and grabbed Steve’s arm, her nails digging slightly into the skin of his forearm. She’d somehow raked up the sleeve of his Letterman's jacket to expose it.  

“God, Jube…it’s not real…” Steve muttered, reaching for her hand and attempting to pry it loose without any luck.  To be completely honest, the ghastly ghoul had kind of spooked him too, but not nearly as much as the sting of her fingernails.  

“I know…I know it’s probably just someone’s dad in make-up…but like…AHHHHHH!”  She jumped again, latching onto him in a completely different way.  She wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her head against his chest.  “Okay, okay…I know this isn’t ideal, but…just lead me out and I’m gonna hide my face.”  

Steve couldn’t help but think how wrong she was.  This was ideal.  This was very ideal.

Jubilee/Steve, 2, 13

2.  Pining (Mutual or One sided) 13.  Coma

It wasn’t until homeroom that Jubilee got news of the accident.  Over the morning announcements.  He and Bucky had been out late the night before…it’d been raining. Bucky’s tires slid on the wet pavement.

Bucky’d hurt his arm…it was Steve they were worried about.  

She didn’t hear Dr. Xavier call after her as she fled the classroom.  Out to her car.  She wasn’t sure how she got to the hospital, just that she was there now, arguing with a nurse in the ICU about being admitted to his room.  

She had to get in there.

Sarah Rogers’ arm appeared, wrapping tightly around her shoulders as she talked to the nurse, assured them in calming tones that “Miss Lee is absolutely allowed to see my son. Add her name to the list, please.”

They said you could hear things when you were in a coma, right?  She had to talk to him.  Let him know how she felt.  She was so stupid not to tell him before now.

Jubilee/Steve. "Want me to light you up?"

Steve smirked. “You’d light me up over the last piece of pizza? I’m hurt, Jubes.”  He placed his hand over his heart.  “HURT.”  

“You’re gonna be hurtin’ if you eat my pizza…” she warned, only half-kidding.  “This is the best pizza in NYC and you get to eat it anytime…”  

“Yeah?  Well, it tastes better when I steal it from you…”  He leaned over the box and pressed a quick kiss to her lips.
