Be the One
Steve x Reader
Request: @bubblybrianna Hi I read o e of your works and I was super impressed. I was wondering if you could do a Steve Rogers x reader based on the song Be the One by Jason Derulo.
A/N: I didn’t write lyrics with each section of the request just as an fyi.
"Rogers, the place is going to blow." Sam's voice rang through the com and your heart raced. Fuck.
You pushed yourself harder and climbed the stairs to the roof. The exit plans were limited and you were clearly running out of time.
You slammed against the door bursting through from the stairwell, now what. You looked around for anything that would grant you safety.
"Where are you?" You heard Steve ask through the com and you felt a vibration under your feet.
"Cap on your left!" Sam answered and you figured you were going to die because you didn't know where either boy was at. You were losing hope, time was running out, and you were stuck on the roof.
"Look up," Steve's voice ordered and you looked up and relief flooded your senses. Sam was piloting a hydra helicopter with Steve hanging on the side door.
Your relief changed to dread though when you saw Steve hold his hand to you. You'd have to jump and that, that was just as scary as the place crumbling in like twenty seconds. "You need to jump!" He ordered you again and you couldn't hesitate as you heard a rumble. You turned around to see a hole begin to form in the middle of the roof top. The building began to crumble.
"Fuck," you cursed and took off, getting a running start you kept your eyes onto Steve and his hand. You will not admit that some sort of squeal came out of your mouth as you leaped off the roof. Sam moved the plane in an angle and you fell into Steve's arms both of you almost rolling out through the other side door of the helicopter.
Your heart hammered against your chest as you clung onto Steve's biceps, the facility now a pile of rubble on the ground as Sam took off. You looked up, both you and Steve laying on the floor of the helicopter, and caught eyes with Steve. Fuck.

Steve gripped your hand firmly as you both sped walked out of the casino. You were dressed in a dress that hug your body beautifully while Steve was dressed in a suit. It was a typical mission, not high risked like aliens trying to destroy Earth, just a weapons dealer selling info. You and Steve were ordered to infiltrate the casino where everyone was suppose to meet, steal the file, and get out.
Everything was going great, you were able to slide into the private party by being on the arm of someone random but important. Steve had to try a different tactic since he wasn't the type to blend in as easily for being a known figure in the world he had to sneak through the back entrance.
You were able to learn a few tricks from Natasha in training, and had picked up a few good habits of distraction that allowed you to get close to the target. It was almost too easy to fake a few laughs and act interested. Your hand rubbing the guy's chest and moving to his breast pocket. You grabbed the flash drive, and the guy grabbed your wrist. "And what do you think you're doing, Missy?" The guy growled.
I said it was almost too easy.
"Give me the keys," You yelled and Steve didn't hesitate to throw you the key. You clicked the button and the lambo beeped, the doors lifting as you jumped into the driver's seat. You had lost your heels when you had kicked a guy in the chest escaping so your bare foot pressed the clutch as your other foot went to the brake.
The car purred to life and you shifted the gear to first and let go of the brake slowly gaining speed to shift into second as you both took off the road and onto sand shifting into the next gear as you accelerated.
Cabo's water was illuminated by the moon as you drove across the beach, trying to avoid getting caught. You almost didn't notice Steve's hand on your thigh as you drove.
Almost.

"I don't see why you two won't just date already," Natasha hummed as you and her walked down the halls of the compound. You could see her sly smirk and you shook your head in response, rolling your eyes.
"Nat, it's Steve!" You pointed out like that explained everything. "Captain America, the golden boy." You continued and sighed looking across the room you two entered to see him leaning against the kitchen counter laughing with Bucky and Sam.
"So?" She laughed, "you're going to friend zone Captain America."
"No, I mean yes, I mean-" you fumbled over your words as you looked down. You would be lying if you said you didn't think Steve was attractive. And you did get along with Cap really well, but it was Steve. He was good, like a heart of gold good, and you were not. You made mistakes in your life and you had issues, and Steve could have anyone so why would he like you as more than friend even if you did.
"I'm just saying," Natasha said quietly, getting you to come back from your internal thoughts. You two passed the boys, catching eyes with Steve before moving on. "You don't see the way he looks at you when you aren't looking."

"Steve-" you were speechless when Steve stumbled into your room. He was still in the Captain America suit. He had been on a mission and you didn't even know he was back until he staggered into your room.
You looked over at your phone reading that it was 2:32 am
"What are you-" you began to ask as you took the covers off of you. You then realized how beat up he looked.
He had a cut from his cheek down to his jaw. His bottom lip was busted, and you finally noticed him holding his side. Blood had darkened his suit around the area his hand was pressing against.
You didn't hesitate as you pulled him to you, leading him to your bathroom you shoved him to sit on top of the toilet as you began to play nurse. Fumbling over the first aid kit you had under the sink.
"Why didn't you go to med?" You asked as you helped Steve take off the top of his suit. He was slumped against the toilet. His eyes lidded as you worked on his side. Cleaning it. He was lucky it was a bullet graze.
"I wanted to see you," he mumbled. He was out of it.
"You could have seen me after you were bandage," you retorted kneeling between his legs and giving him a stern look. His lips twitched to smile but he grimaced because of his busted lip.
"I wanted to tell you something," he sighed, cringing as you moved and started cleaning the cut on his cheek.
"And it couldn't wait?" You asked and he gave you a look.
Every mission you go on, there isn't a guarantee of coming back. And the look he gave you. It silenced you.
"What did you want to tell me?" You then asked quietly. Looking away from him as you began to work on his bottom lip. But he moved his head back.
"You're beautiful." And you blushed, a smile growing on your face as you shook your head, trying to dismiss his compliment.
"Is that what couldn't wait?" You asked trying to play it off as a joke, "that I am beautiful."
"Yes." He answered seriously. "I can't hold back anymore." Your smile faded. "You're beautiful, you're amazing, you light up every room you walk into." His words were soft and your blush darkened as he didn't break eye contact with you.
"Steve-"
"Anyone would be lucky to just be a part of your life." He continued and you finally realized he was holding both of your hands. "I'm lucky to be a part of your life." He mumbled. "And since getting to know you-"
"Steve-"
You were cut off by his lips on yours.
"Let me finish." He said once you two pulled away. You were now straddling his lap, resting your forehead against his. "I like you," he confessed, "and if you let me, I will be there for you, I will love you, I'll treat you right." He said as he held your hand still. "Just let me be the one."
