Pre-serum steve could never hurt a woman, you CANT convince me otherwise. He wouldn't even correct his partner just smile and nod because he so in love.
I don't know if I'm gonna get hate for his but I'm always so confused when people are anti endgame and say that Peggy regresses to only being Steve's love interest. I'm not taking anything away from how great Hayley is or how Peggy is written or anything, but doesn't she spend 99% of the MCU being his love interest? She's his pillar of strength in the The First Avenger reassuring him to believe in himself and undressing him with her eyes; she spends TWS reminding Steve of who he is and what he has to do; she spends Age of Ultron as a vision of his to come home and be with her; well Civil War *cough*; and she's a symbol and vested interest for Steve throughout Endgame as the life he wants to go back to and be with. He's also tethered to her in the same ways - from the moment he wakes up, his old life is missing (which is essentially her) and it stays with him until Endgame. We could argue outside of Agent Carter he was her main love interest and she was his. They are two parts of a whole. And, that's okay. That doesn't take away what great characters both of them were, especially her.
I don't know why we get so down on female characters being a love interest when that does make up a big part of who they are.....
So, I have been writing an angsty Steve Rogers x desi!reader fic and here is a little sneak peak. I hope you’all are ready to cry.
Swallowing, you looked down as tears beaded your eyelashes and muttered out. "I think we should break up, Steve. It's not working out." Saying those words was like stabbing yourself in the chest with a scorching knife.
Steve instantly stiffened and his grip on your hand grew tight as he refused to let you go. "Why?" He asked and before you could reply, his bitter laugh made your head snap upwards as he shook his head.
"Why am I asking this? This should be pretty obvious to me," He sniffled as few tears slid down his cheeks. He glanced at you and you had to bite your lip to hold back your own tears as his pained and misty eyes stared into yours. "Is there nothing I could do to change your mind? To make you give me a second chance? Do you not love me anymore?"
The last part was like a slap to your face as you furiously shook your head and yelled. "I love you with all my heart, body, mind and soul. I love you more than anything in this world, more than I could articulate."
"Then why are you leaving me?" He asked in a whisper.
And the flood gates opened as you broke down. "BECAUSE I DON'T DESERVE YOU."
Steve immediately placed you in his lap as sons wrecked through your body. "Why would you say that? You deserve the world, doll."
"No Steve, no! You are captain America and I'm nothing. You are gorgeous and I'm ugly. You are perfect and I'm not." You cried into his chest, selfishly seeking his warmth.
