Summary: Even without the serum’s help, Steve knew he’d always remember the moment he and Monica met.
Notes: Made for the Steve Rogers Bingo (Round 3) prompt “Monica Rambeau,” the Language of Flowers Bingo (Seasonal Delights Bingo) prompt “Taking Photos,” and the Fluffy Steve Fest Day 4 Honeymoon challenge and prompt “Party.” I actually missed the posting deadline for all three, but I figured I’d post it anyway. Title from “Sparks Fly” by Taylor Swift.
The first time he saw her from across the room, throwing her head back with laughter. The way Darcy caught his not-so-subtle gawking and dragged him through the rest of the party to meet her. The butterflies that filled his stomach in a way he hadn’t felt in decades. Her dazzling smile and firm handshake. The way he was so engrossed in their conversation until he heard Peter shout, “Captains! Photo?” and the next thing he knew their arms were around each other. How his skin tingled at even that brief closeness.
