You nodded, biting at your bottom lip in an attempt to hold back your smile. Little bit of info: this is exactly how my mind works. "There's nothing sadder than drinking wine on your own, " you told him, placing the bottle and glasses down on the coffee table.
"Cheers, " you chuckled, taking a sip from the glass and releasing a small sigh. "I'm free tomorrow night, " you told him, standing back up and giving him a wide smile. "No, you didn't do anything wrong. You could've killed Nat, truly you could have. "Well, I certainly feel it. Steve rogers x reader he makes you cry. "Did your big bad boyfriend ditch you? " The two of your were quiet for a moment, the sound of the tv keeping you from complete silence. "To the girl that he told me I didn't need to worry about when we were together, " you added, a half-hearted laugh dropping from your lips. "and we only broke up a little over three months ago. We need to be able to trust each other and I don't want to risk ruining that just because I'm incapable of knowing the difference between platonic flirting and romantic flirting. You paused for a moment, considering his words, before giving a short nod.
You being scared of getting hurt isn't going to freak me out. Steve rogers x reader he uses you. "You know, " you uttered, breaking the silence. I parkour from totally fine to panicked frenzy in a matter of moments, especially when it comes to romantic endeavours, and this character comes wildly close to just being me in another universe. "I think I should go to bed, " you rushed out, your arms crossing over your chest as you came to the sudden realisation that you had never been alone with Steve before. Steve looked a little unsure at first, shifting into a better seated position, before finally giving in and reaching for the bottle.
"Well, if you insist, " he started as he unscrewed the top of the bottle. "Yeah, I think that could help. As you entered the room, you paused. Whenever you're ready. You nodded, your breathing evening out. A snort of laughter slipped out of you at his comment. "God, the last couple of weeks have been so sucky; I needed this so bad, " you murmured, leaning back so that your head hung over the back of the sofa. "Buck's on a mission, " he told you, shifting to make room at the end of the sofa for you. Steve rogers x reader he makes you cry 3. "No, " you murmured. "Get unpacking, " he added, watching as you released a small sigh.
He finally uttered, breaking the silence and causing your eyes to flutter open again, fixing on him for a moment before tearing away to linger on the TV. "I want to make it very clear that I'm into you, and that if you're ready, I would like to take you out to dinner some time. The link is available on my profile page. A moment later, Steve was pulling you into his side, wrapping his arm around you in an awkward attempt at a hug. If I do, I'll never stop, " you murmured, your chuckle coming out a little too wooden for either of you to think it normal.
In fact, that's like a walk in the park. Steve couldn't help but admire the way you looked whilst you had your eyes closed, bare faced and completely at ease. I don't think you could be pathetic if you tried. "What's been sucky about it? " "Nat was supposed to be joining me, " you murmured, frowning as you slumped down into the space he'd created for you.
It not that you didn't understand, work stuff came up all the time and sometime other things fell to the bottom of the pile of important things to be doing, but you couldn't help but feel a little bitter about it anyway. You swallowed around the lump in your throat, your brow furrowed so hard that Steve began to worry that it would get stuck in that position. "My ex just got engaged, " you told him, shaking your head slightly. "I'm absolutely exhausted, " you added, putting on the faux bubbly personality that he was so used to. "And I like talking to you. " "You look like you've got a fun night planned, " he added, nodding at the bottle in your hand. "Turns out she's on a mission too. It wouldn't be quite the same as doing in with Nat, but it would have to do. "I know, " you chuckled, a small smile pulling at your lips. For a moment, Steve looked confused at your comment, and then it was like realisation bloomed on his face, and he released a small snort of laughter.
"I was with my ex for the majority of my adult life. On the sofa, was Steve stretched out and staring at the screen, which was playing some old black and white documentary. We got together when I was a teenager, and I never learnt to flirt, and I never know when people are just being nice or if they're interested-" your words drifted off into nothing, leaving you a little breathless. "Well, I think you're really cute, " he started, watching as you began to relax slightly. "Being vulnerable is really hard for me, and I panic when people are even slightly nice to me, and you're being so nice, Steve. You added as he glanced up at you. "I don't think you do, " you uttered.
A/N - This chapter is based on the song 'Cry to Me' by Solomon Burke. "Okay, " you uttered, nodding as you ran through everything he had just told you. You padded down the hallway towards the living room in your pyjamas, content to just have a glass of wine and watch some shitty tv on your own. You opened your mouth as though you were on the edge of talking, and then paused, biting down on your bottom lip. You felt his body stiffen slightly, and quickly forced yourself up and out of his arm. "Hey, " you murmured, moving a little closer and offering him a small smile. "My best friend was mind-controlled into committing hundreds, if not thousands, of murders.
"I'm going to end up making assumptions and hurting my own feelings, and that's fine when it's just some random guy, but we work together. "I'm a pretty good listener, " he uttered, his smile a little awkward as he twisted to face you properly. "Than I guess we're going to have to set a date for that dinner, then. "That does suck, " he added, reaching out to pat your knee lightly. I just-" You paused, letting out a small sigh. "You'll pick me up at 8? For what felt like the hundredth time, she had cancelled your plans at the last minute, after you had already brought the wine and everything. He uttered, and the fake smile dropped from your lips, replaced by an open mouth that left you looking completely lost. "You don't want me to start unpacking all my baggage on you, Steve. Steve sucked in a deep breath, nodding his understanding. "Okay, I think I've got all of that. " "Thank you for not letting my neurotic tendencies scare you off, " you told him, listening to the small rumble of laughter that fell from him.
"Would it help if I told you where I think we're at? "Did I do something wrong? " It was a side of you he rarely got to see, and right now he was revelling in it. He'd gone too far, over stepped the boundaries, and now he was unsure of how to step back into safe territory without seeming completely mental. Steve shook his head.
