A Fresh Start (Reader x Captain America)

Chapter 2

Without saying anything about what he was doing, you smile, lowering his hand from your cheek and holding it.

You said, "Thanks, Steve."

"For what?" he asked, shifting to face you better.

"For everything. Not many people would do this for a kid from Manhattan." You said as you smile and look down at your hands wrapped around his. Steve laughed at what you said and looked at you with his icy blue eyes.

"No problem, you need a place to stay?" Steve said.

"Yes, only until I get back on my feet again!"

"Come on, (Name), let's go check out my place," Steve said, pulling you on your arm, dragging you out of the restaurant. 

"But....Shawarma..." you say, frowning.

"Later."

*A FEW HOURS LATER*

You panted from jogging all the way from Shawarma to Steve's place. It took you three hours to get there. Steve was just standing there, telling you to hurry up. You looked up at him after catching your breath.

"Well, (Name), here we are!" he says, motioning to the building. Your eyes slowly wandered up the building. When they reached the top, your jaw drops open. You take a few steps closer to Steve, a suspicious smile on your face, thinking he was joking.

"Do you really live here, Steve Rogers?" You ask, grabbing his arm.

"Yes, (Name), I'll show you." He said, smiling and pulling you close.

"Okay, fine. But, if we are kicked out, it's your fault."

Steve let go of you and walked over to the elevator and pushed the button. He turned around, facing you again. He smiled as the doors opened and you walked over to him. He motioned for you to walk in, so you did as you were told. You stood with Steve in the elevator, listening to Paradise by ColdPlay as elevator music. You turn and face him soon.

"Uhm...Steve?"

"What can I do for ya?" he responded, kind of quickly.

"This elevator seems a little...crowded. May I stand a little closer?" You ask, inching closer to Steve.

Steve blushed, and responded, "Sure, go ahead." He pulled you close against his side.

"My Lord, this is a long ride! Are we there yet?" You say, trying to tease him.

"Ha, ha. We should be almost there, (Name)." steve responded, his arm planted on your small shoulder.

The elevator bell dinged saying that you were on the top floor. steve pushed away from you as the doors opened and walked out. You followed, carefully and silently. There were windows almost everywhere, a small-ish kitchen with a picture of all the Avengers, and multiple hallways. There was even a small pond/fountain in the middle. The balcony was huge, but just as beautiful as a normal sized one. There were even two levels! Steve stood in the middle, shouting names.

"Tony, Clint, Nat! I'm home!"

"Steve! Welcome back, Captain!" A man said, walking out from one of the many hallways. You knew who he was right away. He was the one and only Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and Iron Man. When he noticed you, you walked towards Steve, hiding behind him. You kept thinking, This really is the Captain America!

"Steve...who is this?" Tony said, pointing at you with a raised eyebrow.

"Tony, this is (Name). She needs a place to stay." Steve told him, stepping aside, showing you.

"Rogers..." Tony said.

"She'll say with me! Please, Tony."

"Ugh. Whatever, do what you want," he said, turning to walk away, but as he did so, he said,"You obviously have a little crush, Cap."

With that remark, Steve grabbed your arm and pulled you once again towards one of the hallways. You gasped and almost fell on your face. You kept asking Steve where he was going, but Steve just moved faster and smiled brighter. He drags you all the way down the hall and almost broke the door with the strength he used to open it. You kept yelling at him to slow down, but he only did so when he reached the destination. He lets go of your arm, walks to the center of the room, turns around and smiles.
