i'm with you, every step of the way

Chapter 26

They spent the rest of the afternoon like that, feeding each other different kinds of food and enjoying the beautiful scenery around them. Natasha eventually lied down to rest her head on Steve's lap as he feeds her fruits. Sometimes he'd lean down to give her a kiss and make her giggle. They packed their stuff out to leave before it gets dark.

"And now for part two," Steve announced once they got to their car and started driving.

"There's a part two?" Natasha excitedly asked. She was thoroughly happy and satisfied with their picnic date and didn't think the day could be even more perfect than it already is. Steve just flashed her a grin as he continued to drive, once again holding Natasha's hand in his.

They arrived at an amusement park about an hour away. Steve already bought tickets beforehand so they went directly to the entrance and by the time they were in, Natasha was giddy with excitement, evident in the way she's gripping Steve's hand and how she can't stop smiling.

They spent the rest of the day playing games. One of the booths they passed by was a game where you throw a football, and if you hit all 6 pins down in one throw three consecutive times, you win a giant stuffed bear. Natasha smirked and dragged Steve there to play, and her amazing football captain boyfriend of course got her the bear. She smiled triumphantly and can't help but to giggle as she was given a bear almost as big as she is. Another booth was a basketball game and Steve successfully won her another stuffed bear, but a smaller one this time because he missed the last shot, which Natasha happened to record on Snapchat, and Steve pouted the whole time and mumbling something about her "exposing" his failure to their friends. Natasha rolled her eyes and laughed, kissing his pout away until he's grinning again.

They decided to ride the big ferris wheel before they leave. It was a slow ride that lets them see the city from a higher altitude. They sat with Steve's arm around Natasha's shoulder, looking out at the city and admiring the view. Once they got to the top, Steve removed his hand and took out a box from his pocket.

"Nat, I got something for you," he told her, and Natasha turned to look at him, a puzzled look on her face.

"What...? Steve, you've already given me so much today, I can't even begin to describe how happy I am!" she exclaimed. For her, this day couldn't be more perfect and was something she would definitely hold close to her heart. She's so grateful for everything Steve did for her and she just couldn't believe that he still has more.

Steve chuckled. "I'm glad you enjoyed today. I loved every moment of it," Steve said and quickly kissed her cheek. "But this is my actual Valentine's gift for you." he opened the box to reveal a silver Pandora charm bracelet, with one rose gold heart charm with a key slot in the middle of it.

Natasha gasped, reaching out to gingerly touch the bracelet. "S-steve... this is so beautiful," she whispered, still not believing her eyes.

"Mhm, a beautiful bracelet for the most beautiful girl," he smoothly replied, making Natasha let out a small giggle. "And we're going to fill to this charm bracelet with every milestone in our relationship. Do you want to wear it now?" he asked with a smile. Natasha quickly nodded and Steve slowly took the bracelet out of the box and carefully put it on Natasha's wrist. It sparkled under the lights of the park and Natasha can't help but smile and shake her hand, watching it reflect little rays of light.

"Oh my, I love it. Thank you so much, I love you," she told Steve, beaming up at him. He put the box back in his pocket and his arm is around her again. She leaned up to kiss him again and he turned towards her, using her free hand to tip her chin up and deepen the kiss.

Tony Stark's graduation party is the most Tony Stark thing ever. He seriously outdone himself. He asked his dad to "borrow" one of their hotels in the city for a night and reserved the floors for students who wanted to go to this party right after graduation. He brought Coachella to them by inviting artists like Marshmello and Childish Gambino (his dad is very connected) to perform exclusively for them.
