You nodded, biting at your bottom lip in an attempt to hold back your smile. "No, " you murmured. "Did I do something wrong? "
It wouldn't be quite the same as doing in with Nat, but it would have to do. 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. You could've killed Nat, truly you could have. 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. As you entered the room, you paused. "Well, I think you're really cute, " he started, watching as you began to relax slightly. "What's been sucky about it? " "No, you didn't do anything wrong. Steve rogers x reader he makes you cry. "And I like talking to you. "
In fact, that's like a walk in the park. You felt his body stiffen slightly, and quickly forced yourself up and out of his arm. "Cheers, " you chuckled, taking a sip from the glass and releasing a small sigh. "Did your big bad boyfriend ditch you? Steve rogers x reader he uses you. " "Yeah, I think that could help. "My ex just got engaged, " you told him, shaking your head slightly. A moment later, Steve was pulling you into his side, wrapping his arm around you in an awkward attempt at a hug.
"Well, I certainly feel it. 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. 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. "Get unpacking, " he added, watching as you released a small sigh. 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 paused for a moment, considering his words, before giving a short nod. "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 rogers x reader he makes you cry 2. A/N - This chapter is based on the song 'Cry to Me' by Solomon Burke. "You don't want me to start unpacking all my baggage on you, Steve. "I know, " you chuckled, a small smile pulling at your lips. Steve looked a little unsure at first, shifting into a better seated position, before finally giving in and reaching for the bottle.
On the sofa, was Steve stretched out and staring at the screen, which was playing some old black and white documentary. A snort of laughter slipped out of you at his comment. He nodded, watching you as you walked backwards towards the door. "You look like you've got a fun night planned, " he added, nodding at the bottle in your hand. "I'm a pretty good listener, " he uttered, his smile a little awkward as he twisted to face you properly. "I'm free tomorrow night, " you told him, standing back up and giving him a wide smile. 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. You added as he glanced up at you. "I was with my ex for the majority of my adult life. 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. "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. "and we only broke up a little over three months ago. He uttered, and the fake smile dropped from your lips, replaced by an open mouth that left you looking completely lost.
Steve reached out, hesitating before patting your knee lightly. "Would it help if I told you where I think we're at? "Hey, " you murmured, moving a little closer and offering him a small smile. 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'm absolutely exhausted, " you added, putting on the faux bubbly personality that he was so used to.
