Steve Rogers (Captain America) X Reader Chapter 4

(( Sorry this story may be a bit rushed but I am not feeling very creative today and I promised to have it out before tonight anyway PLEASE COMMENT! I love to hear from you guys.))

Things had been going amazing for a while now. It had been a month and Steve was going to ask out (Name) tonight. This moment was huge for him he had never asked a woman out before in his entire life and the thought of rejection stung painfully. If she said no it would hurt what ever ego he had left and possibly ruin their friendship. That was something he definitely didn't want to happen. He cared about to her much, he had a huge crush on this woman by now..possibly even love. He had never been in love before. Though Peggy came close. They were just never meant to be. She had once told him that he needed to find the right dance partner and she was just not it. But maybe....maybe (Name) was. They had been on several 'dates' by now, all were equally as wonderful as the last. Each time he found out more and more about her. Still he did not know anything about her family, she had always dodged the question, or her line of work. So it stayed in the back of his mind what the possibilities could happen with her. There was always trying to tell her that he was Captain America. She would have to find out one day. It was impossible to hide such a huge secret for long especially from someone he cared for so deeply like he did.

He gave his outfit one quick look over. A pair of khaki dress pants, a collared blue polo, and dress shoes. It was dressy but not too formal. He took a deep breath and fixed a stray hair away from his face before going out the door and jogging out and to his truck. There were meeting at the lake and going to go out for a picnic in a canoe. He remembered her telling him how much she would love to do that one day and here they were. It made him nervous but happy all at the same time.

It wasn't long till he arrived there and promptly set everything up so that once she had made it everything would be ready and perfect. Sure enough, by the time she got there he had everything loaded in and ready. She looked perfect. A cute (f/c) dress and (f/s). " Hey Steve!" She grinned trotting over happily and wrapping his necks in her small arms. He gave her a light, shy hugg and led her into the boat. Since he was the strong one he did all of the work, unting, sending off, and paddling them out into the middle.  " Is it funny I know how to swim but I am so scared of falling in?" She asked laughing and getting comfortable. " I won't let you fall..unless we tip the boat. Then in that case ill do my best to hold you up." Over time he had gotten so comfortable around her the majority of his nerves were gone. They engaged in their usual causal chatter before he swallowed a wad of nerves and spit. " Ah (N-Name).. I was wondering if you...Might consider.... Y'know being my girlfriend." He looked down and was not able to see her eyes light up. " Steve I .... Yes. Of course!" the way she started sounded like she way going to say no or....something else anyway. " Really that's wonderful! So I guess I can officially call you my girlfriend now. Thats new."  "Yes, I guess it is and I can call you my boyfriend." They both shared in one moment of realization bliss before he broke open the Chinese take out boxes and handed her some chop sticks.

As they enjoyed in the contentment and comfort of their chats and comments on the food a rumble was heard in the distances. The Captain in Steve made him stop chewing and look around curiously. " What is that?" he said out loud but (Name) acted like she hadn't heard a thing. "Probably just construction. They are always building SOMETHING." She shrugged poking around for another piece of chicken that might have been buried in the rice. " No it's not that...." There was a huge explosion and a mushroom cloud rose up into the baby blue sky. Throwing down his food and trading it for paddles he speed rowed back to shore and grabbed (Name's) hand. " Come on!" They ran together and got into his truck as he sped down the road to meet the danger. Sure enough another person had broken into a bank. Except this time they decided to use explosives to get in. Steve ran up the steps and gave a quick look to (Name) then the bank. Let someone possibly die and save their relationship or give it away he was the Captain and run in to see whether or not people were actually in there. Before he could pick (Name) went to run in there but he stopped her. " No, go back to the truck. Please." He begged before running in. As he carried out a kid and brought him to (Name) to tend to and watch Iron Man showed up. " Hey Cap! See you're early!" He said before landing and sprinting in. With the fear his girlfriend had heard him he ran inside the bank for more people.

" Why didn't you tell me..... this changes a lot." (Name) said blinking in shock and hanging her legs off of the back of the truck bed. " I-I'm sorry I was afraid." Steve ran his hand through his hair panicking. They had just finished getting everyone else out and the Avenger's were after the thief. He had stayed back to deal with (Name). " If you don't want to be-"  "No, I-I do. It just complicates things... Listen I have to clear my head. Can we meet up tomorrow? Maybe watch a movie." It had to be hard for her she just found out her boyfriend was a 90 yr old super hero." Yea, okay. Ill take you to your car."

" I'm telling you Steve. WHY would she be so upset? Most women would be thrilled. She had already expressed she is a fan of Captain America, so why in the world would she be anything less than thrilled to find out you are him. It doesn't line up. Let me check out this girl, find out who she is." Tony, the man of iron himself, said over a drink at the bar. " You're NOT interrogating my girlfriend." Steve said sighing and rubbing his temples. He didn't want her to think he didn't trust her he did. Well.... maybe not fully but he certainly had a large, large amount of trust in her. " So what are you going to do about this?" Tony finally broke the silence looking up and over at the Star Spangled Man Who Usually Had a Plan. " I guess I will do this the only way I know how to. Go to the movie's tomorrow and do everything I can possibly do to make her comfortable and try see what's wrong... God I wish I could get drunk." He groaned putting his forehead down on the wooden bar table.
