Steve and Angel

Alasiel: I made this earlier today for Kyla, making this pic was fantastic as I got to stare at Cap's fantastic abdomen and chest (Don't tell Kyla I said that... )

Angel giggled a little bit as Steve stared at her laptop, wondering what to say to him to make it so that she would understand what it was that she was talking about. Smiling a little bit more as Steve gave her a look, Angel shrugged, trying not to laugh, but the look on his face was just making her want to forget all about it and do something else. Unlike most, Steve didn't throw things when he was frustrated either--he just tried to figure out in his head how the problem could possibly be fixed.

"How about we stop for now and cuddle on the couch and watch a movie?" Angel asked him.

Steve shook his head and stared at the laptop screen. "Tempting as that is, I want to understand this."

"We can come back to it," Angel offered with a gentle shrug. "Snuggle me, Cap."

"Defrag first," Steve responded.

Angel laughed a little more and nodded. "Fine, but next time you're taking lessons from Tony."

"I figured we could do dinner instead of hot dogs at the hot dog stand," Angel told him, looking up at him happily. "I made us reservations and then we can catch a cab home instead of walking."

Steve smile and kissed her nose affectionately. "I love that idea."

"Good…I want tonight to be perfect," Angel responded, kissing him longingly and then pulling back and taking his hand in hers.

Whenever Angel smiled, Steve felt his heart skip a beat, and he was feeling all sorts of feelings as he thought about what she had said. He wondered what she had planned and what she expected, but they had been trying so hard to just enjoy the moments and this was a moment he didn't want to let get away, so he let her take him to one of her favorite restaurants. There they ordered some dinner and talked a bit about how her parents had met here: Howard and Maria, anyway.

They spent the time flirting and laughing and then they were walking down the sidewalk hand in hand, Angel pausing a moment and looking at the promise ring. It made Steve smile, stopping on the sidewalk and beaming when Angel looked up and smiled at him—they were in such a perfect place here. They wanted the same kind of future and they wanted it with each other, so there was nothing left to be scared about.

"What do you say I add to this magical evening?" Steve asked her.

Angel smiled and nodded. "Okay, what do you have in mind?"

Steve couldn't help but tell Angel as much about him as he could and it seemed only fair to both of them that they tell each other everything. Some things hit harder for home for both of them and right now Steve was missing his old life--a life that he would never give Angel up to have, but the life he had been used to, nonetheless. She understood how crazy this life was now and while he loved it, things had been so much simpler back then.

"I just miss Bucky," he explained, Angel looking at him fondly. "Nothing is the same without him."

Angel nodded slowly, taking his hand in hers. "I get that, I do, and I wish I could help. If only I could manipulate time and space, right? Then I could bring him right here to be with you..."

"Thank you for being here," Steve told her, smiling at her a moment.

She was always doing things for him and helping him to feel like this had all happened for a reason and he was thankful for her...as much as he missed Bucky, he didn't know what he would do without Angela Stark...
