Steve realizes he's become too much of a distraction for you as you prepare for your test tomorrow. But surely, thereโs nothing he can do to fix this, is there?

warnings: the reader is implied to be in med school (there's only one line of medical jargon). steve calls you 'doll', 'honey', 'sweetheart'. there's also one slightly suggestive sentence.

The soft clatter of a wooden spoon against the pot punctuates the quiet hum of the kitchen. Steve stands by the stove, stirring the bubbling soup, his posture relaxed but focused. The savory aroma of simmering vegetables fills the air, mingling with the faint sound of your pen scratching against paper at the dining room table. Or, well, it should be scratching. Steveโs senses, always sharp, pick up on the distinct absence of that sound far too soon. He feels itโyour gazeโwarm and unwavering, resting on him like sunlight.
He doesnโt say anything at first, biting back a smile. The attention, as always, makes his heart skip a little faster, but he wants to see how long you keep staring before realizing heโs caught on. Minutes tick by, the quiet growing thick with your distraction. Finally, he canโt resist anymore.
โIs there something on my face, doll?โ he asks, his voice low and teasing, tinged with amusement as he glances up from the cutting board where heโs been scooping vegetable peelings to toss into the bin.
You startle visibly, jolting upright with a flustered, โN-no! Nothing!โ Your cheeks flush, your eyes wide and guilty as if youโve been caught sneaking a cookie before dinner. Then, almost as if the words slip out before you can catch them, you add, still stammering, โExceptโฆexcept your beauty.โ
#warm and fluffy#lovely
Thank you!! ๐ค๐

Steve knows he's lucky to have you in his life. He knows he's incredibly lucky to be with you. But it isnโt until he sees you, lost in a quiet, simple moment, that he truly understands just how lucky he is.

The living room is wrapped in stillness, save for the soft clack of your fingers on the laptop keys and the faint hum of distant traffic outside. Steve sits slouched on the couch, thumb idly scrolling his phone, his mind half-absent as he flips through post after post he doesnโt care about. He barely notices when his hand lowers slightly, his gaze drifting up andโ
He sees you.
Youโre seated on the carpet, cross-legged in front of the coffee table, the glow of the overhead light spilling down like a halo. It hits the curve of your cheekbone, the soft slope of your nose, the tiny frown thatโs pulled your brows together as you stare intently at the screen. Thereโs a strand of hair falling loose from your haphazard bun, one youโve probably shoved up without thought, and youโre dressed in one of his old shirtsโthin and worn, slipping lazily off your shoulder like it belongs thereโpaired with baggy shorts that swallow you whole. Itโs the most mundane of moments, the kind most people would overlook, but Steve feels like his heart stops.
i justโwhuaa? words? to describe? this softness?
(ignore me, thorne, lol. i'm just re-reading and smashing that reblog button like my life depends on it).
Thank you so much, sweetheart. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

Hey Stella!! Thank you for sending the prompt, bestie!! <33 @stellar-solar-flare
You tremble against him, your sobs shaking your body as your face presses into his chest, tears soaking into his shirt, mingling with the scent of burnt sugar and something sharp in the air. He feels the weight of your exhaustion, how your body slumps like itโs finally giving inโand it stirs something deep within him, a quiet, aching need to take all of it away.
His hand moves gently up and down your back, his voice soft, comforting as he murmurs, โWhy donโt you drink some water and rest for a bit? Iโll grab some groceries, figure something out for dinner.โ
You lift your head, trying to speak, but your words seem to catch in your throat. โYou donโt need toโโ
He shushes you softly, his voice steady but filled with warmth, โI want to. Let me take care of you.โ And he pulls you back into his arms, holding you gently as your head finds its place against his chest. Pressing a gentle kiss to the top of your head, he holds you tight, his mind quietly resolved to do anythingโanything at allโto ease the weight youโve been carrying.
This is from a no-plot-only-fluff story, methinks, about terrible kitchen disasters, and the sweetest, warmest and most caring boyfie everโSteve!!! (หถแต แต แตหถ)

The Stark Tower New Yearโs Eve party is everything you imagined it would beโand more. Glittering lights cascade from the high ceilings, reflecting off the sleek glass walls and filling the room with a golden glow. Laughter and chatter echo from every corner as elegantly dressed guests mingle, glasses of champagne and colorful cocktails in hand. Youโve read about parties like this in magazines, seen them in movies, but to actually be here? Itโs almost too much to believe.
You clutch your glass of sparkling cider a little tighter, feeling the fizz tickle your nose as you take a tentative sip. Non-alcoholic, because the last thing you need right now is to embarrass yourself in front of half the Stark Industries elite. Or worse, in front of Tony Stark himself. Itโs your first time at one of these eventsโyour first New Yearโs Eve party of this caliberโand as the youngest, newest employee at the Stark R&D Labs, you already feel like a small fish in a very big, very glittering pond.
Youโre thrilled, of course. Who wouldnโt be? This is the kind of thing most people would kill forโan invitation to the most exclusive party in the city, surrounded by some of the worldโs most brilliant minds. And yet, thereโs an overwhelming edge to it, a sense of being utterly out of place amidst the glitz and glamour. Thatโs why youโve planted yourself in the corner of the room, tucked just far enough away from the main crowd to breathe while still close enough to soak it all in.
People-watching becomes your anchor, your way of grounding yourself in the chaos. You watch the shimmering gowns swish past, the way conversations ebb and flow, the way laughter ripples like waves through the room. Itโs fascinating, observing how everyone seems so effortlessly comfortable in a setting like this. And for a while, itโs enough to distract you from your own nerves.
Until your gaze lands on him.
Steve Rogers.
crying but okay.

The apartment feels lifeless without Steve.
No sound of his steady footsteps on the hardwood floors, no low hum of his voice as he tidies up or works on a project. Just the hollow, echoing silence and the soft ticking of the clock on the wall, counting every agonizing second since he walked out.
You sit curled up on the couch, your knees drawn to your chest and your arms wrapped tightly around them. The blanket you grabbed earlier is tangled around you, but it doesnโt offer the comfort youโre seekingโ
Nothing does.
My heart...
Thank you for the read and reblog, bestie!! ๐๐
just going to say that youโre not a real steve rogers stan if you think endgame made sense for his character. you prefer fanon, and thatโs ok, but the real steve rogers would never go back in time rather than March forward. he would never abandon his friends. he would always choose a pickett line over a pickett fence. bc that man could retire from being captain america, but never from being steve rogers
