New one shot! This story is about Steve's favorite color. All the Avengers try to guess it and none of them get it right. Except for one of them. Romanogers warning bc I'm trash for them :) Also I'm going out of the country tomorrow so don't expect too many updates for the next month. I'll try to update whenever I can.
Everyone who had ever met him always thought that Steve's favorite colors would be red, white, and blue. Just because he was Captain America doesn't mean that those were his favorite colors. He happened to hate the color red. It reminded him of blood and all that he'd witnessed at war. Not good memories.
His favorite color had always been green. Not the gross puke green, forest green. A type of green that you wouldn't really see in Brooklyn. He and Bucky found a forest one summer when Steve went with Bucky to visit Bucky's grandparents in a rural part of New Jersey. And there were more stories behind that green.
All the Avengers had a running joke that Steve's favorite colors would be red, white, and blue. They fit him really well. They were the face of the country, patriotic, and honorable. It just so happened that one day, Steve told Tony that none of those three were his favorite colors. And thus began the Avengers guessing game of Steve's favorite color.
"Is it black?" Tony asked him one day. Steve shook his head. "Matches my soul don't you think?" Tony joked.
During his early morning run, Clint asked him "Pink? I never took you as that type of guy but as they say, only real men wear pink." That did it. Steve broke down laughing. "No, my favorite color isn't pink." He laughed
"Is it purple?" Bruce asked. Steve stared at him, bewildered "No, why would you think that?" "Well, purple is made by combining blue and red so I just thought that it might be that."
And on the game went. For a few weeks now. Almost every color had been guessed. Except for one.
"When are you going to tell them?" Natasha asked him one day. "You know it's killing them." Steve smirked "I know. That's why I'm not telling them." "It looks like I've rubbed off on you," Natasha observed. "Well, what can I say?" Steve grinned, "It's not like it's a bad thing that I've been spending time with my gorgeous girlfriend." "Good answer," Natasha smiled. Steve grinned and leaned down to quickly kiss her.
"Capsicle, please tell us. It's driving us nuts. Please. We'll do anything." Tony begged. "Fine," Steve relented. "It's green." "Green?!" Everyone screamed. "This is gonna sound stupid but why?" Wanda asked.
"Well, it was my mother's favorite color growing up. With my father being who he was, she always assumed that I was going to be an only child. Except one day, someone knocked on our door. When I went to open it, there was a little baby carriage with a little baby in it. There was a letter inside telling us that the baby didn't have a name but gave us a date of birth and information about her. It said not to try and contact her until the baby grew up. And so my mother raised her as one of her own. My little sister. Amelia. Her eyes changed between blue and green as a kid but they were forest green. I guess she just rubbed off on me. And quite recently she passed away so it's like my way of remembering her and my Mum. Also, Bucky and I made a lot of memories in a forest near Jersey and it's a good way of remembering him."
"Ok, so getting this straight. The reason you like green is because of your family?" Bruce clarified. Steve nodded. "So you dating Natashalie doesn't have anything to do with her green eyes?" Tony joked. "Well, there might have been a little bias there." Steve joked. "Hey!" Natasha hit him "Don't even joke about liking me for my eyes." She threatened.
