It was two weeks after you found out about Steve's feelings, but you decided it was best to let him tell you in his own time. You are sitting in the common room of Stark Tower, it's fairly quiet, and most of the team is off on missions except you, Steve and Bruce. Bruce keeps to himself in his lab and Steve spends most of his free time in the gym, so you had the common area to yourself so you could play (fav video game) on the big screen. While you were sitting there you hear Steve walking through common area he says hi and keeps walking.

"Hey Steve, you want to join me I'm kind of lonely" you say with a pout

"I just finished a workout but let me take a shower then I'll be back"

"YAAAYYY" this made him laugh as he left the room.

20 minutes later he came back to the common room and plopped down onto the couch next to you. You look over to him and hand him the controller, silently asking if he wanted to play.

"No thanks, I suck at this game. Besides its more fun to watch you play, you get so into it, and it's hilarious when you start yelling at the game."

You feel your face start to heat up with blush and you look give him a look of pretend anger, hoping that the blush isn't that noticeable. "You know what Rogers, how about we play Mario Kart then we'll see you starts yelling first, my money is on you." you say with a wink.

"Fine, how about you put your money where your mouth is (Y/L/N)?"

"Are you proposing a bet Rodgers?"

"Yes I am, first one to yell at the game loses."

"You are soooo on. What are the stakes?"

"I don't know, 50 bucks?"

"OK, but how about we make it more interesting? How about, the loser has to share a deep dark secret." Deciding that you could use your definite win to your advantage.

Steve looks warry at first but then puts on a determined face "OK you're on."

You get up and change out the game you were playing for Mario Kart, grab the Wii controllers and throw one at him. He catches it and smiles at the surprise on your face. You go back to the couch and start the game. When it's time to pick the race you pick the Special Cup, mostly because of rainbow road you both suck at it but you know that one always makes Steve madder than you. The first track comes up and its rainbow road, you smile thinking that your victory will be soon. You look over at Steve and he looks even more hyper focused then usual 'uh oh this might be harder then you thought'.

You get ready as the timer starts to count down, when it hits one your car takes off, you quickly look at Steve's screen and see he's in 8th place, you laugh to yourself. A few seconds later you hear the signature sound of a character falling off the track and laugh because you know you're going to win soon. You fell off a few seconds after but it was ok you were expecting to. You were in your third lap by now but Steve was still in his second, and you could see out of the corner of your eye that he was getting frustrated. You thought to yourself 'any second now he's going to snap eheheheh'. And sure enough as soon as you cross the finish line, Steve starts yelling

"THIS STUPID GAME IS RIDICULOUS, DRIVING IS NOT THIS HARD, AND HOW THE FUCK IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A RACE TRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF SPACE!"

"Steve LANGUAGE." You start to laugh and through your laughter you say "looks like I win Rogers and I do believe you have something to share?" you smile because you're pretty sure you know what he is going to say.

"OK fine a deal is a deal. There's actually something I've wanted to tell you for a while now but I haven't figured out how to say it…. I really like you (Y/N), for a long time now, and never thought I would feel this way about anyone after Peggy. But when I'm with you I feel like my time in the ice was worth it, that missing all those years and coming out in this time was a blessing, because I got to meet the most amazing girl. And know no matter how hard I try I can't imagine my life without you. And if you don't feel the same way I understand but I just wanted to tell and it seemed like a good opportunity."

You look at him with a soft smile and without saying anything you lean forward and start to kiss him, at first he is surprised but then he melts into the kiss. After a few seconds you pull away and look into his beautiful eyes and say,

"Steve, I have had feelings for you for a long time too. I just never thought you felt that way about me, honestly I thought you only saw me as a sister." You look down at the floor because you feel embarrassed for having ever thought that. Then you feel his hand on your chin pulling your face to look at his and then he pulls you in for another kiss, your hands wrap around his neck one of them playing with his hair while his hands lightly stroke your back, his tongue finds its way in to your mouth exploring every inch, you reciprocate by doing the same. You stay like this for what felt like hours, when all of a sudden you hear Bruce's voice cut through the silence,

"It's about freakin time you two got together."

You look over to him in shock "What do you mean it's about time?"

"Oh come on (Y/N), everyone could see you two liked each other, it was only a matter time." He smile at the two of you and goes back to the lab. You look back to Steve you both look confused. You say,

"So apparently our feelings for each other were obvious to everyone but us."

"I guess so." He says with a smile while pushing a strand of hair out of your face and kisses you lightly one more time and with that you spend the rest of the night on the couch making out some more, then watching (fav movie) while cuddling, eventually falling asleep in each other's embrace.
