The moment Steve saw Natasha got closer to Bruce, it was the feeling he thought he couldn't felt after being froze for almost 70 years

Jealousy.

He thought, there was something between them, especially, after SHIELD being compromised

The spark between them getting bigger and bigger. He thought he could get what he wanted. Longing.

Tonight was one of the parties Tony Stark had held, and Steve took a very big decision

He took a risk by talked to Nat. He wanted answers to his questions. And one of them is, did she feels what he felt?

The party started and Steve found himself talking with Sam and the other veteran members

and coincidentally, Sam had asked Steve to get him more beers, and as always Steve couldn't denied it

as he walked toward the bar, he saw Natasha. his Natasha talking to a man, and it seemed Bruce. The way it looked, it seemed that, Natasha just flirted with him

and at that point, he just stopped walking, just stared at them, the way she smiled and continued flirting

he can felt, his heart is crunching, and his stomach just felt sick. He wanted to grabbed Bruce and tell him to stay away from his girl

but that seemed very unrealistic. He could'nt do that, 'cause Bruce is his friend, one of his team mates, and he couldn't jeopardize what he and Bruce had

Suddenlly, he felt someone tapped on his right shoulder, "everything's alright?"

Steve turned around and letting go his breath that he had been held

"yeah, everything seems fine". He couldn't averted his gaze toward Natasha's and tried his best to keep his eyes at Sam's. but it didn't end nicely

"you can't keep lying to me, Cap. I know what you saw, and hopefully, i know what you feel"

He let out a deep sigh, " you don't know what i feel, especially after that"

he said as he tilted his head to where Nat and Bruce were

"you got to tell her how you feel, everyone knows that she'll not be happy with a man like him"

"Sam"

Steve tried to warned Sam. After all, it's not Bruce's fault if he was already fell to her spider web and the best he could do, was not saying bad things to his friend

"what? you know what i said was right, i saw the way she looked at you, back when you guys came to my house. And i felt very bad to interrupted your conversation, if i hadn't came, i bet you and her already sucking each other faces"

He hoped everything Sam had just said, were true. He turned around and saw Natasha slowly left the bar

And, he thought, this was the perfect time to gave Bruce the advice of a broken hearted man

Sam looked at him as if he already knew what was he going to do and quickly stopped him

"no, you can't be serious, you just can't do that"

"what? i'm not going to do anything"

"i know what you gonna do"

Sam gave him a look, "what you supposed to do is, ran to her and told her, how you felt all these years"

"Sam, you know i already lost my chance with her, this is the least i can do to make her happy, she desreves this"

He completly aware how his heart ached, but as long as Natasha is happy, he is happy too

Without any words, he walked toward the bar and taking two beers and said,

" it's nice, you and romanoff"

He even couldn't said her first name

"oh, no. it's not like that between us"

" well, it's kinda obvious between two of you, all i'm just saying is, just go with it, at least when you have the chance"

He gave him a smile, but he knew that smile never reached to his eyes

He gave one of the beers to Sam and took the other one to himself and headed up to the roof

Where he can realized, how hard it was to be a good man
