Steve nervously sat in the living room of the Barton house hold. In his hands he held a little black box. Never had he been more nervous in his entire life. Today was an important day to him. It was the day he was finally going to talk to Clint. It was a long time coming but it had to happen. Never had he imagined this conversation happening with one of his closest friends. Charlotte was out with Laura and Lila for a girls day, plus Nate of course. He still liked going wherever Laura went, which was good for this occasion. Steve heard footsteps walking down the stairs of the home. He got to the bottom step before realizing he wasn't alone, someone else was in the home with him. Looking to his left he saw Steve sitting on the couch. "What are you doing here?" He asked his friend. Clint walked over to his friend and sat down across from him.

"I need to talk to you." Steve spoke, taking a deep breath. Clint looked at his friend then looked at the table. There sat a little box, Clint took a deep breath and leaned forward, his head shaking slightly.

"You remember when you asked me if you could ask her out?" Clint countered leaning back in his chair. Steve nodded his head.

"Every word, why?"


Clint sat in the dining room after a long day of work, Steve sat beside him and was eerily silent. The two had worked all day on finishing up the kitchen and now Clint was looking forwards to some peace and quiet. He didn't mind if Steve stayed and hung out, but he wasn't in the mood to chat. "I want to ask your sister out on a date." Steve stated. Clint's eyes widened and he seemed to move in slow motion to look at him.

"Excuse me?" Clint asked.

"I want to know if its okay if I ask your sister on a date."

"Charlie?"

"Yeah, unless you have another one." Steve told him. Clint shook his head.

"You know this isn't the 40's and you don't need to ask me permission."

"I understand that, I'm not that senile."

"Look, it's just a date. I am going to say this, if you hurt her I will kill you, Captain America or not." He told him. Steve nodded his head.

"Fair enough."

"Now if things are ever serious enough and you wanted to marry her, thats a different story. Well cross that road if we get to it." Clint explained.

"Got it." Steve said.

"If you say another word I'm going to ask you to leave." Steve remained silent.


"I thought I told you not to do this unless you were serious." Clint warned. Steve nodded his head.

"I have never been more sure of anything in my life."

"I can make that change real quick." He told him before Steve nodded.

"You're the closest thing that she has to a father."

"Don't give me that, Charlotte is a big girl, she can make her own decisions." Clint tossed his comment aside.

"I know that but still, I wanted to ask your permission to marry her." Steve said those simple words. He looked at his friend with a hard glance, Clint gave him one right back.

"You know the family that you're getting into." He told him, half trying to talk the soldier out of it.

"Nothing will change my mind about this." Steve told him.

"May I see?" Clint asked looking towards the box on the table. Steve nodded his head and handed it to him. Clint opened the box and revealed an engagement ring. The band was white gold, diamonds made their way down the side of the band and faded away the top had an intricate lace design and in-between each section diamonds were placed. They all surrounded one diamond in the middle. It looked old, it then occurred to Clint who it belonged too. "Is this..?"

"My mothers? Yeah it is. Apparently after my plane went down Stark and Peggy packed up my things. They were at Shield HQ until I was found. Guess Peggy never did think I was really dead." He shrugged. Clint nodded his head and closed the box before handing it back to Steve. Steve took the box and placed it into his pocket.

"When are you planning on asking her?" Clint asked.

"Two weeks, when we go up to Asheville for a few days." He shrugged.


Charlotte stared out the window of their log cabin as the snow fell around them. Her and Steve were on vacation while she had her winter break from school. She had been excited for this trip for weeks. One of her favorite places in the entire world was Asheville and she couldn't wait to spend a week there. It wasn't too too far from her home, and the farm house, it was about a half hour drive. Just enough space to be away from her brother, but to be close enough to her niece and nephews. What puzzled Charlotte was how Steve was acting. It wasn't like him at all. She didn't want to push him into telling her what was wrong, but when she got out of bed one morning, she saw him staring outside at the snowstorm. "Whats the matter?" She asked, but he shook his head.

"Nothing."

"Steven Grant, I know that look. Whats wrong?" His head shook again and Charlotte rolled her eyes and walked away. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her close, burying his head in her stomach and placing his arms around her waist. "This isn't how I planned it." He mumbled.

"Planned what? Our winter vacation to Asheville? So it's snowing, big deal. The power isn't out, we can build a fire and watch movies all day."

"Thats not what I meant." He told her.

"Then what do you mean?" She watched as he pushed her back ever so slightly. He got down onto one knee and looked up at her. He pulled the little black box out of his pocket and held it up.

"Charlotte Anne, there are so many things that I could say to you in this moment. All of them are rushing to my head and i'm going to try my best to speak them and not sound like a mumbling idiot. In the past four years since I met you my life has changed entirely. I found a girl, who appreciates me for me, and I can appreciate her for being her. I learned so many things about this era and I couldn't have done it without one person. You. You have taught me so many things and I love it. When i'm around you I don't have to pretend to be anyone other than myself around you. You are my other half, I love it when you go out of your way to prove to me that you're right, I love the look on your face when you're concentrating. I love every little thing about you. I love waking up to you in the morning, I love going to sleep with you at night. That is something that I want to happen from now on. I love you more than anything and I just have to ask, Will you marry me?" He asked opening up the box that he held in his hands. Charlotte glanced down at him, her eyes were full of tears and her hands were placed over her mouth. Her entire body was shaking.

"Yes." She said to him with a smile. He grabbed her hand and placed the ring onto her ring finger. Charlotte threw her arms around him and placed her lips on his, capturing his lips in a sweet kiss. She held onto him tightly, never wanting to let go. "I love you more than anything." She smiled not making any movement of letting go. She was hanging onto him for dear life, and now she could hang onto him for the rest of her life.
