A/n: You guys, schools almost out, and then I'm going to be a senior... O.o anyone else know what they're doing with their life after high school, I don't have a clue... On a brighter note, this guy I've been crushing on since I was a freshman came to the school yesterday after school was out and I was finishing something. xD thought I'd share that with you guys. Anyways, it's been a while, so here's an especially fluffy chapter ten! :3 I don't own AoS or the Avengers. With that being said, here's the new chapter, and as always, enjoy! ^~^

"And I haven't felt this way in a long time." Steve sighed. Thor acknowledged him with a slow nod.

"No pun intended since you really couldn't have from inside of a block of ice, right?" Natasha said with a smirk as she walked by. Steve just stared at the spot she had walked past before laughing humorlessly.

"I guess she's right, but that doesn't change the way I feel about Skye."

"Lady Skye, does she remind you at all of the lady Carter that you wanted to court before?"

"No." Steve answered back quickly and truthfully.

"Peggy, she was kind, and nice to me. But when someone needed to be put in check, she made sure of it. And Skye, Skye's kind of her opposite. Snarky, causes trouble, but she's so... Understanding of me in my situation here. She helps me, and doesn't get frustrated if it takes me longer than it should to pick up things. She loves to play pranks on people, Peggy was always so serious about everything. Then again, we were trying to fight a war..." Steve went on. Thor cracked at smirk down at him.

"Well my friend, I may not know your situation personally, but I can tell you, that what you're feeling for Lady Skye? Is what I feel for Jane. And I suggest that you make your feelings known. A repeat of what happened last time is slim, but you understand what I speak of. Things don't always go as planned, take it from someone who made a promise to someone he truly loves, that he would be back within the hour, and didn't show up for another two years. You know what is at stake, don't make the same foolish mistake countless others have." With that Thor squeezed Steve's shoulder, before standing up and leaving the room.

Steve's heart was racing with Thor's words. He was absolutely right. Steve had been stuck in ice before he had gotten to tell Peggy what he wanted to then, and he wasn't about to let something else keep him from telling Skye the same thing. With newfound determination, he stood from the couch and left the room, walking up the halls in search of Skye with purpose. Halfway down the hall leading to her room, he was stopped by two of the people that had come along with Skye.

"Oh Fitz look, It's him!" Jemma squealed in delight.

"Yes Jemma, I see him."

"Hi, Mr. Rogers. Can I just say it's a pleasure to finally meet you. Coulson just loves you. By the way, did you know-"

"Jemma lets go, he looks busy." Leo said, grabbing her arm.

"Yeah but Fitz-"

"Terribly sorry, she just gets so excited sometimes, and- oh my god, w-was that Doctor Banner?" Leo's eyes widened, and this caught Jemma's attention.

"He's right, things to do, we better be off!" Jemma said with a smile before tugging Leo off in the direction he had said. Steve furrowed his brow at them for a second, before shaking his head and continuing to Skye's room. He knocked on the door.

"Skye?" He called, and waited. After a while he figured she wasn't in there, so he thought over all of the places she would be. Training room, Grant's room, - he wasn't overly ecstatic about that one being the case- living room, kitchen... He settled on the kitchen, and headed that way. As he rounded the corner, Skye was leaving the kitchen.

"Skye!" He called her name, before quickly catching up to her. She turned her head at the sound of her name, and saw him. She smiled as she turned all the way.

"Oh, hey Steve-" When he was finally close enough to touch her he lightly grasped her face and connected his lips with hers. She blinked a few times before slowly kissing him back, and wrapping one hand around the back of his neck, while the other rested on his chest. When he finally pulled away from her to let them both breath, she slowly smiled up at him.

"What was that?" She asked quietly. Staring into her eyes he answered,

"I lost the one person that meant everything to me once. Im not going to let that happen again. I care about you Skye, and believe me when I say I would do anything to keep you safe, even if you're capable of doing it yourself. I want you to trust me, because I trust you." Skye was bitting her lip as he told her all of this. She took a deep breath when he was done before beginning.

"Wow, that was the, sweetest thing anyone's ever told me." Skye said, laughing slightly before smiling up at him.

"Steve, I trust you. I will always trust you." She reassured him. He smiled down at her.

"Great. So ah, sorry about kissing you. It just kind of happened..."

"It's okay Steve. You know, I wouldn't be opposed to doing it again, if you weren't...?"

"No, definitely not." He said airily.

"Great." She repeated with a smile, before wrapping both arms around his neck and pulling his lips down to hers.
