When Cassidy woke up the next morning, she smelled bacon. She smiled and got up, venturing out into the kitchen to see Steve sitting at the island drinking coffee and Nat at the stove. Steve looked up from his paper (which she thought was adorable because really who got a paper anymore?) and smiled at her.

"Good Morning sweetheart." He said, kissing you on your cheek when you hugged him.

"Mmm. Morning. What are you doing here Nat?" She asked, taking a seat on the stool next to Steve. Nat turned to them, setting two plates filled with eggs, pancakes, bacon and sausage down. "Well, since we were gone for Christmas, Thank You Tony." She grumbled. "We wanted to have it today, and since Steve can't cook without burning something, I made breakfast, and we can all make dinner." Cassidy smiled at her, taking a bite of a pancake. Nat had always been a good cook, just like she had.

"That sounds awesome, thank you both." She told them. She had felt really bad about being away from Steve on their first Christmas together, and she wanted to make it up to him. They finished breakfast and went to sit by the tree. It had started snowing, which made Cassidy extremely happy as she sat on the couch and let Nat play 'Santa'.

She handed one to Cassidy from herself and Cassidy tore off the paper like a child, that's how she always opened gifts. Steve found it adorable. It was a beautiful pair of black boots the went to just under her knee. They were the ones she had been eyeing in the store a couple weeks ago.

"Nat, I love them, thank you." She told her. Steve got one next, also from Nat. Some art supplies and the boxed set of Star Wars Dvds. Steve smiled like a little kid and set the gifts on the couch next to him. "Thank you Nat. This is perfect."

Nat handed Steve one that was Cassidy. Steve sent her a smile as he started tearing open the wrapping paper. His mouth dropped when he got the box open. It was a beautiful new black leather jacket. "Cass, this is amazing. I love it." She smiled at him as he handed her a gift from him.

Nat helped Steve pick out this gift. He had come to her a nervous wreck about what to get Cassidy for Christmas. Cassidy pulled the paper out of the bag and pulled out the beautiful cream-colored sweater she saw the same day she saw the boots. "Steve, this is beautiful. I love it." She beamed at him. He flashed her a gorgeous smile and kissed her on the cheek, surprising her as he never really showed affection in front of other people often.

After they watched A Christmas Story, Cassidy's favorite and a classic, she and Nat got to making dinner, only letting Steve help with the simple things, or else he'd burn down the apartment. Dinner had turned out amazing, and Steve couldn't believe how much food they'd made. Of course, he ate twice as much as they girls did.

They ended the night the day watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, another classic, and Cassidy had never heard Steve laugh so much. His laugh was adorable and she loved the way his chest rumbled underneath her from how she was cuddled against him.

Nat went back upstairs and after Steve shut the door, he turned to see Cassidy sitting on the couch with a small box in her hands. "What's this?" He asked, sitting down next to her. "Well, I have one more gift for you, but I wanted to wait until we were alone to do it." She told him. He smiled at her, then stuck his hand under the couch and pulled out a small box as well.

"Great minds think alike." He said, smirking at her. "You first," He told her, placing the box in her lap. She smiled and picked it up, lifting the lid off to find a beautiful hears necklace inside. "Oh, Steve…it's beautiful." She told him. "It's a locket. Open it." He said softly. She undid the clasp and gasped when it fell open. On one side there was a picture of Steve from the forties, giving that same goofy smile he gave her every day. On the other side, there was a picture of Bucky, flashing a beautiful smile at her.

Cassidy's eyes welled up with tears and she took in a ragged breath. "It's…"

"Bucky. I thought it would be nice to have both of us with you always, even if he isn't here. Do you like it?" She held out the necklace to him and turned so he could put it on her. "Steve, I love it. Thank you." Once it was around her neck, she turned to hand him the small box. "Turns out we really do think alike."

He slid the ribbon off the box carefully and pulled the top open. He froze, not able to think or breathe. "How did you…" He finally got out. "The exhibit in the museum. Tony helped. He knew how much it would mean to us if you had them." She told him.

He carefully lifted the tags out of the box and held them up. They were Bucky's tags. He thought they'd been lost with everything else. Tears came to his eyes as he slid the tags around his neck. "So, you like it?" She asked him. "I love it Cassidy. I love you." He slipped out. His eyes went wide wen he realized what he said. "Oh Cass, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it just slipped out, if you don't feel the same yet it's okay, I understand." He rambled.

"Steve stop." She chuckled, taking his hands in hers. "I love you too. I think I've known it for a while." She yelped when Steve pulled her into his lap. She smiled as she leaned down to kiss him. "Say it again, please." Steve whispered. She leaned back and placed her hands on the sides of his face.

"I love you, Steven Grant Rogers." He smiled and surged up to kiss her, tangling his hands in her hair. Cassidy ran her hands underneath his shirt, smiling when she felt him shiver under his touch. She pulled it over his head and started kissing down his jaw and neck slowly. Steve hands tightened around her waist when she started placing kisses down his chest. "Cassidy." He whispered. "Just relax Steve. You'll like it, I promise." She whispered into his skin.

Cassidy slid onto the floor, in between his legs running her hands down his chest and resting on his hips. She looked up at him and dammit if he didn't look sexy as hell, hair disheveled, lips swollen, desire in his eyes. She could feel her mouth watering. She pulled at the waist of his sweatpants and he tensed.

"Do you want me to stop?" She asked softly. She wasn't going to pressure him into anything he wasn't ready for. He shook his head at her, running his thumb under her cheek. She smiled, tugging at the waistband of his pants. He lifted just a little, enough that she was able to slide them down, letting him slip free. Her mouth dropped. Holy shit. For a second, she wondered if the serum had anything to do with it.

"Is something wrong?" He asked her worriedly, She shook her head fast. "Nope, definitely not." She looked up at him as she slid her tongue from the base to the tip. He was already fully hard, and it was impressive. He watched her as she swirled her tongue around the tip, his mouth falling open.

When she took him into her mouth, his head fell back against the couch, eyes closed. He felt even bigger in her mouth than he did in her hand, and although he liked to think she didn't have a gag reflex, she still couldn't take all of him. She worked slowly with her mouth and hands, listening to his breath quicken.

Steve looked down at her and it was the sexiest thing he'd ever seen. He moaned and gripped the couch cushions harder, knowing he wouldn't last much longer, it had been such a long time. "Cass." He whispered. She moaned around him and it sent him over the edge, and he wasn't able to stop himself,

It surprised Cassidy when he came down her throat, but she took it all. She pulled off slowly with a soft pop and crawled back up onto the couch next to him, helping him slip back into his pants. "Was that okay?" She asked. Steve looked at her with a dazed look and smiled. "Yeah, it was amazing."

She smiled and leaned into him, watching the lights twinkle on the tree.

"Merry Christmas Steve."

"Merry Christmas Sweetheart."
