Prompt: Snow Angel
Fandom: MCU
Pairing: Steve Rogers x OFC
Another week had ended. This mission was gonna give him nightmares for days to come. He couldn't wait to see Reagan. She always made everything better and could always put a smile on his lips and right now that's exactly what he needed. They had been together for a year now and he was happy, really happy. After Peggy's death, he thought he would never be that happy again, but he was. Not only did she love him, she loved his team as if they were her own family. That just made him love her even more.
A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts. Telling whoever it was to come in, he was happily surprised to see Reagan walking into his room at the compound.
- "Reagan? Is everything okay?"
- "Hello to you too." – Reagan chuckled at his reaction.
- "Sorry, it was a long week. Hi." – He smiled and pulled her into a kiss.
- "I figured. The way you sounded earlier on the phone, I could tell that this was a hard one, so I decided to drop by and take you out to dinner, just the two of us. So, what do you say?"
- "That sounds great, sweetheart. Let me just…" – Steve is interrupted by his phone signaling a new text message had come in. Looking it over, he saw it was from Wanda and that she wanted the whole team to meet her at the common room.
- "Wanda wants the team in the common room. Wanna come?"
- "Sure, why not. It could be interesting seeing you all in action." – Steve threw his arm around her waist and led her down to the bullpen.
Steve saw Reagan greet everyone, before coming back to his side. They both settle in on a conversation with Bucky and Sam about military life. Reagan had been a Marine before getting medically discharged, so the three of them were always comparing stories. He couldn't help but be amazed at how his team had quickly welcomed her into the fold.
The unmistakable sound of Wanda's voice was heard long before they even saw her. Steve saw her coming into the common room with a shy smile on her lips. He knew it wasn't easy for Wanda but it always amazed him how she could so easily open her heart to those who knew how to open it.
Sam was the first to speak, asking her if there was a new mission. Steve sure hoped there wasn't. He couldn't handle a new mission just now. He saw Wanda avoid everyone's questions, not giving any direct answers. When she asked them to follow her, they all did. He knew Wanda would never do anything too outrageous, so he grabbed Reagan's hand and brought her along with them.
The plot thickened when they got outside. She was talking as they made their way out the door into the snow-covered front lawn. Steve looked at Reagan and saw that she had this bright smile on her lips and he had to smile as well.
- "Do you know what Wanda is up to?"
- "Nope, but I have a pretty good idea." – Reagan answered him, a smile on her lips, before kissing him.
That's when he heard Wanda asking them to make snow angels with her and Vision. "Really? Snow angels?", he thought, "Well, at least is not to start caroling." Clint and Sam were the first to go, followed by Natasha and Bruce and, finally, Tony, Rhodey and Bucky. He, however, wasn't so sure it would be a good idea.
- "You know you have to do it. If you don't, she will feel hurt. Besides, it's a good team exercise." – Reagan whispered.
- "Do you think I should?"
- "You're off the clock, babe. You all need this. Just do it." – That's the last thing she said to him, before pushing him into the snow and falling on her back right beside him.
She was right. He needed that. He could hear the laughter that something as simple as making snow angels was supplying. Reagan was laying next to him, looking at him, a loving look in her eyes. How could he not love her even more at that moment?
Suddenly, he's hit by a snowball. Reagan was the one who threw it and looking over at his team, he saw that a snowball fight had begun. Snowballs were flying everywhere. He threw a few, hitting Reagan, Bucky and Sam and nearly hitting Tony.
That's when he saw Wanda, just standing there, completely lost in thought. Steve grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at her, hitting her across the face. She looked so stunned, it was impossible not to laugh. She took that as her cue to attack him.
Eventually, they all went back to where the angels had been made.
- "Thank you, Wanda. We definitely needed this." – Steve said to her, a smile on his lips, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and giving her a sideways hug, before saying his goodbyes.
He saw Reagan hug Wanda tight and whisper something in her ear.
- "Everything okay?"
- "Yeah, I just thought she needed to know how amazing she is." – Reagan answered him, a smile on her lips.
- "Have I told you how much I love you?"
- "Not in the last hour, no." – Steve grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close. Kissing her passionately, there were no words needed.
Steve loved her deeply and he knew she felt the same. Despite the chaotic hours his job entailed, she was always there for him. And that night was just another reminder of how much she loved him. He had to be honest, he was scared to do something that might cause him to lose her. He couldn't go through that again, but he was determined not to make the same mistakes he did in the past. This time, he was gonna make it last.
