A/N: Hey y'all! Sorry its been so long since I updated, I hope this makes up for it!
While Steve was over at Kiara's, the two were sitting at her kitchen table, discussing Kiara's childhood. "So, Kiara, tell me about your childhood." He smiled.
"There really isn't all that much to discuss." She sighed, looking away.
"What happened?"
Kiara ran her fingers through her hair, and then looked up at Steve, meeting his gorgeous blue eyes. "My dad, was an abusive alcoholic…my mom, well, she took my dad's crap, she believed he could change. Dad believed he was the way he was because of his dad, and how he was raised in a military family. Basically, I don't like to remember my childhood, and when I turned 18, I moved out here."
Steve rubbed her back. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up such a painful time in your past."
Kiara ran her fingers through her hair. "It's fine Steve." She looked at him and he nodded. "What about you?" she asked.
"What about me?" Steve asked.
"Your parents and your childhood?"
Steve sighed. "Well, of course it was a long time ago." He chuckled. "However, my father died when I was young, and my mother passed away from pneumonia after I graduated from high school."
Kiara nodded slowly. "Oh, I'm sorry."
Steve shrugged. "It's alright. Obviously I made it through life ok. Well, life before I froze." He chuckled.
"You seem to be doing fine now." Kiara smiled.
"All thanks to a friend." Steve smiled back at her. Something about Kiara just made Steve happy. She was beautiful, kind, smart, funny, and just everything perfect. Why would she even like a guy like him? He was technically much older than her, but he didn't look a day over the age he was back in the 40's.
Kiara looked at Steve. "Can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"I like you." She blushed.
"Pardon?" Steve asked.
"I like you Steve. Like, not in just a friend like…as in a like that when I see you, I get butterflies in my stomach and stuff." She blushed.
Steve looked at her. "I like you too."
Kiara looked at him. "Really?"
Steve chuckled. "Really."
Kiara smiled and turned in her seat, leaning forward, touching her lips to Steve's. The spark between them was undeniable. Steve deepened the kiss, cupping Kiara's face in his hand. She pulled away and smiled, blushing. "Wow." She whispered.
"Wow indeed." Steve smiled.
