A/N: I'm finally back!~
Anyone waited for this chapter?
I finally finished with my math final for this year and I got 90! I'm so happy since I had mostly fail during the year but I got 90!~
So for this happy moment, I give you, Chapter 7:


When Steve woke up, he could swear he was dead. Everything was so...empty around him. There were no people around. Just a park. It reminded him the park Tony took him to once. So he started walking, hoping to find the one thing he wanted to find: Tony.
But the place was lifeless.

Soon enough he reached the lake. He saw a figure sitting there, so he run to its direction, hoping it was Tony.
"Bucky...?" Steve asked surprised. Bucky turned to look at Steve. At first he was surprised, but then the smiled and told Steve to sit next to him.
"Long time no seen~" he tapped on his friend's shoulder.
"Yeah..." Steve smiled lightly, "where are we..?" He asked in wonder. He knew that was a park, but where exactly?

"Hm...It's an excellent question Stevie~" Bucky said amused, "I'll get to it. Later." He looked at the lake, and Steve look at it as well, seeing Tony, crying over what seemed his body in the hospital.
"You mean a lot to him…" Bucky said quietly.
"He means a lot to me too." Steve said in light worry. He was finally having fun, he finally met an amazing person who loved him, and he loved him back.
And in one day, it all crushed. He really thought he got more time…but he left Tony all alone. The one thing he never wanted to do after all of Tony's help.

"He's suffering Steve. Why are you here?" Bucky asked after a while. Steve looked at him confused.
"I don't even know where it's 'here'."
"Up here, with me, looking at your love suffering." Bucky looked at his friend, "you were never supposed to end in a grave next to me Steve. You are supposed to get back and start the life that waits you down there, with that guy."
Steve looked at Tony. Tony did want them to get married…
'Maybe even start a family.'
"You look good." Bucky noted, Steve looked at himself. He looked different. Less skinny...more healthy...
He looked good.

"Is it a dream?"
Bucky chuckled. "That's your answer for everything. No Steve, it's not a dream."
"Then what?"
"Go back, end his and yours suffer, start the family and life you always dreamt of." Bucky looked at Steve, ignoring the question, "be happy. And keep him close. He's a good man Steve. "
Steve nodded lightly. "I know. He's amazing. He took a stranger to his house and took care of him until his last breath…"
"It wasn't your last breath. " Bucky looked at Steve, "close your eyes..." Steve obeyed.
The next thing he felt was a pair of soft and warm lips against his own..He recognized that feeling well...

"Ah..!" Steve woke up surprised, looking around him as he panted. "Wha...what...?" He looked to his side, noticing that Tony is no less surprised that he is...
"T-Tony..? I-I'm alive..?" Steve tried to understand what's going on..
Tony smiled as he cried and hugged Steve tightly."I-I did it.. I'm so glad.. I really thought I lost you..!" Tony hugged Steve tighter.
Steve hugged Tony back, enjoying the warm feeling. He's okay...he's really okay...
And he actually felt better.
"Tony...thank you so much..." He said quietly, feeling tears, "you save me, you helped me. You gave me a home when I had no one…I love you. "

"I'm sorry you missed Christmas..."
"What about new year..?" Steve asked in hope like voice.
"It's today's evening." Tony said as he looked at the date in his cell phone. He looked back at Steve and stroked his cheek lightly, smiling.
Steve was with him, Steve was cured. And he's going to be with him.
"Can we celebrate it instead? To start the new year together...?" Steve begged, leaning forward closer to Tony's face.
Tony smiled, "Of course~ anything for you~"
Steve kissed Tony deeply.

"Wow...there's still so much food..." Steve said surprised as he looked into the refrigerator.
"Yeah. I ordered food since I was really busy..." Tony smiled lightly. Steve looked at Tony in worry. He knew that the past week was really hard for Tony...he tried so hard for him and gave him so much love...
"Tony..." Steve was quietly and walked to his lover's direction. The fact he became taller than Tony was still weird for him, but he guessed they'd get used to it. Tony looked at Steve in wonder. Steve hugged him tightly.
"You gave me life Tony...you gave me chance to live normally..." He said quietly, "I'd never be able to repay you..."

"There's a way.. Stay with me forever.."
Steve looked at Tony and kissed him. "I promise..." He said quietly, "I'm hungry..."
"Then let's eat something..." Tony smiled.
"But I want to wait until today's evening..." Steve pouted.
Tony rolled his eyes amused. "You're going to eat. Now shut up."

"Wow...you really tried for today..." Steve said as he saw the living room. The only light was the candle light on the table, a bottle of wine, and he even arranged the table.
Tony did all of this while he was in the shower.
"You said you wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve instead of Christmas so I wanted you to enjoy it~"
Steve kissed Tony's cheek. "Thank you, that's so sweet..." He smiled lightly.

They ate, talked, laughed and drank. Steve had fun. He finally could live how he wanted to. To be free, to eat how much he wanted, to get outside without being afraid that something would happen to him. He could live like a normal person.

And he'd forever be thankful for Tony for giving him life...

After dinner, they just sat together, under a blanket like they did before and watched the falling snow, counting the minutes until the New Year.
As soon as it was midnight, Tony kissed Steve deeply, mumbling a 'happy new year' against his lips.
Right then, not far away, fireworks started. Steve rested his head on Tony's head and the both of them enjoyed the show.
Steve smiled and closed his eyes.

Steve woke up in the morning, Tony was smiling at him. "Good morning beautiful~" he said and kissed Steve.
It took Steve a while to get what's going on.
They were in the living room under the blanket. The table was clean from last night's dinner and outside everything was white.
"I'm...I'm not dead...?" Steve asked a bit surprised.
"Of course not..." Tony said confused, "you woke last night."
Steve looked at himself. He was wearing Tony's clothes which were small on him.
That's right...the serum worked...
Tony saved him.

"Happy new year Tony~" Steve smiled and kissed the brunet, enjoying the feeling if his warm lips against his own, "thank you for yesterday..."
"Anytime." Tony smiled, "Hm...I actually got you something..."
"Not fair Tony." Steve pouted, "Stop giving me stuff, you gave me my life and it's something I'd never be able to repay..."
"Steve, when you love someone, you're not writing him a debt. You do the stuff you do because you love them, and you want them to know that..." Tony gave a box to Steve. Even though they knew each other for nearly 4 months, he had a good feeling about Steve, he wanted him to stay with him, as a close person...

"I know it's early but...I believe it's the right time..."
Steve took the box from Tony and opened it. There was a beautiful silver ring with a golden sign of infinity.
"It's because I want you to stay forever with me...for the rest of our lives."
Steve looked at the ring and checked it between his fingers. It looked absolutely beautiful...
He ever noticed little diamonds on it. Steve looked at Tony. "You'll be there for me forever...?"

"Forever..." Tony wore the ring on Steve's fingers and kissed his fiancé deeply, "it's a promise..."
Steve smiled as he blushed and kissed Tony, "I love you..~" he said.
"I love you too Steve..." Tony begged Steve close to himself. He wanted him to stay close...
Really close...


Okay, this is the ending but there would be an epilogue.
I hope you enjoyed it~
