The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 62: A Skeleton In The Closet

Steve nods his head slightly before looking over his shoulder at Nat "what do you guys think?" He asks.

"I think you already know what we think, but it's up to you cap," Nat tells him.

Steve looks over at you pursing his lips in thought. The past month had been a nice break from everything. He wasn't sure what to do, what was best for everyone and you.

"Can we have some time to think it over?" You ask breaking Steve from his train of thought.

"Of course, you guys must be tired, the hut on the end is yours, and whatever you decide SHIELD will be watching your backs" Fury nods his head.

"Thanks Nick," Steve says standing up and taking your hand.

You and Steve walked in silence down the beach towards your designated hut. Walking inside the first thing you did was open up the shutters to get some fresh air and beat the dust and sand out of the bedding.

Steve placed your damp packs down by the door to be sorted out later before sitting down on the bed with a deep sigh.

"I didn't think we'd be straight back into everything so suddenly" Steve sighs resting his head back against his raised arm.

"Me neither what are you thinking about it all?" You ask sitting down beside him.

"I don't know, I don't like knowing that there's people out there taking advantage of the accords, I feel like I should be doing something since there isn't anyone else that can" Steve sighs keeping his eyes on the ceiling.

"Then let's help," you say making him look back at you in surprise.

"Is that what you want? Because I don't want you doing this because you think I do" Steve says sitting up and turning to face you.

"Yeah, I'll be lying if I said I didn't feel a little jealous watching the guards on Asgard train, I know we said we'd retire but that was before everything and we can't exactly do what we were planning to do during our retirement so why not fight a little longer?" You explain shrugging your shoulders slightly.

"I just feel bad because our future seems so uncertain, I don't want to fight forever" Steve sighs shaking his head.

"It won't be, we can see how this goes and if we decide after a couple of months this isn't what we want then we'll stop, change our names and go start a family in some random country," you tell him taking his hand and squeezing it.

"With a dog?" Steve asks with a small smirk making you laugh

"Yes with a dog, I swear you love the idea of a dog more than me sometimes" you laugh shaking your head at him.

"There is nothing and no one in this universe that I'll love more than you" Steve smiles cupping your cheek and bringing your lips to his for a slow and gentle kiss.

"So we've decided to give it a shot and see how it goes" you confirm once he pulls away.

"Yes but let's not tell them yet, I want this peace to last just a little bit longer" Steve smiles pulling you down so the both of you were lying down, your head resting on his chest.

"You don't have to tell me twice" you smile snuggling up closer to him.

Steve smiles wrapping his arms around you tightly, pressing a kiss to the top of your head with a contented sigh. He could feel you doze off in his arms. Your breathing becomes deep and regular. He however stayed awake a little longer thinking about getting back to the action. He knew he wasn't and couldn't be Captain America anymore but he was helping people and that's all that mattered.
