★— THE COOLEST BREEZE brushed by that sweltering summer day, and all Steve could do was give Ororo a nod of thanks, thinking that she probably had something to do with that, just as he carded his fingertips through locks of blond in an attempt to sweep up as much as he could, though most remained matted to his forehead with sweat.
Taking a step back and ADMIRING the now clean, white wall that they had spent the last couple of hours painting — doing the community a service and helping clean up some public spaces, adorning their civvies. Initially, Steve had presumed this wasn’t much of her thing, but surprisingly she got her hands dirty and charged on like a trooper, of course doing nothing but the best. Needless to say, she was full of surprises.
❛Now we wait for it to try, go head off for a nice cool glass of lemonade. Unless y’wanna watch it dry? I’d ask if you could kick up a gust to help speed it up so we could start doin’ the neat stuff but that takes all the fun out of it – y’know it’s always SO much more rewarding after you’ve let it try naturally and then come back… So as I was saying, a pitcher of lemonade and lots of ice.❜
POPPING the collar on his leather jacket as he peered toward the mirror momentarily, just to ensure that he looked somewhat PRESENTABLE. Though he was teasing with their question – he knew that heroic duties often raised a HECK of an appetite — there was a lot of physical work involved, and even if it WAS using their abilities, their metabolism required sustenance.
A hint of a smirk edged upon the corner of his lips, and he turned to face Ororo, pushing his hair into that slick swoop that he was known for – giving it a bit of freedom away from the winged cowl.
❛I was considerin’ headin’ out now — and you’re MORE than welcome to join me, in fact, I’d be HONOURED if you would? I know a great Italian place, ain’t too far of a walk from here. Used to go there all the time.❜
★— [[ ;; MANDY…… !!!! Thank you so so so much for this random cuteness, this is a GREAT reminder. Steve also loves Ororo and he loves crashing her wedding, of course. Y’know, the usual jazz. Thank you for being SUPER awesome and I hope you have a fantastic day, mother storm. ]]
★— PERHAPS NOT AS MAINTAINED as he was used to being, so used to being well kept – clean and polished as was drummed into him, but when sadness looms that GROOMING seems to dissipate – the reasoning, the logic behind looking his best when he felt otherwise flies out of the window.
But— strangely enough, he’d been getting compliments. Seeing how Storm lit up when she looked at him this way made him a LITTLE self conscious, he’d admit. A hand tentatively skimming over the rough beard— but if anyone he should take a compliment from, it was her; a woman that could rock any hairdo she so chose, always maintaining confidence and poise.
❛ I was thinkin’ of shavin’ once I get back home, but you’re makin’ me think that maybe it’s best if I keep it. ❜
★— IT WAS AN AWKWARD MOMENT IN TIME when Ororo had asked, and in that moment Steve seemed to stare into the distance as a flashback entered his mind.
—- Romancing was never his strong point, yet he could vividly remember that time that the Captain stepped out with whipped cream and– a banana where it shouldn’t have been. Plus, cherries as a perfect topping.
The things a younger-him did for love.
Quickly he snapped out of the daze, looking up at Ororo — with a PLEADING look in his eyes.
❛D’ya want to go for a toffee sundae instead? ❜
if she weren’t an adult ( or a former goddess, a former queen or an x-men ) she’d have been pouting. so much for a playful argument. she’ll have to find something else to pick a playful fight with. how utterly boring this was.
but he’s right. it is a uniform the people can trust. it’s something that the world needs nowadays. it’s that kind of sentiment that evaporates her playful teasing. “you’re a national icons. steve.”
she’s laughing, shakes her head, white curls bouncing over her shoulders. “It’s something I’m used to.” Goddess, black women with white hair in America, known x-men. Looks and stares and attention, it’s all something she’s used to. She didn’t have a choice but to get used to it.
When she flashes a grin at Steve, her entire face lights up, azure eyes entirely playful. “Who wouldn’t admire a living breathing Goddess?”
★— ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN MODESTY, he knows that his star is a symbol for the nation – that it STANDS for something that is beyond him as a person – it is the mantle of Captain America that people hold SACRED. He’s a symbol of hope, and he adorns that with pride, despite his flushed complexion, and that rub of his hand along the back of his neck.
❛ That’s a fair point, but c’mon it MUST be overwhelming at points. I get a bit exhausted not being able to go for my sunday stroll in my civvies, yet alone having to deal with a stockpile of mail when I get back to the mansion. ❜
★—
VALENTINES DAY was just around the corner, and as much as Steve wasn’t too into celebrating for it, he did appreciate how it was nice to have a festivity about LOVE and appreciating others. There was nothing bad about having a day to express your feelings, even though he was a FIRM believer in expressing love and affection while you could, as he had experienced, time was and is fleeting.Whilst in a corner, minding his own business he was suddenly greeted by the touch of rather soft lips against his cheeks, and instantly as a knee-jerk reaction that he had WISHED he could control, his cheeks flared up with heat, a rouge dusting over his cheekbones, getting brighter and brighter the moment he caught sight of Storm, the CULPRIT.What was he to say to that, asides from the embarrassed gibberish that was now escaping his mouth.
❛ Gee—Thanks Ororo, happy Valentines to you too. I you’ve got a bed of roses waitin’ for you at home set down by one of your admirers. ❜
He chuckled, returning a delicate kiss to the top of her head, which seemed tentative, but still tender.
★— BEFORE HE KNEW IT he was NABBED into a face hold— with a soft delicate touch to his cheeks, which had immediately FLARED up with a pink rouge as the heat now danced along the spot that had met those gentle lips. CAUGHT OFF GUARD — Steve had an oddly aloof smile catching his own lips, brows raised in her direction trying to NOT lose his balance as he was kept upright by his two now weak knees.
❛I don’t know what that was for, but I’m goin’ to assume you’re feelin’ GENEROUS today.
❜
Steve Rogers was your average kid, a who had nothing. He grew up during the great depression which resulted in him later on having a great value for everything that he now receives. He was meek as a child and was constantly bullied for his small size, that added to the fact that he had an extremely poor immune system and was diagnosed with every ailment and illness under the sun. Instead he continued with his education, specialising in arts where he constantly depicted himself as a super-hero, or drew heroes that could help save him.
After his mother (Sarah) passed away he faced a severe depression which he masked by engulfing himself in his pursuit of achieving his dream; joining the army and following in the footsteps of his father (Joseph).
He was constantly rejected. Time after time due to his small stature until he was taken on board project ‘rebirth’ where with the assistance of Howard Stark’s technology and Dr Josef Reinstien – he was turned into a super soldier. Initially he was a poster boy, being used for marketing campaigns by the US army in order to encourage recruitment as well as help improve the general PR image.
Breaking the rules and letting his complex get in the way, he decided to take down US’s number one enemy at the time – the Red Skull.
It was during a fight with Baron Zemo - that he had lost his best friend, Bucky Barnes in a tragic fall when the boy wonder was strapped to a rocket. Steve watched the rocket explode and that image had forever haunted his nightmares.
Taking down the Red Skull, he managed to save the country – however, it involved extreme self sacrifice as he steered the plane he was in into the sea. Luckily enough, it was preserved in ice as the sub-zero conditions froze Steve in a block of ice for a number of decades. The super-soldier serum is what had kept him alive all this time, preserved in ice until eventually he was thawed free – waking up, confused, dazed and delusional.
