SHELTER – STEVE ROGERS

When Tony announced that the team would be attending the famous Met Gala, (Y/N) got very excited and couldn’t wait for the big day. It was because this was her first Met Gala. Ever since she became a part of the Avengers family, she attended parties and festivals with the team – or mostly with Tony because for a moment she could feel like a star. Not that she was a diva like Tony, no. She just wanted to live her life fully and enjoy every moment. This time, the whole team, and not only Tony, was going to the Gala too. Y/N forced them a little – mostly the male part of their group.

“(Y/N) are you ready?” Natasha shouted from the living room. The two of them and Wanda were settled in a hotel room, preparing for the night. There was a hairdresser, a makeup artist and also a stylist who brought all the dresses that were paid by Tony. “Get out of the bathroom! We have to leave in fifteen minutes and I really need to use the bathroom! And no, I’m not kidding,” she put on very expensive and massive silver earrings perfectly fitting with her red and silver dress.

The theme for this year’s Met Gala was Steampunk and it was up to the stars if they wanted to put on clothing that represents the theme or not. Natasha wasn’t that kind of a woman. She preferred a fancy dress and she didn’t even have the time to create something with her stylists. “Hurry up, (Y/N),” Wanda sighed, getting impatient. “I really want to see you! You said you are going to wear an outfit perfectly fitting for this Gala. Move your ass. I’m getting impatient and excited at the same time.”

The door to the bathroom finally opened and the young woman came out, fully prepared for the night. She had a huge shy smile on her face. When Natasha and Wanda saw her, they were stunned. (Y/N) was wearing a black corset that looked like a west with a heart-shaped neckline and it had a black flourish pattern with leather edging. It had two leather belts with a small leather pocket that had a metal opening. The corset also had two other leather straps, going from the right breast to the left hip. The last touch was the leather collar serving as a necklace. Eyes falling down, they noticed a massive skirt that had a short front and a very long back. Y/N combined a modern style with steampunk and it was amazing. The material was mostly leather with satin sewed from the inside. It wouldn’t be complete without custom-made mid-thigh high boots of the same colour as the dress was. For accessories, she chose typical steampunk glasses on the top of her head. (Y/N) with the hairdresser’s permission had chosen a very high ponytail for the occasion. They even had to put hair extensions so her hair was twice longer than it actually was. On each side, she had a custom-made steampunk gun.

“Is it too much?” she asked carefully when the people were quiet.

“You are going to steal the Gala,” Wanda smiled at her, stepping closer and gently touching the skirt and corset. “Damn, this looks amazing. But hey, let’s be honest, this is you-you love dressing up for Halloween and masquerade.”

“Well, Steve is going to be speechless,” Natasha smirked at (Y/N), eyes never leaving hers.

“What do you mean?” she asked, shiver coming down her spine. She and Steve were always good friends, but since last mission, they started to spend a lot of time together and thus the feelings changed. She had a massive crush on him. However, she was afraid of making a move – hell, she was a little scared of a relationship. Last time she was in a serious one and it ended with a snap of fingers. Her ex-broke her heart. He found another one, slightly younger and beautiful.

Wanda nudged her shoulder. “You really don’t see it? (Y/N), that man is crazy about you!”

She breathed. “Okay, yes, I admit, I might have noticed something,” and she bit her lower lip. “It’s just… I don’t know. He’s my friend and I don’t want to screw it up.”

The red-haired woman rolled her eyes. “It’s been a year and you are still alone. You need someone and he’s the perfect one! The way he looks at you, even your ex never looked at you like that. When we were on a mission in Amsterdam, you two were permanently together. You two have this amazing chemistry. Okay, yes, you were in a relationship, which was slowly destroying you from inside – let’s be honest – and you and Steve were and still are perfect together – friends or maybe something more.” Natasha grabbed her hands and a smile stayed on her face. “Why don’t you talk tonight?”

“I should be sitting next to him but I’ll give my place to you and I’ll be sitting next to Bucky or Sam,” Wanda offered her. “Deal?”

(Y/N) nodded, her cheeks turned pink and she quickly bit her index finger. “Now, go to the bathroom so we can leave. There are hundreds of photographers waiting there and thousands of people to meet. Fuck, I’m really nervous now.”

…

There she was, looking from behind a window at the crowd of people in fancy dresses and suits. Natasha went with Wanda in a different car because Tony arranged it like that. The whole team would meet on the red carpet or at their table. She took a last deep breath and the door opened for her. An older man helped her get out of the car by setting his arm.

“Thank you,” she said politely, smiling at him. And then it all started.

(Y/N), over here!  No, come here!   Miss (Y/L/N) can you come here for a picture?!

It was weird – going up the stairs, people shouting her name when she was alone. There was no one to hold her hand and support her. A sincere smile appeared on her face and she went right up the stairs where the organizers showed her to go. The flashes were unpleasant but it was only for a couple of minutes. They needed to see her in the dress. They were craving for her, to take a photo from every side. Another deep breath and… her eyes found them – the perfect couple. Her ex and his new girlfriend were standing a few meters from (Y/N), taking pictures and occasionally kissing. How was it even possible they would be attending a thing like this? Her stomach turned. They were making her sick.

“(Y/N), pose for us!” someone shouted out loud, making her wince a little. There was no time for running away. The only solution she quickly made was to act cool and enjoy the red carpet. She put her hand on a hip and smiled for the photographers, trying to ignore the happy couple. She was sure they were both looking at her, if not talking about the girl. The woman changed a pose and made a face like a rock star.

It was time to move to the main stage where the biggest hunger for photos was. Trying to act cool, she slowly went up, step by step, watching her feet. It would be very embarrassing if had fallen on the red carpet right in front of the “happy couple” and the photographers.

“(Y/N)!” a familiar voice screamed her name. The (h/c)-haired girl turned around and saw the man who caused her butterflies in the stomach. Steve was wearing a typical black tux with a black tie. He was quickly approaching to her, spreading his arms for a warm hug. “Hi!” he smiled like an angel and pulled her into his warm embrace. When he pulled away, his eyes were scanning her from head to toes. “God, you look absolutely stunning!”

“Thank you very much, charming,” you made a grimace. “You look cute too. As usual. When was the last time we saw each other – during breakfast?” she laughed.

“Please, pose for us!” a shout interrupted their short conversation. With that, Steve put the feminine body closer to his and they gave them what they wanted. Luckily, they both loved being silly-the Captain had his funny side too- and they started to make faces. He couldn’t take this whole thing seriously and she loved having fun like this. All celebrities were serious, even Tony and Natasha, trying to look innocent, sweet and sexy at the same time. Steve and (Y/N) weren’t like the rest of the people. They only wanted to have a great time.

“I have to go,” he suddenly whispered into her ear and gently stroked her back. “I’ll see you inside.”

…

“I’m so glad the party is finally starting. All those speeches and everything, it was so annoying,” said Sam very loudly, who was sitting right opposite (Y/N). His hands were on the table and he was playing with his wine glass. “Who wants to dance with me, ladies?” he looked at Wanda, Natasha and later and (Y/N). Her eyes were fixed on her white napkin and she had a little smile on her face. The girl was enjoying this night. It wasn’t that horrible. She ignored her ex and his new girl and her mind was focused on her friends and Steve who made her laugh every five minutes. She was sitting next to Bucky and they had a great time. “Come on girls! There are great songs and I want to dance! It’s party time,” he was like a child.

“I hate this song,” Wanda sighed and took the wine glass between her fingers. “Can we wait for another five minutes? Then it will be my honour to dance with you, Wilson. You have the greatest moves.”

(Y/N)’s (e/c) eyes looked from side to side. She saw Tony whispering something into Pepper’s ear and she was smiling. They were gorgeous together. This was the perfect, happy couple. It was pure and even she could feel the love. It only made her smile more.

“Hey, what’s that thing on your face?” Steve leaned closer to her, making the girl wince a little. Her eyes found his. “Why are you smiling?” he asked again, also smiling. “Tell me.”

“It’s just,” she breathed, leaned closer to him and started to talk to his ear. The music was loud and they were playing crazy party songs. It all made the communication harder. “When I see Tony and Pepper, I just have to smile. Just look at them – they are happy and adorable. If there was a competition for the cutest couple in the world, they would win. And,” her voice changed from very positive to more sad. “I just hope that one day, I’ll have what they have.”

Cap put a hand on the woman’s shoulder and gently caressed it. “You will,” he replied. “One day, you’ll be as happy as they are.”

When they looked into each other’s eyes, the world stopped spinning for a while. It was just them sharing a moment together. Her heart was beating fast, not slowing down. Once again, those butterflies were back in her stomach, tickling her a little. Yes, she was definitely in love with this man and he probably didn’t even know it. The girls were right. She should do something about it.

“Hey, birds!” Sam interrupted their moment. “It’s dance time! Come on!”

“Do you want a dance-off?” (Y/N) kinked a brow and smirked.

“You think you are better than me?” the man made a grimace.  Steve was even goofier than she thought. “Let’s go. I want to see your moves, (Y/L/N).”

A moment later, the Avengers family was on the dance floor, showing their best dance moves. The music changed and rock music was on. They created a circle and each of them went inside for a few seconds. The people who made the circle swayed from side to side, clapping their hands and the person inside did their best to impress everyone. Sam danced like his life depended on it. Some of the moves were very sensual and the other one was funny. When he ended, he grabbed (Y/N)’s hand and dragged her inside the circle. “Your turn!”

The woman playfully rolled her (e/c) eyes and started to move. Luckily, the genre didn’t change and she could dance to her favourite song Raise Hell. Her hands were in the air, hips moving from side to side and occasionally jumping to face a different person. When she turned to Stebe, he went closer to her and did exactly the same move as she did. It was funny but pretty much intimate. Together, they were singing the lyrics – well, screaming would be the proper word. The rest of the friends were laughing at them.

The song ended and the people started clapping, whistling and screaming from excitement. So did (Y/N) and Steve. Even laughter escaped their throats. Before they could notice, the rest of the team was gone and they were standing in the middle of the crowd alone, when (Y/N)’s favourite song started to play. The soft guitar tune started to play and she had to smile.

“Care for a dance?” Steve asked her when she slowly turned to him. And she accepted. One hand appeared on her waist while the other took hers and he pulled her closer to him. Her other hand rested on his chest. The people around them were too slow-dancing with a partner. The two of them were making leisure moves, enjoying each other’s company. It was very nice and very romantic.

They were quiet for a couple of seconds before he started to speak again. “Have I told you how beautiful you are?” he said to her ear, his voice being confident and serious. (Y/N) couldn’t reply, because he continued. “Have I told you how amazing you are?” The sides of their heads were touching. “Have I told you how you make me feel when I’m with you?” The blond man was still whispering to her ear, even when some of the people noticed how they were dancing. “I wish this moment would never end,” he dryly gulped.

(Y/N)’s eyes were closed the whole time while he was talking to her. Maybe she looked sad from the outside, but inside, her soul was jumping from happiness. He was always sweet, caring and this was something her heart was dreaming for the past few months. “I too wish it,” she replied calmly, deeply inhaling his perfume. “I wish this night would never end.”

They gently pulled their heads away, but not very far. Their eyes met before they fell to her lips. Hers did the same. The girl took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Steve leaned closer, his lips softly brushing against hers. As if he was scared to kiss her. When he was sure she wouldn’t run away, their lips finally connected in a very gentle and romantic first kiss. It was maybe a second or two but felt like an eternity and it meant a lot to them. When they pulled away, their foreheads were leaning against each other, their eyes still closed. The couple was breathing like one body, enjoying the moment and the song.

Love was in the air, that was for sure and even their friends saw it. Looking at the new couple from their table was all they needed. They belonged together. Two lost souls finally found each other. Natasha was smiling like a little girl and Wanda high-fived with Bucky and Sam.

The song was slowly getting to its end. Steve pulled her even closer to him. He needed to feel the warm body on hers, to make sure this wasn’t only a dream. Together, they ignored the whole world, not even caring if someone took a picture of them or not. This was their moment of love and it was just perfect. They didn’t need any words for describing all those feelings. This said everything with a kiss. When the song finished, Steve sighed and (Y/N) didn’t want to leave his embrace. It was warm and loving. He gave her the shelter she needed.

His fingers entwined with hers and together they went back to their table. The music has once again changed and the people started to wildly dance again. Steve helped the woman with her seat and then he pushed his chair closer to hers. When they were sitting at the table, they saw Wanda’s face. The brunette was looking at them with big puppy eyes. “You two are just adorable.”

(Y/N) blushed once again and licked her lips. Bucky approached them unexpectedly, tapping Captain’s shoulder. “Hey man, would you like to go to the bar with us?”

“No thanks, man. I believe Wanda would like a drink,” he gave the girl a look saying, please leave us alone.

“Oh, right, I would love a drink. I need a drink.  And I need more wine,” she mumbled and quickly stood up, leaving with Barnes. The table was almost empty, leaving the two of them alone.

His manly hand found her tiny one and their fingers once again entwined. The girl put her head on his shoulder and he put his head on top of hers. This was all they needed – feel the presence of the other. His thumb was making circles on the top of her hand. This couldn’t be more romantic. This was a pure perfection. “Can I stay with you tonight?” she asked after a while.

“You can stay any time as long as you want, forever if you like,” he replied, kissing her forehead. His two fingers appeared under her chin and lifted her head up. Now, she was looking into his gorgeous blue eyes, even when the light was dimmed and she couldn’t see his face perfectly. “Maybe it’s too early, but I have to say it… I love you.”

(Y/N)’s lips crooked into a shy smile. Her heart skipped a beat. “I love you too.” And it was true. She did love him. They shared another soft kiss filled with love.

The night was slowly ending and the people were leaving the Gala. The new couple enjoyed the time with the rest of the friends, laughing and drinking more wine. Girls congratulated (Y/N) on her new relationship that started on the dance floor and wished them well. When no one was watching and they were all occupied by different people, Steve took his new girlfriend by hand and inconspicuously took her away from the Gala. He wanted to spend some time with her alone, back in his room.
