By the time Bucky come back to Steve's, both Daisy and Steve were both fast asleep on the sofa.
Bucky nudges Steve slightly and he jumps awake.
"Shhh" Bucky says in a hushed whisper. Pointing at Daisy who still had her arm wrapped around Steve.
Steve manages to sit up and carefully manoeuvre himself off the sofa without disturbing you. He tucks a blanket over you to keep you warm before making his way over to the dining table with Bucky.
"Did you manage to talk to her?" Bucky asks hopeful.
Steve shakes his head "She's exhausted and emotional. I think they way things ended with her father really hit her hard, especially considering they wasn't on the best of terms when..."
"Yeah. No I understand. We have to help her"
Steve nods agreeing "Thanks Buck"
"For what?"
"Stepping up when I couldn't. I was so blinded by this idea of the serum, that I let Peggy get to me, I pushed Daisy away when I should have been holding her closer. If anything like this ever happens again, I need you to put me back in my place. Again"
Bucky laughs, patting Steve on the back "Of course Pal, til the end of the line remember?"
"The end of the line" Steve repeats. Giving Bucky a small smile.
"I'm gonna head home, if you want I can wake.."
"No!" Steve should almost desperately. Jumping a little in his seat. He realises he shouted a little too loud and he dials it back.
"Actually I Uh..."
"Spit it out Steve" Bucky says firmly.
"I was wondering maybe if she could stay here...with me?"
"That's her choice Steve. I can't make that decision for her, but it sounds like a good idea to me, plus she's going to have to go sort through her house...it might be easier if she's here"

Steve gulps a little. He hadn't even thought about that. That was going to destroy Daisy. Steve immediately felt nothing but sympathy for you.
"Hey, don't fade away this time, she needs you. I need you" Bucky says sternly. Bringing Steve's attention back to him.
"I'm here. I'm here" Steve repeats while nodding. His mind working overtime.
"Night Pal" Bucky says before getting up to leave.
"Night Buck" Steve replies back as he heads out the door.
As the door closes Daisy starts to stir, she opens her eyes to see Steve walking back towards her.
"Bucky just left"
"Oh. Oh do you want me to go with him?" You quickly rush to sit up and head out the door. Steve holds your wrist and pulls you back to him. He pulls you slightly harder than you thought and you end up bashing into him slightly. Your chest knocking his. You were like two fumbling idiots. It was adorable.
"Sorry I didn't mean..."
"It's fine Steve" You giggle nervously. Looking down.
Steve tucks a piece of hair that had fallen infront of your face behind your ear and you look up to meet his gaze. As his eyes pierced through you you couldn't help but hold your breath.
"So beautiful" Steve whispers out. Before realising he didn't say that in his head. He said it out loud. The two of you blush instantly.
"Sorry..."
"Steve, why are you apologising for complimenting me?"
"You make me nervous" Steve shrugs.
"We've been best friends for years. Literally decades"
"But it's different now" Steve confesses. You feel a knot in your stomach.
"Oh"
"No that's not what I meant!"
"So..what did you mean?" You ask slowly.
"I Uh..I can't, I don't..."
You notice Steve becoming flustered and you smile, you take your hand and cup his face. Using your thumb to stroke his cheek. Steve looks at you and swallows nervously.

"You know, you make me nervous too. It's awkward. I mean, not awkward in a bad way, awkward as in I don't know how to act around you since our kiss..."
"Right. The kiss..."
"I'm really sorry again. If I had known what peggy had done theres no way I would have just..."
"Never apologise for kissing me Daisy" Steve blurts out.
You look down and shuffle your feet. Your hand still on Steve's face. He takes it from his face and brings it to rest on his chest. You look up and he smiles that Steve Rogers smile at you.
"Does that mean I can do it again?" You ask as you feel the butterflies in your stomach start to flutter.
Steve continues to give you that god damn smile before placing his hands on your lower back, bringing you towards him.
"Please" He says proudly.
You swipe your arm from his chest over his shoulder and to the back of his neck. Your other hand following. This gives you the opportunity to lean in even more towards him before pressing your lips slowly but surely to his, the kiss was tender but loving. Filled with nothing but purity. You open your mouth slightly and Steve deepens the kiss. Making the kiss slightly more intense and passionate. Your pace becoming faster before your hands find they way into Steve's hair and he finds his way to your waist.
You pull apart after a few minutes and you both gasp slightly. Your cheeks flushed and your lips warm.
"I want you to stay with me" Steve breathes out, finding his courage.
"W-what?"
"I want you to stay with me. Instead of Bucky"
This takes you by surprise. The way steve spoke, totally controlled but somewhat demanding made your feel some type of way. You couldn't explain it but you were excited by the tone of his voice.
"Yea Captain" You smirk. Making steve usher up the bravery to pull you close towards him once again.
"I like when you call me that" He says flirtatiously as his lips brush against yours.
"I'll be sure to keep calling you it then" You say back as you press your lips to his once more.

Wulfgard: The Hunt Never Ends
In the civilized world of humans, 'monsters' have all but passed into legend. But when something goes bump in the night, when people begin to disappear, when a dark mystery begins to haunt even the most peaceful villages, there is only one organization to turn to: the Hunters. The Venatori. Having lived a life of discipline and service, former soldier Caiden Voros finds something even worse than the wars of humans: the monsters that hunt them. Horrors yet unknown even to him and his many scars await in the claws, talons, fangs, and mysterious powers of creatures so far beyond humans that he must dedicate himself entirely to the art of slaying them. Harboring a secret of his own and in a constant struggle to find answers while maintaining his sanity, however, Caiden begins to ask the age-old question... Who is truly worse, the monsters or the Men? Wulfgard: The Hunt Never Ends is an episodic collection of stories, each of which stand on its own, but they also build upon each other in a consecutive order, bridging a gap between a novel and short story collection. These stories follow monster hunter Caiden Voros and his partner Gwen Vergil as they embark on tales of mystery, horror, and adventure to track down monsters - the living dead, beast-men, shape-shifters, spirits, and many more - that would do harm to innocent lives and, by whatever means necessary, put a stop to their terrors. Their motives, however, are not always what they seem.

Children of Danu, People of Skill Book 1. (LitRPG/Gamelit)
Hi all, this is my first attempt at fiction ever. I'm sure it's awful, first attempts at new things usually are. Hopefully you can find something you like in it. I had a great deal of fun writing it. It's a basic Litrpg/Game, God sends you to a new world to do their bidding plot. I Know I did too much telling and not enough showing. I'm working on that. The underlying system is one haven't seen or done much. a full Point Buy system, like Gurps, Champions or the Hero system. After writing it a while, I see why folks don't do it. The record keeping is tedious. And once you start doing math in subsequent chapters, you can't go back and add more action, just because you dread redoing all the math. I've got about 80k words written in two "books" on the novel so far. I'm going to edit chapters and try to drop a couple a week till it's finished. Hopefully that will work for folks. I need to punch up the amount of action. I'll be working on that as well. Thanks, Cal-P.S> The cover art is one of the two CIrce Paintings By Waterhouse.
