'Ugh' You hear Steve groaning and immediately squeeze his hand.

'I got you. It's okay, you're okay Steve, sit up slowly. Take it easy' You coo.

'You had quite a fall there pal' Bucky chips in.

Steve manages to sit up, he puts his free hand on his head and uses his other one to clasp your hand firmer 'Ah!' You shout out.

'W-what? Dammit!' Steve shouts as he lets go of your hand. He could see your fingers turning an even whiter shade from his grip, your fingers begin to swell from the pressure he had on them

'Sorry. I Uh...super strength' Steve stutters.

You look down at your hand, the flesh colour returning as the blood flows back to your hand.

'Shall we give you two a minute?' Howard calls out.

You look up at Bucky and he gives you a soft smile 'He's still your Steve Daisy. Just...'

'Taller' Steve tries to join into the conversation.

You force a smile and Bucky takes a breath before following Howard out of the room. Just leaving you and Steve.

The silence between you both is deafening.

'Daisy I...' Steve starts but you immediately cut him off.

'Why didn't you tell me?' You look up at him with tears in your eyes. You felt confused and betrayed. You didn't understand.

'I didn't know it was going to happen today...'

'Bullshit' You shake your head.

'Lang-'

'Steve' You interrupt him once more. 'I want the truth'

'Okay' Steve gulps. 'Okay...well we were training. I was doing my test. When Peggy...'

'Peggy?!'

'Shes one of the trainers'

'Oh of course she is!' You stand up annoyed. Steve stands up too. Now towering over you. Looking down at your petite self. Everything was completely new to him. He was out of his depth. He walks towards you and tries his best to be as gentle as possible as he puts his now enlarged hand on your chin. Lifting your head up to face him.

'I'm going to get a stiff neck, looking up at you like this now' You try and say lightly.

Steve gives a half hearted laugh before lifting you up off the ground with his one arm wrapped around you. As if you were a feather.

Your legs find your way wrapped around his waist and you cling onto him.

'Peggy's just a trainer Daisy. I hardly said a word to her'

'So what happened?'You ask sadly. Your head nuzzled into his neck.

Steve sits back down and you now sit on his lap. He takes your hands in his and brushes your knuckles over with his thumb. Trying to soothe you.

'She rolled a grenade into the yard and I...I jumped on it'

'You what?!'

'It was a fake!'

'Did you know it was a fake?!' You ask concernedly.

Steve avoids your gaze.

'Steve! Oh my God..'

you jump up off of his lap. 'What were you thinking?!'

'That everyone was going to die!'

'And what about you?!'

'I wasn't thinking about me'

'You never do!' You reply back harshly. Tears now streaming down your face.

Steve gets up off the chair but this time you step away from him.

'Daisy...'

'Don't Daisy me Steve! What if it wasn't a fake?? What if you died! You proposed to me 48 hours ago! We made love for the first time 48 hours ago! And what you were going to do just throw it all away?! You were just going to leave me!?' You break down. You fall to your knees. Your hands over your face.

Steve's throat goes dry watching you fall to pieces. 'Daisy, It was never my intention to...'

'I can't lose you Steve' You cry out. Sniffing and sobbing.

Steve sits on the floor and wraps his arms around you, taking you into his lap, rocking you back and forth.

'And what about Bucky?! You always say you're with him until the end of the line! The end of the line isn't now Steve! It can't be!'

'I know..I'm sorry..'

'What you did was incredibly courageous. But we're just starting our lives together...'

'I understand Daisy'

'No you don't! You obviously don't!

You try to wriggle from his grasp but Steve was too strong now.

'Let me go Steve!'

'Daisy'

'Stop it Steve. Just, just let me go..' You say more devastated than anything else.

The defeat in your tone made Steve's arms immediately drop.

You free yourself and get up off his lap and go to head out of the door.

'Daisy?' Steve says more carefully this time.

You turn around to face him. Wiping the tears from your face. 'Yeah?'

'I love you' Steve gulps.

'I love you too'

'Where are you going?'

'Home'

'I'll come with you...'

'Not your home Steve. Mine'

Steve's face falls at the same time you close the door behind you.
