《Distraction》I thought we had more time.

As you hear Steve's footsteps bombing down the stairs you chuckle as you flip the bacon.
'Did I get you all worked up Captain? Breakfast won't be long!' You laugh. The footsteps come closer towards you but that wasn't anything to be suspicious about. You carry on scrambling your eggs. Not bothering to look behind you but continuing to talk to Steve. 'You know, that's one thing I'm going to miss when you're on tour away. Cooking. Especially since Bucky's going with you! Although I'll save a fortune on the food shop!' You laugh to yourself before you scoop the eggs and bacon onto a plate.
You turn the gas stove top off and turn around. Gasping. You feel like all the breath has been taken from your lungs. Steve was down on one knee in-front of you, presenting you with a box. Inside, the most beautiful ring you'd ever seen. It was the shape of a Daisy. A diamond stone glistening in the middle.
Tears immediately prick your eyes and your hand reaches for the Daisy chain around your neck.
'Steve...' You whisper out as you begin to sniffle.
'Daisy. This isn't how I wanted to do it. But I can't wait any longer. I know I'm going away on tour for six weeks, I know it's going to be hard. But I meant it when I asked you to marry me a couple weeks back, I meant every word. You are mine and I am yours. I have and will continue to love and support you, just like you do for me everyday. You are the most selfless, beautiful, kind, caring, badass woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You're all I want for the rest of my life. I know I say to the end of the line with Bucky. But with you, I want until the end of my days. All I ask is that you still make me blueberry muffins on a Sunday morning. So, my Daisy. Will you Marry me?'

A tear runs down Steve's face as he delivers his beautiful speech.
'I've been making you blueberry muffins every sunday for over a decade. Why stop now?' You chuckle in between a sob. 'Of course I'll marry you Steve!'
Steve stands up and places the ring on your finger. It fitted perfectly, as if it were always meant to be. Which is was.
Steve scoops you up and twirls you around in the air. Your hands find there way into Steve's hair and as you look at him you find his lips. Crashing yours to his with copious amounts of love and passion.
'I love you Daisy' Steve pants out in between kisses.
'I love you Steve' You say back sincerely.
'And I love the smell of bacon in the morning!' Bucky calls out.
You and Steve both laugh and Steve lowers you down.
'I guess a congratulations is in order?' Bucky asks and you point out your hand, which was still trembling. Bucky squeals like a school girl before darting to your side. Picking you up and throwing you in the air. 'CONGRATULATIONS!'
As he catches you and puts you down he pulls Steve into a hug also. 'I'm so happy for you Pal!'
'Thank Buck' Steve says genuinely.
You hand Bucky his plate of food and his eyes widen. 'Jesus Daisy!'
'What? I don't have much time left to fatten you both up before the tour!'
The three of you burst into laughter before Bucky takes his place at the table. Tucking into his breakfast.
You hand Steve his plate and grab yours and you both follow him. The three of you sitting together.
'I have the TV in the truck. I also brought you the phone from my place, I thought Steve could ring. Keep in contact with you' Bucky says confidently with a mouthful of bacon.
'Thankyou Buck, that's really thoughtful' You say gratefully.
'It will definitely make me feel better knowing I can call' Steve agrees.

'What time do we leave Monday?' Steve asks Bucky.
'Monday? We leave first thing in the morning'
Yours and Steve's face both fall.
'W-what? No. No it's Monday. Monday the 5th'
'Steve, tomorrow's the 5th...' You whisper out defeatedly.
'Dammit!' Steve shouts.
Bucky looks at you both before sighing. 'Sorry'
'It's not your fault Buck' You give him a sad smile.
'I just thought we had more time together' Steve sighs.
Bucky gives you both a sympathetic look. 'I wish you could have but we got to get on the road. Stark's picking me up at 6am and we're coming straight here'
You nod and clear your throat. Steve starts playing with the food on his plate rather than eating it.
You wanted to support him but losing out on the extra day you thought you had was a serious kick in the teeth.
'Hey, Steve!' You turn to face him and he looks up at you. 'Good job you woke me up at 5am huh? Every minute counts'
Steve forces a smile but you look at Bucky worried. 'You'll look after eachother right? I mean. I know you're not actually going to eat but..'
'Daisy. Don't worry' Bucky reaches out for your hand. Giving it a small squeeze. 'I got him, I'll keep him in check'
'Yeah right' Steve now chips in. 'You and I both know that you're the troublemaker'
The tension eases a little and you feel yourself take a breath.
'Well, it's our final day together guys. What do you want to do?'
'I was actually going to give you guys space for the day...'
'Buck you don't have to...'
'No. No I want too. I'm going to head to my sisters anyway. Annoy her a couple times before I Say goodbye'
'Come back for dinner?'
'No guys really, I don't want to impose'
'Please Buck?' You plead a little.
Bucky looks at Steve and Steve nods. 'Dinner isn't the same without you. And it's the last meal Daisy will be cooking for you for six weeks'
'Then how could I say no?' Bucky smiles before standing up. Taking his plate over to the sink before coming round to you both. 'See you for dinner then?' Giving you both a warm smile.
'See you then' You say back as happy as you could before the door closes behind him.
You and Steve sit at the table in silence for a while. You tried your best not to dwell. This was suppose to be a happy day. You looked down at the ring on your finger but you couldn't help but feel the tears fall off your face.
'Steve...' You mumble.
Steve quickly whips his head around to you, hearing the crack in your voice.
You meet his gaze and you could see he had the same expression. Reality had set in.
'Yeah?' He says carefully.
'You'll come back to me, right? I mean. You won't find some other...'
'Daisy. I literally just proposed! Did you not hear my speech?!' Steve takes your hand and squeezes it before wiping your tears softly.
'I know. I know. It was a beautiful speech. And I know you meant it. I'm just..forget it. I'm being ridiculous' You sigh in frustration.
'No your not' Steve gulps. 'It's going to be hard. But I'll ALWAYS come home to you. Until the end of our days. Remember?'
You smile and lean in. Kissing him tenderly. 'End of our days. Captain'
Steve stands up. Lifting you off the seat and carrying you over his shoulder.
'Steve!' You shout out as he leads you up the stairs. 'I'm getting deja vu here!'
'Yeah? Only this time. I'm finishing the job!' Steve teases. Slapping you on the ass as he takes you into the bedroom.
