Steve walked around Central Park with Aly, his arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders. They were pretty tangled together as they walked and if it wasn’t for Steve, they probably would’ve stumbled over each other’s feet more than a few times. She wasn’t as coordinated as he was so Steve was doing his best to keep them both on their feet. As it was, Aly stumbled a few times, laughing at herself whenever Steve caught her. They’d been wandering for awhile now, looking around and talking. Aly noticed that a few times Steve would start to say something and then stop himself before he could finish the thoughts. She wondered what it was that he was going to say but she didn’t ask him. She had made it very clear that she wouldn’t pry.
“So how do you like Central Park, Steve?” Aly asked as they stopped to sit on a bench near a playground.
It was quiet there but it was still early. There were a few children playing and the women sitting nearby to watch them were clearly nannies, not the children’s mothers. She didn’t understand how women could do that. When she had children of her own, she already swore to herself that she’d never hire a nanny to take care of the children. That wasn’t what a real mother did. Even with the fact that her parents worked extra hard to make sure that she was able to have a better life than they did, she knew that her mother and father both did everything that they could to take care of her. If it wasn’t for the two of them, she had no idea where she’d be today. Aly quickly looked away from the scene to look at Steve.
He played a little with her fingers, holding her hand as they sat on the bench together. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed each of her fingertips softly before saying anything. “I think that I’m happy to be anywhere as long as you’re with me,” he said with a smile. It was a corny line to be sure but Steve meant it and he knew that she’d know that.
Aly blushed softly and looked at the playground again. She let out a soft sigh as she watched the children play. “You know, my mother would bring me here sometimes. Not to this particular part of the park but to Central Park. When she had the time, I mean,” she softly said, her eyes still fixed on the playing children as she spoke. “One day I want to be able to bring my own children here to play too. One day.”
Steve cupped Aly’s chin and turned her head toward him to get her to look at him now. It was sweet when she got a little shy while talking with him but he wanted Aly to look him in the eyes when he said this to her. “And you will. One day, you will get to bring your children here to play,” he said, nodding. His tone was serious and sincere. “It will happen for you.” As he said it, he looked her right in the eyes and for a moment, Steve could see it. He could see Aly bringing a couple of small, blond-haired, blue-eyed children to the park to play and Steve wanted nothing more than to be a part of that picture. The realization hit him suddenly and he let go of her chin slowly when it did hit him.
Aly laced their fingers together again and leaned her head on Steve’s shoulder. She didn’t know what to say to that although she wondered what he was thinking right now. She just didn’t know how to ask because she hated the idea of pushing him to tell her more than he was ready to talk about. Aly took a breath and then looked up at Steve. “What’s going on in that head of yours, Steven Rogers?” she softly said. “I feel like you can tell everything by looking at me but I have no idea what’s going on in your head.”
Steve smiled softly and shook his head, embarrassed right now. He couldn’t tell her what he had been thinking about without probably making her nervous. “It’s nothing. It’s silly really,” he said, trying to shrug it off before Aly could ask him again. He nervously chuckled at himself for the thought even crossing his mind in the first place, feeling his face start to heat up slightly with his blush.
She lifted her head from his shoulder and looked up at him. This was one time when she felt like she wanted to pry a little. She wanted to know what he was thinking for a change and it seemed like this might be something harmless to push him to tell her. “Tell me. Please, Steve?” Aly said with a little pout, dimples poking out a bit and everything. Actually now that she knew her pout worked on him, she found herself using it more often. “I want to know.”
Steve sighed and let go of her hand, raking his fingers through his hair. He even nervously chewed on his bottom lip for a moment as he tried to figure out a way to say this without sounding ridiculous. Or like he was rushing her into something that maybe Aly wouldn’t be ready for in the first place. There was no way he could tell her no when she looked at him like that but he was embarrassed to admit what he was thinking in the first place. These weren’t things that he’d ever thought about before but Steve had to admit that he liked the thought of being with Aly, of having a family with her. He was afraid that Aly might be upset if he said the words out loud though and the last thing that the super soldier wanted to do was to upset this woman. She had come to mean so much to him in such a short amount of time after all.
As he spoke, Steve looked at the ground, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand. It didn’t stop the blush from creeping up on his face however. “When you were talking about having kids and bringing them to the park, it made me think of something. That’s all,” he said with a little shrug. He almost mumbled the words.
Aly reached for Steve’s hand, lacing their fingers together again. Then she brushed the fingers of her other hand against his cheek and along his jaw, watching as the soldier slowly turned his head toward her. Now she felt like she needed to know what Steve was thinking. “And what did it make you think of, Steve?” she softly said.
Steve took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that he’d forgotten for a moment to breathe as he looked at her. There was something about the look in her bright blue eyes right now that had him caught and he knew in that moment that he had fallen for Aly. She didn’t just ‘mean a lot to him’. He was head over heels, irrevocably in love with her. While before this he’d known that he had feelings for her, Steve now knew, with complete certainty, that he was in love with her. He hoped like hell that the feeling was mutual.
“I think that I want to be a part of that,” the man said with a little nod. His voice was soft but strong. Since Aly wanted to know what he was thinking, Steve was going to tell her. For better or for worse. “I think I might like the idea of being a part of your life like that.”
Aly blushed softly but she leaned in and softly kissed the corner of his mouth. She brushed her fingers against his cheek again with a soft smile. It felt like her heart was hammering in her chest as Steve admitted that to her. Her excitement seemed almost palpable. “You think so?” the petite blond asked, sounding a bit surprised but very happy. “To tell you the truth, I think I might like that myself. The idea of you being a part of my life that way seems pretty incredible.”
Steve knew that he was blushing, something that continued to happen often with Aly. In fact, he was starting to get used to it now. Hearing her say that she liked the idea of him being a big part of her life did make his heart race a little as well. It also made him feel a bit guilty although he knew that he shouldn’t. The feeling passed quickly as he looked at Aly though. Steve didn’t have anything to feel guilty about. It was time, he realized, that he start living his life instead of wishing for what might have been. It was time that he enjoyed the time that he had. It was time that he finally let someone in and Steve knew he wanted that someone to be Aly. He smiled and lightly cupped her cheek in his hand. His thumb absently brushed her cheek and when Aly took a deep breath and closed her eyes slowly, Steve smiled a little more.
“I had started to believe I was never going to find the … the right girl,” he said with a little shake of his head. “Then I meet you, Aly, and you turn my whole world upside down. You’re good at that, shaking things up for me.” Steve chuckled but it was true. Since he met Aly, things hadn’t been the same for him. The old soldier saw in her some kind of hope that things weren’t as bleak as he thought they could be. He knew what he wanted and Steve wasn’t going to let Aly go now that he had her.
“And have you? Found the right girl?” Aly asked, her voice almost a whisper. She looked nervous as she watched Steve, softly biting her bottom lip as she looked at him now. While she thought that she knew the answer to that question, she still felt like she had to ask Steve. She wanted to hear him say the words after all.
Steve smiled, nodding a bit. He leaned his forehead against hers and smiled a little more. All that he wanted right now was to make Aly his girl. He wanted to be with her for as long as she’d have him and he was hoping that was going to be forever. “I’d like to think that I have,” he softly said. “Question is … do you want to … be my … my girl?”
Aly giggled at the way that Steve asked her to be his girlfriend. It was a little awkward and old-fashioned but those were things that he seemed to pull off. He could be awkward around her but she found it sweet and his old-fashioned notions were actually refreshing to her. At this point, she would have expected him to have tried to get her into bed but the closest they’d come to that was last night when he’d slept in her bed with her. They kissed but it was always just this side of innocent. Aly sometimes wondered why that was. She wondered a bit why he didn’t seem to make a move on her like other guys had but she liked that he didn’t want to rush her by any means. She didn’t want to rush him either but knowing that he wanted to be with her made her heart race and her breath catch in her throat.
She swallowed hard as she looked at Steve now, nodding her head softly. “I would,” Aly said, her tone breathless. “I certainly would.”
