Author’s Note: Requested by anon. I saw your requests were open and was wondering if you could write something fluffy with Steve. I’m having the worst week leading up to my birthday and I just really need something to cheer me up 😭 thank you!!

Normally, you would be looking forward to your birthday. Not that you necessarily enjoyed getting older, but because it meant you got to spend time with your closest friends. Sure, you saw them almost every day, but that was for work, and the Avengers worked hard.
However, in the weeks leading up to your special day, you had gotten a pretty severe concussion and had been put on the bench by Fury. So, when most of the team got put on a simple mission, the rest of your excitement was snuffed out like the flame of a candle. Which was why you were lounging on the couch, some stupid rom-com playing on Netflix, and a mostly-empty bottle of your favorite wine on the table. You weren’t drunk, far from it. Thanks to the serum running through your veins, you couldn’t get drunk, it made dying extremely difficult, but not impossible. You simply drank because you enjoyed the taste of it.
“Yeah, like that would actually happen,” you scoffed when the lead male decided to give up everything he had for love. The young couple in love ran towards one another, tears streaming from their faces, arms stretched out… you know, cheesy and cliche, just the way people liked it.
With a groan, you backed out of the movie. Taking a healthy pull of wine, you scrolled through the suggested movies and series. Nothing looked good, not even the ones you loved.
“Happy fucking birthday,” you sniffled. God, were you really crying right now? You had just tossed the remote to the cushion and slumped back when someone came into the room.
“Y/N?”
Great, it was Steve, the man you had a gigantic crush on. Just the person you wanted to see.
“Y/N’s not here right now,” you mumbled, your hand over your face.
“It’s late,” he stated the obvious. “I thought you’d be sleeping.”
“Sorry to disappoint you,” you grumbled in annoyance. Not at Steve, but at yourself.
Steve grabbed some water, one for you, one for him, and crossed the room. “What was that?”
You know damn well he heard you; super sonic hearing and all that. “I said, how are you?”
“Bullshit,” he chuckled, handing you the bottle.
“Such language, Cap,” you teased solemnly.
Steve nudged your leg with his. “Are you… are you crying?”
“It’s my fucking party, and I’ll cry if I want to, Steven.” Whoa, full first name alert. You were more bitter than you previously thought.
“Are you alright?” His voice was softer this time, inquisitive and gentle.
“Sure,” you lied with a snort. “I’m just sitting here, not getting drunk on my birthday, watching stupid ass movies that give women unrealistic expectations about love.”
“Shit,” he lamented. “I… I forgot. I’m sorry.”
You pushed up from your spot and rolled your eyes. “Wouldn’t expect you to remember, Cap. It’s not like you like me or anything. I mean, we’re friends so, you obviously like me in some manner, but not the way that I like you,” you babbled. And once you started, you couldn’t stop.
“Do you have any idea how goddamn difficult it is to work side-by-side with someone, day in and day out, and to want them so badly that it physically hurts not to do anything about it? Well, I do. God, Steve, you’re just… you’re so…”
Steve’s lips were twitching in an attempt to keep from pulling into a smile. “Why haven’t you kissed me yet?”
“Wait… what?” you muttered, your mind screeching to a halt.
He was towering over you, a finger tracing down the side of your face, tucking some hair behind your ear. “If you want me so badly, why haven’t you kissed me yet?”
You started at him, your eyes narrowed, your mind trying to wrap itself around what the hell was happening at that moment in time. Was he playing some sort of prank on you, on your birthday, no less? If he was, you were going to make him regret it. Well… regret might be the wrong word you were searching for.
Surging up, you grabbed the back of Steve’s neck and kissed him, a gasp of surprise leaving him, parting his lips for your probing tongue. His gasp melted into a moan that caught in the back of his throat. Steve wrapped his arms around you, the bottle of water dropping to the couch next to yours. You were on your toes, your nails scraping over Steve’s scalp and the wide expanse of his shoulders, your body curved, molding perfectly to his. Steve was making these noises in the back of his throat that drove shivers down your spine, that made your hips roll, his large hand on the small of your back only encouraged the movement.
Ripping your mouth away, you gasped at the pheromone-laced air, watching the way Steve’s kiss-swollen lips chased yours.
“Doll,” he whined, his eyes fluttering open. God, you had loved it when he called you that when his voice wasn’t thick with desire. But now, it only made you want to wrap your legs around his waist.
“Steve,” you hummed, your lips a whisper from his.
“Do you want to open your present?” he asked, an almost shy tone to his voice.
You wriggled against him in excitement. “Hell yeah, I do.”
“Good,” he growled, his eyes flashing dark. Without another word, he bent down and hauled you off the floor, throwing you over his shoulder with ease.
