You stared at the leaves falling from the trees. It was quite breathtaking, at the most. Utterly beautiful. First a green leaf, then shortly afterwards a yellow leaf stained with bits of orange and green. They hit the ground lightly, making no sound effects. You could stay there all day, observing the utmost gorgeous pattern of the leaves dying off of the trees.
"Steve!" you turned around. Steve was sitting on the bench under huge, old willow, he was drawing in his sketchbook. "Yes, Y/N? What's up?" he asked lazily, not taking his eyes from the sketch he was making. You rolled your eyes and walked to him slowly, still looking around with admiration. "Instead of drawing, you should take a look around, dear!" you giggled happily, taking a seat next to him and putting your head onto his shoulder. "Just look! Down they come like multicoloured rain. Golds, reds and browns. They are a myriad of shapes and sizes, these leaves that clothed the trees. Now they are discarded like last seasons fashions and left to become part of the soil. But before that happens they make the most splendid mosaic that is unique in all the world. And yet we're here to witness it in this moment, it's so precious!" you were talking about leaves and colors like it would be the last thing you'll ever see. Steve had made some more lines, before he closed his sketchbook. He gave you a look and ruffled your bangs. "Y/N, you're too exaggerated sometimes." You frowned softly, pulling away from him. "Why are you saying so?" Blonde man pecked your lips. "You put too much attention in such a fleeting stuff. You should focus on more important things, Y/N." You rolled your eyes theatrically. "Says the man, who could spend whole day by drawing" you cocked your brew. "Steve, please. Stop being so stubborn and serious! Just live with a moment!" you quickly got up from the bench and you grabbed him by his sleeve. "C'mon! Let's take a walk! You were drawing for last half an hour! " Reluctantly, Steve followed you, getting up and closing his sketchbook. Man slipped it under his arm. You grabbed his hand and pulled him down the alley. Holding his palm, you were walking slowly by his side, looking around and breathing with fresh, chill air. "I've read the poems from before the war. They tell of trees changing color, pumpkins and thanksgiving. It must have been nice back then. It sounds like a cosy life" you broke the silence between you two. Steve's face changed within second. He became so pensive, kind of a little smirk appeared in the corner of his full lips. "Yes. It was a cosy life.." he mumbled, but his voice was nothing more then a whisper. You gave his hand a firm squeeze. "So now you should understand, what I find so interesting in observing the nature. It's so relaxing to me, letting all bad emotions disappear" you explained shortly. Steve only nodded, still overwhelmed by his memories. You both continued your walk through the park. Red, orange and yellow, in various different shades. All of them floating gracefully on the soft breeze. It was as if a friendly hand was gently lowering them to the ground. Whispers between these leaves filled the air, whispers and mutters. The air was cool and crisp, like a refreshing drink of cool water after hours in a desert. The breeze fluttered around, gently caressing everything it touched with fingers that had been a comfort to so many over their long, lonely years. You were absorbing everything. The nature was simply breathtaking in her color palette. With a corner of your eye you've noticed, that Steve also was delighted by variegation of the world. Finally, you and Steve reached a small lake and it was where the alley has ended. A deep sense of serenity overcame both of you as you stared in rapture at the expanse of blue that lay before you. Rays of lights danced delicately across the water, birthed from the afternoon sun that both limited your sight and made the view all the more beautiful. Steve smiled gently, looking at you. "Would you mind me, if I would ask you for something now?" he inquired. You eyed him carefully, not being sure, what has he wanted from you. "Yes, I suppose..." you answered. "Can I ask you to pose for me, Y/N?" the smile was still on his lips and his cheeks blushed a bit. You felt a heat on your cheeks within a second, so you turned your head to watch the lake. "I wouldn't mind..." you whispered softly, trying to calm yourself down.
You were sitting at the large rock on the shore of the lake patiently, waiting for Steve to end his masterpiece.
"Can you turn your head a bit? Oh yes. Just like that." Steve was sitting on the ground, leaning his back against a tree trunk. He was putting all the effort into his drawing. "Have I ever told you, how much I adore your facial features, Y/N?" Steve's voice was soft like never before. "Hihi, no, you haven't" you giggled happily, covering your mouth with a palm. "Hey! Don't move, Y/N! The lightning!" Steve chuckled tenderly, then once again he focused on the draw. "Yes, yes, sorry, my bad" you sent him a warm smile. You were observing with a smile, how few little leaves fell down onto Steve's head. You couldn't help and let out a short laughter. "You look like a prince in the crown." Steve raised his chin a bit and narrowed his brows, then he reached to his hair and his face has brighten up. "Haha, very funny, Y/N!"
After some time, Steve rose from the ground and flicked his jeans from sand.
"Done. Wanna see?" he reached his sketchbook towards you. Gladly, you got up from your place and approached blonde man. You took the sketchbook into your hands and looked at the drawing he recently has made. "Oh Gosh.." you mumbled. "It's.. It's beautiful, Steve! But..." You took a careful look at the drawing again and your heart stopped for a second. You were on the foreground, the lake was a background. He has drew you so smoothly, emphasizing every attribute of your beauty. In the left lower corner of the page you found a little dedication, which took your breath away. For my beloved Y/N. You've always been in my mind. With love, Steven You've swallowed slowly, before you look into his eyes. "Why you didn't tell me earlier?" you asked quietly. But Steve only took his sketchbook from your hands amd closed it, then he leant down to you and he placed a lovingly kiss to your soft lips. You were too shocked to protest and the truth was you either didn't want to protest... You gave the kiss back, automatically pulling closer to his chest. "How long?" "Since the day I've met you, Y/N" Steve said sincerely, looking you straight in the eyes. "As you can see, it took me so long to find a courage." You nuzzled to his chest, feeling incredibly safe there. "The most important, that you've finally found it so you could be honest with me" you reached his jawline and stroked over his cheek. "So.. In the light of new circumstances.. Would you go with me for a date?" his cheeks were blushing hardly. You nodded slightly. "With a pleasure." You saw a little sparks of happiness into his beautiful blue eyes. Your hand found his palm and you tangled your fingers with his. "Let's go back home, Mr Rogers the Artist" you chuckled. He smirked on you, nodding, then Steve raised his chin to look at the autumnal sunset, which was building on the horizon. Man squeezed your palm tightly, and after that he let your hand free to wrap both his strong arms around you. You hugged to him as closely as you could. You felt, how he has rested his chin on the top of your head. He took a deep breath. "I want this moment to last forever." You moved closer so that he felt your presence, yet stayed quiet, allowing him to stay lost in the moment a while longer.

A/N: This story was written for @somethingtoavenge writing challenge. Congratulations on 1K!
It's been half a year since you were working in the café as a barista. You enjoyed your work and workplace. You even made friends with other girl, Hannah, which was working at the same shift as you.
She was always nice and kind towards you and heard you out many times when you were having problems of any kind.
It was another night shift, this time on Saturday, and you were cleaning your workplace, setting cups into cabinets, washing a coffee machine.
You had to take additional hours, bills were overwhelming you and truth was you needed some extra money.
The bell hanging next to door rang informing you that a new customer stepped in.
"How can I help you?," you asked sweetly polishing one of the cups, not even looking at the newcomer.
"Black coffee, please," strong, manly voice answered and it was when you raised eyes on the customer.
How huge was your disbelief when you saw Steve Rogers himself leaning elbows against the counter top.
His blue eyes were watching you carefully, his brow was cocked a little and head tilted aside.
"Uhm..," you couldn't form any sentence and suddenly you felt a strong poke aimed right into your left side.
It's no one else but Hannah, who came to help you.
"For here or to go?," she asked with a little smile, awaiting for his answer.
You shifted aside to make her a room around the coffee machine.
"To go," he answered simply but sent her a little smile. He looked over you and smiled again.
You felt a blush hitting your cheeks so you smiled back messily and turned around to put cups into the cabinet.
Hannah prepared his order quickly and handled the covered cup to him.
Rogers paid and walked out of the shop.
"Fuck," you whispered, massaging your temple. "I froze. I didn't know what to do, I never knew someone like him would visit us," you explained yourself briefly.
Hannah came to you and stroked your shoulder. "Don't worry. He comes here every weekend to grab a coffee, sometimes with muffin," said she. "You never met him here before probably because you were working only during the week."
You nodded. "I feel so stupid!"
She laughed at your words. "Don't worry. He's Captain America after all. The greatest hero. It's okay to be surprised."
Hannah was right.
You met Rogers again one week later, also during Saturday's evening shift.
This time you were aware of his presence since the moment the bell rang.
Steve came to the counter and took a seat at hooker staying in front of it.
"Hi," you whispered hesitantly. "Black coffee? To go?," you asked quietly.
Steve nodded, smiling a little. "Yes, please. I see that you remember."
You smiled back and in the silence prepared his order.
"I haven't seen you here before," Steve said out of sudden. "How long do you work here?"
"Uhm, six months now," you stated. "I study as well and you know, every coin is important," you added quickly.
Steve smiled at you. "I understand perfectly."
"I'm sorry for the last awkwardness," you rubbed the back of your head. "I was just surprised..."
"Don't need to be worried about it," Steve said as he got up from the high chair. "It's a human thing to be caught off guard sometimes."
When he left you sat on your chair and slipped hands under chin, sighing loudly.
Hannah came to you and handled you a mug of coffee. "You could live a hundred lifetimes and never deserve that boy," she said. "I know the way you look at him, Y/N. Forget it. He'll never look at someone like you nor me."
For the next few weeks you were always meeting Steve on weekend shifts and your conversations evolved in that time.
You were always happy to see him entering café with that disarming smile of his.
And then Thanos happened...
Half of living creatures were wiped off the world. It was very sad and bad days, yet you and Hannah survived the snap. To not lose senses from sadness and grief, you both decided to continue leading the café.
There were only a few clients per day, but it cheered you and Hannah up. Even the shortest talk with other human being was priceless.
That evening he came in as every previous weekend.
But this time he ordered two coffees to go.
"Oh, so you meet with someone? A friend or someone else?," you teased him a little, preparing cups and covers.
"Actually yes, I am."
"May I ask with who?," you asked sweetly.
"Someone who has turned out to be a good friend of mine. Who heard me out many times. Who have given me a shoulder I could lean on."
You nodded head and put two covered cups on the counter. "Here, your order is ready. Be careful. Hot," you smiled.
Steve grabbed cups and turned around to walk off the shop but stopped at the door. "What are you waiting for?," Steve asked, looking at you above his shoulder.
You blinked. "M... Me? You meant ME?"
"Yes," Steve replied. He offered you his shoulder. "Shall we?"
"I...," you blushed and coughed. "I have shift.. I.."
"Don't worry, Y/N."
You looked around to see Hannah leaning casually against the door to the back of the café.
"May I...?," you asked hesitantly.
"Of course," she nodded happily. "Go. Just be careful!"
Steve giggled loudly. "Don't you worry, I'll lead her back home."
You walked at Hudson river. You took a seat at one of the benches at the promenade and watched the rising moon on the sky. Few stars were peering through the clouds.
That early night was brisk, easterly wind blow gently ruffling your hair.
"Thank you, that's so kind of you," you said, taking a sip from your cup. Coffee tasted delicious.
"Thanks goes to you, Y/N," Steve said after taking a deep breath. "You know, everything's changed and I still didn't get over it."
"I understand, neither did I," you replied softly and quietly. "It was so sudden... And it has left a huge pain in everyone."
"Yeah," Steve nodded. "I try to do whatever it takes to... I don't even know. I'd gladly turn back time."
"Hey," you turned to him and put a hand to his shoulder. "It wasn't your fault. We talked about it. No one could have stopped him."
"I could have tried harder," Steve grunted and sipped onto his coffee. He slipped a hand into his bangs, pulling it up. "I wish I could do something. It's not right. There has to be something I can do."
He wrapped an arm around you and pulled you closer so you were leaning head against his wife chest and he rested his chin over top of your head.
"Don't worry. I believe you'll figure out what to do. You ain't alone in this. I'll support you, whatever you'll decide. I know I'm just an ordinary person but I can help, I'm hard working."
Steve giggled and slipped two of his long fingers beneath your chin, forcing you to raise your head and look into his eyes.
"I know. Thank you for being so good to me. If not you, I don't know what I would do," he stated.
He looked into your eyes. His blue eyes sparkled from moon's light that went finally through clouds. Steve leant down to you and his lips were pressed to yours in a soft kiss.
You blinked but gave kiss back, you closed your eyes and touched his bearded cheek.
"Uhm...," you whispered in shock. "Oh... I... Wow...," you blushed hardly and immediately slipped head under his shoulder to hide it from his eyes.
Steve smiled and stroked your back. "So as I see, not only I was hesitating before doing it," he joked briefly.
You nodded your head and turned to him. "Yes," it was nothing but a soft whisper. "It was so nice," you couldn't find proper words to describe how were you feeling.
"Maybe I can ask you for a dinner tomorrow, Y/N? What do you think?," Steve asked openly.
You nodded eagerly. "It will be a pleasure to me! I just hope that Hannah will give me a few hours off."
Steve got up from the bench and waited politely for you to join him. As you did, he wrapped an arm around your waist.
"So. I'll lead you back home now, as I promised to your friend," Steve said. "It's a nice meeting. Thank you for this."
You smiled and nuzzled to his chest. "I'll do whatever it takes to make you smile, Steve. Always."
