Song | A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman

--

"They can say it all sounds crazy.
They can say we've lost our minds.
I don't care if they call us crazy.
Run away to a world that we design.

Every night I lie in bed,
The brightest colors fill my head.
A million dreams are keeping me awake.
I think of what the world could be,
A vision of the one I see.
A million dreams is all it's gonna take.
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make."

You feel the butterflies turn into caged birds in your stomach. Today is a very, very big day for you and Steve. You've packed your things from the Avengers base, everything you own fitting into two suitcases. Steve is the same way. Being a hero means that you kinda have to live out of a suitcase.

That's about to change.

You both stand with suitcases in hand, staring at the front door of your first home. The first place you're living together, alone, as a couple. Neither of you has the courage to turn the doorknob first.

"All right, that's it!" Steve drops his suitcase and swoops you up into his arms. You squeal in delight, letting your luggage fall beside his as you wrap your arms around his neck.

"Steve!" you giggle as he opens the door with his boot. "You're crazy."

"I don't care," he grins, kissing you as he carries you over the threshold of the apartment bridal-style.

You both take the entire day to unpack the furniture you bought over the past month. Each thing you compiled had meaning, had purpose, made you both smile on rainy days.

On the first night in the apartment, still surrounded by boxes, you both collapse onto the only thing in the bedroom that you unpacked: the king-sized mattress and comforter. You lay wrapped in each others arms, speaking softly in the dark.

"This is a dream come true," you tell him, half-asleep. "Every night I lied in bed, in the base, I dreamed of this day. I must've had a million of them."

"A million dreams?" Steve repeats, chuckling softly into your hair. "I dreamed about today, too, but I didn't care as much about the house as I did about you. You were all my million dreams."

You open your eyes and look up at him, cupping his face in your hands. "I love you."

"I love you, too," he repeats, sealing the promise with a kiss. "Here's to a million more."
