IMAGINE BEING PROPOSED BY STEVE WITH THE HELP OF THE AVENGERS.

"Y/N?" Natasha asked you as her touch lingered on your shoulder for a moment. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

You furrowed your eyebrows at her in confusion. "Is something wrong?" you asked, but Natasha just shook her head and smiled slightly.

"No, I just wanted you to go talk to Sam and Bucky over there. They need a woman help them with something."

This got you even more confused, and you tilted your head. "With what?" But Natasha just smiled as an answer and walked away. So out of curiosity, you walked over Sam and Bucky, who looked like they weren't doing anything important.

"Guys, did you need my help?" you asked and they turned to you and grinned at each other.

"Just a question... do you have any recommendations for a dress?" Sam asked and you let out a burst of laughter.

"That sounds like you are buying dresses for yourselves", you giggled at the thought of Sam and Bucky waltzing around with fancy tutus. They flushed bright red and Bucky bit his lip to hold back an embarrassed smile.

"We were asking for a friend..."

You grinned. "Yeah, I figured. I just had to point that out. But umm... depends on an occasion. Is it a fancy dress, a party dress or just a dress?"

"Fancy", Sam told you and you nodded and showed some pictures from Google to show how a fancy dress of your liking would look like, until Tony walked up.

"Hey, Steve needs his "cuddly bear" to come to Central Park."

You huffed at the nickname. "Hey, Steve called me that one time when he had just woken up and you accidentally heard it because you heard it through F.R.I.D.A.Y. You don't need to call me that for the rest of my life."

"But I want to." Tony shrugged with a serious face and took a chip into his mouth and watched you sigh, grab your bag and go out.

"This is where we first met", Steve sighed and memory of Steve crashing on you while he was on a morning run with Sam and Bucky came to your mind, and how that surprisingly had turned to a coffee date.

"Yes, I remember." you smiled and Steve laid his blue eyes on you for a moment, before he turned them back to the sea.

"Back then, you liked to read. I remember how you had barely time to do anything else - you just loved to read and our car almost broke down because your books were so heavy. And now look at you, you're a real writer. I'm so proud of you. And I can't believe I found someone like you, let alone literally crashing into you." he let out a chuckle. "We could make it to last forever."

Your smile faltered slightly, slowly realizing what he meant but you didn't want to disappoint yourself. "What do you mean?"

He turned to you and met your eyes, this time properly and he took your hands to his own. "Will you marry me?"

He didn't have a ring and it wasn't like in any romance movie - but it was still a better proposal than you could have wished. It came by surprise, but oh how long you had dreamed of it. You had dreamed to be Mrs. Rogers for so long, ever since your first coffee date something had sparked in your heart, and you knew that Steve was the one for you.

You didn't need to answer, you just threw yourself on Steve's arms and that was an answer for Steve - the answer he had wished for months as he had been gathering the courage for proposing you.

Behind the scenes: After you had gone out, Natasha came up to Bucky and Sam and asked how it went.

"So you asked her about her favorite dress? What if she had figured Steve's intentions out from that?"

"Yeah, because Steve has to know what's Y/N's liking if they got married." Sam explained and Natasha huffed.

"Amateurs."
