This chapter is just for Steve, kind of a special ^-^

Steve's POV

-Focus. You can do this.-You told yourself in the mirror.- You're Caotain America, you can do this.- Took a deep breath- Y/N do you...want...to...go on a date with me?-You closdd your eyes nervous, then sighed- That was terrible.

You fixed your clothes once again and imagined the scenario, just act cool, just that.

-Hey Y/N-You made a silly flirty face on the mirror- I was wondering, do you have plans tonight? Because I thought that you-You pointed to the mirror and then at yourself- And me should go out tonight. -You imitated her voice - "just you and me?" -You tried to act more strong- Yes. What do you think about it?

You winked and felt like the most idiot person on earth.

-No.-you imitated her voice answerjng yourself.

You throwed yourseld in the bed and stared at the roof.

-It's impressive how I have courage to jump out of buildings but can't even ask a girl out.

Maybe you should seek for help? But how? Sam would want to know who she is, Tony couldn't know, he would kill you, let's not even talk about Bucky.

🔹️

-You want my help to ask a girl out?-Natasha asked not believing of what you just said.

-Yes.-You requested.

-Why can't you do that yourself?

-Because I don't know how...And you're a woman, you must know what is the right way to ask her out.

-Rule number one-She made a one with her finger- Women are compeltely different from each other. So there's no such thing as "the right way or how women like to be asked".

-Should I write that down or...

-We have a long way to go.-She rolled her eyes.- Okay, what is her name?

-Uh...

-Fine, let's call her Spaghetti.

You almost choked from surprise.

-Wh-Why Spaghetti?- Did she know about Y/N???

-Random name that came to my mind. Any problem with it?

-Oh, no, no.-You acted normally.

-Right...So first of all, how is your relationship?

-Um..We are friends. Very good friends actually.

-And?

-We kissed. Once. Recently.

-That's pretty good. It must not be hard. Let's try this, I'm Spaghetti and you're asking me out, go.

-What?

-Just act dumbass.

-Oh right.-You cleared your throat- Hi.

-Hi Steve.

-Uh....

-You want to say something?

-Yes...I....Uh...

-You are such an idiot.-She broke the character.

-I'm trying okay?

-Not enough. Stop being so afraid! She won't kill you...-She looked away and lifted her eyebrows- I guess- Then turned back to you- Try again.

-Hi.

-Hi Steve.

-...How...Are you?

-I'm good and you?

-Doin' fine...

-So...?

-Oh yeah-You tried to ask- Are you...busy tonight?

-Now we work with two options- She explained-  First, if she answers as "Yes" what's your response?

-Uh...Okay, bye.

-No!-Sh wanted to slap you on the face- You try setting another date at other gime, like tomorrow or a saturday, any day that she'll be free.

-Got it.

-Now let's pretend you managed to set a date or she just said "no". What do you do?

-I...-You thought for a moment- I've been thinking that...

-You were thinking...?

-That maybe... we could...

-Could what?

-Uh...Don't you have work right now?

She finally pushed you and you fell on the floor.

-What the hell Steve.-She complained.- I've never seen you so afraid. I don't know if it's funny or sad to watch.

-Ugh...I know...-You got up from.the floor.- Can you help me?

-I'm trying.

-All you did was insult me.

-It's a way for you to learn.-She gave a smile joking.- Alright, do you know where do you want go on this date?

-Yup.

-Good, so all you need is to take her out. The worst that she can say it's "no".

-And we can get awkward around each other, loose our friendships and gurn into total strangers.

-You're spending too much time for Y/N.

-What?

-Nothing!-She changed the subject- Stop thinking about those things. Sometimes you need to go with your gut. Just like fighting or acting for what you think it's right.

-I kind of understand that.

-Great, try again. Hi steve.

-Hi.

-How are you doing?

-Good. And you?

-Fine too.

-Are you busy tonight?

-No. Why?

-I was thinking that maybe, if you want to, we could-You took a deep breath and closdd your eyes- Go out with me?

-Just the two of us?

-Yes...?

-Like a date...?

-Like...Two people...going out...alone...?

- A date?-Natasha asked again annoyed.

-Yes. A date.

-No.

-What???

-She's not going to accept this shit. You look like someone is attacking you.

-And I am.

-Again.

🔹️

-Again

🔹️

-Again

🔹️

-Again

🔹️

-Enough.-She finally stopped.

-So?

-I don't know what to do with you. Seriously, let's just move on. If she says yes, how do you react?

-I...Thank her?

-You what?

-Thank you. Like this.

-You're not a waiter asking for an order Steve.

-I'm just being polite.

She facepalmed and sighed.

-You just say that it's great and the time you'll pick her up, just that. Maybe something flirty. Let me show you, I'm you, and you're Spaghetti.

-Okay.

-Hey, are you busy tonight?-She made a flirty face

-No?

-Great, because you and I have plans.

-What?

-I'll explain it when I pick you up at 7. Gotta go, bye.

-Wow.-You said amused.

-I know.-She bragged- I'm good at this.

-Can't you ask her out for me?

-I'll pretend I didn't hear that.-She closed her eyes.- Okay Steve, did you understand at least?

- I did.

-Then let's make it real.

-What?

She grabbed her phone and out a ohiti of Y/N on the screen.

-W-Why this photo??-You gasped.

-Our secret, now move on and ask.

-To the picture?

-To the picture.

You took a deep breath.

-Hi.

-Hey-Natasha replied.

-So...I was thinking...Are you free tonight?

-Yes. Why?

-Maybe we could go out?

-Just us 2?

-Yeah...I mean only if you want to.

-Like a date?

-Y-Yes.-You struggled- Would you go?

Natasha made a suspenseful pause.

-I'd love to.

-YES!-You yelled and Natasha gave you a look to stop- Oh, yeah, sorry. Um...So i pick you up at 7?

-Sounds good. See you there.

-Yeah, uh bye.

She put aside the phone and gave you a high five.

-Not bad, you can do this.

-Really?-You asked excited.

-Really. The last lesson Steve.-She tapped your shoulder- Be yourself. She likes you because you are you.

-Do you think she likes me?

She chuckled.

-You two are so innocent. Of course she does. Now go!

You nodded and headed to the door, before leaving you turned to her:

-Thanks Nat, really.

-Whatever, good luck.-She gave a quick smile and you left.

Call Me Maybe Cover By Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox playing (see video at the beggining of the chapter)

There she was. Perfectly standing on a corner reading a book. Her hair f charmingly falling on her face as she reads woth attention.

You took a deep breath and walked towards her.

-Hey.-You greeted her.

-Oh, hi Steve.-She replied, you loved the way she pronounced your name, it was kind of addicting, you wanted to keep hearing her calling you.

-Interesting book?-You improvised.

-Yeah...-She holded it behind her and you couldn't see what was it about.- So...How are you?

-Good...-You were starting to feel awkward.-And you?

-Fine.

-Great.-You said and now didn't know what to say.

You could see Natasha's reaction: "Steve your idiot talk to her!"

-...Are you busy tonight?-You finally said it.

-Me?-She reacted surprised- No, not at all. Why?

-I was thinking that maybe...se could go out?

-Go out?

-Yes...Like a date...?

She opened wide her eyes and her mouth opened a little.

-I...I wasn't expecting for you to ask that...ha...-She gave an awkward little laugh.

That's it you ruined everything.

-I mean, only if you want to, I know we are friends but, uh, I--

-Alright.

You didn't believe at her words.

-You what?

-I'm going on a date with you...-She looked down and her cheeks blushed cutely.

-Y-You will?-You formed a big smile on your face- YES!-You jumped across the hallway and you heard her laughing, just then you noticed what you did.-Oh sorry-You went backt o her- So..I'll pick you up at 7?

-Okay. See you then.

You couldn't believe, your heart beated so fast that you thought would jump out of your chest.

-O-Okay...Uh thanks for accepting-Why did you say that?

-Thanks for asking-She chuckled as she left and still looked at you.

When she finally laughed you sighed in relief.

That wasn't so bad.
