Song: The Neighbourhood - crybaby.

Imagine: Steve comes back from his mission, badly injured, when he wakes up he doesn't remember you, only his ex Sharon, who just so conveniently stands by his side.

VENT AF IN THE BEGINNING

Now on with the chapter!

•

Your life went to a complete stop after you got the one phonecall you've been dreading your whole life.

He was badly injured on a mission, it was just a mix of bad weather and too many bad guys in too many places. It was just a poor plan.

The doctors are convinced he will wake up, you have no idea when so you spend all your time, everyday, by his side, holding his hand and just rubbing your thumb over it to elicit some kind of reaction, but obviously failing to get one.

'How is He?' Sharon asks walking in, making your face harden.

Everyone always favoured Sharon over you, that's just the way it is. Not the team though, but Steve's family. His mother likes Sharon way more than she likes you.

'Look I know you're not really in the mood to talk...'

'Really?, wow What gave you that idea?, why are you even here Sharon?, haven't you done enough?' You snarl at her.

'His mom send me to look after him..'

'Of course she did...well it's not necessary..I'm here...so you can just crawl back to that cave You came from...'

'You don't have to be so mean...'

'You tried to poison me because were together, you tried to make it seem like he was cheating, I don't believe there's anything you haven't done to drive us apart!'

'Nnggh..' Steve suddenly moves and you gasp.

'Steve?, baby?' You ask as you rise from your chair and stand next to his bed just as he opens his eyes.

First they focus on you. Confusion spreads across his face, why? 

'I'm so glad you're-'

He interrupts you, something he's never done before.

'I'm sorry who are you?' He asks confused and you frown at him.

'Steve...baby its me...y/n...' you stutter at him as you cup his face. He dodges you and looks past, his eyes landing on Sharon.

'Sharon...' He starts smiling, that's also something you wouldn't expect from him after the last fight he had with her.

'Steve...how are you feeling?' She roughly shoves you aside as she takes your place.

You feel an ache in your chest, he doesn't remember you. He doesn't remember that he asked you to marry him on the Fourth of July. He doesn't remember having a relationship, he doesn't remember anything, not anymore.

You don't know what to do, tears are already threatening to spill from your eyes. So you do the only logical thing you can think of, you bolt.

Sharon smiles, She finally got what she wanted, she wanted Steve, and for a very small price she finally has him. It really wasn't that hard, she just got the brainwash stuff and got someone to alter it so they forget a small part, in this case, you.

'Who's that other girl?'

'Oh she's uh, one of your teammates...I'm sure your memory of her will restore...' She lies.

He won't remember anything from you, he won't remember what Sharon did either, it's all so convenient.

The Fourth of July rolls around pretty quickly, and it's a day you want to be over fast.

Steve has been recovering at the tower, with Sharon of course. Fully in love. And you're stuck in your room, trying to avoid everything and everyone.

It's not only a year ago that that he proposed, today was also the day you were supposed to get married.

'Sharon?, you sure there isn't anything on this date that I'm supposed to remember?' He asks.

'No honey...I told you already, there is nothing you're supposed to remember other than celebrations...' she replies sweetly.

He started remembering a few things along the way, he now recognised you, he knows you're a teammate, but his gut is telling him there's more to you than Sharon or anyone else is willing to let him on. And well... Sharon isn't too thrilled by that, what a surprise!

'Let's go...' She smiles and takes Steve's hand just as you come walking into the Living room.

You don't reply to any of them, Steve frowns, he doesn't know you well enough but you always say something when you run into each other. And he can't stop thinking about it when Sharon drags him out.

You sit down on the couch, looking through the ceiling high windows, to the people celebrating. You envy them. You shouldn't but you do.

'Not out there like everybody else?' Bucky's voice fills the air.

You scoff, 'not really in the mood...what about you?'

'I have an allergy...'

'What for?'

'People...' He jokes as he sits down next to you.

You chuckle, the first time in a long time you let out a genuine chuckle, it only lasts a moment but at its genuine.

'How are you doing?, I know this day must be hard for you?'

You look at your fingers fiddle with the engagementsring . You haven't had the heart to pull it off, silently hoping that he would remember.

'Yeah...I try to avoid them as much as I can, not because I'm jealous of Sharon or anything but it's hard to see him when he doesn't remember anything other than the fact that we're teammates...not even friends... teammates...' you sigh.

'Maybe he'll remember...I mean it took me a while too... and I understand if you're trying to avoid him...I mean I would too if I were in your shoes..if you wanna talk IM here, not going anywhere...' he comments.

It stays silent for a while as you absentmindedly stare at New York. Tears forming in your eyes when you see one of the invitations laying on the small coffeemaker next to you.

You don't have any family anymore, Steve has but he hates them, well hated because now he doesn't remember anything they did. But because you wanted to make invites to be like a normal bride, he made them together with you, send some to his family, it's not like they will show up, but just to rub it in their faces. Tony must've left it out here.

You take it off of the table, between your fingers. You toss it away, on the bigger coffee table.

'Y/n...you can't beat yourself up over this...it's not your fault...'

'I should've been there...but instead i was busy planning the wedding and arranging everything...'

'Y/n...' Bucky sighs. 'It's not your fucking fault!'

'Damn right...' Tony cuts in.

Both your heads snap towards his voice, Tony is holding an iPad in his hands with a video ready to play.

'What's going on Stark?' Bucky asks.

'Y/n, you need to see this...' Tony shiver the iPad in your hands and you click the play button.

Steve just remembered something very important, he remembers proposing to someone, someone that isn't Sharon. He remembers proposing to her. Y/n.

It was exactly where he is right now. Right in Central Park.

'I love you, and I really want you to become my wife...y/n..' he gets on one knee and holds open a box with a ring. 'I don't care what my family thinks, I only care about you...and the team but mostly you...'

She gasps as she clamps a hand over her mouth. 'Stevie you're not serious oh my god...'

'I am very serious, I wanna hitch... exactly a year from now...on the Fourth of July, in the Stark tower, with the team present, nobody else...so will you?' He asks and she immediately replies with a yes.

He remembers that feeling, the feeling he had when the word "yes" escaped her mouth. It's nothing like the feelings he has for Sharon, which start to ebb away as he remembers more and more.

Now he also understands why she would dodge him, why she looked so pained before he and Sharon left the tower.

It hits him with full force, the brainwashing suddenly coming to an end due to his serum. He doesn't love Sharon, he hates Sharon, and he hates his family, he loves y/n, and he was supposed to get married to her today.

'Steve...honey?, everything okay?' Sharon asks and his face hardens at her words.

She is the reason he lost his memory, she injected him and then right after he couldn't remember a thing. She ruined his and y/n's life.

He looks at his watch, it's still the Fourth of July for a couple hours, if he's fast he can get the team to set up everything, maybe he can make Bucky distract y/n.

'I have to go...' he abruptly lets go off Sharon without further explanation as he starts to make some phone calls.

You're heavily sobbing into your pillow, after finding out that it was Sharon who did this, it broke you in even tinier pieces than the whole Steve thing altogether.

And the fact that your dress, shoes and everything else is laying in the corner of the room doesn't help either.

'Where is she?' A muffled voice asks behind the door.

'She's in her room, we can't get her out but I don't think it's a good idea to-'

The door busts open revealing Steve. He no longer had this confused me scare look on his face. He actually seems like himself this time. He's panting, he must've ran his way back to the tower.

'Y/n, I remember...I remember everything...' he pants and you slowly sit up on the bed.

'What?' Your strangled voice asks.

'I remember everything, I remember asking you on a date, I remember fighting with Sharon and my family over you, I remember proposing, I remember everything...' he sits down on the bed and cups your face.

Your eyes grow big as a smile spreads across his face, you copy his smile just before he crashes his lips on yours. You only takes brakes to breathe, that's how close he wants to be right now because he missed this, he missed you, without even realising it.

'Were supposed to get married today...'

'Well I guess it's postponed now...'

'Hm I don't know about that doll...it's still the Fourth of July...we have some time to make it work...'

'What about Sharon?'

'Fury has her and since you're like his daughter, I doubt he will go easy on her...'

'So you still wanna get married?'

'Yes!, of course y/n!, you're my everything, and even when I don't remember it...you are subconsciously in my mind..if you want we can get married in a couple hours...on the fourth...like we planned...'

'I...I...yes!, yes!'

He kisses you again before finally leaving your lips alone for a moment. 'Go put on the dress and the shoes...were doing this thing!, mainly because now I can't wait...'

'You may now kiss the bride...' Bruce says and Steve is quick to pull you against him.

You gaze into Steve's (changed it from tachtigers) eyes before both leaning in, he dips you like a true romantic. And a cliché.

'Can I look away now?' Sharon asks fury, her tone annoyed.

'No, this is part of your punishment...' he answers making both Bucky and Maria snigger.

Steve pulls you up again as you catch your breath. 'When we walk down, you don't get to jump on Sharon...'

'Oh come on!' You roll your eyes with a smile.

Instead of picking you up bridal style, gelifte you over his shoulder and raises his fist in the air as he cheers making the team erupt into laughter and cheer themselves.

When he walks around the corner, he puts you down again and gently caged you against the wall like he did when he asked you on a date.

'I love you...'

'Wait really?' You act shocked making him chuckle at you. 'I love you too Stevie...god I was so scared I lost you...'

'It won't happen again, I promise...'

'It better not, because I will punch it into you...'

'You do that..' he captures your lips one more time before pulling you with him to the party they set up for you two.

(Bonus)

It's been two months since the wedding and you absolutely adored waking up as Misses Rogers. Like today.

You open your eyes and you see Steve staring at you. Confusion written on his face.

'Steve?, baby?, what's wrong?' You ask as you sit up.

'Who are you?' He asks and your heart sinks into your stomach.

Your lip starts to quiver and he immediately shoots up and tells you he's joking.

'Oh I know, I just wanted to give you payback because that's not funny...just because I'm your wife now doesn't mean that is funny...' you slide out of bed and make your way to the bathroom to shower.

He runs after you but before he can enter you shut and lock the door.

'Hey I want to join!'

'This is your punishment Rogers!' You giggle back.
