The smell of bacon and eggs pulls you from a deep sleep making you roll over and reach for your boyfriend only to find he isn't there. Your eyes slowly flutter open and you look around to see that he wasn't in your room. You whimper as you roll back over to look grab your cell phone and check the time. You groan in annoyance at the earliness. Sitting up you feel your body ache and you smile softly as you remember the amazing night you and your boyfriend had had just the night before. Wrapping the sheet around your naked body you stand up and silently walk toward the amazing smell.

You follow it to see you boyfriend finishing the last touches on two plates full of breakfast. He was shirtless, but was wearing a pair of Captain America pajama pants you had had specially made for him. You smile lovingly at the sight before he looks up from the plates to see you and smiles. "Dammit (Name), I wanted to surprise you." He says placing his hands on his hips.

"Oh, do you want me to go back to bed and forget I saw all this?" You ask jokingly making him cock an eyebrow at you.

"No," He says quickly crossing the floor too you. Without so much as a warning he swoops down and with his shoulder catches you in the stomach and lifts you over his shoulder making you cry out in shock as he carries you back to the bedroom.

"Ah!! Food Steve!" You call out as you reach for the abandoned plates.

"We can eat in a minute." He replies as he walks back into your room and flipping you off his shoulder sets you on the bed with a thump. His eyes wash over you causing a red tint to glaze your cheeks. He smiles seductively before he climbs onto the bed with you. You watch as he lays down beside you and says, "Close your eyes."

"Why?" You ask eyeing him curiously.

"It's a surprise," He says and you narrow your eyes but do as your told.

"Okay, they're closed. What-" Your words are cut off as his lips touch yours. Your hands move on their own as they reach up and wrap around his neck pulling him in closer. Before you could deepen the kiss more he pulls away and says, "I wanted to wake you up with a good morning kiss."

"Aw, how cheesy. I love it." You say as your eyes slowly open to look at him.

"I also want to be the first thing you see every morning." He adds and your face turns serious as your heart starts to race.

"Steve, where are you going with this?" You ask and he pushes up off the bed to kneel next to the bed. You shoot up into sitting position as your mind tries to comprehend what is going on.

"(Name), we've been dating for a couple years now... No that isn't right... Let me try this again, it sounded so much better when I was practicing."

"Steve,"

"Right sorry," He clears his throat and meeting your eyes says, "(Name), You are the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning. When I walked into that diner and first saw you, your hair a mess, probably wanting to murder everyone in sight, you were having a bad day that day but it didn't stop you from being kind to every customer there. It was your smile that originally caught my eye, but your kind heart and beautiful soul made me fall for you. We met that day, you almost dropped a plate full of pancakes on my lap because you were staring so hard."

"Hey!" you call out happy tears filling your eyes. "You were staring too."

"And for good reason." He adds making you giggle. "We exchanged numbers and had our first date that weekend. We went to dinner at a restaurant you had been dying to go too."

"The food was so bad." You add making him chuckle at the memory. "Yeah, I'm not gonna lie it was bad; but the company was perfect. Then we took a train to the pier and walked down it just talking about our lives."

"Which you hid being Captain America from me at first, just said you were a soldier." You add making him shake his head.

"Yeah, not my smartest move. You saw through that no trouble at all."

"That's cause I'm very observant."

"That you are babe. I've never been this in love with someone before. You're the one I want to go to bed with at night, and the one I want to wake up to in the morning. I want to spend the rest of my life, good or bad, with you by my side. Will you marry me?" He asks and you practically leap into his arms as you say, "Of course I'll marry you." He smiles bright as he holds you tightly in his arms.

"Just one thing's missing." You say as you pull away from him causing him to cock an eyebrow at you. "I'm not complaining, but usually there is a ring; or at least that's what I've been told." He chuckles as he points to your hand and you look down to see the most beautiful diamond ring you had ever seen sitting on your ring finger. "When did you?" you ask as you bring your hand up to look at the ring.

"When I kissed you." He says and you click your tongue at him.

"Sneaky, how did you know I would say yes?"

"Because you love me." He adds slipping his hands into his pj pants.

"I do." You reply and then chuckle as you point to the ring and add, "I do, I like the sound of that."

"Hungry?" He asks and you nod. He reaches into his dresser and pulling out a t-shirt holds it out for you. "As much as I would love to see you walk around naked all morning, we do have day jobs."

"And you think me wearing your shirt is gonna stop us from having sex?" You ask taking the shirt from him.

"No, but it'll be nice to see you walk around in my shirt." He adds as he walks out of the room toward the kitchen. Rolling your eyes, you let the sheet fall to the floor and slip his shirt over your head.

"Okay does anyone know you were going to propose to me?" You ask as you walk hand in hand with Steve down the sidewalk headed toward Avengers tower.

"I asked Bucky for advice, other than that no one should know." Steve adds his hand gripping tightly to yours.

"So I'm walking into a room of your friends with a ring on my finger and no one knows, save for your best friend, oh yeah this isn't nerve wrecking at all." You say your heart racing as your anxiety takes over.

"It'll be okay (Name), you'll have me right there beside you." He says pausing momentarily to kiss your joined hands.

"So cheesy." You say making a chuckle escape his lips. He turns and you walk side by the side all the way to the tower, into the elevator, and up to the common room where everyone was already getting their party on. The moment they spot you they yell out greetings and you unconsciously raise you left hand and wave back.

"RING!" Sam yells out making you jump slightly in shock before they all converge in on the two of you. When they reach you Nat says, "Let's see it (Name)." You hold your hand out the ring in full view making everyone whoop and holler in congratulations.

"I see the old man finally decided to pop the question." Tony says eyeing the ring.

"That he did," You reply joking making him smirk.

"It's beautiful sweetheart." You hear Pepper add as she leans forward to wrap her arms around you. You hug her back a happy smile filling your lips.

"We should throw Steve and (Name) and Asgardian wedding!" Thor calls out and you instantly shake your head as you say, "Thank you for the offer Thor, but a small simple wedding with friends and family is enough."

"Oh come on, you don't expect to have it in some rinky dink old church do you?" Tony asks and you nod slightly.

"I want to get married in the church Steve went to as a child." You say causing them all to go silent and surprise to fill Steve's face.

"You do?" Steve asks and you nod happily.

"I don't have any family except my sister, so," You turn from Steve to his friends and say, "I was hoping you all would be my new family."

"Ahh she is just too precious." Sam says as he reaches out to wrap his arms around you hugging you tight.

"Welcome to our dysfunctional family (Name)," Clint says as he walks up and wraps his arms around you. You could feel the happy tears starting but before anything else could happen Steve steps up and says, "Okay guys that's enough, don't hog my fiancé."

"Aww don't tell us, you're jealous aren't you." Bucky calls out as he walks up and slides his arm over your shoulders pulling you slightly away from Steve.

"Buck," He replies making Bucky chuckle.

"It's okay if he's a little jealous." You say making them all nod. "Now my last boyfriend-"

"AHHH okay, that's enough of that." Steve interrupts making you laugh. You knew how to joke around with him and he knew it.

"It's okay honey, I never loved any of them the way I love you." You add as you slip out of Bucky's grasp and cross the short distance to look up into Steve's eyes lovingly.

"Okay now it's becoming uncomfortable." Sam says causing both you and Steve to laugh. "We got things to celebrate, so let's get this party started."

You watch lovingly as Steve is clapped on the back and congratulated by his friends. It was sad that your parents wouldn't be able to see you get married but that was alright. You had this new, rowdy group to call your family; and you couldn't be happier.
