touched starved!steve rogers headcanon

marvelous-avengers:

warnings: fluff and some curses and its long because i cannot control myself

• everyone is always talking about how Bucky is touch starved but what about that lil punk Steve Rogers
• Steve Rogers may be that bitch™ that is petty and dramatic and doesn’t follow all the rules but my boy is also that person that is so classically reserved
• yeah he picked fights with jerks on the block because his temper is more finicky than momma june on a hot summer day
• but this boy is so polite and such a gentleman to a t because that is how he was raised and how he thinks it should be and he would rather perish than disrespect how his mama taught him how to treat a lady
• and we all know that my poor baby skinny steve was never touched by a woman in his adult life
• (i have so many feelings about this and im trying to articulate it in the best way that i can)
• my mans steve rogers is so classic and poster boy USA (which also explains a lot)
• i mean have you seen his stance? all broad shoulders and tall and shit, arms by his side or hands neatly folded it gets me so frustrated
• he is so rigid sometimes and sprung like a motherfucking coil
• (remember The Avengers Steve Rogers? that mofo)
• i think that like Bucky, sometimes affectionate touch is so foreign to him
• he’s way more open about it than his best friend, because we have seem him interact with other team members but there is still something so reserved about him
• handshakes and back pats and things that qualify as friendly are a no-brainer for his big lug but imagine when he starts getting affection from his SO
• i believe that Steve Rogers is a classic man–in that he believes certain PDA should be private and reserved to the bedroom
• at least to start
• the relationship starts off slow because Steve Rogers is classic and a gentleman but also because he has no idea what the frickity frack he’s doing
• like the boy is nervous
• “maybe a movie and some dinner?” “steve are you asking me to netflix and chill?”
• can you just imagine that face he makes for a minute for me pls&thankyou
• but dates consist of a healthy mix of actually going out and staying in
• at first it’s very light, very basic, like hand holding or an arm around your shoulders, or a gentle hand on your back
• a) because it’s very natural for him as the protector and b) something affectionate that is not so foreign to him because some of these pass off as friendly to others and that is what he is used to
• steve is not overly affectionate by nature but is protective by nature so that’s where a lot of his touch comes from
• you start small by leaning into his side ever so slightly or by grabbing his bicep when you’re holding hands and he loves that™
• steve’s biceps are a kink all on their own, don’t fight me on this
• i think that physical touch with steve is slow and steady because of his classic and reserved nature
• he always somehow has a hand on you whenever you two are together and it varies on where depending on if you’re out in public or with people or by yourself. it varies from hands interlaced to a hand on the small of your back to an arm around the back of your chair to a hand on your knee
• chaste kisses to anywhere on your faces are to be expected but are the most pda he can manage and it makes him blush like crazy at the beginning
• god pls bless me with this classic boi
• he is comforted a lot by your touch and by feeling your skin, as you are with him so everything y’all do is dumbfucking cute and natural and makes that big dopey smile appear on his face
• HOWEVER when you have your first good heated make-out session, boy is he done for
• this motherfucker is wound so goddamn tight from years of being Steve Rogers™ and the Golden Boy™
• he’s trying to be good and keep his hands on your face or sides but when you slip yours into his hair and give the slightest of tugs he fucking snaps
• something between a groan and a whimper come out of him and that good boy Rogers image you have of him is tarnished in the best way
• “rogers did you just growl at me?” steve blushes, “pls do that again”
• it starts the exploration of What Else is Steve Rogers Hiding
• simply put he absolutely adores your body. loves the curves and lines and blemishes and valleys and all it has to offer. tells you constantly and reaffirms it by kissing you everywhere
• loves skin to skin contact more than anything
• he damn near explodes the first time y’all are intimate
• “steve are you blushing?”
• loves sleeping skin to skin/shirtless together/naked, and sometimes when he’s feeling vulnerable he will ask you if its okay to sleep like that (your answer is always yes)
• other times he simply puts his hand up your shirt and just strokes your skin
• he loves being the big spoon and curling his arms around you, nuzzling his nose in the back of your neck. he’ll interlace your fingers or he loves holding onto the curve of your abdomen right below your breast
• he loves when he lies on his back and you’re curled into him, he can hold you and stroke your back. bonus. 
• sometimes you’ll switch and he’ll use your boobs as pillows as he latches onto you like a big baby koala
• the man can’t keep his hands off you™ and is literally always touching you
• he holds your hand constantly and always plays with your fingers
• he’s still reserved in front of the team but trusts them enough to let some things slip by
• movie night in the tower? you two are curled together on the couch with a blanket. sitting around chatting or reading? he’s got your legs over his and is stroking them. having lunch on the roof or balcony? he’ll push some hair out of your face or bring your intertwined hands and kiss your knuckles absentmindedly
• the man loves. to. touch. you.
• in front of everyone else its cute and affectionate and contained but when no one else is around it is out of pure need to be as physically close to you as possible
• he loves you so fucking much it makes his heart sing and he always feels better when you’re around and when you’re touching him
• he’s had so many people ripped away from him that he needs that reassurance of touching you, it grounds him and reaffirms that you are here and that you are real
• once when he just got back from a long mission everyone else had gone out but you had stayed behind with him and made dinner
• he stood behind you and wrapped his big hands around you while you cooked and he just kind of curled around you, pressing kisses everywhere he could reach
• once you finished eating and cleaned the dishes you two settle on the couch to watch a movie and he immediately relaxes as he wraps his arms around you
• he’s like an enormous puppy tbh
• you end up on your back and he’s nestled himself into you, head on your chest and arms around your middle as you run your fingers thru his hair while the other slips through his collar to rub his back
• he melts and is practically puddy in your hands, passing out in minutes and you follow soon after
• when everyone else gets back thats how they find you and everyone wants to take pictures but bucky (who is also protective of your relationship and privacy) tells everyone to leave you two be and so they do
• but he snaps a picture and sends it to steve, knowing he’ll appreciate it. he also sends it to you
• it becomes steve’s lock screen
