Everyone has a hand print somewhere on their body – itâs exactly where their soulmate will touch them for the first time.Â
Your hand print is smack-dab in the middle of your stomach. Itâs horizontal, palm starting on your right side, fingers stretching out to your left side.Â
You had tried to envision just what situation would cause such a gesture. Someone placing a hand on your stomach seemed a tad weird, especially if it was going to be someone youâve never met before.
Like most people you couldnât wait for the day you met your soulmate.Â
When your friends had begun to find theirs, it had caused your excitement to escalate at the thought of you being the next lucky one.Â
However, just yesterday, the last of your single friends had found their soulmate, calling you and practically yelling the news at you in happiness.Â
Youâd gone to bed that night sad and woken up the same.Â
Though this sadness soon turned to frustration when you realised that you had no milk, having forgotten to buy some yesterday.Â
It was bucketing down rain outside, and while you loved rainy days, it just made your mood worse.Â
After getting dressed in jeans and the comfiest jumper you owned, you went to get your umbrella.Â
You canât find it.
Seems about right. You think bitterly
Huffing a sigh, you leave your apartment and start the trudge to the convenient store two blocks away.Â
Everything looks grey and bleary, with no person or car in sight, not that you can see that far ahead in the driving rain.
Your arms are folded in a pathetic attempt to keep warm and within a minute of walking along the sidewalk your hair is soaked, hanging in clumps.
Your wet jeans are a whole new level of uncomfortable but they had been the only long pants you owned, you sure as hell werenât changing into shorts.Â
Gritting your teeth to stop your shivers, you hunch slightly, glaring at the ground as bitter thoughts plague your mind.Â
Lost in your head, you donât notice that youâre about to cross a side street, or the car thatâs about to come pulling out.
All youâre aware of is being jerked backwards as a car zooms past.Â
Reflexively, your right hand has grabbed the forearm of the person behind you, while your left grabbed their bicep – very large bicep –Â your mind absentmindedly notices.Â
Your back is flush against their chest, which is somehow warm.Â
âOh my godâ youâre shaking from the cold and the realisation of what could have just happened âThank you so muchâ
Twisting slightly and tilting your head up you lay eyes on the most handsome man youâve ever seen.Â
Like you, heâs soaked, blonde hair sticking to his forehead and water trickles down, around his stunning blue eyes and to his parted lips. You realise heâs staring at your hands.Â
Looking down, you do a double take, not at your hands, but his.Â
His hand is right where your hand print is.Â
âOh my godâ you repeat.
The stranger – your soulmate – seems to snap from his comatose state, dropping his arm and turning you to face him.Â
âAre you okay?â
Worried hands hover over your shoulders and face as he scans you.
Love is blooming through you as you take in his face – then youâre hit with the realisation of just who is standing in front of you.Â
âIâm fine thanks to you, Captainâ
A small smile tugs at his lips, before he takes a deep breath and asks âAre youâŚDid I?â
Reaching down, you grip the bottom of your jumper and pull it up so the hand print is visible to him.Â
The blue, short sleeved shirt heâs wearing shows the two hand prints on his right arm clearly, exactly where you had grabbed him.Â
âWeâre soulmatesâ you confirm softly.Â
The happiest grin stretches across his gorgeous face and you find yourself copying the gesture, letting go of your jumper as Steve steps forwards and wraps his arms around your waist, placing his forehead against yours.Â
âIâve been waiting on you a long time sweetheart.â
Steveâs parents donât know heâs dating you, the daughter of the kingdomâs best baker.Â
Steve has kept you a secret – not in embarrassment, but in worry. He doesnât know how theyâll react to your⌠lack of royalty.Â
Also, he wants to keep you to himself as long as possible – spend time with you without the whole kingdom watching.Â
Then one day, Steveâs parents tell him he has four months to find a wife.
Heâs given the deadline because his parents want him to âput himself out thereâ and find his true love – unaware heâs already found it.
Steve knows he doesnât want anyone other than you, and so, without his parentâs permission – but with your fatherâs (Steve is a proper gentlemen after all) he asks you to marry him.
Of course you say YES.
Youâre sweating bullets when Steve takes you to the castle to introduce you as his fiancee to his parents.
Steve keeps whispering reassurances in your ear
âTheyâll love you.â
âWell if they donât, it doesnât matter because I do.â
So there you are, standing in front of the King and Queen as Steve tells them everything.
Theyâre stunned to say the least, looking at you both speechless.Â
Of course you both think itâs in anger.
Then next thing you know
âWhy didnât you tell us sooner?â
âSheâs gorgeous!â
âWeâre so happy for you both!â
You and Steve are stunned and speechless now.Â
âYouâre⌠youâre okay with this? Both of you?â Steve eventually asks.
âOf course! Why wouldnât we be? We just wanted you happy!â
Within an hour, the whole kingdom is buzzing in excitement with the news.
No offense but Steve Rogers getting anxious and upset because he desperately wants to respect his partner and thinks any act of making the first move/taking charge is unwanted or possessive or inappropriate is so fucking endearing and 10/10 good trope (and it works for any pairing!)
Hi again iTS BECAUSE HE THINKS HES SCARY AND HE THINKS OTHER PEOPLE THINK HES SCARY SO THATS WHY HES INSECURE ABOUT BEING TOO PUSHY BECAUSE THE THOUGHT OF PRESSURING THE ONE HE LOVES IS HIS GREATEST FEAR okay Iâm done
simple as the title, where your avenger boo kisses youÂ
Bucky: Thighs. On your first few dates with him, you never pictured Bucky to be a thigh man. You more expected him to be an old fashioned kiss on the hand type, but that all went out the window the first night he slept over. He took what you thought were flaws and made them his favorite things about you. Bucky loves waking you up in the morning by trailing kisses starting at your collarbone and going all the way down to those thighs he loves. You have a small tattoo on your inner left thigh that he always traces over lightly with his fingers, and it drives you absolutely mad. When heâs had a long day of being an avenger, he loves coming home to already find you in bed. Bucky takes this time to climb into the king sized bed and rest his head on your lap, occasionally leaning over from his phone to place a kiss on your thighs and tell you little things about his day.
Steve: Forehead. It started when the two of you finally made your relationship public, and went to a baseball game together. People were around everywhere, most trying to pretend they werenât staring as you walked to your seats hand in hand, but some were blatantly taking pictures and whispering to their friends. Steveâs grip moved to around your shoulder, and he pulled you closer to him while walking around inside the stadium. Being in the public eye wasnât something you were used to, and Steve could tell. So instead of giving everyone a show, he sweetly placed his lips on your forehead in hopes of calming you down. After that came many more events where he did the same before you walked out into the public eye, and it stuck as a way for you to calm one another down. Plus it was a way for the two of you to avoid the whole gross PDA thing.
Natasha:Neck. It became a thing of good luck for the both of you whenever she would place a kiss on the left side of your neck before going off on a mission. You werenât an active agent anymore, but there were times where you would be with Maria in the control room. Natasha had no shame in kissing you in front of whoever she wanted, whether itâs just the team, or on a red carpet for the whole world to see. Sometimes she would just kiss your neck out of the blue to get you flustered and red in the face. Even on game nights with the team she would lean over your lap just to get her lips on your neck before making any bets with the team, and 99% of the time her PDA payed off. Nobody in the public eye knew how much she really suffered from the trainings when she was a kid, and sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night suffering from those memories. But you were there for her, leaving kisses across her jaw and down her neck, bringing her back to reality in your arms.
Thor:Hand. Albeit cliche, he truly loves making you feel like his queen. He was raised to treat women with the utmost respect, because he understood that he wouldnât be there if it wasnât for them. So when Thor met you, he felt as if he had cracked the code to what life is supposed to be like. Everyone knows about how bubbly he is, but he was even more so after that first look into your eyes at the Shield christmas party. When Thor wakes up in the morning, the first thing he does is bring you closer to his body and kiss your hand. Itâs his way of showing how much he loves and respects you, and without being too gross with the affection. But that sure doesnât mean that heâs afraid to be affectionate. Â
Tony:Chest. Tony is all about chest kisses, and he places them with such love and care. He loves leaning into your chest while you are laying on the couch or in bed after a long day of being Tony Stark. You hold his head there, softly running your fingers through his hair and stroking his cheek. He feels his safest with his lips on your chest, even safer than when heâs in the iron suit that is damn near indestructible. It momentarily dispels all negative thoughts from his mind, and leaves him with nothing but pure adoration towards you. He feels like a giant weight is lifted off his shoulders as well. Itâs at that point when he turns his head and absentmindedly presses a short, chaste kiss to your skin or the fabric that covers the area.
Peter:Temple. Whether the two of you were tangled up in each other on the couch watching a movie, or silently strolling down the street hand in hand, he always pulled you into a warm hug, and pressed a sweet kiss to your temple. Whenever he was struck with the opportunity, Peter would lightly peck your temple. It helped that you happened to enjoy being kissed there just a little bit more than straight up lip-locking. He wanted to make sure you knew how much he loved and was there for you, and felt that a soft kiss on your forehead or temple was the way to do it. Sometimes you even stretched up on your tiptoes to place a kiss on his temple whenever you saw him stressing out over something, especially new mission plans. Him leaving for said missions was a new thing, so it was always a toss up of who was going to be more strung out over the job that day.
Loki:Under-jaw. The two of always spent your down time wrapped up in blankets in bed, doing absolutely nothing aside from basking in each otherâs company and body heat in silence. Loki leaned in to you and you leaned into him, becoming utterly obsessed with each other. He looked at you like you were the most exquisite thing in existence and peppered a million light kisses underneath your jaw and along the side of your neck. You always returned the favor by tightly holding him, eventually squeezing him till he was practically out of breath. You would spend all of your nights together exactly like this, much to both of your delight.
Pietro:Shoulder blades. Pietro craved skin to skin contact with you at all times of the day, mostly in the form of a kiss, which couldnât happen often, much to your disappointment as well as his. So, he stuck to loosely slinging his arm around your shoulders and following you around like a lost puppy while you performed domestic tasks around the compound. Whenever you stopped bumbling about, doing whatever it was that you were doing, Pietro quickly peppered kisses all along your shoulder blades. They spanned everywhere from the shoulders to the nape of your neck. Â As long as it didnât interfere with your task at hand, you indulged him and stood still, eyes fluttering shut in content for a moment until he was inevitably pulled away from you to do important Avengers work. He always made it up to you, however, in the form of much more interesting activities.
Bruce:Nose. Your touch never failed to provide Bruce with much needed affection, and reassurance that you were still around and werenât ever going to leave him. You always stuck around, glued to his side while he moved about his lab. He tried on multiple occasions to explain what he does in the simplest way possible to you. Most of the time, you just looked at him and smiled, which Bruce knew as your nice way of telling him to stop wasting his breath because you werenât going to understand any time soon. He softly chuckled every time, quietly sighed with a light smile on his face, pulled your face close to his and pressed a soft kiss on your nose. This gentle of a kiss reminded him that heâs still just Bruce, and not the other guy.
Scott:Cheek. Scott woke up significantly earlier than you did every morning, but never failed to give you a sloppy good morning kiss on the cheek before he rolled begrudgingly out of bed. They always woke you up though, which you didnât mind. You always pulled a sleepy smile anyway, and rolled over to his side of the bed and basked in the hot spot of sheets he left behind, instantly falling back asleep. You were awakened again about a half an hour later to another, less sloppy kiss on the cheek and a goofy smile from Scott before he left for whatever job he had acquired from his friends. He whispered a promise to you about taking you out to dinner that night, an offer you accepted, before hurrying out of the room and out of the apartment. Â
I love this one. Itâs not like I only ever think about hugging those boys. Not at all.
First of all, I feel like I canât write anything Stucky related without mentioning my lovely friend @barnesrogersvstheworld  đ Attie is the Stucky Queen. So if you want more Stucky stuff, go check out her blog. Sheâs amazing.Â
Both of the boys are affectionate. Letâs be real, theyâre both at least a little touch starved. Buck more so than Stevie, but still.Â
Buck is clingy in the best way. He makes sure heâs touching you or Steve as often as he can – an arm around your waist, a hand on the small of your back, fingers in your hair. Touch helps him. Grounds him. Makes him feel safe in big crowds or loud spaces or if heâs just having a bad day. And that boy loves being the little spoon, no one can convince me otherwise. They are plenty of times he wants to hold you and Steve, but he likes being held more. What a soft boy.Â
Steve is pretty touchy, too, but less so than Buck. Heâs not so open about it, that is. Doesnât do the PDA thing as much as Bucky does – at least, he doesnât initiate it. If you or Bucky touch him first while youâre in public, then heâs down. But when itâs just the three of you, he wants to hold both of you. Steve likes that, holding people. It makes him feel like everything heâs gone through is worth it, the serum and all, if he can keep the two of you safe in his arms. He likes when you rest your head in his lap and Bucky leans against his side. He can run his fingers through your hair and get an arm around Buck at the same time, look at both of you whenever he wants. Heâs a sap.Â
Both of them are very physically affectionate. Theyâre better with physical stuff than words – Bucky just feels bad about expressing his feelings, doesnât feel like heâs allowed to feel bad after everything heâs done, Steve is just an ass that has some strange aversion to communication. I still love him, though.Â
They both work on opening up a little more, though, for you. They make sure to tell you how much they care about you every day, say something nice to you every chance they get. After a while, theyâre using corny pick up lines and saying dumb, sappy stuff.Â
Overall, theyâre very soft. Very cuddly and sweet and kind. When youâre with them, youâre with two giant puppies. Two giant, dorky, insanely pretty puppies. Itâs my dream life, honestly. Â
Bold of you to assume that Captain America will stop existing just because Chris Evansâ contract ended. Iâll just see a movie with Chris Evans in it and think âCap is selling drugs now? Being an Avenger must have not paid wellâ and accept it as part of the MCU timeline.
he totally would! he knows youâre always super worried about him
you wake up one morning and you donât feel steveâs usual warmth against you. you sit up in a panic, already wondering what happened to him and you just see a small little post-it note with the prettiest little handwriting on itÂ
it says âgoing to run with buck this morning, he finally wanted to go out! xoxoâ and you can feel your body go lax cause thank god it isnât something bad for once
sometimes he leaves little sketches on the mornings you sleep in to give a clue to where he went. a small coffee cup to let you know heâs going to starbucks, a grocery cart for the supermarket, a stack of pancakes for breakfast
on your 1st anniversary, he just left a winky face and some hearts (such a mystery man)
or if itâs the middle of the night, and he canât sleep, and he goes outside to think or to the living room to watch tv, heâll leave little arrows to lead you to him.
sometimes it just points right to the balcony, where heâs sitting there, brooding and you can go out there and hug him
or to the kitchen table, where heâs eating the rest of the leftovers before anyone else can get to them
AND
when he leaves for missions or important business and heâs not there to leave a note, heâll leave an entire book of notes for you to read every day, full of sketches and quotes and tiny poems, just little reminders that he loves you and is always there
You shifted uncomfortably as you tried to avoid Steveâs gaze.
âWeâve all missed you,â Steve was the one to break the silence, his voice guarded and careful.
âIâve missed you all too,â you answered, allowing yourself a small smile.
There was silence for a long moment before Steve ventured, âAre you going to tell me why you left?â
You drew a slow breath, holding out your hand. Concentrating, you summoned a small flame, cradling the fire in your palm. Steve watched with wide eyes as the flames danced through your fingers before winking out of existence.
You released a breath you hadnât realized youâd been holding, trying to gauge the super-soldierâs reaction to your power. âNew York isnât exactly big on mutants.â You explained quietly, warmth lingering on your palms. âI mean, itâs getting better because people are learning to accept guys like you and Tony. Super-soldiers and superheroes arenât bad, but mutants are still, well, scary. I figured itâd be best if I laid low while I figured everything out. The people here are like me. Itâs safe, you know?â
Steve was silent for a long moment, âYou like it better here.â It was a statement, not a question.
You pressed your lips together, not wanting to lie to him. âYeah.â
