3... 2... 1...
You began to feel your cheeks warm up as you and Steve stared at each other. His face grew pale before quickly turning multiple shades of red. He reached out his again and tried to clear his throat, but that just turned into a coughing festival. You giggled softly at his attempts to be a gentleman before returning your attention to Director Fury.
"Is there a reason you wanted to meet with me? And/or have him here? He's perfectly capab-" You gasped as you came to realize that he knew that you guys were soulmates.
"HOW COULD YOU?!" Your anger showed through. Fury gave you a look that said 'calm-down-or-I'll-calm-you-down'. You immediately stepped away from him and he walked out the door, leaving you and Steve in the room.
~Steve's POV~
Director Fury walked out of the room, leaving the girl and me by ourselves. I rubbed the back of my neck, wondering how I was going to approach her. Her eyes flickered up to me. She took a deep breath and stuck her hand out.
"I'm (y/n)." She smiled and shook my hand stronger than I was expecting.
"Oh! Sorry um. I'm a bit stronger than I look, I know." She smiled sheepishly. I returned her smile.
"I'm Reve Stogers." I frown after realizing what I had just said.
"Way to go Steve." Tony paraded in our meeting and clapped me on the back. I looked everywhere but in (y/n)'s eyes. I was too embarrassed.
~Your POV~
"I'm Reve Stogers," Steve said. It took a moment for him to realize what he said before his face turned beet red.
"Way to go Steve." Tony had made his appearance and decided to tease the elder. You laughed to yourself. You noticed how embarrassed he was so you tried to make him feel better but he wouldn’t look at you. Tony walked around the two of you a few times before slipping out, followed by Steve. You frowned when he left. You didn't understand why he didn't talk to you. It honestly hurt your feelings. After collecting your thoughts and burying your emotions, you proceeded to walk out of Fury's office and into the hallway.

You wandered around the S.H.I.E.L.D. base before feeling a deep pang of guilt. You looked around, finding the hallway empty. You didn't know where the feelings were coming from until you heard a voice in your head.
"Steve, you idiot. Ugh. She probably hates me now. Probably broke her poor heart."
The thoughts sounded like Steve's voice. You shook your head and decided to make your way out the base and back home. Suddenly, you felt someone grip your shoulder only, there wasn't anyone there. You didn't like this feeling so you rushed out of the building and made a beeline for your car.
~Steve's POV~
The moment I walked out of the room I felt guilty. I walked down the hallway and into the room where the rest of the Avengers were waiting. When I walked into the room all of them perked up, wanting details but I shook my head at them.
"Steve? What did you do?" Bucky leaned forward in his chair, raising an eyebrow at me. I ran my fingers through my hair and let out a frustrated sigh.
"I told her my name was Reve Stogers and panicked." I sat in the nearest chair that I could find. As I sat down, sadness and insecurity washed over me. Tears were streaming down my face and I hadn't realized it until Bruce handed me a box of tissue.
"Never thought I'd see you cry, Spangles." Tony leaned against a wall and crossed his arms.
"These aren't my feelings though." I put my head in my arms. Bucky gripped my shoulder and bent down to look me in the eyes.
”You’re experiencing her feelings I think. She’s in her car so if I were you, I’d go talk to her.” He called me shoulders with both of his arms and walked away
~Your POV~
When you had made it inside of your car, all hell broke loose. Tears loosely flowed from your eyes. Heart-wrenching sobs escaped your lips. You felt so lonely. You had thought that the reason he walked out is that he didn’t want you. You sunk into the seat if your car once again. As the sound of your sniffles filled your car, you slowly began to feel warm and you could feel Steve’s presence. You were in your own world and you didn’t hear or notice that Steve had joined you in your car until he softly set a hand on your leg. You jumped at his touch but settled down. His bright blue eyes were full of guilt.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left like that,” He removed his hand and looked down, “I didn’t mean to hurt you like that.” He choked up at his last words. You could feel his guilt, and as tears spilled from his eyes, they spilled from yours too.
“Stop crying. You’re making me cry, literally.” You smiled at him and cupped his face in your hands. He let out the smallest chuckle and smiled. He removed your hands from his face and held them
"Would you... um... Uh... Date me would go you with?" Steve once again stumbled over his words, turning red because of his embarrassment. You could feel his nervousness and you laughed. His face contorted in confusion when you laughed, which only caused you to laugh some more.
"I would love too."
