Challenge: #16 Kiss
Author’s Notes: Written for Marvel_100. This pairing needs waaaaay more love, so giving it more love is exactly what I’m doing.
Takes place during Cable & Deadpool #25. For those that haven’t read it (heathens!) : Steve is sent by Fury to infiltrate Providence. He loves it there. Like the whole issue, it’s from Cap’s POV.

Adam and Steve

I don’t exactly know why I took Sam with me. The official version is that I wanted someone to have my back, the less official is that I wanted to make Sam up for all the time we didn’t have for each other lately and the truth? I’m not sure now, I think a part of me wanted to do that all along… but let me start in the best possible place: at the beginning.

After we had arrived at Providence, we spent a week being tutored about the basic laws and customs of the haven. It’s been there where I heard that Cable gave gay and straight couples exactly the same rights. I did my homework so of course I had known about this before but hearing this like that, so casually put between one sentence and the other, like it was obvious… it touched something in me. Seeing that I’m bisexual and in love with a man, you may accuse me of selfish motivation but believe me, I’ve always supported gay rights. When I was a boy I had to witness how some of my gay friends were treated by the straight majority and… oh, forgive me, I digressed, I was suppose to talk about Sam.

We were given neighboring quarters but we worked in two different parts of Providence, so I’ve been spending most of my time alone, doing what I was send here for: making observations. I wasn’t explicitly looking for it but I did notice more gay couples that I’ve ever seen, even in Europe.

Perhaps I’d made this decision earlier but wasn’t aware of it until that point, perhaps it was the heath of the moment but when later that day Sam came to walk me to our apartment, I glanced at my palm and moved it gently. It was a mild gesture, invisible to bystanders and perplexing to people that weren’t Sam but he knew me well. He knew what I wanted. Smiling, he put his hand in mine and for the first time since we’d became lovers, we walked holding hands. No one spared us a single glance, people here are so used to the sight of two men together, that it’s no news to anybody.

We were reaching our building when he stopped, put a hand on my shoulder and looked me in the eye. This time it was me who was suppose to decide. I nodded, tilted my head slightly and pressed my lips to his. There was nothing passionate about this kiss, it couldn’t be more chaste but it made my heart race more that if we were making out. Why? Because we were still in public and people didn’t care. Cable really did it, he changed the way that people think. He changed it for better.

Here, in this place, in this moment, I’m not a serpent, I’m not even Captain America, I’m Steve, this is my Adam and I’m in paradise, even if only for a day.
