Contritium - Marvel Studios [5]

twenty.

I stood outside Steve's room as I stared at the door ahead of me, just having left Wanda's room and making my way down the hall. I let out a deep breath as I put my finger on the pad, the light turning to green as I pushed the door open, pulling off my black coat and throwing it onto the bed, taking a seat next to it as I reached down, pulling my heels off and leaving them on the floor as I sighed, lying back on the bed and setting my hands on my stomach.

I closed my eyes for a moment, taking deep breaths in and out. "Pull yourself together, Ally" I whispered to myself as I got up, standing in my place as I picked up my shoes, making my way over to the wardrobe, pulling the sliding doors open all the way, half of it filled with my clothes and the other half filled with Steve's. I put my shoes down on the floor, pulling the doors closed once again as I looked at myself in the mirror, my pants creased and gathering on the floor a little bit now that I wasn't as tall as I was in my shoes.

I stared at my reflection, my concealer creased one my eyelids as my lashes were extended and curled up, finishing off the make up look I had done in the last 30 minutes of the flight into JFK. I didn't look tired, which wasn't the case for how I was feeling, having been on two long flights in only the last few days, the sudden end to my London trip taking a toll on me.

I turned around, looking at the bed as I went to grab my coat, my eyes catching a picture that day on one of the nightstands, a picture of Steve and I smiling as my arms were wrapped around his neck, my head tipped back in laughter as he smiled at me. I walked over to it, grabbing it and placing it faced down on the table as quickly as I had saw it. I didn't exactly know what was going to happen to Steve and I, but there was a feeling in the bottom of my stomach which told me it wasn't going to be a good thing, which hurt my heart more than anything.

I moved over to the dresser, looking at myself in the small mirror which was balanced on top of it, reaching up as I pulled the earrings out of my ear, setting them in the small dish which was there for that exact reason. My hair was down as it fell over my shoulders, picking up a band as I tied it into a low ponytail, not particularly wanting to deal with it right now. I opened the top drawer, reaching into grab a pair of socks, picking up a white pair of Steve's, men's socks seeming to keep my feet much warmer than the ones I had.

I held them in my hand as I pulled them apart, something hard hitting off of my hand as I looked down, something hidden inside the sock as I furrowed my eyebrow, taking the other empty one and placing it back in the drawer for now. I put my hand inside the sock, my fingers wrapping around something as I pulled it out, my mouth parting as I dropped the other sock to the ground, taking a small step back as I looked down at the small velvet ring box I was holding in my hand.

I let out a small breath as I opened it, a pear cut ruby with a lining of small diamonds, all sitting on a rose gold band with the diamonds wrapping all the way around, sitting in a small satin cushion. I pulled the ring out of the box, letting it fall to the floor as I turned towards the window, letting the light hit it as I took in a small breath, running my hand over the stone as I held it out in front of me as it caught the light beautifully.

All of the sudden something flipped within me, causing me to walk back over and pick up the box, pushing the ring back into it as I looked down at the ring once again, closing the box in my hand. I put it back into the door, pushing it closed as soon stood in the middle of the room for a moment, putting his hands on hips as I looked up at the ceiling. I shook my head, running my tongue over my bottom lip as I let out a small shocked laugh, not entirely knowing how to react after finding a ring that Steve had  clearly been hiding from me.
