#and Sam staunchly refuses to admit that she's crying

[honeylikewords]

OMG SJDJENF T NO ONE WRITES FOR SAM WILSON U BLESS ME SO MUCH!!! PLS TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK IT'D BE LIKE DATING THAT BEAUTIFUL MAN

PLEASE COME TO ME FOR ALL YOUR SAM WILSON LOVING NEEDS I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

ok ok ok ok here we go!!!

i used to live in DC so i’ve got some of that Sweet Insider Knowledge(TM) 

he met his girl at a “the hobbit” themed bar/restaurant that’s in alexandria; his friends and he went as a joke one friday night, and he saw her at a nearby table, laughing herself into hysterics at a friend’s joke

he had to admit the place was dorky but had a really cute appeal to it- kinda kitschy and woodsy and the lights made her smile look so gorgeous and ethereal and he just HAD to get to know her

they got talking because he tried to approach her and she accidentally elbowed him when telling her friend a story 

(he still likes to tell her that they met because she commited “assault and battery against his person”, but that she was so cute he couldn’t possibly press charges)

once they start dating he’s SUCH a cutie

he likes to call her once a day (he is trying SO hard not to be clingy), sometimes to tell her about his day, and sometimes just to hear her talk

they move in after a few months, which gets sam giddy as a schoolboy because!!!! his girl lives WITH HIM!!!! he gets so excited that he goes out and buys a bunch of very silly ikea furniture and wants to put it together with her for the “bonding experience” (said bonding experience results in a frustratingly lopsided coffee table they call “the shitter” because it supports nothing and is just there as a reminder that they both suck at reading those comic book-like ikea instructions)

he loves nothing as much as he loves cooking with his girl, the radio blasting top 40′s pop (you can’t fucking tell me that sam wilson doesn’t love carly rae jepsen- esp fever and store), and he likes to dance with her, even if it’s just him holding her hips from behind and swaying with her as she stirs the pasta in the pot

he’s so cuddly it’s almost laughable. sam will spread out on the couch, limbs everywhere, and want his girl to lay in his lap, head on his chest, his arms around her as they watch tv. it doesn’t matter what program it is, what time it is, not a thing will prevent him from achieving the full-body hug

in that same vein, he really loves to hold her in bed. they don’t always have to be face-to-face snuggling or spooning or anything (god only knows it gets too hot in dc in the summer to warrant falling asleep next to someone’s body heat), but he likes to at least have an arm strewn across her or a hand on her back, or sometimes he gets laces their fingers together and falls asleep like that

sam wilson REFUSES to go out the door in the morning without a goodbye/good luck kiss. staunchly refuses. he will follow his girl around even on the most hectic morning going “baaaaaaby, you’re forgetting somethinnnnng, something sweet and special for your favorite maaaaaan” “sam i have to put my clothes on c’mon” [voice rises an annoying octave] “bAAAAAAAABYYYYYYY”

this whining and following will NOT stop until she gives him a good, warm kiss on the lips, which will make him grin like the cat that got the cream

he’s an obnoxious flirt, long after they’ve been together. he’ll whistle at her when she comes out of the shower in a towel, or he’ll lean on the doorframe as she’s bent over the fridge looking for the jar of pickles and say “hey girl. you come here often?” “samuel, i live here.” “saucy ;)”

he still gets really bad nightmares about his service and deployment, and though he’s learned to manage it, it still rattles him. sometimes they get ugly and his girl is there, on the front lines, and something happens to her that he can’t stop and he’ll wake up in a cold sweat, needing to feel her near. he’ll roll over and latch onto her, burying his face in her back and trying not to cry because it felt so real

she knows his signs and triggers, and she knows instinctively, even in her sleep, that when she feels that kind of touch, he’s in need, so she’ll wake up and take care of him, speaking to him in soft tones and stroking his cheeks and giving him lots of delicate, light kisses

“i’m here, sam, i’m here, i’m right here with you.” “don’t go anywhere, okay, baby? can you promise me?” “i promise you.”

sam wilson has the most incredible sense of loyalty in the world. he’s completely faithful and dedicated, and he gives his whole heart to his love, no matter what. he’s just so crazy about her. he doesn’t ever shut up about his wonderful girl who did this that and the other, or hey did you hear about that time his beautiful gf did xyz or how about-

cap basically knows her before they even officially meet. he knows way too much about her because sam just will NOT SHUT UP about her. he knows her birthday and favorite color and favorite albums and about how when she was in sixth grade she chased a bully with a dead frog on a stick 

however, he’d NEVER tell anyone he didn’t trust about his girlfriend. you have to be so careful about who you trust these days, and he doesn’t want anyone to do anything to his beloved girl. he’s paralyzed with fear that one day, one of these super-freaks is going to hunt down his girl and do something awful to her, and he can’t live with that thought.

but, on a lighter note, sam will sometimes drive out with his girlfriend to nowheresville, USA, with the wings in the trunk of his car, and he’ll show off in front of her in the middle of a field, doing loops and spins up in the sky

in fact, one time he brought an attachment for the wings (that he made) that could skywrite, and he wrote out “WILL YOU MARRY ME” in the clouds

when he finally touched back down, he was grinning like a madman from the adrenaline and she ran across the field and jumped on him, tackling him and spinning him around and yelling “OF COURSE I WILL YOU SHOWOFF”

i have so many more. stop me before i lose control
