the best friends to more meme

There's nothing in this world quite like a true, blue best friend that you can rely on. They've been with you through thick and thin, good and bad. You want to have fun? They're the first person you look for, because they always know how to bring the best out in you. You need a shoulder to cry on? Don't worry, they're already here. You need to bury a body? ...you should probably reconsider your priorities, but you know your best friend will be there with a shovel and a smile. You'd never ruin this friendship for ANYTHING in the world.

Something's brewing that may do just that, though. One of you has feelings, has for a long time, and that spells trouble. Unless you keep that to yourself and remain platonic, of course. Repression in this case might be a good thing.

Only it's too late. The cat's out of the bag, whether it's by confession or by accident. What to do, what to do? If feelings aren't returned, can you turn down a friend, or will you force something that isn't there just to make them happy? If feelings are returned, will you risk changing the perfect thing you have?

He bowed his head a little to her wisdom, aware that she was willing to sacrifice more than anyone else he knew for the entire idea of what was right and wrong. That was a strong streak in her, though he knew some of it had to do with something to prove back then being so small and mocked for it. "Your reasons were always respected by me. I was just there to pull you out on the other side." He winced at the sudden prod to his chest, reaching between them to rub the spot. Yeah, she certainly had gotten a lot stronger than he remembered. "It is. I always knew you had it in you," he said and leaned in to steal a kiss from her.

Well it was good that she was getting control over her own command, that she had a say in the men that she would take with her into the fire of wherever she was going. He suspected Colonial Phillips had to take her word now that she had proven herself so good at soldiering and leading missions. "I'm ready for combat right now, Captain." He gave a small salute. "I've got more reason to be on that special ops unit than anyone."

“I always knew you never minded my reasons, I think you complained more about my methods of trying to achieve them.” And really it’s not as if she had been looking to fight all the times, she had tried to talk but then only words –as rightful as they might have been, had always pissed people off since quite clearly no one wanted to hear they were wrong or that they were being scolded by someone that should mind her own business and know her place. And well now she felt a bit bad that she had probably hurt him a bit. “Ah sorry…” And alright, she’s not going to complain about that kiss, though she might need to get used that was now a thing they did.

For a few moments she thought his reason was revenge or something against Hydra, but then she remembered that she hadn’t told him that’s what she was supposed to be doing and that his reason was probably her, considering the shift in their relationship, but then she knew even if that hadn’t happened he will still more than likely offer to go with her. “Very well, soldier, I will keep it in mind and mention it to the Colonel and Miss Carter.” And she was really, she really couldn’t refuse him now, she will just need to keep an eye on him. “Now you said you wanted to rest, so better take that chance now, right?”

Well, he had seen her efforts to talk about it and stop it from happening, but bullies were cowards and anyone who thought otherwise was a fool. They enjoyed picking on smaller people, but they were quick to turn tail when they realized they were outmatched. It was unfortunate that Stephanie hardly ever out matched them when she talked them down. It just made her a target, but he hadn't stepped in until he had known where it would go. He wasn't there to fight her battles for her because she did just fine, but he was there to be her friend and clean her up. "Well it usually started with talking so that's good."

He knew that she would at least consider him, though he wondered if she would not take him because of the potential for increased danger in a small team. He was in danger no matter what though, and he was intent on getting on that unit and going with her. They had each other's backs after all. "Fine, fine, I'll rest, but you have to stay and rest too." He tugged her up against his chest and leaned in to nestle his face into her hair before closing his eyes.
