30 Days - Diamond

[felicitygs]

 Traditionally, Steve knows, an engagement ring has a diamond. And, supposing Steve had ever found someone to marry before the super serum–or that he’d not been frozen–he likely would have got one with a diamond too.

 

But some of what he loves about the future is how easy knowledge is to come by, even though that means sometimes he learns things he doesn’t like.

 

He won’t get Loki a diamond because there’s a lot he doesn’t like about how they’re gotten, or the trade that goes on around them, but there’s apart of him–a traditional part, Steve Rogers before waking up in the future, a Steve who didn’t know those things–that registers a formal, tight-voiced complaint that he’s giving up how it used to be done.
