Okay, so there's like a million billion sexy time memes. So let's not be sexy. Sexy is good but sometimes it's fun to have fluff and humor.

We need some motherfucking tea here up in this bitch.

[msrogers]

Tea, please. [aka drinking]

[msrogers]

[She gives a snort and fumbles with rolling up the sleeves. The coat was her father's. It was big and it kept her warm.] Oh I know better than you think, Bucky Barnes. You're-You're-you're into the tall, pretty girls who can go dancing and not trip over their own two feet. [She wants to stop herself so she grits her teeth]

[ayeayecap]

No, I'm not. I'm into girls who are sweet and talented and actually have a brain between their ears. The tall, pretty ones are a lotta fun, but you need someone with substance if you want anything to last. Which is maybe why I never have gotten serious with a girl. Always chasin' what's fun instead of what I need.

[msrogers]

And Miss Polka Dot Hat is what you need?

[ayeayecap]

[He can't help chuckling at that question.] Nah. She fits into the "lotsa fun" category. [What he needs is someone who knows him inside out, someone with whom he can have an actual conversation, someone to whom he can relate. There's only one person who fits the bill, and he's been friends with her for so long she probably thinks of him as a brother, not a potential romantic partner.]

[msrogers]

What about me? [Her tone is very very quiet. She hadn't even confronted this with herself. She just always thought Bucky would be with her even when they were old]

Oh, my heart.

[ayeayecap]

What, are we talking hypothetically? Well, then, yes, but realistically, I know that's not gonna happen.

/hands tissues?

[msrogers]

And why not? [She really should leave. Leave before she could hear Bucky's answer]

lol thanks

[ayeayecap]

Because how often do childhood friends end up together? How often do childhood friends even want to end up together? Probably not very often.

my heart's breaking toooooo

[msrogers]

[She hears that loud and clear, Bucky.] Oh. [She turns away from him so he wouldn't see her tearing up like this.] Yeah, I think I'm gonna go down to the park. [And cry and eat a pretzel and a caramel apple or something.]

[ayeayecap]

[And what he hears is confirmation. When she doesn't try to rebuke his statement, to tell him that childhood friends do sometimes want each other, he takes it as confirmation that she isn't interested. That she isn't interested, but just can't turn him down. He nods when she mentions going to the park.] Um, yeah. You go do that. And Steph? I'm sorry I tried to spring this on you. It wasn't very cool of me.

[He only wonders what this conversation will mean for their friendship.]

[msrogers]

[She sniffles and wipes her nose on the sleeve of the huge jacket] Yeah, well. You know what, Bucky? Sometimes it does happen. Sometimes they want it to happen. [She leaves and slams the door]

[ayeayecap]

What...

[That's it. He can't just let her go now. Rhonda is the last thing on his mind as he follows Steph out, locking the door behind him. He wouldn't even feel all that bad if the woman arrived while they were gone and no one was home. He had to know...]

Steph, wait! [He catches her by her over-sized sleeve.] What did you mean by that?

[msrogers]

Let go! You know what I meant by that! [She tries to tug her sleeve out of his hand] It just...it happens...sometimes. Sometimes it happens.

[ayeayecap]

I know that sometimes it happens. [It happened to him, after all. Wanting to end up with a childhood friend.] I just- [He sighs, scratching his head.] Did it happen to you?

[msrogers]

[She doesn't look at him. Just pulls on her sleeve] Yes. Yes. Are you happy?
