The world Steve once knew before he was frozen had really come to shit. But hey, at least he can communicate with others right from his hand. It was unfathomable back then, back when people actually had to walk up to people and write them telegrams. Steve would always scoff at the thought of simply sending a ‘text’ to someone to let them know something.

This text in particular was one that conveyed how stressed Steve had been ever since the Avengers initiated.

“You’re not a secret. Don’t ever think that.” The curve of his thumb pad barely traced the bottom lip of his best friend. In this sense, they were more than just a friend to him, more than a simple one night stand. Though in his heart, he couldn’t easily find himself saying that they were lovers either.

“It’s… just until I figure things out, okay?” Steve’s head craned down, the water from the shower dripping down his hair. “For now, let’s just enjoy this.” The murmur was barely overheard from the rush of the water, his lips already enclosing on the delicate skin near their clavicle.
