Brooklyn, New York, 1940.

James “Bucky” Barnes and Steve Rogers had been your best friends since you could remember. You and Bucky were the out-going partiers and Steve was the one who didn’t want to get left behind. It showed as you grew into young adulthood, always labeled as a flirt and vixen. And yet, all these parties you threw, they were all for Steve. All for his attention.

One night, the usual Friday night party at your house was in full swing. But all you could do was look for Steve. Bucky hadn’t seen him around, and you decided not to question him further, as he was busier with the girl on his arm. You weave through the crowd of dancers and minglers, hoping and hoping he showed.

And that’s when you saw him by the front door, hands in his pockets, a small smile on his face.

“Hey, toots.”
