Y/N has always been seen as "Steve's rambunctious sister." However, she grew up, graduated, and moved to London to study abroad for 4 years and get her bachelor's degree. The girl that returns looks nothing like the teenager that left, but don't wor...
"Is she up?" Steve asked once Bucky was off the phone. A few people had already arrived and were mingling outside where the whole setup was.
"She is now," he nodded. Steve sent him a worried look. "Don't worry, she's up and around. She should be down before everyone gets here."
"I bought drinks," Sam shouted coming into the kitchen with the other guys. "I think your street and the next block are going to be full within the next 10 minutes. People keep pulling in."
"How many people did your mom invite?" Bucky asked.
"I don't know. She said she reached out to a lot of Y/N's closer old friends from high school and let some family friends know," Steve shrugged, grabbing a beer Sam had brought and popping it open.
"One, Y/N had a lot of friends in high school, so that number is far out there. Two, your family friends have big families last I checked," Bucky chuckled.
"Not everyone you invite shows up though," Steve shrugged, clearly becoming somewhat overwhelmed.
Bucky could tell it wasn't himself that he was overwhelmed for, but the women in his life that he was worried for. Sarah hadn't been in large groups in a while, and Y/N hadn't been home in 4 years.
"Hey, they're going to be fine. You're just worrying yourself," he patted Steve's back.
"I know, I know. It's just a lot after, well... Everything, for both of them."
"Don't worry about something that hasn't even become an issue yet," Sam said, reassuring him as well. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to mingle. Wanna join? These are your friends, not mine if I remember correctly."
"Yeah, yeah. Come on. I'll introduce you to some old family friends of mine," Steve nodded his head to the back door. "You coming?" he asked Bucky, not seeing him follow.
"I'll be out in a second. Beck wanted me to meet her up front to help her bring some things in," he waved them off.
"Ok, see you out there."
Bucky looked down at his phone and saw that Becca was less than a mile away. She should be there any second. He picked up a few strawberries and began eating them before he heard the creaking of wood coming from the entry a minute later.
New guest? Bec already?
He moved out of the corridor and saw that Y/N was coming down the stairs. Slow and careful not to trip in the slight heels she had on.
He took the few seconds that she hadn't noticed him to take her appearance in.
The dress she had picked out, was nothing like the ones that she had tucked in her closet. It was a colorful geometric type of way sundress. The top of the silk dress had a flowy extra piece of fabric to accent her cleavage in a modest way. Her hair was straightened like earlier but pinned half up, which was very different from her wild waves that sometimes acted like a lion's mane.
For just waking up maybe 15 minutes ago, she looked red carpet ready.
