Sam walked into the party. It was huge and reminded him of Tony Starks old events. There was a bar, pool table and the room was filled with people.
People who wanted to shake his hand and talk to him.
Alex was in his element. People were congratulating him - for what, who knew - and trying to talk to him.
It was overwhelming.
Sam had chosen to wear the simplest suit he could and let Alex shine. It was his night.
Until Bucky walked in.
The doors swung open to reveal a limo? And Bucky. With a girl. He was dressed in all black and he looked...
Amazing.
Sam made his way over to Bucky. A small group of people had moved away from Alex to talk to Bucky already. Sam could see him shooting Bucky a dirty look. He hoped he hadn't developed a grudge.
At last Sam reached Bucky.
'Bucky! You look... Great!'
Bucky glanced over to Sam, barely looking at him. He half smiled and took the girls hand.
'Thanks'
Sam found himself glaring at her.
Bucky swept past Sam and walked over to the bar with his... Date.
Sam felt himself getting angry. He couldn't tell why.
What was wrong with him? It didn't matter if Bucky had a date or not.
It wasn't any of his business.
'Sam. Do you want a drink?'
Sam turned to Alex. He just wanted to go talk to Bucky now. Alex waited with a small smile that gradually disappeared as the silence extended.
'Sam?'
'Sure. Thanks' Sam spoke quietly, his mind on other things.Bucky had a girlfriend?
But what about Sam?
He looked across the room at him, sitting at the bar with her. She was smiling nervously as he talked to her. Then she laughed.
Ugh.
***
Bucky was having a great time. He could see the looks Sam was giving them from across the room. He looked jealous.
And Zemo had chosen a nice date for him. Her name was Olivia and she used to work for Zemo's family. She was chatty and sweet.
A perfect companion.
'James. The baron told me that we had to make... Samuel jealous'
She spoke with a light accent that Bucky couldn't quite place.
'Zemo. You can call him Zemo'
'But-'
'Zemo'
'Yes sir'Bucky sighed.
'Call me Bucky'
'OK Bucky. Would you like a drink?'Bucky looked at her, smirking. He leaned towards the bartender and ordered 2 drinks. She looked faintly surprised but smiled when he handed her her drink.
'So James... What is you and Samuel's relationship like?' She sipped her drink. Bucky thought for a second, tasting his drink.
