Waking up feeling like shit, Steve stood from his bed, sighing at the long day ahead of him. He relieved that he didn't change last night. He fell out cooled on his bed. He scowled himself for doing such a thing.

He went to the showers, trying not to make much noise as he did so. After taking his shower, he feels much better now that he is clean. He headed out to fix the nightmare. The tank.

He opened the door, which let him encounter the outside. He toke in how slient it was. He toke a deep breath, calming his of stress. He smiled to himself and quickly made his way to the tank. He saw a figure on top of the tank. He couldn't tell who it was, tho.

The closer he got, the more he saw who it was. It was the Captain. Steve stopped in his tracks and side a little bit. Knowing that he still had to fix the tank.

"Captain." Steve's voice got his attention. He turned his head to look at Steve. " Beautiful morning, isn't it?"

Steve looked up to see the sky was mixed with pink and orange and white as well. Steve smiled. " It is."

Steve stared so long that he didn't notice that the Captain was smiling at him. Steve face had the face of a kid that found the toy they wanted. The Captain thought it was cute.

Steve exited the trance he was held in and remained himself that the tank needed to be fixed. He had left the tools next to the tank so he wouldn't have to find them. He got on his back and scooted himself under the tank.

It was slient for a good to minutes, and the Captain began to talk. "Why'd you get up so early, were your balls cold."

 Steve sighed. "One, I had to fix the tank, and TWO, my balls were just fine." The Captain laughed at the annoyance in Steve's voice.

"John." Steve looked up with a confused look. Not that the Captain could see it, but he knew he was confused.

"My name is John, and that's what you'll be calling me for now on." He continued. He smiled a bit and looked down at Steve.

"Cap- I mean John, why tell me this?" He said, still confused. "I told you because I trust you."

Steve's face turned a little red at the words. He looked down so that John couldn't  see. He trusted him, but....why.

"Why do you trust me, I've done nothing for you to do so."

"Nothing? You've done a lot. You never leave a man behind. You don't give in, no matter what situation you're in. You work hard, and you're ready to take a hit for someone. You call that nothing. You-"

"ENOUGH!" Steve's face was red. He looked like a tomato. John thought this was cute.

"What's wrong? You don't like being flattered and pampered." John jumped from the tank and landed in front of Steve.

They were a few feet away from each other. This lasted for a couple of minut until l they heard other military recruits.

"Welp, see you lat, r Steve." Steve watched as he walked away.
