"Chris, you're going to love him." You told your best friend as the two of you made your way into the restaurant in downtown Boston. Recently, within the last few months, you started dating someone. Chris had been your best friend since the two of you were younger and you always valued his opinion more than anyone's, even your own family. Always, Chris had your best intentions at hand and was never afraid to give you his honest opinions.

Especially when it came to the guys you dated.

And it wasn't because secretly, Chris was in love with you.

He'd never admit that.

Chris did like a few of your boyfriends. There was one named Tyler who ultimately became his best friend. But you two broke it off due to a distance issue. Then there was Luke who Chris also enjoyed being around, but you broke that relationship off due to conflicting matters.

"I sure hope so, for your sake. Isn't this boyfriend number twelve?" He winked, nudging you as your mouth fell agape. Shoving him to the side, he wrapped an arm around you, smiling. "I'm kidding, don't worry. Six though, right?"

You rolled your eyes as the two of you made your way inside. The guy was named Ben and you two had met one weekend in Los Angeles. Little did either of you two know, you both stayed in Boston when California wasn't called to be your second home.

So you asked him if he would sit down and meet your best friend. Ben easily agreed and now here you were with Chris, strolling inside the small café that was nestled downtown. Chris opened the door for you and let you in first. You gazed around, seeing Ben's messy blonde hair and green eyes gazing down at his phone. Smiling, you pointed in his direction, alerting Chris that it was him.

"Ben!" You exclaimed, to which your boyfriend picked his head up. He smirked as you approached and stood up, side-hugging you which pissed Chris off almost immediately.

He was your boyfriend. Why not full-on hug you?

Strike one.

Strike two came when Ben didn't bother to extend his hand forward and shake Chris'.

Where were his manners?

Chris bit his lip as he sat down from across you two in the empty booth, your body instantly moving to sit beside Ben's. His hand draped lazily across your shoulder and Chris watched the two of you closely. He noted the messiness of Ben's hair, wondering if he didn't properly groom himself before attending this meeting, but he shook his head.

"So you're the guy she talks so much about?" Ben suddenly eyed Chris.

He nodded his head. "I met her in the early 2000s. We've been best friends ever since."

Ben chuckled. "Must be nice to befriend Captain America himself, right?" He chuckled as the waitress came over and took orders for drinks.

Chris pushed himself forward onto the table, his blue eyes scanning Ben's green ones, seeing that something wasn't right.
