Note: Steve and Natasha normal people, living a normal life (AU)

Steve adopted his one year old golden retriever from the local shelter with his girlfriend Sharon Carter who was now official ended her relationship with him. Well, they didn't adjust well together at all. They hoped that adopting a dog could help save their relationship.

But it ended anyway. The only problem was he was previously in love with her older sister, Peggy Carter before she died from car accident three years ago. Sharon helped him through the hard time and eventually ended up falling in love.

She moved out one month after they adopted 'Buster'. She took all her stuff and left Steve with his heartbreak. They were dating for almost two years, Steve thought as he sunk himself down on the couch in his living room. Buster jumped up to join him and rested its head on his laps and quietly whined.

"Yeah, I know it suck, buddy." He patted its head gently and drank his beer.

The door to his house busted open loudly and a tall black man walked in.

"Dude, it been a week! You didn't even show up at the museum. Your boss had been asking me about your absence. You better get yourself together before you get fired, Rogers." Sam yelled at his friend "Move on, bro!"

"I'm in a mood of doing nothing." Steve replied.

"You should take Buster for a run. It's getting fat." Sam noted "She's gone, Steve. You have to accept that"

"I know."

They were silenced for another minute when Steve decided to get up and stretch.

"I will take him for a run." Steve said and headed to change his clothed in his bedroom

He came down with a leash and hooked it with Buster's color. He hugged his dog lovingly before led the dog out of this house. Steve inhaled the air and began his run. They both jogged down the street of the neighborhood. Steve wasn't pay much attention of anything and he was surprised that he wasn't got hit by a car.

He noticed something red hair and small figure flew pass him but he didn't catch a glimpse of his/her face. But what caught his attention was his own dog, it stopped in its track and pulled him to stop too. Then Buster began to bark and run to the direction of their home.

"Wait, Buster! Stop!" Steve shouted but his dog didn't listen and ran quickly.

They almost reached their home when Buster decided to stop at the house next to them and began to bark loudly.

"Hey, calm down." Steve knelt down and rubbed his dog gently "Keep it down, Buster. You don't want to disturb the neighbor."

Buster swing his tail eagerly and looked at the house. Steve began to walk and the dog followed him.

"What?" Natasha shouted from the kitchen where saw was trying to prepare their food.

The redhead ran and joined her friend but it was too late and he was gone.

"You just missed one gorgeous man, Tash."

"Nah, I'm not interesting in dating right now." The redhead said "I just moved here for a month now and still not settle in."

"It takes time but at least you and I finally live in the same city again."

"Yeah, it was like a million year since high school."
