Love You

6

September 30 1941
Desume was curled up in bed. Avoiding answering a single phone call. She didn't want to face the outside world.

It had been ten days since she's come to the fact that the couldn't lose another person she loved. So she sent a letter saying she was taking time off.

So now she was spending her time crying in bed. Fully understanding that she couldn't leave her room.

She couldn't face them. Not Bucky or Steve. Because both would leave her someday, and she would have nothing.

No one. Then she heard a knock on her door."Desume please answer the door im worried about you."

She felt her own sadness creep up on her. Grabbing her glasses she got up shakily out of bed. It was Steve.

She walked to the door and felt her own tears run down her face."I'm fine." She says sniffling. Steve sighed as he sat against the door.

"Can't you just tell me what's wrong? Desume leaned against the door."I don't want to see you." She says crying.

Steve felt his heart break."Why?" She felt her emotions overcome her."Your gonna leave me all alone and I don't want to see you go."

Steve felt selfish. Telling her how much he wanted to serve. Not taking her feelings into account. With him and Bucky gone she would be all alone.

"I promise I won't." He says getting up and leaning against the door. "Dont make promises you can't keep."

She says before opening the door and embracing him. The shorter man hugged her back. Then she took him inside and closed the door.

"You really are terrified." His says looking at her. She stood in a flowery night gown, hair messily clipped back and eyes red.

"Maybe we should call Buck." Steve says looking at her. He knew Bucky could let her let out her frustrations on him.

Lay on him. It broke has heart, but he had come to terms with it. He just needed to call Bucky so he could give her a shoulder to lean on.

Desume shook her head."I don't want him to worry." Steve sighed but nodded. He knew she was distraught and wouldn't disagree.

"Could you stay for dinner tonight?" She questioned fully knowing what she was going to do.

Steve nodded deciding it would cheer her up.

Steve sat full after the meal, glad he stayed and a little guilty he left Buck in their apartment alone. "Stevie?" She called.

He looked at her as she came from the bathroom much more put together."You everkissed a girl before?"

He turned read stuttering as he looked at her."W-why would you ask that?" She smiled. "I would love it if you kissed me Steve."

He looked at her feeling his own insecurity."You sure?" He asked not wanting to take advantage of a lady.

"Positive." She said with a smile. So she sat up a little straighter."Well then come over here."
