Steve Rogers, Essie Miller and Bucky Barnes were inseparable as kids.
From the moment they met, the trio always hung around each other.
They were there when her father lost his job when the Depression hit.
They were there when his mother fell ill and succumbed to her sickness, and went to the funeral.
And he was there, standing by his best friend with a proud smile as two said their vows.
In his words, it was about damn time.
Over the years, Bucky had seen love blooming between Steve and Essie, though they were seemingly blind to it; until they weren't.
He nervously asked her out and she accepted.
Steve Rogers was her Mr. Darcy and she was his Elizabeth Bennet some say, though without the fight for love.
She supported him in his efforts to fight, though she didn't always approve. But she knew she had married a man determined to serve his country on the front lines, and he would do whatever it took to get there.
The end of the war couldn't come soon enough, but not all would be there to see it.
And that was a fate neither knew.
