It's Wednesday and Mj, Ned and Peter are in gym. Coach Wilson is absent so the sub is letting them play whatever but the trio is sitting in the corner of the bleachers, away from everyone else.
"Uncle Delmar won't be afraid to kick him out" Mj states because of course they were talking about Bucky. Peter won't admit it but he's a bit nervous to meet up with him. He has questions of his own and he knows Bucky does too.
"It probably won't be necessary" Peter assures but it seems like he's more assuring himself.
"If he's willing to meet up, he'll be civil" Ned nods encouragingly.
"We can hide out in the back if you want" Mj suggests.
"No it's ok. I think it'll go fine" Peter claims.
"Do you remember everything about him?" Ned questions.
"Yeah" Peter nods trailing off. "Parce said my parents only erased him and it wasn't as bad as what they did to him so everything came back easily."
The bell rings signaling the end of the school day. They have decathlon practice so Peter hopes it takes his mind off of the dreading conversation he'll be having later.
Practice ends at 5:30 and he's meeting Bucky at six. Despite his love for being late, he's planning on showing up early to get his nerves to disappear. Luckily Delmar's is too far away thanks to his alter ego.
The entire practice Peter was drifting in and out. He tried to focus on the questions being thrown at him but his mind was elsewhere, back in that bunker.
"Can you tell me a story?" Peter asks one night.
Bucky usually tells Peter stories and Peter loves hearing about them. His favorites are the stories Bucky shares from his adventures with Captain America and his sister.
He always wondered what life would be like to have a sibling and when Bucky tells those types of stories, he never has to wonder. He felt like Bucky became an older brother to him.
Then with the Captain America stories, they were all pretty funny. Peter of course knows who Captain America is so when Bucky shares that he used to be a skinny kid who couldn't fight Peter could only laugh. He loved the stories where the two got up to no good thanks to Steve and Bucky always managed to pull them out of it.
This story though is when Bucky was trying to set up Steve for a date. They were at a bodega and Steve wouldn't stop staring at a beautiful lady with long brown hair.
"What kind of sandwich did you get?" Peter wonders.
"You can never go wrong with a classic bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich" Bucky answers.
"That's your favorite?" Peter questions.
"Hmm well I also like a roast beef and cheese with lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a hero" Bucky responds.
"Mine is a number three at Delmar's Deli. My Uncle Ben and Aunt May took me there and it was really good. It's been awhile since I went. I like my sandwich with extra pickles though, smushed flat" Peter recalls.
"Maybe you can show me that place one day, I've never been" Bucky suggests.
"You'd go?" Peter lights up.
"Yeah, I want to see if their sandwich can match up to the sandwich I had in that story" Bucky nods.
"The roast beef one or classic?" Peter asks.
"Roast beef and not smushed like yours" Bucky jokes making Peter let out a small laugh.
"Can you tell me the rest of your story now?" Peter wonders.
