She knew his name, but he never knew hers.
That is, until the day she saved him from himself.

" Oh my God Melody, these burgers are so good." Bucky moaned.
" I know, right? They're made out of fresh horse meat." Melody replied.
Everybody stopped chewing and stared.
Then all at once, everyone spit out their food.
" Melody! I thought we were cool!" Sam said.
" I think I just threw up a little bit." Natasha wheezed.
" I thought you loved me, Mel." Bucky complained.
" I can't believe I thought it was good." Tony admitted.
Everybody was grossed out.
Finally, Melody couldn't keep it in any longer. She busted out laughing.
Steve and the rest of the team looked at her like she had two heads.
" I don't get it. What's so funny?" Peter questioned.
Melody looked around and sighed.
" Guys, I'm just kidding. I can't believe that you would think I would make you eat horse meat." She confessed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to gorge themselves.
" It's alligator." Melody revealed.
Nobody touched their food after that.

The team was all done and were busy chatting with each other.
Melody suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She knew she wasn't part of the Avengers but for that day, she felt unstoppable.
It was awesome to finally have some friends.
A tear rolled down her cheek.
Quickly wiping it away, she checked her face in her phone to make sure her eyes weren't red and puffy.
" Melody!" Steve called from behind her.
" Hey Steve." She told him when he appeared next to her.
Both of them were silent, not knowing what to say.
That's when Steve took a chance.

" Melody, when I first saw you" He confessed, " You reminded me of a woman I loved long ago. I loved her because she was so independent, free spirited. And that's who you reminded me of. You always.. blah blah blah."
Melody wasn't really paying attention to all the things Steve was saying. It was sweet but, she was more focused on kissing him. Just like in the romantic movies she saw every so often.
" Steve." She said.
" ... a lot like her..." Steve continued.
" Steve." She repeated.
"... everybody before yourself..."
" STEVE!" Melody shouted.
" Yeah?" He questioned.
" Shut up and kiss me." She whispered.
Steve had no objection there. He was a gentleman but, he knew when to not question a woman.
At that moment they knew they would be there for each other, 'till the end of the line.
