O - Optimistic

She was busy running down the sidewalk. She barely cared if she ever slipped. She was sure she would catch herself up on the frozen floor. Bucky stared at her hips while she was running down the sidewalk. He followed after her being a little careful. The two were now at the park. Bucky set the food down and the beer pack. She was sitting down beside Bucky reaching for a beer. 

She popped open the cap and swallowed a gulp of it drinking it hastily. She sure was thirsty. He reached for one himself popping the cap open with his metal arm and took a huge swig of the beer bottle. He breathed out a sigh. "That was good. sure is good to take a swig in the afternoon especially if it's freezing cold."He said. She let out a giggle nodding. "Clearly it's the best."She said. "And um, thanks for the hoodie, Bucky.."She looked down, shyly unable to look up at his bright ocean blue eyes. She sat comfortably in criss-crossed position watching the big hoodie cover her legs. Bucky gave a small friendly smile. "You're welcome, you need it."

She reached in the bag of food taking out a churro. She handed him one. "Eat up?"She smiled softly looking up at him in his blue eyes. He nodded grabbing one gobbling it all down in two big bites. She gasped looking at him shaking his head. "You're supposed to savor it, Bucky! It's a delicious sweet treat that's also from the oven. you shouldn't be swallowing it down. It's nature's best source of sweetness!!"She exaggerated. Bucky saw some admiration in her eyes when she spoke about Churros. He chuckled reminding himself to buy her a ton of churros in her birthday. "Just call me James."He gave another sweet small smile. 

She froze. "James...you're name doesn't fit your outfit. I'll call you Bucky instead!"She said. She took a sip of her beer and laid her head against his shoulder. "I wonder what time it is.."She whispered to herself. There was barely anybody at the park due to the cold weather. Bucky looked at her. Her light brown eyes matching with her ash-colored hair. She truly was a beauty in his eyes. His cheeks turned red just thinking 'bout her that he shook his head causing her to get a little bit nudged by his shoulder. 

She took it the wrong way and moved a bit farther away from him so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable. She continued to eat her churro in silence when Bucky couldn't handle the silence. Bucky grabbed a hot dog and began to savor the corn-dog by taking medium sized bites. "So, why didn't you follow Natasha and Steve? I thought you were close with Natasha."He spoke. It looked like she was a dog being yelled at by their owner. 

She looked sad. "I just don't like to hang out much with Nat. She is nice but I don't trust people that easily. They may be my friend for 2 months but I need to see if I can really do trust them. Plus, I'm sure Natasha would probably be too optimistic and talk about boys. I like it but it's just too much for me to handle due to my past memories in Italy.."She confessed. 

Bucky froze. "Wait, you lived in Italy? I thought you were born here on American Soil.."She shook her head. "Not entirely. I was born and raised in Italy. After the age of 16, I was adopted by Tony. Tony saw me on the streets stealing some cash from people. I only took a dollar because I wanted to eat a churro. I guess that's the only food I've eaten for those 6 years."She let out a shaky breath. She felt a twinge of pain from remembering her past. 

"6 years? where were your parents?"She looked at him giving him a faint smile. "They..kicked me out, I guess."She whispered. He felt a little guilty. He didn't mean to ask her a question about her past. "Never mind, let's just drop the topic. Um, do you like roses?"He asked. She shook her head. "Roses aren't very pretty in my opinion. White lilies are very pretty in Italy especially in winter. I always see it wherever I go. It was just a nice flower to look at whenever I'm feeling down."She gave Bucky a bright smile. 

'Take note, James. Churros are her favorite food and White lilies are her favorite flowers.'He thought to himself smiling a little brighter. She looked at him confused. "You okay, you just smiled brightly. This sure is a first."She let out a little giggle. Bucky shakes his head. "Sorry, I just wanted to refresh my memory of the past."He lied. She sat a little close to him and laid her head on his shoulder once more. She chugged down the beer and placed it in the same box. 

"Let's play truth or dare?"She asked. Bucky shook his head. "I'd rather not, that game is somewhat boring. let's just do 20 questions."She grabbed a corn-dog eating it humming in satisfaction by the taste. She grabbed another beer bottle and turned to him. "Can you open it?"She smiled brightly. He opened it and gave it to her seeing her chug it down again. It was just 2/3 done. She thinks, "What's your favorite movie?"He thinks. "I'm not sure about that. There are many great movies out there. I'll just say... Destroyer."He said. 

She nods. The entire 3 hours they chatted about life and their interests. It sure made them grow closer. Her phone began to ring. She picked it up hearing Tony's voice. "Hey kiddo, go home. It's like 6 pm already. you need to get ready for the goodbye party. i'll go and pick you up now. where are you now, Ashella?"She looked over at Bucky. "You don't have to pick me up. I'm strong, Tony. just stay at home, they probably need you. I'll be there later on. Don't worry 'bout me!! I love you, bye!!"She began to hang up. "Ashella, you better not hang u-"She hung up. 

She shut off her phone and looked at Bucky. "Let's go on a trip? I have a place where we can train! I'm sure you're stronger but I don't care. The better help the stronger I become!"She smiled. Bucky thought about her idea. "You sure about that? Tony will kill me if he found out I was with you and didn't return you home."He said. She shook her head. "I don't care about him. as usual, I don't believe in whatever he says. now, let's go!"She stood up finishing the last beer bottle. It was a surprise she didn't fall on her face. 

Bucky gave her a water bottle to drink and walked with her to the forest. He made sure she was safe and that she didn't injure herself. She sure was pretty optimistic. her whole personality brightened the whole snowy cold weather. He bit his lip shaking his head. 'No way am I gonna fall for Ashella..'He thought. She took his hand and walked with her down the pathway smiling brightly at him making him feel warm inside. So, rather than being the Winter Solider, He was the Summer Soldier due to her smile.
