Steve wasn't particularly fond of parties. He wasn't shy or quiet like Thor and James, but he wasn't loud like Carol or Maria either. He was somewhere in between, which he was fine with.

He passed by James, who was flirting with possibly one of Thor's cousins, while Sam was laughing at his attempts from afar, trying not to make himself too obvious. He was making himself obvious enough, because Steve could see James's clenched jaw from there. 

Peggy, of course, was talking to everyone in the room with her charming smile and genuine laugh.

Maria and Carol...making a club out of everywhere they went, were having a fantastic time pumping their fists and dancing to elevator music. Life of the party's one way to put it.

Sharon, Jane, and Wanda, practically fainting whenever a good-looking guy passed by them...They were too sweet for the lifestyle they all had. They went off into their own worlds so often that Steve almost wondered if they were trying to hide something dark.

Natasha...he didn't know who or where she was. One minute she was charming the crowd with Peggy, the next sitting quietly with Thor, the next partying with Carol and Maria. No one really knew her, not even Peggy, and they'd all known each other since the 9th grade. Despite that, he loved them all...crazy idiots.

Of course, this left Thor, who sat alone in the corner, as usual. Steve really felt for him. His parents, siblings, and a few childhood friends had all passed away recently, leaving Thor with his family's homes, money, and company. Even though it seemed like he had everything, he really had nothing. He was one of the only ones in the group that was close to his family. Steve decided to go sit with him.

"Hey, man." 

"Hi," Thor mumbled.

"Why are you sitting here, this is your party." Thor looked up at him.

"It's my party, I can cry if I want to," he deadpanned.

"Why are you upset, is what I'm asking."

"Do you really need me to answer that?"

"No...but...you hate parties, so why host one? Isn't that usually Carol's job?"

"I love parties, just not anymore."

"You at least going to try and let loose?"

"Yeah, like them?" he motioned towards the crazy group of party people in the middle of the room.

"Why do I try with you?"

"Why do you keep asking me obvious questions?

"I dunno." Steve sat down and watched the party. Thor sighed deeply.

"Steve, you ever want a girlfriend?"

"In general, but I'd want to pick my own...I mean, I have had a few...you know that...why?"

"I need to find someone to care about."

"You have us."

"Yeah, but you guys are assholes half of the time."

"I can't argue there...but I know what you mean. That'd be nice, wouldn't it..."

"A guy can dream," Thor breathed.

"Yep...oh shit we sound like them," Steve pointed to Jane, Sharon, and Wanda.

Thor snickered.
