Steve sighed as he watched his bestfriend (and secret love of his life — but no one needed to know that), walk off into the night. He was getting shipped off to Europe soon. Steve smiled as he remembered all their most memorable moments together. Hanging out at the beach, sneaking into the theatres together, getting caught sneaking into said theatres, and that one day Bucky made Steve ride the Cyclone at Coney Island until he threw up. He chuckled and noticed Bucky was still there, smiling and staring at Steve with a fond look in his eyes. But this wasn't a 'hey you're my bestfriend and I'll miss you' kind of look — it was different somehow.

"Don't do anything stupid until I get back." Bucky still had his cocky smile, the one that made Steve's heart flutter. "How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you." he quietly trailed off at the end, you could hear the heartbreak in his voice. He was gonna lose him, his Bucky. Bucky just smiled and walked back to Steve, pulling him in for a hug. It was short but simple. When he pulled away Bucky slowly leaned in again and kissed him.

Wait what.

No way this is happening.

When finally he came back to earth, Bucky was still kissing him. It was soft and tender, and Steve thought he could stay in that moment forever. When Bucky pulled away he was beaming, Steve was smiling too.

"I promise I'll come back." he whispered, and Steve could hear it in Bucky's voice. He wanted to believe him. That Bucky would come back after the end of the war. That there was nothing to worry about.

"Jerk."

"Punk."

Steve felt a tear fall down his cheek, as he watched Bucky walk away.
