If Steve said this sentence when Joey confessed, Joey felt that he would have to run a dozen laps around the playground to calm down.

If this sentence had been uttered by Joey during the plane crash, Joey thought he would have hugged each other fiercely on the deck regardless of anything, and immediately told Tony that he had a lover.

Even, if this sentence had been uttered before seeing that scene in the mall, Joey would have given the same answer.

—Of course he would.

Who would refuse this sentence when asked by someone he likes?At that time, although Joey was a little shaken, he still had hope. He thought that maybe Steve would still like him, and maybe one day he and Steve would be able to be together.

Sometimes, thoughts and feelings are very wonderful, just like Joey is always insensitive to ambiguity, so he inadvertently missed a lot of good feelings, and even broke his possible peach blossoms unconsciously, but he happened to be in When I saw Steve for the first time, I had a feeling of heartbeat and found that I fell in love with this man.

This kind of feeling can be said to be fragile and also very fragile, and it can be said to be firm and firm, it all depends on the situation.

If, after Joey confessed, Steve didn't refuse, or even gave him the possibility to pursue him, Joey's love for Steve would become more determined, but Steve refused.

Not only did he refuse, but he also told Joey that we are friends, and he said this more than once. No matter how much Joey comforted himself at the time, it left him with the impression that Steve was indeed right. He has no feelings for that.

If it is said that the characteristics of a young man make him full of enthusiasm for liking someone, then similarly, the blow from the lover is the most capable of destroying this enthusiasm.In love, Joey is not a person with low self-esteem, and he is not interested in the kind of practice that is desperate for love, abandoning all compromises just to be able to stay by the other party's side.

Joey has no interest in being the affectionate male counterpart in the novel.

So even though he realized that he still has a heart for Steve, he is indeed slowly restraining himself. If this kind of thinking was not firm enough at the beginning, then when he saw that scene in the mall, he would really realize it. It's time to give up.

feeling bad.

Although Steve rejected him at the beginning, this was indeed Joey's first love, and it meant something different to him after all.

It was probably at this time that Joey’s thoughts really changed. He began to feel that it’s good to have a simple relationship with Steve as friends. After the initial discomfort, the sky was still blue , the ground has not collapsed, and it is actually not very different from before.

As a result, Steve told him, I have feelings for you.

Joey's thoughts at the time were ignorance, and then anger, because he thought Steve wanted to be in two boats, and this complicated and entangled emotion made him want to talk to someone, so he found his good friend Peter, After saying it, Joey really got better, and he also figured out that maybe he misunderstood at that time.

But at this time, Joey began to feel that things like feelings might not be suitable for him, probably because his thoughts had changed before that. After knowing that Steve might like him, Joey found that he was not very happy .

He just felt that, at least for the time being, he didn't want to be in a relationship anymore.

It would be more interesting to study the steel suit with his uncle, Joey thought at the time.

Then, he was confessed by his good friend Peter.

Afterwards, Joey actually couldn’t figure out why no one liked him when he wanted to fall in love—of course, Joey never realized that a big reason for this came from himself—when he decided When I was a happy single dog, a confession came out in two bursts.

Joey:? ? ?

Are you sure you're not joking with him? The world?

So, at this moment, in the cafe, after Steve finished speaking, Joey raised his eyebrows subconsciously, his hands were on the glass table, his body was straight, and his black eyes were fixed on Steve. husband.

"Steve."

Joey pronounced his name, he tilted his head, his tone was very calm, and there was no joy, "I think, as you said, it's better for us to be friends."

Steve froze.

"I don't have the idea of ​​falling in love now." Joey said.

"..." Steve came back to his senses, he pursed his lips tightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his blue eyes. Although his mood became depressed because of this answer, he was an adult after all, and he had experienced a lot things, so he can still maintain the kind of calmness that belongs to the elders.

He whispered, "I see."

The two were silent for a while, and then gradually began to chat again, talking about some things in life, but after all, they had just experienced that kind of topic, so the atmosphere was still a bit different, probably because of this, they did not It didn't take long for this meeting to end.

When the two of them reached the door, Steve stretched out his hand and opened the glass door, and waited sideways for Joey to walk out, before he stepped out and let go of the glass door handle he was holding.

The glass door swayed slightly behind them. Steve did not say goodbye to Joey immediately, but sent him to the traffic light. He stood beside Joey, thinking about what the boy said in the cafe just now, his eyes were a little sad .

The green light is on.

"Goodbye." Joey turned his head and said to Steve, but found that Steve seemed to be distracted. After thinking about it, he still didn't say it again, and started to walk across the road.

Steve's fingers dangling by his side moved.

Everyone knows that Captain America is a stable person. Maybe he was a little reckless at the beginning, but after he experienced more and more things, his responsibilities as captain made him more calm and calm. It happens by allowing emotions to control the behavior of your brain.

But that doesn't mean it won't happen.

He is Captain America and a superhero, but he is still human, and as long as he is human, there will be times when emotion exceeds reason.

So as soon as Joey stepped onto the sidewalk, he was caught.

Joey turned his head reflexively, his eyes widened slightly, he watched Steve grab his wrist, and then couldn't help but look up at this handsome man.

"Steve?"

Steve himself didn't expect him to do such a thing. When he met Joey's gaze, his mind went blank, and he blurted out, "Sorry!"

But even though he said that, he never let go of his hand.

Joey struggled, but didn't break free. He looked at Steve suspiciously, but the other party didn't speak, just looked at him like that.

It's impossible to keep this situation forever, Joey thought, so he had to say helplessly, "Is there anything else?"

"I..." Steve's lips twitched. He felt that he had to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Just now, he really didn't know where the impulse came from that made him do the thing of holding Joey. A little helplessness finally appeared on his face, but the hand holding Joey became tighter and tighter.

Joey didn't understand why Steve showed such an expression, but he didn't urge him after all.

This attitude finally made Steve less tense, and his language ability finally returned to his body along with his rationality. He first let go of his hand, "Sorry."

Joey shook his head and asked again, "Did you hold me back just now?"

Steve seemed to have regained his composure, and once again revealed a daze. He obviously did something, but it turned out that he didn’t understand it better than Joey. This made Joey a little dumbfounded. He suddenly discovered that this In his mind, he was always the kind of calm and reassuring Steve, and he also showed such immaturity.

"Actually, I really want to wait for you to remember what you just said to me. I'm really curious," Joey shrugged, probably because he found that Steve looked different from before, and Joey felt that his face It seems to be a lot more natural to Steve, and even when he said this, there was a hint of a smile in his tone, "But I think, maybe I will be late for class before your answer .”

Steve's body froze, and there was a hint of apology in his blank eyes, "I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's nothing, at least I'm not late yet." Joey smiled.

This time Steve didn't grab him anymore, but he just stood there, watching Joey walk to the opposite side, watching his back disappear into the crowd, and after a while, he lowered his head in a sense of regret , looking at the hand that grabbed Joey before him.

"Ding-dong-"

When the Twitter notification sounded, Steve took out his phone without much energy, clicked on it and glanced at it. His originally casual gaze changed when he saw the private message ID.

[QY: In addition to calling you Steve, can I still call you cap? It feels so cool]

The man with blond hair and blue eyes stood beside the traffic light, and against the background of the thickly dressed pedestrians around him, he showed his tall and straight figure. He had a handsome face and a slender and strong hand holding a mobile phone, especially when he looked at When looking at the mobile phone screen, the gentle curvature of the slightly curved lips made all the passers-by who saw this smile have the same idea:

This handsome man should be sending sweet messages to his lover.

Captain America, whose confession was rejected, didn't know what the people around him thought, even if he knew, he could only sigh.

Imagination is always better than reality.

- [The Star-Spangled Banner: OK]

When Joey returned to school, he looked more relaxed than before going out. He felt that he and Steve had made it clear that he and Steve would really be friends from now on.

This idea made Joey feel uncomfortable just a few days ago, but it really took a moment to change his mind. For example, Joey, who has decided to be single now, now feels that being friends is indeed better than being a lover.

At least he doesn't have to struggle anymore, at least he doesn't have to think about—

wrong.

Joey paused, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, took a deep breath, and thought of someone.

……

"So you didn't promise him, did you?"

Joey: "...Did you catch the wrong point, Peter?"

"No, I don't think I caught it wrong at all," Peter said seriously, "In fact, when you left school, I was very nervous, and I thought you would tell me when you came back that you were no longer single. "

He raised his hand and patted his chest, heaved an exaggerated sigh of relief, and wiped away the sweat that didn't exist, "Fortunately, it's not such bad news."

"Peter!" Joey yelled at him heavily, rubbing his temples, he felt a bit of a headache, "I'm telling you this seriously, I don't want to fall in love right now."

"I know." Peter nodded.

"so--"

"Joe," Peter called his name, he propped his jaw, looked at Joey with blinking eyes, and said this sentence in a very natural tone:

"I just want to be nice to you."

His gaze was so sincere that no one could be hardened upon seeing this gaze.

Joey was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Peter..."

He stretched out his hand, and under Peter's expectant gaze, flicked his forehead with his fingers, and said angrily, "Where did you learn this trick?"

"Did it fail?" Peter raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, muttering with puffed cheeks, "That fellow Abel clearly said that this trick worked."

"It's very useful," Joey said blankly, "If I were a girl."

He was very familiar with Peter, so when he saw his expression just now, he realized that something was wrong. This guy Peter would never say such a thing. I think Peter's more likely reaction would be—

"It's okay, you're single, I'll pursue mine!" Peter happily made this decision.

That's right, that's it.

Joey glanced at him, picked up a piece of fried chicken in the bowl with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, blocking his words: "Shut up, Peter."

He and Peter met for the first time on the day when Joey was reborn, and they escaped from human traffickers together when they were camping. Since they became friends, their relationship has been very good, especially when they have experienced the crisis of life and death, Joey I think he and Peter will be friends for life.

Of course, now Peter told him not only to be good friends, but also to be with you.

Joey feels a headache when he thinks about this, but he will not break up with Peter because of this, or even alienate him. All he can do is probably reiterate again and again that he only wants to be single quietly at the moment.

After getting used to it, except for Peter saying some nasty things he learned from some TV series from time to time, Joey even felt that the relationship between him and Peter was not much different from the past.

Because he stayed up late last night to deal with the matters of the website, Joey became sleepy while talking, and unknowingly fell on the table, with his face slightly sideways and arms pressed, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The original voice suddenly fell silent.

Peter happened to be sitting on the right side of Joey's desk, which was the direction Joey was sleeping in. He propped his face and looked at Joey's sleeping face without blinking, but soon, he remembered something and tried not to Standing up after making a noise, he went to Joey's bed and picked up the blanket, hugged it and returned to Joey's side, and then covered him lightly.

This process did not disturb Joey at all.

After he finished this action, he finally noticed the gaze falling on him, and when he turned his head, he found that he was being stared at by Eduardo.

"You like him." Eduardo's voice was very soft. Like Peter, he didn't want to wake Joey up.

Peter raised his hand to touch the back of his head, and nodded without hesitation.
