[US Team + Avengers] The hero is the US team

"Look babe! He looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooer up, don't you?"

"That's right, Lier, he will definitely be your favorite."

It was James Barnes who was passing by who received such an evaluation. He glanced at the two modern girls who were talking about him coquettishly, and subconsciously showed a handsome smile to them—the answer he got was two A warm wink and a kiss.

And the small, thin, blond man beside him seemed completely ignored.

Barnes came back to his senses: "..."

Well, this is the norm.Steve is used to it too.

----

...so, this is the norm.Steve is used to it too.

At the lively Expo tomorrow, Barnes brought two female companions specially for Steve.And the two affectionate girls didn't seem to see Steve, they were arm in arm chattering together, but all their attention was on handsome Sergeant Barnes.

Steve on the side listened to their discussion silently, received the apologetic expression from his friend, and enjoyed the technological product exhibition of the expo leisurely.

To tell the truth, he had begun to make himself less bothered by others' cold reception.Perhaps in the old days—his not so long ago as a teenager—he would have understood that other people were not wrong, but still could not be at peace with not paying attention.So he'd tried to make friends with other people -- people other than Bucky -- as well.But now, he already feels better.Boys in wartime always matured faster, and apart from that, it was also thanks to that friend who had begun to learn to be calm about the cold reception he received.

——"Until your spiritual world is perfect enough, when you are yourself, your spirit can serve as a support that will never collapse." That friend, his only female friend, one of his growing up partners, Lu Seaa Ryan said so.

In the rambling conversation at that time, for some reason he remembered this sentence.Until now, he still thinks of this sentence from time to time.

While Bucky was dealing with the two girls, he glanced at Steve, who was slightly lost in thought, from time to time.To be honest, when he brought the two female companions, he did not realize that such a situation would arise.He just wanted Steve to meet other girls - girls other than his first love in middle school...

----

It was an ordinary chat between James Barnes and his buddies.What makes it special is that Steve has a rare drink.His drunk behavior made Bucky resolve not to mention Lucia again - in fact, that was the last time they talked on this topic.

"She, um—will she come back?" Bucky smiled maliciously. "She" he didn't say, but Steve obviously knew whose code name it was, and between the two of them, "she" was a name for a certain person-obviously, this was not the first time they talked about it "She" was.

Steve lowered his eyelashes: "I wrote her a letter. . . . um, but no reply. Maybe that's how it is, and it's all over, the way things always are--no fuss The end of it, right?" Steve doesn't drink much, but who knows how much he can drink?He seemed really a little drunk, so that he seemed a little melancholy.This is not his usual state.

Bucky hit him on the shoulder with his fist—very lightly: "I didn't expect you to still be like this in your heart...you know that you usually don't care at all, bro. Um...it seems that "first love girl" is not Best topic, huh? (he tries to be joking) - I have to ask, what kind of medicine did that "silent girl" put you on? I gotta say, she was always staring at Looks a little crazy looking into other people's eyes... or do you just like black-haired, black-eyed girls?"

I don't know if it was because he quoted Lucia's nickname in high school, or because he made an unreasonable guess, Steve was quoted and laughed: "Isn't it because I seemed to need a female partner to compete with you?" The—I mean—girls? To prevent me from getting into a fight with you because of my imbalance."

Barnes curled his lips: "Come on. A good boy who blushes when he sees a girl?" After saying that, he grinned first.

Steve grinned at him too, eyebrows furrowed in a half-smile look.

His gaze rests casually on the cup in front of him.The smile on Steve's mouth slowly disappeared.He was puzzled, "Bucky...if it's just being together, is it considered first love?"

He whispered, not knowing who to listen to: "To be honest, I can't even remember what Lucy looked like."

The most I can do with Lucia is chat.There were times when Bucky wasn't there and they had a chance to be alone.What he can still remember is the soft feeling of the peaceful wind blowing on his face when he walked side by side with her, the rustling sound of privet leaves, her wonderful ability, and the moment when she looked into her eyes. a feeling of.

In fact, when the two of them got along, he still talked more.

What did he say then?Sometimes it's interesting things I found on campus, sometimes it's memories with Bucky, sometimes it's some wild issues he's thinking about.Some of his thoughts became clear only when he said them, and this was also because Lucia liked to hear him say those irrelevant things.

Lucy said she could hear the music of all things, so what was it like?He can't imagine.But when Lucy shared with him the dynamics of the surrounding flowers and plants and the mood of the teacher, it was quite an interesting experience...

Barnes looks at Steve's slightly melancholy pink cheeks, and he seems to be lost again.Bucky felt that something was wrong, so he brought up a new topic casually, and finally made him laugh...

----

To the surprise of Barnes, who was watching the exhibition at this time, Steve seized the opportunity to join the army just after being separated at the Expo.

What surprised Steve was that, unlike the previous four failures, this time, he got a chance.

"It's just an opportunity," Dr. Erkins said.

But no matter what, Steve is still happy that he can become a soldier.He didn't want to kill anyone, but he felt it was his duty to stop the bullies - at least he had to do something for peace.Although he doesn't have enough power, he still carries his sense of responsibility.

Coming out of the conscription office, what made Steve Rogers amazed again at this time was—was something extraordinary destined to happen today?He heard a somewhat familiar, sweet female voice behind him: "Steve?"

The moment he heard this voice, his pupils dilated—the memory brought him back to the past a few years ago in an instant.Even though the voice has changed a bit, he can't mistake it—that immature face with a bright smile, the wonderful ability, the wind and the rattling privet...

Steve Rogers turned his head slowly, his eyes widened slightly for a moment - he saw a slim girl walking towards him - no, he suddenly realized that she could not be equal to the girl in his memory now ... The facial features have lost their immature girlishness, the once round eyes have softened, and the lines of the arms have become round and graceful, but there are still two small dimples on the cheeks filled with a ray of smile - it turns out that he still Remember so many things about her.

At this moment, her white dress under the light was dyed a layer of warm yellow, her black eyebrows and eyes were distinct, her eyelashes were raised, a posture that could be described as beautiful and moving—for a moment, he felt that everything around him was gone, The music, conversations, and footsteps around me have all died down, so why doesn't everything smell anymore? ... In the whole world, there is only one her with black hair and white skirt.

She parted her lips...what was she saying?

"We'll see each other again. I promise," she said.

...No, what she said was, "It's a pleasure to meet you here, my friend. The Expo is fun, isn't it?"

The human voice sounded again, the lights gave the building a new color, and the air began to flow again from this moment-it smelled of dust, and the world returned to normal.

Steve swallowed first, feeling dizzy and palpitating again.Because of the ups and downs in his heart, he showed a dull expression on his face.

Lucia stood not far from him, looked at him with a smile on her face, and said nothing—but she didn't look for his eyes.

After what seemed like a little while, and what seemed like a long time, Steve finally felt he could make a sound, tried to smile, and said evenly and briskly, "Hi Lucy, welcome back."

In reply, Lucia stepped forward and shook Steve's hand.

----

Lucia and Steve walked together on the moonlit street. Compared with the pedestrians around them, they walked at a slower pace, and neither of them spoke.

It's so quiet around here... What is Steve thinking?There was some shoulder distance between the two of them, and Lucia couldn't see the look on Steve's face.First she tried to speak briskly like she used to: "I was in Spain for a year... well, where we live there are always a lot of guests, and my uncle likes to make friends. They come from many countries... and Americans, of course. See I think of you when I see them, Steve, but I haven't seen one with eyes as blue as yours (she smiled). Then I went to Germany with my uncle. Well, in Germany I met A very good music teacher, and I bet my musical skills are improving by leaps and bounds...he often compliments my talent too. Overall, I'm fine...how about you Steve?" She tugged at the long hair.

Steve spoke calmly, as if he wasn't nervous, and he even made a joke: "Under the guidance of my doctor, my body can barely function, and after that, sweets are my enemy." He Added: "For God's sake, it will also support me to complete the draft test."

Lucia: "Did you join the army?"

Steve: "Well, after all the hard work... Honestly thanks to Dr. Erkins."

The atmosphere seemed less awkward, and Lucia tried to shorten the distance with him a little.

Steve offered, "How's your uncle?"

Lucia was silent for a moment before answering: "He passed away."

Steve shut his mouth immediately.

The distance between the two widened again.

After a while, Lucia seemed to be unaffected and said: "It's nothing, it's all over. (She looked at him) Steve, you know, I wrote you a lot of letters...but you can't read it anymore——Leave I was so busy at the time that I forgot all about being in Germany."

Steve whispered, "I did too."

Lucia didn't hear what he said, she seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. ... At night, it seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

After a while, she said softly, "Steve, long time no see, do you still remember my wonderful little ability?" She stopped, and there was an arm's length between them.

Lucia felt no resistance or negative emotions, so she took a step forward.She felt her emotions silently, and took another step forward with certainty. The distance between the two of them was now only half a step away.Steve is a little taller than Lucia, but that's okay—

Steve felt those dark eyes staring at him, and for a moment he seemed unable to move.Immediately afterwards, a warm and soft hand pressed against his cheek, helping him to look down, into those two black mercury-like pupils, he held his breath involuntarily, because there was a slight pressure in his heart. Pasted a gentle hand.

Does moonlight also have temperature? ...why is it so gentle?

I don't know if it's because of the joy of reunion after a long absence or something, the cheek under the palm is as hot as a burning flame, and the heartbeat of the other party is also extraordinary, as violent as an engine.

She said softly, "Did I tell you, Steve, you have beautiful eyes. I always feel peace when I look at them. . . . How nice your heart is after days apart Stronger. While I'm not sentimental about the parting, I have to regret that I wasn't with you all the time, my friend."

Lucia let go of her hand, stood and felt her current emotions carefully. It was strange—it was hard for her to feel such a peaceful mood since her uncle passed away.She sincerely—chest and belly—hugged the person across the way, regardless of the lack of response: "I missed you. Once again—nice to meet you, Steve."

----

The first thing Steve does when he gets back to the house is to stop his heart from beating like a heart attack—god, it's beating too fast.

After a while, he found that his mind was full of Lucia, and for some reason he had dug out the bookmark that Lucia had given him, which was still in the old poetry book, and put it together with his picture album. Now it lies in his hand.

He gently closed his palms, feeling the veins and veins of the leaf burning hot in his palm.Unknowingly, Steve has raised a smile.

Night, why is it so quiet?Moonlight, why is it so bright?He flipped through his picture album and couldn't help laughing again.
