Bucky and I had finished getting ready for the day. We were both sitting in the living room, waiting for steve to show up. 

"Your not going to cover those up? The hickies." Bucky asked 

"No, do you want me to?" I asked

"Uhm No. I was just asking" He said

"Why were you asking?" I asked 

"Because, most of the time people cover them up." He explained 

"I could cover them up, if you'd like" I said 

"No that's okay. I like that your not ashamed of them" he said 

"Why would I be ashamed of them?" I asked

"I really don't know, to be honest." He said, Buck and I had waited a while until Steve showed up, it was 6 pm. We waited for quite a while. Bucky had answered the door, Steve and someone else came in, he was tall and had pale skin, and blue eyes with black hair. He was very handsome

"Took you long enough" Buck said sarcastically, hugging Steve 

"Sorry, i was in quite the chat with this guy" Steve said, the guy waved his hand stiffly. Steve handed me a box of candy canes 

"Thanks, i was thinking of buying these yesterday" I said, i went to the kitchen to put the box away and came back. 

"Alex, this is Rosie, my little sister. And this is Bucky" Steve said

"Hi, I'm Alex" He said, shaking Bucks hand, he shook mine after 

"How do you know Steve?" Bucky asked 

"We met a few months ago, this guy's pretty funny" Steve explained 

"How do you know Steve?" Alex asked 

"Quite a while ago, actually. It's a long story" Bucky said 

"And you, Rosie? How do you know Bucky?" Steve asked, trying to start a conversation 

"About the same way Steve did, long story. But maybe some day we'll figure out a way to explain everything. Bucky and I are dating, however" I explained

"I wish I had a story that went way farther than my story with my friends. I met most of them in Highschool." Alex explained 

"What year did you graduate?" Bucky asked 

"Im usually not good with memory, but I'm 21 now." Alex said 

"Oh wow, your quite young" I said, Alex looked at everyone in curiosity 

"Well I know Steve is older than me but how old are you guys?" Alex asked, looking at Bucky and I 

"Im 20" I said

"Rosie and I are 3 years apart, Steve and I are 1 year apart but it's kind of hard to explain." Bucky said, he was right. Before Thanos came to earth Steve found me and thawed me, but he was thawed much longer than me so he was older but we were only 2 years apart, if that makes sense.
