Sinking into the only couch in the dark apartment, I clutch the mug of coffee in my hands tighter as I remember the events of the day. Not only did I almost get... Well you know, I am now sitting on a customers couch that I met not even 24 hours ago.

"Thank you for being there to save us" I finally get the nerve to speak as the tall man sits on the chair besides me.

"It was nothing, always looking out for Steve, he's a trouble maker. All he does is try to prove himself, I just wish that one day he will see that he's already done so" He says, smiling thinking about him. This man is clearly close friends with Steve.

I glance into the hallway and I see the light still on in the bathroom, where Steve is. I turn to Bucky.

"May I ask, Steve, does he often go into other people's place of work and stay there for 2 hours until it closes?" I ask as I look at the mug in my hands.

It's quite for a second before I look up and I see the man smirking

"No, but I guess that's where he was all day, I was wondering where he had gotten to" I blush as I look at the mug again.

I take a sip and as soon as the dark roast coffee hits my lips, Bucky begins to talk.

"I noticed how he looked at you when he saw me turn up... He looked disappointed, he never does normally, he always just looks relieved. I guess he just wanted to show you he could do it himself" He says as I swallow my drinks and look at him

"What as in to-"

"Protect you, yes" He says

I blush even more crimson and he smirks

"You like him don't you, you like Steve" He smirks even wider

"What!" if I had coffee in my mouth at this point, I would have spat it everywhere by now "I do not, we met barely 6 hours ago" I say

"Calm down, doll, I didn't say that you loved him, that's a 48 hour realisation thing, I just said that you like him"

"I do not!" I try to protest again, but the man just grows an even bigger smirk on his face as I place down my coffee on the table.

"You don't what?" Steve says as he walks back into the room.

"Nothing" I say quickly and Bucky just smiles.

°°°°°

Over the next few weeks Steve comes into the diner more often and even Bucky comes in with him sometimes.

In the middle of wiping off one of the tables, I hear the door bell chime as someone walks in.

"Rebecca!" I say as i see her "How was school?" I ask.

She sighs as she places her bag in the seat next to her and she places her head on the counter.

"That bad, huh?" I ask as I see her

She raises her head as she looks at me

"That. Fucking. Bad" She says

"Oh, that must be bad."i say and she raises her eyebrow as I continue making her a chocolate milkshake

" You're not going to tell my brother about my 'language issue', are you, because Steve always does" She says and I look at her

"Well I'm not Steve and... I don't particularly want myself to be on your bad side after I heared about what you did to your brother Bucky" I say and she laughs, remembering it

"He had blue hair for a week" She laughs as I hand her her milkshake and she smiles as she takes a sip.

"Plus you're 16, it's almost time for you to leave high-school behind forever, come on you can practically be my sister now" I say.

"You're 24" She says as she raises an eyebrow at me

"Give or take, I'm practically 20" I say as i grab my notepad off the side and I go to take another tables orders as she raises her eyebrow and tilts her head at me

"What?" I say, smiling as I walk up to the customers table.

"Hi, I'm going to be your server today, what can I get you started with?" I ask the table and as they respond I see Bucky walk through the door and I smile.

"Will that be all for today... I'll get that right now for you" I finish as I walk back around the counter and I see Bucky talking to his sister

"Hey Buck, come to see me or Rebecca?" I ask, teasingly

"Always your pretty ass, doll" He says and I laugh

"Speaking of ass, is Steve here with you?" I ask and he shakes his head

"No, sorry, doll. He said he's off getting another physical to try to get into the army again" He says and I nod as he walks to the bathroom.

I get to making the tables order and I notice that Rebecca has been quite. I look up and I see her smirking at me

"What did you do?" I ask her

"Nothing, I just saw how your smile wavered at Steve not being here" She says and I roll my eyes as I make a milkshake

"Not you as well! Your brothers already obsessed with the idea" I tell her and she laughs

"Of cause the only time my brother and I agree is when you don't want us to" She says and I laugh as the door opens and Steve walks in as Bucky walks over.

"I'll be right back, I've got to give this table their order" I say as Steve talks to the other two

I give the table their drinks and when I walk over to the group they are silent and two of them look shocked.

"What happened?" I ask as I see the smiles wiped off their faces

"You might need to sit down, doll" Bucky says to me as I sit on one of the stools, apprehensivly.

"Steve?" I ask as he swallows, looking at me.

"I got in, Cassy" He says "I'm going to be in the army"

"WHAT?!"
