Ready Set Breathe (A Steve Rogers Destruction Story)

23 Peggy

It’s been said before. It’s impossible to un-love someone.

Not in an instant.

Not in a day.

Sometimes, not for two whole years.

Steve never wanted to un-love Peggy and deep inside him, he still didn’t want to because he was still mourning, but he knew it was something he had to do, like it or not. He had to move on.

Steve was in the habit of visiting Peggy often, even though she forgot him the moment he left. He just hated the thought of her sitting alone on a bed until her death because she had been his friend and she deserved so much better. He sent her flowers and cards he drew himself, he sat with her and talked until she was tired. He visited with Sharon sometimes, or, he used to, and just put forth a lot of effort to make sure Peggy was happy. But he still didn’t know how to get over her, how to be happy without her.

Then again, he didn’t know how to be happy regardless, so maybe the problem was bigger than just Peggy Carter.
