15

It was pretty late at night and Steve had decided to go for a beer, even though it would have no effect at all he still liked the idea of it feeling helpful.

He was in love with YN. He had been for a very long time, it was why he had trusted her to take his virginity but he never really understood how it would make him fall deeper.

As he sipped his beer and played with a few peanut shells Steve never realised the stool that pulled up beside him. Placing the glass on the bar he rubbed the back of his neck before turning his head to the side ever so slightly.

The bright eyed girl had a small sparkle to her blue orbs as she smiled at Steve.

"Hey, my names Debby." The girl responded as she held her hand out for Steve to shake. Nodding his head gently he shook Debby's hand before turning his attention back to the peanuts. "Bad day?"

Steve wasn't in the mood for conversation but he also felt rude ignoring the poor girl.

"Yeah, something like that." He answered before taking another sip of his beer. There was a moment of silence before he heard Debby sigh.

"Same here." Steve raised his brows before turning his attention to her slowly. "I'm a doctor. Cardio-thoracic. I uh.. I lost a patient today. I had been treating him for a while."

"I'm sorry." Steve turned his attention to Debby fully before ordering another beer. "Do you want one?"

"Yeah, actually that would be great thank you."

After a few hours of talking about each other and over many beers, Steve had found himself enjoying the company of Debby. He hasn't been able to fully open up about his bad day but talking to her had almost made him forget he'd had one at all.

"So why are you wallowing in pity sat in this dingy bar?" Debby questioned as she slowly moved closer to Steve. She was a little drunk but not enough to do anything stupid. Steve thought for a moment before clearing his throat.

"My friend is pregnant with my baby and I thought we'd be good together but she's completely uninterested in me." Steve blurted before he could stop himself. The look of surprise on Debby's face would had made him laugh if it hadn't made him cringe. "I promise I'm not a piece of shit."

Debby let out a small breathy laugh before shaking her head.

"Steve I don't know the ins and outs of your relationship with this girl or the story of how you ended up in this situation so I have no right to judge you for it." Debby responded and something in Steve's stomach fluttered.

A week later YN had been at the compound hoping to catch Steve to have a word about what happened but he hadn't been seen by anyone around.

She sat beside Nat on the couch with a cup of tea watching as Sam and Bucky played Wii sports, arguing as expected. Even though the laughing, the voices and the sounds around her were loud and almost deafening, YN couldn't rid Steve of her brain. The way he touched her, made love to her.. all for her to just toss it aside.

Was she really feeling like she could be in love with Steve?

The sound of different laughter pierced YNs ears. His laughter, his voice.

Pulling herself out of her daydream she turned her head into the direction which the sound came from, eyes full of happiness, until her eyes found a pair of unfamiliar ones.

"Hey everyone! Sorry to barge in with a complete stranger but I'd like for you all to meet Debby!" Steve announced as he motioned to the red head stood beside him. YN could feel her heart tearing in two, confirming what she feels for Steve.

She loves him.

And she ruined it.

He's found someone else.

"Uh, Debby these are my friends Bucky, Sam, Nat and.." The moment Steve looked at YN he felt drawn into her presence. The hint of sadness mixed with jealousy splashed within her features had him almost feeling giddy. "And YN."

The way Debby had looked at YN, her gaze flickering down to her bump and back up to her eyes, had given YN the idea that Steve had told the girl his whole life story.

"Hi everyone! This is very random but Steve promised me a game of Mario Kart and I promised to beat him."

YN latched her gaze onto Steve's who gaze had never left her. She didn't even acknowledge that Debby had greeted everyone and began talking amongst the group. Her attention was solely on Steve.

And his her.

-

It was around 7pm and YN was stood in the kitchen picking at a dessert that had been sitting on the side. She couldn't stop thinking about how happy Steve was around Debby. The whole day he hadn't left her side. Making her cups of coffee, playing Wii Sports and Just Dance. He had only looked at YN once and his eyes were like ice.

"How's baby boy doing?"

The voice caused YN jump a little as she turned her attention to him. Steve leant against the doorway, hands in pocket and eyes gleaming with perfection. YN placed a hand on her bump and rubbed it gently before nodding.

"He's great! Moving a bit today, very active. Think it might have been all the sugar I've consumed." YN said with a small laugh. She looked down before looking back at Steve with a small smile. He had already been smiling at her. There was a small silence before Steve pushed himself off of the doorway. "So you and Debby, huh?" YN joked forcing a laugh.

"Yeah, she's great." Steve smiled big and took a few steps closer to YN. "She's completely understanding with this whole situation between us too. Knows that we're going to be living in close quarters to co-parent. She's really something special."

YN squeezed her hand into a fist in order to stop the tears from spilling out of her eyes. Why hadn't she seen it sooner?!

"She seems it." YN whispered gently. After a few moments YN grabbed Steve's hand and placed it on her stomach. The confusion in his face soon disappeared when he felt the small kick against his palm. YN heard a small breath escape his lips as he held his hand to her bump, hers lying on top of his. "That's our baby." YN said gently. "He's growing."

It was almost as if Steve had flipped a switch before the moment his eyes landed on YNs he completely forgot about everyone else in his life. Her big beautiful eyes sparkling at his own with a gentle smile placed on her lips.

"Just say the words YN."

"What do you.."

"Just say it and I'll tell Debby to go home." Steve replied, his voice almost desperate. YN shook her head in disbelief before looking down. She wants to say them so bad. She knows that he knows that, but she couldn't. She couldn't bring herself to become that vulnerable.

"Steve, you don't need to tell her to go.." The slow movements of Steve's hopeful eyes changing to sadness had almost killed YN inside. "I have nothing else to say."
