Chapter One
“Steve, hey man!” Sam Wilson shouted as he walked up to his best friend. Steve couldn’t help the grin that overtook his face as he pulled the man into a hug.
“Hey to you too! How’d you do without me this summer?” Smirking at the man in front of him. Steve Rogers, known to most as; nothing, until now. This summer he made it onto his first 616 After Dark blast, everyone was talking about his amazing ‘glow-up’. Looks like puberty hits some later than others. His mom died three years ago of cancer, just around the same time his best friend disappeared. With his only relative, his dad’s sister Peggy Carter in London he had to move in with his late father’s best friend’s son; Sam Wilson and his wife Carol Danvers.
“Oh you know, made use of every available surface and a child free apartment.” Rolling his eyes, Steve placed his bags into Sam’s waiting arms.
“Child? I’m seventeen man, I literally have to shave.” He joked

Granted he had to do a double take what with the bright pink hair and what he was pretty sure was a nose ring but it was her. To say he’d had a crush on her his whole time at school was an understatement. Freshman year when he first saw her sitting in the courtyard surrounded by Pepper, Natasha and the rest of the Upper East Side posse, he wanted roll his eyes but then she looked at him and smiled and he’s been smitten ever since.
But he never made a move because first of all, he was a boy from Brooklyn who was only able to get into St. Lee’s because his Aunt paid for him to go. Second of all he looked practically 2D, probably weighing ninety pounds wet and thirdly; she was dating Carter Baizen, his best friends brother who abandoned Bucky for the Upper East Side. Taking one last look at Laura, he followed Sam out.
