Juniper puckered her lips as she looked back at the new guy running around here. She had met him just moments ago, but she recognized the name immediately. Bucky Barnes. Juniper has spent many late nights having conversations about this man with Steve.

“Me?” she played innocent.

She and Steve haven’t really defined what their relationship was, despite their few stolen kisses. So Bucky’s little statement served as verification of Juniper’s suspicions. Steve was interested.

“What makes you say that?” She steps closer, prying for a further answer.

Bucky gave a little smile. “Because Steve is my best friend and I know him.” Maybe he didn’t remember every tiny thing, but he remembered enough that he knew Steve. “I also happened to accidentally run into you two in the hall the other day and had to turn around and go the long way around.” he teased.
