Chapter 2
Steve had been at SHIELD University for almost 5 months now and has been enjoying the classes and people there.
The campus life was a great part to the school and almost every night he was out doing something new.
Steve, Natasha, Sam, Wanda, Vision, Tony, Clint, and Thor were all sitting in the cafeteria working on homework and eating.
"Hey can you stop dropping crumbs on my paper Thor? I'm trying to study." Clint grunted as he wiped the crumbs of his notes.
Thor laughed, "What is this studying you talk about friend?"
Natasha turned to Thor, "How did you even get into this school? Your brain is like the size of a raisin."
Thor laughed and went back to eating.
"He probably got a scholarship in every sport out there, have you seen the size of him he's like a god!" Tony chuckled as he was polishing his new watch.
-
They all headed outside to the campus quad in front of the school that was located near the parking lot.
They all sat under a tree talking, scrolling on their phones, reading books, and taking notes for upcoming exams.
As they were sitting there a green army truck pulled up in front of the University.
Steve looked over and saw it. His eyes widened.
One person jumped off the back of the truck wearing a camo combat uniform. He had long brown hair and was carrying a green duffel bag. The man slapped the back of the truck signaling the driver to leave.
Steve gasped and stood up quickly dropping his books.
"What? What is it Steve?" Tony exclaimed at Steve's sudden movement.
"Bucky?" Steve gasped and ran over to the man.
Steve ran to Bucky and Bucky turned around smiling opening his arms.
Steve jumped into Buckys embrace and Bucky lifted him off the ground, hugging Steve.
"Hey Steve!" Bucky said and let him down.
"Bucky! Your back!" Steve exclaimed.
"Of course I am. Now how's college?" Bucky asked and started walking back to the tree with Steve.
"Oh it's great. This are my friends." Steve said pointing to everyone.
"You know Sam and Natasha. And this is Thor, Tony, Bruce, Wanda, Vision and Clint." Steve introduced everyone.
"Hey I'm Bucky Barnes." Bucky waved.
The group greeted him then Bucky turned to Steve.
"We've heard a lot about you Barnes." Clint says while writing some notes down in a notebook.
Bucky stayed standing then addressed, "I'm starting school here actually. I enrolled and got in while I was waiting to be shipped my here."
"Really!" Steve smiled.
"Yeah, I'm allowed to purse a degree while still technically still serving," Bucky explains to the group, "So can you show me to the dorms? I really need a hair cut." Bucky gestures to his long hair.
Steve nodded and walked off with Bucky to the dorms.
-
Bucky had started at the school and had been there for almost a year now. He was taking criminal justice classes and law enforcement classes.
Bucky was hanging out in Steve's dorm when Steve came out smiling.
"Hey Steve why are you all smiley?" Bucky said.
Steve rubbed the back off his neck.
"Umm there's a party tonight down the hall and... umm I'd like to know if you want to come with me?" Steve nervously said.
Bucky grinned and stood up.
"Sure thing pal. What time?" Bucky slung an arm over Steve's shoulder.
Steve blushed and smiled.
"You can come here at 6." Steve suggested and Bucky smiled.
"Okay then. See you soon. I'm going to go shower then study for the up coming exam. See you at 6!" Bucky exclaimed leaving the dorm.
Steve sighed and flopped onto his bed.
-
At 6 Bucky showed up and was wearing a his varsity jacket ((he was in sports/ I'll let you decide what sport he plays;)) dog tags, and jeans with his short hair combed back.
Steve was wearing a button down white shirt and black jeans with black suspenders going up and over Steve's shoulders.
All of Steve's roommates had already left to the party so it was only Steve and Bucky in the dorm.
"Ready to go?" Bucky asked and Steve nodded they walked together down the hall.
As they got closer to the dorm with the party they could hear the music. Bucky opened the door and the loud music filled their ears.
The two walked in greeting everyone and began talking and having fun.
About two hours later Bucky walked over to Steve and tapped him on the shoulder.
"You wanna go to the roof?" He whispered and Steve shrugged then smiled.
"Sure." They walked up to the top floor and opened the door that was labeled, "Roof Access."
As they opened the door a cold breeze ruffled both the hair and Steve and Bucky walked towards the edge of the roof.
The sky was dark and the city light shined all around them.
They sat down swinging there legs over the buildings edge.
Another cold breeze came by and blew Steve's shirt close his body and revealed the outline of his small body.
He shivered from the cold and Bucky realized.
"Here take my jacket," Bucky shrugged off his letterman and placed it around Steve's shoulders.
"Thank you, jerk," Steve pushed him playfully.
"How was your time in the army? You haven't talked that much about it," Steve asked while pulled the jacket tighter around him.
Bucky looked of at the city with an expression Steve could put his finger on.
"Most of it's highly classified information, due to the group I work with in combat," Bucky says without looking back at Steve.
All Steve wanted was for Bucky to look at him, to look in his eyes and tell him everything, he wanted that odd emotion etched on his best friend face to go away.
"Then tell be about stuff that didn't happen in combat," Steve said gently.
"Oh! There was this one time we had leave for the weekend and went into this town outside the country we were stationed in. And I met these two dames, and man when I tell you they were something else to kiss!" Bucky smiled and laughed.
But Steve was taken aback.
Girls.
Oh...
