Summary
Steve and Bucky both missing out on spring break for separate yet similar reasons. As two of the only people left on campus it isn't that surprising that they cross paths. What is surprising is the fallout that occurs after only one simple interaction. Or the one where Bucky is a semi-homeless college student telling lies to cover his shame and Steve gets a fake ex-boyfriend and a reputation for heartless hookups.
Note
Here is another installment in the fake exes series! I apologize it's been so long. I have been in a terrible writing rut. This story is a little strange and I am taking some liberties with Bucky's homelessness. I hope you all enjoy it anyway.Any mistakes you find are mine. All characters belong to their respective creators.
