About an hour later. Bucky comes out holding the blue notebook and shoves it at Steve before going back to his room.

Steve opens it and reads the first letter. It is short and there are a lot of cross outs on the page:

-Steve

I'm not mad you read my notebook, just embarrassed. There's nothing good in it that you would want to read anyways. I'm sorry Sam yelled at you I didn't think he would get mad.

Sorry,

Bucky

P.S You make really weak coffee and it doesn't taste that good. Could you please stop doing that?

The note is short but it is obvious that Bucky is trying and that means the world to Steve. He finds Bucky in the living room and just hugs him.

"For the record I do not make weak coffee," Steve says.

Bucky looks at him skeptically.

"Ok Sam told me to make it weak so you wouldn't be up all night," Steve says.

Bucky simply says, "Stop."

Steve laughs, "Ok I'm glad you picked up on that because I was literally going nuts drinking that shit."

Bucky gives him a mock scolding look.

"Yes kidos sometimes even Captain America swears!"

Bucky rolls his eyes and the corners of his mouth tick upward into an almost smile.

Steve feels so relieved and happy.
