Red.

It's the color that she seemed to always wear, be it her lipstick, or that damned red dress that fitted her perfectly.

When he walked into the restaurant that was teaming with people and waiters/waitresses alike, she stood out from the crowd, calmly reading a menu without a care in the world at a table meant for two. Steve took a glance at the watch on his wrist. 7:58. He made it, even after all these years.

Peggy looked up from the table as he approached, a small smirk on her painted lips. "About time you showed up," she quipped, eyeing him and his attire of a red open collared shirt under a black suit jacket without a tie. His smirk widened as he sat down, taking a sip of water out of the glass that the waiter had left earlier.

"Well, forgive me, My Dear," he started before his eyes unconsciously started trailing up and down her figure. "but I was afraid that you wouldn't be up to it. It's only been a month since you've woken up and-"

"Psssh!" the British woman chuckled lightly, picking up her own glass. "You really think it'll take just that to keep me from going on this date?" She was still chuckling a bit as she took a small sip of the cool beverage. Steve sighed and let his smirk go crooked. "I've been waiting 70 years for this!"

The man raised his glass in a small toast. "To waiting 70 years." The two glasses chimed slightly as they collided before the couple took another small sip of their drinks. After finishing, the captain began with, "You know,"

Peggy raised an eyebrow.

"I've waited 70 years to say that you look lovely in red."

"Why thank you, Captain." She quipped, giving a small seductive smile. He raised his eyebrows to the silent challenge she was placing, smirk turning into a small boyish grin.

Red was a color that represented bloodshed, but also represented love…their love.

Red was indeed their color. Steve mentally agreed on this as the waiter came over to ask for their orders.


This one isn't as long as the previous, but I still hope it fairs up to being readable and/or makes sense ^^;

Feedback in any sort makes my day as a writer! :)
