Kelsey thought it was great living with her two best friends…but the thing was she did get a bit lonely sometimes. She needed some girls to speak to, but no one was interested in talking to her. It's not that she wasn't nice enough or anything, more the fact that her clothes were dirty and her face too plain. They were all very poor so they weren't going to spend money on anything like clothes or make up when it was hard enough paying the rent or getting enough food. Her 20th birthday was coming soon but she knew they couldn't afford presents, but it still didn't make the problem much better. That's why she was so moody at her birthday lunch with Bucky and Steve, who seemed to have grins plastered on their faces the whole day.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Kelsey questioned suspiciously, as Bucky nodded to Steve who ran out of the room and came back with two parcels a moment later.
There was a small one and a big one. With a frown she opened the large parcel to find a beautiful, brand new red dress and almost gasped in shock.
"How?" She asked, in awe.
"Open you next present" Steve exclaimed happily.
She did so to find a tube of lipstick, red again, and this time did gasp.
"Am I dreaming?" She inquired, which made both of the boys laugh.
"We've been saving up for the last year to get you something good. I worked overtime and Steve went out and sold some of his drawings. Turns out people actually liked it" Bucky teased Steve, who shoved him playfully.
"You guys are the best! The best!" Kelsey squealed, pulling them both into a tight hug.
After that it surprised them both how many friends Kelsey made. A new friend seemed to pop up almost every week and neither of them could deny they were a bit jealous. She seemed to realise that, so she started setting them up with her different friends, but none of them lasted very long. They would realise that Bucky wasn't really into them and most of them just weren't attracted to Steve, which baffled Kelsey.
"I just don't get it…they all say that you're interested in someone else. Have you got someone on the side you aren't telling me about?" Kelsey asked Bucky one day.
"Nope" Bucky sighed.
"And none of them like me to start with" Steve added, pitifully.
"Well obviously they don't know a good thing when they see it, because you Stevie are one of the most handsomest men I've ever known" Kelsey told him, putting her hands on his shoulders.
"The only men you've ever known are me and Bucky" Steve retorted.
"Beside the point" Kelsey insisted.
"There's no point Kel. No dame is ever going to like me. I'm 21 and I've never even kissed a girl. I mean who's going to want to go out with a guy who's never even kissed someone?" Steve stated, with a huff.
"Okay" Kelsey announced, as she pulled Steve towards her and pressed her lips against his.
Steve's eyes widened as he realised what was happening. The kiss only lasted a few seconds but Steve was flushed and breathing heavy by the time she pulled away.
"Um…" Steve trailed off, not sure what to say.
"Now you can tell all the girls that you have kissed someone…and that she was pretty amazing" Kelsey grinned.
Steve looked over at Bucky's whose face was pinched with an emotion he couldn't quite put his finger on. He gave him a 'sorry' look, but Bucky still seemed annoyed. He knew that Bucky still had feelings for Kelsey, who he was sure returned the feelings.
"You want a kiss too?" Kelsey questioned, when she also saw Bucky's face.
"No, no. Definitely not" Bucky stuttered, blushing lightly.
"C'mon Barnes. I don't bite" Kelsey grinned, as she started chasing Bucky around the room.
It didn't take long for Kelsey to catch him and plant a big kiss on his cheek, laughing as she did so.
