Night.

// I saw this and was reminded of you, Nic. I can't. @notabearbucky 25.media.tumblr.com/b1b5060d46051e…

I wanted to tell you that.. [Clears my throat, standing up straighter.] I didn't want to lose you.. because you're -- @notabearbucky

-- important to me.. And, yes.. @notabearbucky

[Shifts uneasily, not exactly used to being so close to another person.] I just thought that I should let you know, in -- @notabearbucky

-- case anything ought to happen. @notabearbucky

I.. I don't think so. I've been working on and off, nothing big or anything like that. [Nibbles on my bottom lip, letting --- @notabearbucky

-- my eyes wander.] @notabearbucky

You can be, but basically it's just a way to catching their attention more. Captain America

Night.

[The last thing I do before I settle in for bed is place my shoes neatly at the side of my bed. For an unknown reason, I’ve — Captain America

— been occasionally glancing at my phone with the suspicion that something awkward is occurring. Coincidentally, the screen — Captain America

— lights up, and Captain America’s name flashes on the screen repeatedly as the phone begins to vibrate. Sliding my thumb to answer the —

— call, I form a face full of curiosity, it even showing off in my tone of voice.] Steve, what’s up? Why are you calling — Captain America

— this late? Tell me everything’s alright. Captain America

[Before Captain America has the chance to finish his sentence, I drop the phone, body slipping out of bed to slip some shoes on. Grabbing —

— the phone again, I pull the window open, contemplating stepping outside onto the fire escape steps.] Captain America
