    Summary

    Harvey is finally starting medical school after years of incredibly hard work. The only hang up is his new roommate, Donald, who seems to exacerbate Harvey's social anxiety.
    Donald, a not-yet physical therapist, finds his new roommate to be intriguing- quiet, anxious and somewhat of a code to crack, Donny does his absolute best to befriend him.

    Neither intend on it, but with a closer friendship comes much more than platonic feelings.

     

    Credit and special thanks to @tuna_jsgross on instagram for giving me permission to use their OC, Donny. Hopefully I do him justice!

He is surrounded by sunshine and warmth, but his world has grown cold and gray as he hides himself from the world to protect his shameful secrets. When his neighbor suddenly has a new guest, Steve is drawn to him immediately. The problem? He's a student.

    Bucky Barnes is the new kid in class, though he's no kid. At nineteen-years-old, he has lost more than most will lose in their entire lives. Recently moved to California to live with his uncle following the death of his parents, Bucky is trying to start over and move forward, but he can't get this young teacher out of his head.

    Summary

    “Uhm…”, he hesitated, squeezing his eyes shut. He had to do this, he had to. He didn’t want to lie, it wouldn’t feel right. He wanted the Alpha to like his real self, not a fake one. Even if it seemed hopeless, he just had to try. He had to. Breathing in deeply and squeezing his eyes shut he willed the words out of his mouth.

    “A-Actually I’m not… n-not an Omega… I’m… I’m a B-beta.”

    Silence.

    Then… “Oh.”

    Bucky cringed. He shouldn’t have said it after all. “I-Is that bad? I’m so, so sorry, of course that’s bad, I shouldn’t have called, I’m not normal and I’m weird and now I bothered you, I’m so sorry Steve, I’m sorry, I’m just gonna hang up, I’m-”

    “No!”

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Bucky is a Beta. He would rather be an Omega, so he could find himself an Alpha who takes care of him.

    Summary

    "Steven Grant Rogers," a voice said from somewhere near Steve's front door. "Professional inker. Maybe you'd like to explain why you're leaving us messages about our good friend Bucky?"

    The redhead currently pinning Steve to the couch said, "Really?"

    "Alright, her good friend Bucky. My tolerated friend Bucky."

    "My phone's on the table," Steve ground out. "Grab it, have a look at the last picture."

    The guy grabbed it, and his obvious double-take would have been funny if Steve wasn't being crushed into his couch. He held it out and the redhead peered at it. "It could be fake."

    "That's right," Steve said, digging down for all the sarcasm that existed in his skinny body. "I scribbled all over my own thighs and took a photo so I could lure a pair of hostile weirdos to my apartment. That's how I enjoy spending my time."

    "You know what this means, right?" the guy said, sounding deeply bemused. "Bucky has a soulmate."

    Summary

    “But Sam!” Steve whined. “He’s so hot! And he’s so sweet! I saw him help old Mrs. Smith with her groceries and on Tuesday when it rained, he brought home a soaked, stray kitten and I saw him taking care of it, through the window, and-“

    “Steve!” Sam exclaimed horrified. “That is toeing the creepy line, man. Next thing you know you’ll be telling me you followed him to work!”

    “Uhh..” Steve looked sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck as his other hand, nervously played with the edge of his t-shirt.

    ----------------
    Steve has an unhealthy obsession with his new neighbor.
