    Summary

    “Sorry to eavesdrop. I’m Sam, your upstairs neighbor. And I’m just saying, they’re plants, not pets. If anything dies, you can get a replacement. Probably easier to pull off than convincing a classroom of kids that the class pet hasn’t been replaced, anyway. Like, Snowpuff 2.0 didn’t even have white fur.”

    Steve inches past some potted plants and dodges the hanging basket that holds a thriving pothos, then leans out over his balcony railing to peer upwards. He can see a man resting his forearms against the railing of the balcony above, but he can’t see much other than the brown skin of Sam’s forearms and a little bit of his profile.

    “Hi,” he calls out. “I’m Steve. Your, uh, downstairs neighbor, obviously.”

    When Steve's stuck riding out the pandemic quarantine alone, he's grateful to make a new friend in his upstairs neighbor Sam. Only the more Steve gets to know Sam via their socially-distanced balcony chats, the less sure he is about whether Sam knows he's Captain America. Which is a problem, because this friendship is turning into a crush, and Steve's long past the point of being able to reveal that information without awkwardness. Which is how Steve ends up with an accidental secret identity. Oops.

    Summary

    “Mmhm,” Sam says. “You look awfully relaxed.”

    Steve smiles a little at that, bites his lip and leans back in his chair so it’s balancing on two legs. “Maybe I am,” he says after a moment. Then he continues, teasingly, “I’m here with my boyfriend. Sun is out. It’s a great day.”

    Summary

    The sound of food sizzling in a pan hits Steve half a second after the smell of spices does, and his smile widens as he closes the door of their apartment behind him.

    The sight of Sam in his most casual wear, putting a wooden spoon in the sink and pulling out a pasta strainer makes Steve’s heart race almost as hard as it had on his run.
