    Summary

    They saved the world, but now they have to keep living.

    After it all, Bucky sticks close to Steve's side. He doesn't remember much from before the soldier, only bits and pieces. Steve fills in where he can, but when Steve's account and Bucky's memories don't quite line up, Bucky starts to wonder what Steve is hiding from him. And why are so many of his old memories romantic?

    This is a story about miscommunication. And roommates.

    "Because he didn’t remember his mother, his father. Apparently, he had a sister, but he couldn’t picture her face. He didn’t remember school, or when he stopped going to school and started working. He knows he went on a lot of dates, but couldn’t name a sweetheart. He didn’t remember the bulk of the war. Or his fall. He remembered every second as the soldier, but with a level of distance, seen through glass. He felt guilty for that time, but guilty like watching a crime and doing nothing, not like committing one. That was one for the therapist.

    Of the few things Bucky knew for a fact to be true, the one he is most sure of is that he loved Steve and always had."
