Chapter Text
No beta. All mistakes are my own. In fact its the only thing(s) I do own.
They met. Became friends. Really good friends. She feels...... something but she has no one outside of the tower. She won't risk losing everything just to love Steve. Because no relationship, in her experience, has ever lasted.
Hurt and upset Steve moves on. But something just doesn't add up with Steve's girl. Unable to determine what Darcy keeps quiet. Until she really can't anymore.
"Steve please".
"Why?" his voice full of anger and hurt.
Darcy couldn't answer him.
"What did you think? I would pine over you, that I wouldn't move on to someone who was willing to love ALL of me."
She felt the blood drain from her face.
"It's not like that!" her voice breaking slightly.
"This isn't a jealous girlfriend thing. I jus-"
"You weren't even that, Darcy." He said quietly
The comment hurt more than she let on, she took a deep breath.
"I just don't want to see you get hurt. I don't want you to do something you might regret."
A muscle in his jaw twitched. His voice steely cold.
"I won't."
"Look if she loves you then she'll wait til you're ready."
"I was ready with you." He yelled, his hands grabbed her shoulders. He was close and Darcy had to step back. His touch sent lightening down her body, as it always did. He flinched at the touch too. But hurt by the distance she had always put between then.
"I have to go. She's waiting for me."
He turn and walked away.
"Steve"
She called but he didn't even pause, he just kept moving further away from her.
