Summary
Your downstairs neighbour hates you. You're sure of it.
James Buchanan Barnes—the Winter Soldier, Captain America's best friend (twice over!) and occasional part-time Avenger—glares at you with those cold blue eyes of his, every time you cross paths on the stoop of your shared Brooklyn brownstone, and every time he does, you wish you could just melt into the floor and disappear.
What you don't know, though, is that Bucky isn't glaring. He's pining, and he hasn't pined for anyone since 1945. Everyone uses dating apps and the internet these days to meet people. Whatever happened to just... chatting up a pretty girl, and seeing where things went from there?
...yeah, he also hasn't done that since 1945, either, as Sam is so eager to point out (Sarah doesn't count. He loves to point that out, too).
No wonder you think he hates you. But, hey; at least his cat doesn't!
