❥ owner of a lonely heart

Steve's in bed wide eyed without a single ounce of sleepiness in his mind, maybe he just didn't want to sleep as he kept changing his positions on the bed that felt too soft. It felt like he’d sink any second, like laying on a bed made of marshmallows.
He secretly didn't want to sleep because if he did, he'd dream of all the things he missed.
He'd dream about the life he could have had before the serum, the war, and the sleeping for decades.
Most nights he'd have nightmares, specifically about Bucky, his best pal falling off the train a million times and every single time he's reminded how he couldn't save him.
Bucky would never want him to blame himself of course, but his thoughts can't help but drift to how he was finally a hero but he couldn't even save his best friend.
He'd also have the usual dream about the bar, surrounded by the Howling Commandos as he and Peggy finally have their dance.
He'd cling to the memories he had like it was yesterday because it was—for him all of it just happened recently, but decades had passed and he can never go back.
He had enough and decided to just sleep on the sofa as he watched the rain drizzle against his window on this lonely Sunday night.
His thoughts drifting back to you, he was consumed by the memories of that afternoon that you gave him free dessert and how he feels like he knew you.
Then it clicked like a light bulb above his head dinged, he did know you! he met you, a week before meeting you at that small coffee shop.
Just like the night he met you, it was raining. heavily
flashback in Steve’s POV
He met you after leaving the bus stop and that was the story of how a bright yellow umbrella currently rested at the side of his front door.
![An Angel At The Bus Stop [ 2/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/c0caaba97b34daee-f7/s500x750/b592d18a250cf399eec2a1e267241b835892d409.png)
The rain poured violently as Steve walked away from the bus stop after being dropped off, he waited a couple minutes hoping the weather would get better but alas it unfortunately didn't.
As he realized he'd just have to walk home completely soaked, he groaned as he decided to use his brown leather jacket as a makeshift umbrella. How badly he wished he brought one as the rain continuously poured down on him. He was used to it though, he was a soldier and the war didn't pick a weather.
He didn't walk too fast, not taking the chances with the slippery road. He didn't worry much about getting sick because the serum had strengthened his immune system.
His day was honestly going badly. He still hasn't grasped the concept of electronics yet and he had just received the files about Peggy , the Howling Commandos.Oh! and his microwave broke–just great. He had to go out to eat which led him walking home soaked from head to toe.
… and then he met you, probably the only good thing about his day
As he walked the side of the empty sidewalk lit by the lamp posts that stood a few feet away from each other, there you were, your figure blurred due to the rain drops that went in his eyes.
He blinked the rain drops away to see you better, you were wearing a simple white dress that glowed against the dark street and as he observed you more he noticed the sunflowers around your dress. Your white dress and bright smile could've fooled Steve that you were an angel.
What made you stand out though?
the obvious big bright yellow umbrella that is.
Weirdly the scene that played Infront of Steve seemed magical, majestic even. You probably didn't notice him as you walked right past him. The five seconds of briefly seeing you, he already wanted to see you again.
He saw your bright smile as your hair was slightly damp. You were smiling as you walked barefoot, probably towards the bus station he just came from. You were holding your heels in one hand as the other tightly clutched the umbrella.
Steve stood still for a couple seconds mesmerized by you. You were like the sun in the middle of all the rain, literally. You looked like the sun in Steve's eyes that night. He was snapped out of his thoughts as he hit the lamp post a bit hard, he clutched his nose groaning in pain, from the hard pole and his stupidity.
He suddenly felt the rain stop and as he glanced up, a yellow umbrella came to sight. He looked to his side, and there you were the girl that caught his eyes looking at him worried. He snapped out of his thoughts when he saw you were waving your hand in front of him.
Great, you just saw the mighty Captain America be the biggest idiot in the rain.
“ DUDE YOU OKAY? didn't catch a concussion did you!!???! DO I CALL 911!? “ you exclaimed in panic as he remained silent, watching your movement as you quickly tried to grab something from your pocket
“ hey! im okay—im fine, thanks “ he said forcing a smile with a slightly reddish nose and a flushed face hoping to keep you calm
“ HEY! you can have my umbrella, I’m waiting at the bus stop and you seem like you need it “ you declared probably pitying him as you pat his shoulder
He was mentally facepalming himself for looking like a complete idiot in front of the beautiful dame in front of him.
“ you don't have to,truly im fine, miss “
“ it's fine you can have it and i hope your nose is fine “
before he could refuse you already ran away towards the direction of the soon arriving bus, using your hand to shield yourself. You momentarily seek protection from the rain at the bus stop he previously was at.
“ THANK YOU! “ Steve yelled from a distance and saw you turn around to smile at him with a small wave of a hand before you boarded the empty bus and left. He was gonna run after you and maybe strike a conversation, seeing as you stayed at the bus stop temporarily but quickly backing out because of fear that you'd think he was a creep.
He smiles at the memory of you and the umbrella you gave him. Maybe he had to thank his stupidity sometimes. If it weren't for the physical evidence of your umbrella in his apartment, he'd think you weren't real. You felt like a fragment of imagination , maybe caused by hitting his head on the lamp post that night.
end of flashback
![An Angel At The Bus Stop [ 2/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/c0caaba97b34daee-f7/s500x750/b592d18a250cf399eec2a1e267241b835892d409.png)
He didn't know what to think of the fact he met you again. He never thought out of all the people who worked in the shop he went for coffee, it would be you who’d make his coffee. He thought maybe it was fate, a brief chance of luck.
All he could do was smile as he thought of how he'd act the third time he’ll meet you, maybe with less foolishness.
‘ they did say third times the charm ‘
‘ did she remember me? ‘
‘ Is that why she gave me cake? ‘
' the cake was good '
‘ DOES SHE THINK I'M AN IDIOT? ‘
' What coffee do I order next? '
Different thoughts and questions came to mind as he drifted to sleep with a smile, for the first time since he woke up—the sleep felt calm. It didn't have the feeling of fear that he wouldn't wake up again and it wasn't another nightmare about the past.
He dreamt of something funny this time, the monkey he once drew but instead of his uniform and shield, the monkey held a yellow umbrella and a banana as it unicycled over a sunny field.
Here you are now, working another day at the coffee shop on a boring Monday night. You were currently outside as you were painting the sign of the coffee express halfway. You muttered curse after curse angrily as you mentally pictured your boss for giving you this annoying task, you were an art major but you weren't a freaking carpenter.
He slept peacefully for the first time and maybe it was because of you.
![An Angel At The Bus Stop [ 2/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/c0caaba97b34daee-f7/s500x750/b592d18a250cf399eec2a1e267241b835892d409.png)
There's also the current painting you needed to finish for another class you were taking which you hadn't done as you had a knack for procrastinating to the last second.
Though you were thankful since your boss allowed you to use the extra paint for your project, you were just annoyed at painting the large sign at two am.
You attempted to reach for the higher parts of the sign board, that you momentarily forgot you were standing on a ten feet tall ladder. Your balance slipped as your shoes were no longer feeling the unstable ladder but quickly about to plummet on your death.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You never hit the ground though, you kept your eyes close not realizing a pair of thick arms cradled your form.
Were you dead? Was death like this? you didn't feel the fall as you quickly died? that's it? you died falling while painting a stupid sign?
You slowly adjust your vision to the bright light of the lamp post thinking it's the lights of heaven, not quickly seeing a pair of blue eyes filled with worry looking at you, you couldn't hear what he was saying distracted by the fact the guy you had a little crush on is in front of you.
Why the fuck would he be the one to greet you in the gates of heaven? Were you in a coma and are currently imagining him?
“ you're hot “ you voiced out without thinking instead of asking if you were still alive.
“ what? “ Steve asked confusedly still gravely worried
“ Am I dead? “ you finally asked, just as you saw yourself through the reflection of the shop, you were in the arms of the cute guy as he stood there, easily holding you like a sack of potatoes.
“ you okay? “
“ yeah , I think my life just flashed before my eyes … “ you said monotonously still a bit out of it as you felt yourself slowly get steadied on the ground with your hands in instinct using his shoulders as support
“ nice muscles … “ you weren't even high but close death might have just given you no shame as you compliment Steve for the second time without a single thought in mind
“ thank you? … Are you okay? seriously? Can I call someone? hey, look at me “ Steve ignoring the compliment and staring worryingly as he saw you staring at the floor, he used his one hand to make you glance up at him, hoping you didn't have a concussion as remembered you not hitting the ground.
The action made you melt, feeling his warm big hand on your cheek and staring at his piercing blue eyes obviously worried about you, you blushed as you made him drop his hand or else you would have straight up kissed him there and there.
You fanned yourself quickly as you planned out what you were about to say without embarrassing yourself as you tried to control your blushing.
“ thank you … uhh what’s your name? i feel like I should know the guy who saved my life just now “
“ Steve uhh Rogers “ he stated hesitantly, afraid you'd recognize his name from a museum.
“ Steve—oh my god! “ you shrieked with excitement
Hearing you say his name for the first time also made Steve want to make you say it a hundred times more.
' there it is, you knew him ' he voice in his head readying himself for the
' your the Captain America! '
“ —you just saved my life, oh my god! Thank you!! Do you want cake? because we have lots of cake! “ he breathe a laugh at your nervous demeanor , thankful that you didn't know who he actually was
He chuckled at your offering of cake for saving your life, he found everything you did fascinating and just absolutely adorable
“ Sure , maybe just like the free sample you gave me last time? “
“ The cookies n’ cream special? of course, anything you like actually “ you remarked as you opened the glass door for him to enter
“ Perfect timing, if you weren't there I'd probably be dead or with a broken spine, wait–what are you doing out here?It's like 2 am? doubt you were jogging based on your attire “ you said teasing as you looked at his outfit which is a simple black leather jacket and black pants with evident white paint along with his polished black shoes
“ oh my god, sorry for the paint Steve… god I'm such a clutz “ you said placing the whole plate of chilled cake on the table as Steve lifted his foot seeing there are paint stains on him only as far as his knee
“ don't worry about that, I can replace these—can't replace a life uhh your name? “ he chuckled nervously as he didn't know your name
“ Sunny “ you replied
“ even your name is pretty, Sunny “ uttered Steve rather quickly as the thought came to him, the comment making you both blush
“ And I was here on a walk? “ Steve stated with uncertainty since he only went here to see you, maybe order coffee on a small chance that he'd be able to talk to you
“ oh thought you were here for this “ you said as you reached for the sketchbook that became a bit dusty under the counter, you raised the book in hand waving it slightly
You both sat conversing at one of the tables as you ate both a piece of the cake. The conversation going from his sketches to your empty canvas he spotted. You guys talked for an hour about art, him saving your life to small things like favorite color, food and to why Steve seemed old fashioned in which you guessed was that he's mormon. Steve agreed even if he didn't exactly know what that meant, better than you finding out he was basically a 97 year old breathing fossil.
“ oh! yeah, definitely passed by here to get that thing back “ Steve laughed, ditching the lame excuse he previously exclaimed.
![An Angel At The Bus Stop [ 2/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/c0caaba97b34daee-f7/s500x750/b592d18a250cf399eec2a1e267241b835892d409.png)
Then it started raining, drizzle hitting the window panels of the shop added by a surge of lighting startling both of you. Steve got a feeling of deja vu except both of you fortunately aren't soaked from head to toe.
“ ugh , I don't have a ride home or an umbrella, I miss my umbrella “ you said remembering that you gave away your umbrella to some stranger a week ago.
The umbrella does not really hold an important meaning but you did have it for three years.
You had forgotten the memory of the guy you gave your umbrella to though, it wasn't like you were the kindest person on earth—you just saw a guy crash his face into a lamppost and felt bad, felt like the least you could do was give your umbrella to the poor idiot.
Though your statement made Steve choke on his second slice of cake
“ So what happened to your umbrella? “ Steve asked nervously, realizing you didn't recognize it was him you gave your umbrella to.
“ gave it to some idiot who hit his face on the street pole “ you said casually with a chuckle as you took another bite of the cake slice you had staring at the window being rained at
“ I–i was the guy you gave the yellow umbrella to “ he proclaimed carefully as he saw you quickly turn your head towards him
“ I never mentioned it was yellow … you were that idiot!? “ you said with an amused laugh as you saw Steve laugh as well with slightly reddened cheeks
“ harsh but yes , i'm the idiot “ said Steve embarrassingly as he covered his face
“ for what it counts you're a very cute idiot “ you said making Steves face blush more
“ So just to be sure you're not a stalker right … ? “ you said casually as if that would save you if Steve is actually a stalker but you knew he was too nice to be one
“ no-no of course note, that would never be my intention, i would n-never invade your privacy “ Steve stammered as he stood up from his seat
You bursted out laughing seeing his panicked state
‘ he looks too cute, definitely not a stalker–well if he is ,i am not complaining ‘ you thought
“ I'm only teasing, don't worry Steve " you said making him take a deep breath while sitting back down
“ Wanna recreate the first time we met? “ you teased as you gazed outside that had rain still continuously pouring after an hour and a half
“ I'm just gonna wrap up the cake so you can take it home “
The two's conversation continued , well more of just you teasing Steve about the rain incident. You enjoyed making Steve blush, the cutest parts were when his ears would turn red.
![An Angel At The Bus Stop [ 2/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/c0caaba97b34daee-f7/s500x750/b592d18a250cf399eec2a1e267241b835892d409.png)
“ you don't have to give me the whole cake Sunny, I already had two slices “ said Steve sheepishly seeing you clean up and pack up the cake in a box
“ oh , don't worry about that , you my dashing hero deserve more than one box of cake, i'd give you this coffee shop if i could for saving my life “ you stated as a fact, you were still a bit in shock that you could have died moments ago but Steve definitely made you feel better, having him as company.
The rain stopped a couple minutes later though, fortunately you and Steve wouldnt have to be soaked from head to toe again.
" just wait here, I need to get my bag from the storage room " you announced smiling already walking inside the average sized room that was beside the cashier
As you were packing up your belongings, Steve's having an internal turmoil about how it would be appropriate to ask for your number but it also could potentially end up as him screwing everything up
He heard it was more normal now to ask for a lady’s number but he didn't even know if he's your friend.
" fuck this " he said as he stood outside the door hearing faint sounds of you packing your things, a surge of confidense hitting him as he felt determined to get your number.
Even if he didn't have a smartphone, he'd just use a normal telephone that he could ask from Fury.
As you open the door going inwards , you come very close face to face with Steve. The close proximity makes you both freeze and slightly redden. He lets out a small squeak of Hi while shyly rubbing his neck as he asks “ I know this is pretty forward but could I get your number? “ , he anxiously waits for your answer while fear grows inside him as the silence continues.
He finally exhales the air he didn’t know he's been keeping in as you cheerfully replied
“ sure! “ with a wide grin you take a paper to write your number in
Steve waits outside as you arrange some things in the shop before actually closing.
Steve smiles brightly as you gave him the paper that had your phone number, carefully tucking it in his pocket for safe keeping.
![An Angel At The Bus Stop [ 2/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/c0caaba97b34daee-f7/s500x750/b592d18a250cf399eec2a1e267241b835892d409.png)
He couldn't contain his excitement, whispering shout a ‘yes’ as he fist bumps the air having successfully got your number.
" bucky would be proud, rogers " he said patting his own shoulder with a ridiculous smile
" You got the girl’s number and a cake " he said smugly as he looked at you as you unplugged some sockets and glanced at the cake in hand inside a box wrapped with a fancy gold ribbon.
“ ready to go madam? “
“ yes , superman “
“ like the guy with laser eyes? … and big muscles “ teased Steve remembering your comment making you blush as you punch his bicep
“ you’re annoying “ you grumble while walking away fast but a smile couldn't help but escape your lips
“ hey! wait for me “ shouted Steve from a distance
“ eat my dust old man “ you joked as you ran a bit while Steve groans not being able to run as he's carrying a cake
The two continued chasing each other playfully through the empty wet streets, splashing some puddles along the way. Steve being the gentleman he is, walked you to your house and refused to walk away even if his apartment was in another direction. He didn't want to leave you until he had seen you walk inside your house with his own eyes ensuring your safety. The night ended with you kissing Steves cheek for walking you home
“ night, my hero ~~ “ you said as Steve started walking away but still looking at you
“ goodnight sunshine ~~ “ he voiced from a distance making you giggle as you walked inside your house ending the night
Steve turned away smiling in pure bliss, walking the empty street as the sunrise started to show.

radio free america! [ 1/8 ]
pairing—steve rogers x barista!reader
summary—a cute guy forget's his sketchbook and it's up to the equally cute barista to make sure it's returned safely into his arms
warnings—lots of angst from Steve's pov, crushes at first sight, idiots who like each other, this doesn't really need a warning, meet-cute?? , set months before the events of the battle in New York
a/n—they definitely didn't show enough of what Steve might have felt waking up 70 years into the present
The man woke up from a war and almost immediately was thrown into another
THE MAN NEEDS THERAPY
the endgame ending only happened cuz my man still had unpacked trauma from everything
❥ owner of a lonely heart

he felt many emotions as he woke up 70 years into the present
he felt so afraid not knowing a single thing as he opened his eyes
Is he dead?
If he's alive, where's Peggy?
Why did the radio say the game of '41? it's supposed to be 1945
he felt more scared as he was welcomed by a stranger
After running away from the fake room made to look like a hospital room he was in, he finds himself in a stranger – more modern version of New York that he could hardly recognise
Everyday since waking up, he'd just feel lost most of the time — a man lost in time.
There were more buildings and billboards that were lit up.
![Radio Free America! [ 1/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/fcbee04f88e6f36c-92/s500x750/44f5d0f5580600d87cbc02d264f08055b626da67.png)
He thought he died, everybody did.
Maybe he should have died , because he never asked to be alive after 70 years as he knew sacrificing his life was worth it.
it’s still weird for him to see everything has passed,his friends were gone and Peggy already lived her life without him.
it felt strange exploring New York, there were more buildings, more variety of foods.
It's new territory and he felt isolated, like a newborn exploring a new world without training wheels.
He wasn't lost too much, he's a 27 year old and some things came easy to understand.
He didn’t know what purpose he had left.They won the war and he had saved the city from being hit by the Valkyrie.
Everything was high tech compared to his time, electronics were a bit confusing to understand but he did find it fascinating that everything could be easily stored and done using a small square of a phone that you could bring easily anywhere .
![Radio Free America! [ 1/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/fcbee04f88e6f36c-92/s500x750/44f5d0f5580600d87cbc02d264f08055b626da67.png)
… but what’s left for him when he has lost everything?
Bucky fell of the train,the Howling commandos were gone and it’s too late for him and Peggy.
He basically had nothing left to live for yet he's given a second chance that he didn't know what to do with.
He felt distraught that day when he was given their files, every single one of the Howling Commandos were marked deceased except Peggy’s.
He didn’t have the courage to call Peggy, he didn’t even know what he’d say in the first place.
' Hi, I'm not dead and I'm stuck in my 27 year old body????? I was stuck in the ice like a freaking popsicle Peggy! I'm sorry we never got our dance ... '
He’s all alone and absolutely out of place in the world he’s now forced to live in.
He felt like God was playing a cruel joke on him.
He would go out strolling and see everything has changed.
He just wanted to go back as that skinny guy from Brooklyn with his best pal.
Everyday he'd be at the gym assaulting gym bags as a way to let out his frustrations. He would work out until he feels breathless. On sunny days he'd go out walking, he'd eye the buildings in awe as they were more developed.
Today he sat outside a coffee shop where he only bought a single cup of coffee while he started drawing the building up front.
He would ride his motorcycle and feel the cold air, he'd close his eyes for a few seconds still imagining that he's back in the forties.
![Radio Free America! [ 1/8 ]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c6b3f168546f493a2ca67804aeadd10/fcbee04f88e6f36c-92/s500x750/44f5d0f5580600d87cbc02d264f08055b626da67.png)
" good coffee? " you asked as you saw the cute guy that ordered a while ago that your co-worker assisted
" yeah, nice coffee " said Steve with a small smile
" good cause I made it " you humored
' seriously Rogers? niCe cOfFeE , he still didn't know how to talk to pretty girls '
If Bucky were here right now, he either would've stolen the girl or nagged him about how he should ask for her number, Steve thought not noticing you placing the cake on his table.
“ i didn't order any sweets, maam “ said Steve eyeing the small cake you gave him
It was a simple oreo cake with white frosting everywhere.
He saw how beautiful you were and is awestruck.
He couldn't help but feel he saw you before, maybe as he passed this very same shop.
“ i know you didnt but you seemed sad, no offense “ you said smiling as the man Infront of you smiled back
“ thanks, I guess i am kinda famished “ Steve said picking up the small fork to take a bite
He wouldn't say no to a cake given by a pretty dame
He wasn't that stupid
“ So waiting on the big guy? “
“ maam? “ he questions
“ iron man, lot of people eat here just to see him fly by “ you said pointing at the building he was drawing before you talked to him
“ maybe another time " said steve as he took the cake quickly in one bite that made you giggle seeing the frosting that was left in his lips
He felt hypnotized by your small laugh and the way you crunched your nose as you laughed.
He turned red thinking he made a fool of himself and quickly wiped of the extra frosting around his mouth.
“ table’s yours as long as you like,nobody’s waiting on it and plus we got free wireless “ you said as you started walking away wiping your hands on your apron
“ radio? “ the cute guy asked that just made you smile more thinking he was joking
“ ask for her number, you moron “ an old guy next to Steve asked as he shook his head
He walked away forgetting the sketchpad he brought, occupied with the thoughts of you and your laugh.
You returned outside to clean some tables and give out other people's orders.
He watched the trains go by, like the way years had gone in the blink of an eye.

You went to the cute guy's table and saw his forgotten notebook.
You tucked it under your arm as your hands held the tray filled with empty plates and cups with the clattering of some utensils as you moved.
You set down the sketchbook just to peek in case the guy that left wrote his name.
You opened it cautiously to the first page knowing artists like to be careful with their sketchbooks.
You were an art major yourself but in digital arts, you wanted to pursue a career in animation.
You liked drawing a lot too as a teenager, and painting but animation fascinated you.
The moving pictures that could tell any story you want it to, the magic of voice acting and sound effects making a movie without actually showing real people amazed you.
You loved disney films and ghibli animation, you loved the way even drawings can showcase complicated emotions.
S. Rogers
His first initial and surname were written on the small corner of the first page. A thing most people do even if they didn't draw, they'd put their initials or signature.
You did it too,with all your notebooks, your umbrella and even your books.
You couldn't help but flip the next pages getting mesmerized by the drawings the cute guy had.
You giggled seeing the monkey in an army like attire holding a shield, their were drawings of people – most of them looked as if they were from the military. They had helmets on or had the more professional uniforms with buttons and medals.
The more drawings you saw the more it felt wrong peeking at his masterpieces, you'd hate it too but you made the excuse in your head that you were just trying to find more information on the cute guy that left rather quickly that afternoon.
You sensed the sadness, emptiness of the drawings he had, maybe he missed these people, you thought while closing the notebook not wanting to pry into his privacy any longer.
You smiled as you walked home remembering the details of the cute guy's looks. He seemed nice and dorky, not like the guys that would just hit on you and expect you to say yes after some sweet talking.
You kept it safe in one of the drawers under the cashier hoping the cute blonde will show up again.

His ocean blue eyes made you blush, they felt so intimidating in a way that made you feel like your old 16 year old self.
It was infatuation at first sight, his outfit making him look old fashioned but still dashing.
You wanted to be the one to always put a smile on his face if it looked as pretty as the one he gave you just hours ago.
You wanted to pass your finger through his blonde locks that you'd bet were as soft as clouds.
You couldn't miss his broad shoulders and thick figure.
You found yourself crushing on the mysterious cute guy that left his sketchbook.
You felt giddy as you slept thinking of the same pair of ocean blue eyes.

The man woke up from a war and almost immediately was thrown into another
