The ship docked and we got out. We were back at the base and that piece of scum who murdered Kyla's family. Her name was Emily Bold,

Steve brought her inside the same base Kyla was in, but Wanda was keeping her busy so she wouldn't see. "I know she's here!" Emily screamed and Steve covered her mouth. He brought her to a secret cell in the prison ward and I stayed by the ship.

"Bucky!" Kyla called and I turned around and she jumped to my arms. I squeezed her to my chest and I realized how much I had missed her.

"I was so worried you weren't coming back." She mumbled and she kissed my cheek. "I missed you so much." I said and hugged her again. We were away for six days. That was the first time in weeks we weren't together and I didn't like it at all.

"So how'd it go?" She asked trying to get info out of me, "it went okay, what about you? What'd you do while I was away?" I asked because I was genuinely interested.

"Nothing, I hung out with Wanda but that's it. You're all the fun." She smiled and grabbed my bag, it was just my clothes and she hung it over her shoulder.

"You look good in that new uniform by the way, I don't know, if I.... I don't know if I ever told you." She said while blushing, she's so cute.

"You're so cute." I said out loud and she looked down to the ground. "You're cute too." She mumbled and I loved her even more. I didn't know that was possible.

She really was different from other girls. I noticed we were walking to my room and I'd hopefully get to be alone with her for some time now.

"I didn't stop thinking about you that entire time, and that kiss..." I said and she turned to me. "I couldn't stop thinking about it either." I smiled, I honestly can't remember the last time I kissed a girl.

"I have a question for you, you don't have to answer it, but I feel like if you don't- then you're sort of answering it..." She rambled on

"What is it?" I asked and she blushed

"Was that your first kiss since 1945?" She asked and laughed

"That bad, huh?" I said and she laughed

"No, no, it wasn't bad, I was just.....curious."

"Yes, that was my first kiss since 1945" I said and she smirked at me. "I was just wondering.." She added

"Of coarse you were.."

We walked to my room and both walked inside. She walked to the small couch in the corner and watched me unpack. "Well now you have me worried. Was I good?" I asked and she nodded.

"Definitely."

We spent the rest of the day together just catching up on went on around here. We were both in a cafeteria just sitting at a table together.

Are you going to tell me how your mission went?" She asked and I lied. "It was pretty simple and went well."

"Barnes don't start lying to me..."

"I can't tell you, I'm sorry."

"Bucky you can tell me anything, I can take it."

"Kyla its for your safety, trust me with this one, okay? I'll tell you when you need to know." She sighed and squinted at me. "You're lucky you're so cute or I'd keep asking about this." She said and I sighed in relief.

"So, did you tell Steve?" She asked and I nodded my head no. "I wanted to wait to see what you thought." , referencing to our kiss

"Can we wait? I mean we only kissed. I mean, are we dating? What are we?" She asked and I remember that even 70 years ago that this question is always dreaded.

"Well, once we get out of this dump, I'll take you on a proper date." I said and she smiled. "I'd like that..." She answered.

She took a sip of her coffee and took a bite out of a muffin on her plate. I realized how lucky I was to be near her, and have her in my life. She want paying attention to me at the moment but all I could think was

'How did I ever end up with her?'

She had helped me understand that it wasn't my fault, she still likes me after what I've done. She is the only one I really feel like my old self again. I wish I knew how to tell her all of this, but I don't

She makes me feel like nothing bad can or will ever happen. She makes me feel good, she makes me feel like a good person. I smiled at her and continued to watch her eat her food.

"What are you looking at?" Kyla asked and smiled. "You... you're just really beautiful." I blushed. She also makes me nervous to be around, just because I'm afraid I'll mess up around her and she'll find me weird or annoying or something.

She blushed and looked down. "I think you're handsome." She said and I grabbed her hand. "Bucky...you always zone out, you okay?"

"Yes, it's just I'm so lucky to have you around. You're one of my closest friends Ky, you're so pretty and I like you a lot. Sometimes.... I just get caught up in the moment."

Kyla Point of View:

"Bucky..." I said and got off my chair and walked over to him. I hugged him and he kissed my head. "That's one of the sweetest things you've said to me."

He gently rubbed my back and his head was buried in my neck. My arms were around his neck. We stayed like this for a long time until he took his hand off my back

I brushed some hair behind his ear and he smiled at me. "I feel the exact same way about you Bucky."
