H - Hero

A lot of cheering. People wanting to squeeze his hand, give him medals, praising his feat of breaking into HYDRA's base, single handedly rescuing many, many American soldiers from slow and painful death. Everyone called him a hero. Steve didn't feel like a hero. But it was the first time in his life, he felt like a soldier.


I - Ice

Steve looked with wide eyes as the waitress put a glass in front of Tony. When she did that, the ice cubes inside clinked gently. She made a move to put a glass in front of Steve, with the same content as Tony's.

"Could I get a one without ice, please?" he asked, apologetically, as thinking that it would be an awful lot of trouble for the waitress. She just smiled politely and nodded, putting Steve's glass back on the tray. Tony regarded Steve from behind his sunglasses carefully.

"I'll take the same as him," he said evenly. The waitress collected both glasses and Steve looked at Tony.

"You didn't have to do this.." he mumbled.
Tony shrugged. "I have to watch for my throat," he explained. But when Tony slid his hand under the table, and squeezed Steve's knee reassuringly, Steve smiled, knowing that he was lying.


J - James 'Bucky' Barnes

The sound of the bottle being put on the table got Steve out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw a bottle of Schnapps, next he felt someone sitting next to him on the bunk bed.

"It's been a while, huh?" Bucky sighed.
"Yeah. Yeah, it was.." Steve twisted his fingers nervously. Bucky didn't pay attention and poured them some into two glasses, handing one to Steve.

"Heard you didn't have an occasion to taste it," he smirked. Steve, reluctantly, took the glass.
"Bucky, I.."
"I want to propose a toast," Bucky ignored him, and also ignored the whine Steve made. He had enough toasts, ones that praised him as a hero who saved 400 soldiers from Hydra's captivity. Why did Bucky have to torment him further?

"To Steve Rogers," Bucky started and Steve looked hopefully at him. "A kid from Brooklyn who didn't forget where he comes from and who doesn't like bullies," he said, clinking his glass against Steve's.

Steve smiled. He could drink to that. After all, having his friend back was the best possible occasion to celebrate.


K - Keys

If there was one thing Steve absolutely couldn't get used to in his new life it was cards. He didn't want to use credit cards, preferring to carry cash, didn't want to use magnetic cards for opening locks, and Tony took pity on him installing additional traditional locks in every door just for him. Tony was grumbling that it was hurting his high-tech building, but Steve explained that it just reminded him of his own times, which in his opinion, were much simpler. Tony, after initially wanting to make some snappy remark, just half smiled, deciding to be nice for a change. It was worth to suffer for a bit to see Steve's smile.


L - Laundry

There was a reason Steve was unofficially called the mommy of the Avengers team - he not only was their leader, trained them, but he also took care of them. He always made sure that there was a stock of green tea in the kitchen for Bruce, and that Natasha's favorite brand of ice cream was in the freezer, because the day they ran out of it all hell broke loose. He cooked tasty meals from a scratch and delicious desserts, finding comfort in what he was doing, never using mixers or other robots shortening the whole process. The only appliance he liked so far was the washing machine. It was another thing he found comfort in - no matter how dirty the clothes he put in they always came out clean. So when one day he was pulling his white training shirts out of the washing machine, seeing that now they were pink, as one solitary red sock with gold stripe got tangled in his clothes, he didn't know if to laugh, cry or yell.

"TONY!!!"

He decided to yell.


M - Magaret "Peggy" Carter

"And these are your only two options? A lab rat or a dancing monkey?" Steve gently ran his finger along the white and black photo. " You were meant for more than this, you know?" he closed his eyes, hearing Peggy's voice, vivid and real, just as if she was standing next to him. He saw her red lips, wavy hair, he could smell her perfume. "Eight o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late! Understood?" Steve looked outside the window of his apartment in Brooklyn SHIELD transferred him to. It was loud, crowded. "I'm sorry I missed our date, Peggy.." he whispered.
