Summary
“Hey,” Stephanie whispers. It’s dark. Cold, she’s wrapped in a blanket, head against the window. It’s 8th Avenue. A corner store across from them has blackened their own lights. "Conserve the energy, save money, blankets, no heat" has been the motto for a bit.
“Yeah?” Bucky answered. She’s still, and has been for a bit, wrapped in three jackets as snow falls behind their walls. Lulling back and forward between conciseness, she doesn’t know why she whispers back. It’s only the two of them.
Stephenie is quiet. She doesn’t move or react at first. Just stares ahead of her more.
“Are you going to replace me?” And it’s almost like she’s losing her breath, digging farther into the pile of blankets.
Bucky looks toward her, tilting her head. She’s almost invisible. A pile of cloth. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
OrrrrrrBucky and Stephenie being envious and sad and eventually alone, suffering:), updates as I get through writer’s block
