You held yourself tightly as the coldness of fall brushed against your skin. You laid down the flower on top of the grave of your best friend. You inhaled deeply as you stood up and stared at the tombstone. You closed your eyes and felt the cold air briskly hit against your face. You've been to her grave before, you visit her every month. And each time you tried to keep your cool and not break down crying. But today was the day you just felt like breaking down. You didn't know why, but you did.

 You brought your hands up to your face and began to cry into them. You couldn't believe that your best friend was already gone. There were bunches of things that you haven't done together, and now that she was gone, they weren't going to be possible to do. As you continued to cry into your hands, you could hear some ruffling of the leaves as if somebody was walking towards you.

''Hey,'' a voice whispered. ''are you okay?''

''Wha– oh,'' you immediately remove your hands from your face and hastily wipe away the tears that were sliding down your cheek. ''Yeah. I'm okay.''

''It's okay to cry doll, don't be embarrassed.'' said the mysterious voice.

 You turned your head and saw a handsome blonde man standing not too far away from you. He was dressed up in all black, just like you were.

''Who are you anyways, and why are you over here? I don't even know you.'' you said, getting rather defensive.

''Well, I see you here every month because I visit my friend who recently passed—''

''If you've seen me here every month than why did you choose to come up to me today?'' you asked, keeping your gaze from his.

''Because the other times I've seen you, you've never cried so I thought you were fine. But today, I saw you crying and.. I wanted to comfort you.''

 You didn't respond to the man who was still staring at you with his eyebrows furrowed in sadness. You sniffled, trying to fight back the tears that were stinging into your eyes. You hear the leaves on the ground begin to ruffle as the man took steps towards you.

''Can I hug you?'' asked the man, his arms wide open.

 You didn't even respond and turned towards him, practically throwing yourself into his arms. As soon as you felt his arms embrace you closer to him, you couldn't hold it in any longer. The tears started to stream down your face and you just let it all out. The man constantly whispered, ''it's okay..'' whiel softly rubbing his hand around your back.

 You knew you couldn't sob forever, but it felt like you could at the time. But your sobbing eventually ended, and when you were done crying, you broke the hug. The man looked at you. You looked at him and saw that there were streaks of tears down his cheek.

''If it isn't too much to ask,'' he sighed, looking down. ''who did you lose?''

''My best friend.'' you responded. ''She killed herself.''

 The man stayed silent and looked over at the tombstone with the words, ''rest in peace sweet angel.'' and a picture of her on the tombstone.

''She looked beautiful.'' he pointed out.

''She was beautiful,'' you sighed in despair. ''but she never believed that she was.''

 Those words broke his heart, he couldn't imagine what you were going through. Having a best friend commit suicide, it was just unbearable to him to see you this way.

''Well.. I was going to out for lunch.. would you maybe –if you're up for it– like to join me?'' the man asked, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his black pants.

 You were hesitant at first, but as you raised your eyes up to meet his baby blue eyes, you saw that he had a real concern for you. You wiped away the tears that were still lingering on your cheeks and nodded. ''I would love too.''

 The man nodded and told you to follow him.

''By the way, what's your name?'' you asked, kicking around the leaves that were on the ground. ''Mine's (Y/N).''

''Steve Rogers is my name,'' he responded. ''Steve Rogers.''

''That's a cool name.'' you chuckled lightly, beginning to feel better.

''Thanks,'' steve smiled. ''and (Y/N), I want you to know if you need to talk about anything, know that I'm here to listen.''

''Thanks Steve,'' you blush lightly. ''same goes for you.''

 And from there, you instantly felt a spark go off between you two. A start of a brand new friendship was bound to happen, and you couldn't wait.

The End
