Steve had been enjoying his routinely midnight walk with Tank. The night air cooled him like no other, and it was a peaceful, long walk â one that was without the usual squabble and chaoticness of a typical day at SHIELD Uni. The courtyard was empty, as was everything else.  Only one or two people were out at this time of night, including Steve himself. So, for the most part, things were relatively calm.
That is, until the one and only Wade Wilson came barrelling into him, spilling all of the contents of his drink on Steveâs white shirt.
The blond took a moment to consider the situation (and the liquid currently staining the front of his shirt). Wade looked⌠drunk. Really, really drunk. The two of them were friends, of it not that, close acquittances. At least, Steve considered the other man to be a friend, despite their limited interactions and conversations. Now, however, seemed like a better time than any to bridge that gap.
âIf you hadnât been walkinâ âround with that bottle of vodka, I wouldnât have gotten it on my shirt.â A sigh was expelled as he looked down at his shirt again, soon followed by a gruff, âIâm sorry. You alright?â
Wade stared up at the large man in front of him. The bulkiness size of him, along with the equally big dog to his side indicated that he wouldâve gotten his ass kicked, had it not been Steveâs dopey face staring down at him.
âOh thank godâ He let out a shaky laugh. âI thought you were some meathead. Thank god. I was worried I was gonna get beat, and not in the good way.â He eyed the man with a suspicious look, not buying his whole story. âMmhmm, sure. Itâs my fault for walking. Sure.You were probably following me around, planning out how to discreetly steal my vodka! Youâre probably gonna go and share your shirt vodka with Bucky under the covers, arenât ya! People like you are gonna run this school to the ground, forcing me to buy whole new bottles until I can properly enjoy an entire one.â Wade rambled on, slightly forgetting where he was going with the âconversationâ.
His rambling was halted by Steveâs apology. âAww, buddy, Itâs all good.â He wrapped his arm around the others shoulder, partly to show forgiveness, partly because he felt like he was gonna collapse without his assistance. âWell buddy oâ pal of mine, besides being fucked six ways from sunday, Iâm peachy! How bout you?â
