Twilight Love

1941

Brooklyn, New York.

The rainy season in Brooklyn lasts for more than half a month.

At the town health center, Bucky brought a piece of fruit to condolence to his brother who caught a cold and caused pneumonia.

The handsome and unrestrained Mr. Sergeant, wearing a neat military uniform, has attracted the attention of many women. He knows where his charm lies, and if he is on weekdays, he will definitely smile and flirt with the other party without hesitation.

However, this time he did not slow down, his face was a little tense, and he walked straight to the ward on the second floor.

In the ward, his good friend who had been inseparable since he was a child was lying there, but he looked good, not as sick as he imagined.

The hanging heart finally let go.

"Hey Steve, I'm only away for a few days, how do you get yourself into the hospital?"

Mr. Sergeant took off his military cap, hung it on the coat rack, and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed carelessly.

"how do you feel?"

"It's fine if you don't talk loudly in my ear."

Steve smiled at him.

He knew that he pretended to say hello casually because he didn't want people to see his worry. Two days ago, when he was sent to the health center, he must have been notified immediately. After all, he had no one except Bucky. Any family members, while Bucky was training at a garrison 46 miles away at the time, were able to come over today to visit the sick.

In this era of shortage of supplies, if pneumonia is not properly treated, it will still be fatal.

"My parents freaked me out when they called me, but you look good now, tell me what's going on."

In order to let his friend feel at ease, Steve briefly described his situation. In fact, it was nothing. He was just sick and hospitalized. But it is worth mentioning that he met a good doctor who was responsible. Thanks to him, he was able to recover so well quick.

The two joked around for a while, and then a nurse came in to deliver medicine to Steve.

"Hey beauty, has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like Katherine Hepburn?"

After learning that his friend was safe and sound, Sergeant James returned to his original nature, took a bite of the apple he had just peeled, and winked at the female nurse who was giving Steve the injection.

The young lady nurse shook her hands nervously, allowing Steve who was lying on the bed to take a breath of cool air.

"I thought that apple was peeled for me."

Steve rolled his eyes helplessly when he saw the nurse leaving in a hurry with a blushing face.

Bucky paused in embarrassment, and then obsequiously handed the half-bitten apple to Faxiao.

Steve frowned, but took a bite anyway.

"Feeling better today, Mister Rogers."

At this moment, a handsome doctor came over, followed by his assistant, who was also his adopted son.

"Yes, Dr. Cullen."

Steve got up from the bed and nodded to his attending physician.

"Good day, Doctor."

Bucky also smiled and greeted the doctor he met for the first time. In his cognition, there was no concept of birth recognition at all.

"Good day, young—" The blond doctor glanced at Bucky's epaulettes.

"Barnes." Bucky announced his family name.

Carlisle then smiled and said, "Sergeant Barnes."

What a passionate guy.

"Thank you for saving my friend."

"You're welcome, this is my duty."

The doctor exchanged some pleasantries, and took the medical records from the boy behind him to examine his patients.

After asking some basic information, he smiled and said that if there is no accident, he will be discharged tomorrow.

Bucky and Steve looked at each other and laughed.

"So I can start planning a foursome date for the weekend?"

Bucky said happily that his new girlfriend Carliss was able to ask her little sister Lucy out on the weekend.

"You're playing this silly trick again."

Steve shook his head helplessly, wondering why his best friend was always keen to find him a date.

"Hey, come on man, I'm thinking of you."

Being a virgin at 20 is not a good thing to say.

Steve rolled his eyes and thought, don't you know that girls just stare at you on a date?Did you deliberately pull me as a foil?

The little theater in their heads seems to have caught someone's attention.

The boy who had been silent all this time gave a deep laugh behind the doctor.

Humans are really interesting.

That's when Bucky noticed the boy standing behind Dr. Cullen.

This kid doesn't look like a local, Bucky thought.

"This is my adopted son. He won't be helping in the hospital any longer." Dr. Carlisle seemed to sense Bucky's gaze, and moved away to reveal Edward behind him.

"Hello." Edward pursed his lips, as if he wanted to wipe away the smile just now, pretending to be relaxed and greeted him, and converted it into a vampire for 20 years. Now he can get along with "humans" comfortably, and Unlike at the beginning, I couldn't help but want to pounce on the opponent's throat.

Steve also met Edward for the first time. After all, you can't expect a vampire to be exposed to the crowd on weekdays.

The two friends looked at each other and greeted him happily.

"Doctor Cullen, are you from Europe?"

Barnes was referring to the accents of both men.

"That's right, we just came to America not long ago."

Dr. Karen chatted with the two young people for a while, and told them that he came to America with his family only after participating in the Red Cross. His adopted son was not in good health, so he didn't go out often.

Poor health?But the boy looked as strong as a buffalo.

Edward was not surprised to read Bucky's brain complaints.

The afternoon passed quickly, and finally Karen and his son had to go to another ward for inspection. Barnes also chatted with his friends, then bid farewell and left the hospital, and ordered that he must attend the dance three days later.

-

"Sorry, Dr. Cullen, I thought I was going to be fine soon." Steve said apologetically to Dr. Cullen who was taking his temperature.

"You shouldn't have gone out to blow air without authorization. I'm sorry I didn't remind you, but you know you have asthma." His doctor adjusted the infusion tube. "But don't worry, it's nothing serious, then you'll have to lie down for another two days."

Then he signaled Edward to pay attention to the infusion bottle, and turn off the switch after dripping to prevent the blood from flowing back, because the liquid in the bottle was almost exhausted.He left to get a new bottle.

Steve lay back on the bed annoyed.

Bucky will kill me if he finds out!Depending on the situation, I'm going to release his pigeons for the weekend and if he knows I'm not paying attention to my body, he will be very angry.

Bucky?

Edward on the side accidentally spied on Steve's care again, Bucky...does he mean Sergeant Barnes last time?

That big boy with eyes like emeralds is quite an apt name.

"Mr. Rogers, do you want to inform your friend?" Edward was referring to the fact that he could not be discharged in time.

Steve nodded blankly, then shook his head violently, and finally gave up and dropped his shoulders and nodded.

Edward seemed to see the entanglement of the other party, and said with a smile that the relationship between the two of you seems to be very good.

"We've been friends since we were kids," Steve smiles when he hears this. He doesn't have any family anymore, but he has Bucky.

When I had nothing, I still had Bucky.

……

What kind of feeling it was, the young Mr. Vampire couldn't tell.

During the silence, fortunately Dr. Karen came back.

-

The next thing can be imagined, Bucky was very angry, not because the weekend date of four people was going to be ruined, but more because the weak bean sprouts didn't take care of themselves.

And Steve, who was familiar with Bucky's temper, calmed him down for a while, and finally extinguished Bucky's anger.

"I have to go and apologize to Caris, oh my god, she's going to be pissed, God knows how long it took her to get her sisters to hang out on the weekend."

Bucky tugged at his hair worryingly.

"Perhaps you could invite someone else to come with you..."

Steve suggested quietly.

Who to invite?Colleagues in the barracks?Oh, spare him, the barracks are full of rough guys who only talk about politics and the military, not everyone is as funny as he is and can please girls.

If Kalis knew that she had found her girlfriend one date after another, he would be disgusted to death.

"Why don't you invite Edward to try?"

"Who?"

Barnes tried his best to search for the owner of this name. Is it their elementary school classmate, or a child who lives on the same street as them?

"It's Dr. Cullen's adopted son."

Steve has had a good chat with the other party these days. Edward is a restrained and humble person. He is young but has a wealth of knowledge and knowledge. It is undeniable that he admires this kind of person. .

"Come on, that handsome young man will definitely steal my limelight."

"Hey, are you worried that the status of the little social prince of Brooklyn will be shaken?"

Steve quipped.

"But I just want to go with you!"

……

Bucky sighed, waved his hand, motioned for the other party to take a good rest, and left.

Steve pulled up the quilt to cover his face, because of what the other party said just now, he showed a smile that didn't make sense.

-

The young sergeant left his friend's ward and staggered towards the door.

At this moment, he saw the young Mr. Karen sitting on a bench in the garden.

"Are you on your lunch break, Mr. Cullen."

Bucky came forward to say hello.

The young vampire raised his head and saw the young officer with Bambi's eyes, smiling in his green eyes.

It reminded him of that cute nickname—Luzai, which is really appropriate. The blood on his body smells sweet and pleasant like mint grass with dew in the morning...

Edward's keen sense of smell evaluated this "deer boy" and discerned the "palatability" of human blood. For a while, he enjoyed it very much, although he never sucked human blood.

He smiled and raised his hand to signal, inviting the other party to sit down beside him.

"Edward, that's my name."

Bucky was also polite and just sat down.

When the other party sat down, Edward seemed a little embarrassed. He hadn't been with "peers" for a long time. It should be said that after he was converted, he hadn't had direct contact with humans for a long time, so he had to chat with each other. Some irrelevant topics.

Bucky has always been a talkative person, even if the other party is a dull gourd, it does not prevent him from having a nice conversation with the other party.

Humorous without losing the youthful vigor, the boring content becomes lively and interesting from his mouth. This is Edward's evaluation of this deer cub.

People can't help but get close.

After several conversations, Bucky also felt close to this shy boy. He didn't have the common problems of impetuousness and arrogance of young people nowadays. Words don't make people feel rude.

This kid is not bad... Maybe he doesn't mind accompanying me to make up the number of people on weekends.

"Hey, look, there's a dance this weekend, do you want to go?"

As soon as Bucky said that, he regretted it. He felt that this request was a bit too abrupt. After all, he had invited Steve before, and the other party knew about it.

……

I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air...

Both fell silent.

"Well, I don't mean anything—"

"Yes, if you can, it's a great honor."

Edward said quickly, then lowered his head uncomfortably.

God, Carlisle won't agree. Although he can control his desire to drink blood well now, and Carlisle is also assured that he will gradually contact humans, but if he wants to go alone to a place like a dance party where there are mixed crowds, there is no guarantee that there will be no trouble.

"Great my friend! Then it's agreed to meet you tomorrow at Rindtplatz at 8pm!"

Bucky patted him on the shoulder happily.

friend...?Does he consider himself a friend...

Seems like a good thing.

My first "friend".

Edward, who originally wanted to repent and reject the other party, got a headache because of the other party's words, and nodded solemnly.

-

The author has something to say: In the original book, Edward’s ability is to read minds, he can read other people’s thoughts at the time, and he is not like Professor Cha who can make trouble (bah, cross out) brains, so there will be no cheating, etc. But the vampire's senses, agility, and physical strength are the existence of cheats!

The age of death (transformation) was 17 years old. After the conversion, because he did not want to drink human blood and received training to become a vegetarian, he should not have the opportunity to contact humans, let alone his peers.However, the appearance of Zhan Baji warmed his long-lost heart. Coupled with Baji's own charisma, Edward will naturally be attracted.

At this time, Steve is still the bean sprouts, and the first few chapters will not have much drama.

The Brooklyn chapter tells the story of their youth, with Captain America as the background.
