[Captain America] Don't force me to grab a man with you

What can you do in a week?

Ingrid calmed down, instead of being as eager as before to remind the Winter Soldier of previous memories.

She thought about it for a while, but the time was too short. Rather than worrying about whether the Winter Soldier is Bucky, she might as well enjoy these 7 days.

The Soviets have a kind of resilience. Even in the face of the division of the Soviet Union, they still live optimistically. The prosperity of Moscow has shown Ingrid all this.

Like their partners in old age, they strolled in Moscow’s Sokolniki Park, and the enthusiastic Soviets introduced them to the most famous road in Sokolniki Park—the May Forest.

It was January 1991, 1. Ingrid and Tony came here during the coldest time in the Soviet Union. When it was deserted, there was only one church standing in the middle. As time passed, a church was built in Sokolniki Park. Wooden rotunda.

"You are late, the music master Tchaikovus held a concert here last week..."

Ingrid was smiling and looking at the locals who were chattering and introducing them to the park, and she felt a pinched touch on her hands.

"What's the matter, dear?"

Ingrid turned to look at the Winter Soldier pinching her fingers.

The Winter Soldier put on the clothes that Ingrid had prepared for him. Frowning, he grabbed the scarf around his neck with his other hand and kept pulling the scarf outward.

"Do you feel uncomfortable wearing a scarf?"

Ingrid reached out and adjusted the scarf tied around his neck for him, and changed the direction so that the side with fewer protruding needles faced his neck.

"Will it feel better this way?"

The Winter Soldier frowned, still looking dissatisfied, and glanced at her face, then quickly took off the scarf around his neck and wrapped it around her face.

Yes, it was wrapped around her face. Since Ingrid had already tied a scarf, there was no room for the scarf around her neck. The scarf could only be tied around her face, three circles on the left and three circles on the right, covering half of her face. Strictly.

"Wait... wait, I can't breathe now."

Ingrid tried to stop him.

"Your face is red..." The expressionless man gently grabbed her hand beside her, "And your finger, it's also red..."

"What do you mean..." Ingrid's next words were interrupted, and the heat from her fingers made her dazed.

The man carefully picked up her frozen red fingers, first moved them to his mouth and blew a few mouthfuls of hot air, and after finding that it didn't work, he put her fingers on his face and rubbed them lightly.

Ingrid, who understood the meaning of the Winter Soldier, froze for a moment, then laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm really not cold..." Ingrid spread out the fingers he pressed to warm her face, and slowly stroked the Winter Soldier's cheek.

"However, thank you very much."

The locals who were chattering just now disappeared without a trace, leaving them standing in the middle of the avenue.

"I heard that May is the best time to visit Sokolniki Park. At that time, the flowers in the park are in full bloom. It must be a beautiful sight..." Ingrid raised her head and looked at The bare branches behind the Winter Soldier, "Although the whiteness covered by snow is beautiful now, I think it will be much more beautiful then, don't you think so?"

"...are you listening to me?"

The man looked like he didn't listen to anything, and then took her hand and rubbed it on his face, leaving no corner of his eye for the surrounding scenery.

"It's hard to come out once, at least you should take a good look at the surrounding scenery." Ingrid tried to move her finger, trying to pull it out of his hand, but the Winter Soldier looked at her blankly, and then Like a cat protecting its food, it held her fingers tightly and moved closer to him.

"Enough, enough, dear, my hands are not cold anymore."

She twitched her finger, was pulled back again, and rubbed.

"Honey, I can't walk properly with you holding my hand like this."

No response, keep rubbing.

"..."

Ingrid, who had nothing to say, finally compromised under his tough attitude of trying to dawdle. She stretched out her hand and let him rub her fingers along the way. When she returned to the hotel she had booked near the park, she kept stretching for a long time. The moving arm was so sore that he couldn't lift it up.

And when Ingrid just opened the door, the Winter Soldier rushed into the room, looking back and forth around the room.

After looking around, he seemed to feel that enough was enough, so he sat back on the sofa and looked at her expressionlessly.

"I see···"

Ingrid resigned herself to picking up the phone beside the sofa, but before she could press the button on the phone, she was stared at by the cat, making her feel uncomfortable.

He didn't know when he was next to the phone, his face was expressionless, and his eyes didn't have any waves, but those blue eyes stared straight at Ingrid.

I can't hold it down at all!

"What do you want to eat?"

The man slowly turned his head, his eyes moved away from her body, and slowly moved to a certain point behind her.

Ingrid put down the phone in her hand, turned her head following his gaze, and then fixed her gaze on the door.

Perhaps in order to solve the problem that foreign tourists may not be used to local food, Soviet hotel suites are generally equipped with a separate kitchenette.

"I see, what do you want me to do?"

The Winter Soldier looked down, seemingly in thought.

Watching his movements, an ingredient suddenly flashed in Ingrid's mind for some reason.

"fish?"

Then he got a disgusted expression from the man.

"Oh... I forgot, Bucky doesn't like fish... I thought that after you lost your memory, your movements and postures will change, and your preferences will also change... You obviously look like a cat."

Ingrid muttered softly, and the Winter Soldier, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't hear what she said. He lowered his head and frowned, thinking hard.

"soup!"

The short nasal sound interrupted Ingrid's thinking. She didn't seem to expect to get this answer, and her eyes widened.

The Winter Soldier looked distressed, as if he was thinking about something carefully.

"Soup, the tomato sauce with butter and beef?"

The eyes of the Winter Soldier who got a satisfactory answer lit up and nodded.

It was the thick soup she had cooked for him in Venice.

Subconsciously remember?

Ingrid felt a little complicated.

"You stay here and wait for me, okay? I'm going out to buy... Forget it, let's go together." Ingrid's light blue eyes swallowed back the words of rejection silently, "What do you want to eat? Just point it out."

Moscow's vending market is not in Sokolniki Park, on the contrary, it is more than ten miles away from here, which means that they have to take the subway from the city center to the outskirts of the city.

"I didn't even think about buying ingredients, and I needed to take the subway."

In fact, the ingredients can be bought in a nearby supermarket, but Ingrid wanted him to eat dishes cooked with fresh ingredients, so the two bought two tickets and took the subway.

Because it happened to be a working day, and there were not many people on the subway line [-] where Sokolniki Park was located. In one carriage, besides Ingrid and the Winter Soldier, there was another Soviet couple.

They looked a little struggling, their clothes were washed white, and there were traces of black and blue under their eyes.

The young man and his girlfriend held a newspaper in their hands and drew on the newspaper with a pen. Then, as the train moved forward, the carriage moved up and down and swayed slightly from side to side.

Although they looked extremely tired, their faces were filled with a sense of happiness. While talking in low voices, they looked at each other from time to time, and then smiled.

The Winter Soldier narrowed his eyes, listening quietly to their conversation.

The conversations between lovers were quiet, but it didn't prevent him from hearing them clearly.

"Sleep for a while, Lydia, I will call you when we arrive."

The young man said and pressed the girl's head on his shoulder.

The girl smiled, leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Tracking Bucky's trail for a long time was also very exhausting. Ingrid, who hadn't had much rest, yawned, and then she found that the Winter Soldier was looking at her without blinking.

"what happened?"

Ingrid turned her head.

The Winter Soldier reached out his hand expressionlessly, and pressed Ingrid's head on his shoulder in a gesture that could not be refused.

"Sleep for a while, Geri, and I'll call you when we arrive."

"what?"

Ingrid leaned on his shoulder, squinting at the Winter Soldier.

His expression looked a little stiff, but his palm was still gently pressing her head.

"Don't forget to call me, honey."

Ingrid smiled and closed her eyes.

There were many more people selling the market than Ingrid had imagined, and walking out of the station, people were crowded together almost all the way.

And the Winter Soldier also became irritable at this time, clinging to Ingrid's back, intentionally or unintentionally fending off all the people who approached.

"Honey, don't be so nervous, I can't buy ingredients if you block it like this."

After the Winter Soldier heard her words, he turned his body reluctantly, leaving a gap.

Finally, after walking around the market, I finally bought all the ingredients, and the sky almost darkened.

On the way home, the Winter Soldier's complexion became a little better. However, maybe people would take this time to shop, and when the working people also got off work, the number of people in the subway suddenly increased.

The Winter Soldier's face darkened again.

"···Honey."

The Winter Soldier, who heard Ingrid calling, looked down at her.

"Can you step back a little so I..." Thought you wanted to kiss me.

There were a lot of people in the carriage, and Ingrid was taken to the corner of the carriage by the Winter Soldier from the moment she entered the carriage, and directly supported the walls of the car on both sides with her arms, enclosing her in the corner of the carriage, completely in harmony with her. Others are separated.

The two were quite close, and this posture looked almost like the Winter Soldier holding her in his arms. Looking at the ignorant Winter Soldier, Ingrid lowered her head a little dejectedly, and said in a self-defeating manner. .

"Forget it, it's nothing, let's continue like this..."

The Winter Soldier scanned Ingrid up and down for a while, and after making sure that she was fine, he tightened his arms around Ingrid and continued to stand still.

It took a lot of time to get off the subway, and finally arrived at the hotel where we stayed.

"You go take a shower first, I'll go to the kitchen to process the ingredients..."

The Winter Soldier nodded, turned and headed for the bathroom.

Ingrid, who was processing the ingredients in the kitchen, always felt a little worried, then put down the ingredients in her hand and sneaked into the bathroom to have a look.

The result was really about the same as she imagined.

The Winter Soldier stood motionless in the bathroom, looking at the faucet that controlled the water temperature.

Ingrid regretted her carelessness a bit. Except for the mission time, it was very normal for the Winter Soldier who stayed in the laboratory almost all the time not to know how to use the faucet to control the water temperature.

Ingrid suddenly felt distressed.

"I'll teach you..."

She squatted down, pointed to the two showers in the bathroom and said to him.

"There are two showers here, the upper one is fixed, the lower one can be removed and used, just press the raised button in the middle to control it, and the water temperature, there is a reminder here, and the red one here is Hot water, cold water comes out from the blue side, you can control it by twisting the faucet in the middle, do you understand?"

The Winter Soldier nodded.

"You try it."

Ingrid removes one of the shower heads.

The Winter Soldier turned the faucet sharply, and the cold water from the shower above sprayed them all over.

"Ok."

Drenched, Ingrid put the shower back in her hand.

"Since we're all soaked, why don't we take a shower together."

When taking a bath, the Winter Soldier is very well-behaved, squinting and sitting in the bathtub, enjoying the feeling of the hot water sprayed from the shower sliding over the skin.

Ingrid held the shower head in one hand, and pressed the other hand on the Winter Soldier's scalp, pressing gently.

His head rose and fell according to the force of the pressure, and his expression looked very comfortable. He turned his head from time to time to signal Ingrid to press the other side.

"Only at this time will I sit here obediently."

Ingrid tapped his forehead with a smile.

The washed Winter Soldier, wearing a bathrobe, had just left the bathroom and followed Ingrid into the kitchen.

"There is a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen, so go out and wait for me after you wash it off."

Ingrid pushed the man clinging to her body, and the Winter Soldier lowered his head, hugged Ingrid's waist tightly, and pressed his face against hers, rubbing against her again and again.

"Sure enough, I still remember a lot of things in my subconscious mind, but why do I only remember the clingy side?"

Ingrid sighed, twisted her body and started cooking the soup.

The Winter Soldier didn't realize how much inconvenience he would cause her to move by sticking to Ingrid's body, and still hugged her tightly.

When Ingrid was chopping vegetables, she had to be very careful not to accidentally cut herself or the Winter Soldier. This trip was more tiring than tracking Bucky's whereabouts.

Ingrid sighed, turning her head to look at the Winter Soldier who kept rubbing against her face.

"Why does it feel like raising a second little Tony?"

Complaining, she reached for the pot of thick soup.

Because of the momentary distraction, the range of movement was relatively large, the elbow collided with the back of the Winter Soldier's hand, and the hand holding the pot lost its balance instantly, fell to the ground, and all the hot soup splashed on Ingrid's hand.

The moment the soup splashed on Ingrid's hand, before Ingrid could react, the Winter Soldier reacted, quickly grabbed her splashed hand, and directly covered her with his bathrobe. Wipe off the remaining soup on it, then squeeze her hand and pull down under the faucet in the kitchen, turn on the faucet, and turn it to the cold water side.

Oh, forgot to mention, the faucet in the kitchen is the same as the faucet in the bathroom.

The Winter Soldier, who pinched Ingrid's burned finger and washed it with cold water, also seemed to realize this, his body froze, and he turned his head to look at Ingrid's face cautiously.

Ingrid smiled and glanced at the tap.

"It seems that in the future, I don't need to help you take a bath."
