( Memory from Bucky) 

It was spring of 2019. I let Rosie pick out my outfit, in return I would pick out hers. Her style was very clean and smooth. She was buttoning my shirt, she looked at the hickey she left on my neck as she did so. She left 3 buttons unbuttoned, the shirt she picked was a short sleeve button up shirt, and my jeans were blue. She rummaged through a jar, looking for rings 

"Y'know, for someone who has so many rings, you sure don't wear them" Said Rosie 

"It doesn't look well with the metal arm" I said 

"That's because you wear the rings on your metal hand, try the other hand." She said, she had 4 rings. She placed on on my right index finger, then one on my middle finger, my right ring finger, and the last one on my thumb. 

"Anything else?" I asked

"Maybe one more thing" She said, she rummaged through the jar again, she showed me a certain necklace i used to wear in the 1940's 

"What do you say..." She said, then she read from the tag on the necklace, "Sargeant James Buchanan Barnes." She read 

"Sure, why not" I said, she gave me the necklace and I put it on 

"Is this too much?" I asked 

"It's just right" She said, i kissed her

"Thanks, Doll" I said 

"I think you have a task now" She said, she was right. I did have a task, it was my job to pick what Rosie would be wearing. 

"This shouldn't be too hard" I said, as I searched through her shirts, one caught my eye. It was light yellow, i pulled it out 

"Try this." I said, i tossed her the shirt and she put it on (It was an off the shoulder shirt) 

"Perfect," I said, then I picked out a pair of white jeans, which she also wore, then I picked out a necklace, a pearl necklace that her mother used to wear. 

"Okay." I said, i looked at her, something was missing. 

"What is it?" She asked

"Do you have a hair tie, by any chance?" I asked, she pulled one off her wrist and gave it to me, "Would you mind turning around", she turned around and I pulled her hair into a ponytail 

"Okay." I said, she turned around 

"Anything else?" She asked

"Nope. You look perfect" I said, she blushed 

"Thanks" She said, i nodded and kissed her in the cheek
