Captain America: The First Avenger
——————————————————————
When the United States joins World War II, lots of young men are desperate to join the military and fight for their country. STEVEN ROGERS was one of those young men.
But unlike his best friend, STEVEN ROGERS is ineligible for the Army, while JAMES BARNES is drafted right away.
But a several months before he was assigned his orders, JAMES BARNES had made a plan with his other best friend, Y/N L/N, who had been struggling to find a place to live since her brother had been drafted, that would get his parents off his back.
A marriage of convenience was the plan, so JAMES BARNES would be free from his family's pestering and Y/N L/N could have a place to live.
Neither of them minded it. The playful and occasional flirting banter wasn't a change in their relationship, and it was definitely absolutely platonic.
JAMES BARNES and Y/N L/N knew they didn't technically have to share a bed, or act like a couple at all, when nobody was around because their marriage was just for show. But they weren't going to acknowledge that if they didn't have to.
But a science experiment leads to STEVEN ROGERS becoming the world's very first super soldier, and Y/N L/N finally puts that college degree to use.
