Sam\'s neighbors and the spiderkids are both gossipy shippers. Sam and Bucky snark a lot at each other and eventually actually deal with their sexual and romantic tension.

Eventually they put together a proper Team Captain America and start to deal with emotional trauma through humor and questionable decisions.
