she's usually not one to complain -------- at least she doesn't think she is. sure; she's had her moments in the past where she'd gone and let the mix of frustration and her temper get the better of her, but she likes to think she's gotten better at that. now though ----------- she's trying desperately to keep her mouth shut without chewing a hole in her cheek.
the comm light keeps blinking, and they both know who's waiting there on the other end of the line for their report. the last person she wants to talk to right now is nick fury, and she hopes that steve can see just how done she is simply in the way she looks at him.
( she has to wonder if he knows how many times she's gotten her hands dirty for him ------ to spare him having to do something that might reflect poorly on that star - spangled image that means so much to so many people. for as much as she likes to tease him about being a walking advert for hot dogs and apple pie or swearing she hears yankee doodle every time he speaks, she gets it. )
❝ don’t say i never do anything for you. ❞ @intohero says with a sigh as he glances from her to the flashing light on the dash. her nose crinkles as she exaggerates the smile she gives him in return, knowing that while the scales may not be even in her eyes, he's gone and tipped it a little bit more so.
"be sure to tell him i don't say hi."

@intohero asked: " i'll walk you home. "
simping softness prompts.
HE IS ABOUT TO DECLINE. BE POLITE. the way to his home, he knows it well and while this is hell’s kitchen and maybe a blind man shouldn’t walk alone ( he is no easy prey though, he feels everything, the vibrations on the ground, the gentle scent of everyone’s cologne ). all things consider, he is maybe a bit taken with the alcohol he had been taken that night and in the end, matt simply nods; cane on his hand and the other hand reaches for an arm, ruffled of a jacket tells him it’s being offered. “thanks. you don’t have to, you know?”

@intohero: what was it like for bucky after the fall having to realize that steve wasn’t going to come rescue him? was it even a realization or did he hold out hope as long as possible?
bucky is in a significantly different position being captured as a pow after the fall versus azzano; during the latter no one was really batting an eye if they died, either from the serum experimentation or overwork, and so he was fully expecting to die in there — but after the fall was when he realized he was intentionally being kept alive. and that changed a lot of things, for him: it meant hyd.ra had plans, and it also meant he had a chance of breaking out of there himself ... that was always sort of in the back of his mind in the beginning [ though how far he would have gotten: probably not very far considering he was still dealing with the loss of a limb ]. it would have been a shot in the dark for the team to go and try to look for the body [ and it wouldn’t have been a far fetched assumption to assume there would Only be a body for them to find ], and even if they did manage to pinpoint the exact place where he fell it would’ve likely been after hy.dra found him. so in a way he was never expecting to get rescued per se, but he had held out hope that steve and the rest of the howlies would have found wherever he was being held eventually, and take the base down just like all the other ones they’d destroyed before … and then they would be one step closer to the war ending for good. and if he had stayed alive until then, maybe they would have found him. except obviously, that day never came, and hy.dra continued to thrive — especially after steve’s death. while he very much refused to believe steve had been killed / thought it was faked to break his spirit, it still worked on him, and the brainwashing / torture methods became more effective. so after steve’s death, it wasn’t so much a slow realization that he would not come to rescue bucky as much as it was his hope fizzling out slowly & he began to forget steve more and more.

@intohero; young royals sentence starters (accepting)
Steve said: “you’re the only one here i feel i can actually talk to.”
He blinks up at the sky covered in thousands of stars; his sluggish brain needs some time until it registers Steve's words, and then it's only with great effort that he manages to let his head loll to the side so he can squint at his friend. Jesus, they shouldn't have told Shuri about their inability to get drunk because of the serum. The stuff she developed for them (because of scientific curiosity, as she had phrased it) is hitting hard. They're gonna be hungover tomorrow. But it's nice to lie here in front of his little hut, look at the stars, and talk while sharing a bottle of schnapps. It reminds him of the times they sat on the fire escape of their shitty apartment building after a long day at work.
Jeez, he still needs to answer, right? God, he's so wasted. "Why?" he manages eventually, clumsily patting at Steve's chest. "'cause I know you’re full of bullshit? 'cause I don't know their stupid references, same as you? Or 'cause I'm the only other white boy around with a tragic backstory, like you?"

𝟺𝟶𝟶 𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚘𝚖 𝚍𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚞𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚝𝚜. | @intohero said: "it's not going to be easy, you know."
HIS DISCLAIMER GETS A SMILE ----------------- it’s one she’s heard from him before. ( because they’ve been here before; had this same conversation more times than either one of them can probably recall. nothing they ever seem to do is EASY. and that’s how both of them seem to prefer it. ) that mentality of his --------- never being one to shy away from something when it gets too DIFFICULT, never able to turn his back on a cause because of the RISK that might be involved --------- it’s one of the things that drew her to him in the first place. and here she is, still by his side countless ‘not easy’s later.
he jumps in head first, and she’s never far behind.
“c’mon, steve,” she gives his shoulder a nudge from behind as she settles herself into the spot behind his right ear so they can share the screen he’s got up. “if i had wanted EASY, i would’ve done what my parents wanted, and gotten into law. what do you need me to do?”

"Y’KNOW, I WAS KINDA SURPRISED YOU DIDN’T SHOW UP WITH THEM,” she muses as she glances behind her with a grin on the semi - crowded street ------- having a conversation over an earpiece is nothing new; but having him walking a good ten feet behind her while they do is something they haven’t had to resort to in a while. ( she’s insisting on it, even though she wishes he could be up with her walking side by side ------------- he’s supposed to be RETIRED and keeping his nose clean, and even with that ballcap pulled LOW and those aviators on, he’s always a conspicuous figure in a sea of humanity. )
“seeing zemo instead of you was a bit of a disappointment.” an understatement --------- she’d wanted to punch him right between the eyes the moment he opened his mouth. but steve being here NOW could mean only one thing. “so much for retired life, huh?” / @intohero.

@intohero asked: ❛ i don’t want to talk about it . ❜
𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑩𝑼𝑻 𝑽𝑼𝑳𝑵𝑬𝑹𝑨𝑩𝑳𝑬 .
“WELL, THAT’S ALL GOOD. WE CAN JUST SIT DOWN IN SILENCE.“ better say than do, really. it’s more than obvious that there is something that is bothering him and perhaps, with the right push, he might find some release into what is exactly bothering him. she sits beside him, relaxing against the couch, a hand pressed to her cheek ( the one that isn’t currently bruised up after a fight she had a couple days ago ). “just hope that whatever is bothering you isn’t related to me, or anyone else who chose to follow you, steve. you didn’t force anyone’s hand.“ they all made their choices. she certainly had made her own. “because I would hate to scold you down for it.“

@intohero: [distracting kiss] them!!!
it’s not so uncommon for him to get a greeting kiss from steve as soon as he gets home, which is why he’s not so suspicious at first. in fact, it’s distracting enough that for a few seconds he forgets about the absence of the two other members of their household that should be fighting steve for his attention right about now. bucky means to pull away, to find them both and give them their own ‘i’m home’ kiss; but he doesn’t get far before his boyfriend is cupping his face in his hands, pressing their lips together again and—oh. okay. maybe they shouldn’t be doing this where charlie can pop her head in at any time, though. where is she anyway? one blue eye peeks open to scan the area just in time for him to see her from his peripheral—disappearing from the bathroom to the bedroom in a flash of blonde hair and pink fabric.
holding something suspiciously yellow in her arms. hm.
“steeeeeeeve.” bucky says into steve’s mouth.

@intohero asked:“ i’d stay if i could, i promise. ”
morning after starters
“I’M NOT TAKING THIS PERSONALLY, CAPTAIN. I UNDERSTAND.“ he speaks, zipper a bit too loud for his taste in the morning as he zips his jacket over bare chest and joins in the quiet steps. “at least you didn’t sneak out. which is what a lot of people would do. you know, the walk of shame.“ a short pause, as a hand brushes, rather awkwardly, amused perhaps too, the back of his neck. “though there is nothing to be shameful here. I had a great time.“ he nods, the mask of his glasses is forgotten on his nightstand so brown gaze is still but directed at the soldier as he shift his head to where that steady heartbeat is. “I might want a repeat. If you want.“

@intohero asked: if i didn't know better, i'd think you were hiding something.
you on lifetime/netflix sentence meme.
“NOW, WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT CAP? I’M A SAINT. “ a lie. he is hiding something. perhaps he did lied on his report and said that he wasn’t as injured as he thinks. but he is already bandaged up and moving along. “you want someone to watch your back, i’m your guy. and you need me. no one else seems to be free. but I am.“ he will just take a few more painkillers and suck it up and deal with the consequences later with a bag of beans over his side. “it’s nothing I haven’t handle before, cap. trust me.“
