[ When Bucky pulls back from the kiss, Steve is laughing. Maybe they're both crazy. It doesn't matter.
Even when he'd had nothing, he'd had Bucky. Those words had been so true, but more than that, when he'd had Bucky, he hadn't wanted for much more. Steve's never needed fancy things beyond maybe a little extra medical care. He's never wanted any of it. Living that modest life he'd lived with Bucky had felt like paradise once, even when he'd been cold and sometimes hungry, because he'd had someone with him who he could count on no matter. Money can't buy what they have.
His thumb keeps caressing Bucky's skin, moving down over Bucky's jaw until his fingers are playing over the bruise Steve had left on Bucky's throat. It will fade soon, but Steve can add more. ]
You might be right.
[ When his eyes move back up from Bucky's neck to his eyes again, there's something warm and happy there that he hasn't felt in a long time. He can't remember the last time he was so content, but there's a feeling of peace within him and he knows it can't last forever, but he's going to enjoy it this time. He's had too many missed chances in his life. This isn't going to be another one. ]
