[Steve’s laugh is just about the best thing ever. It really lights up his face, makes him look brighter and happier. Bucky kind of adores it, adores the fact that he gets Steve like this. It’s special, warm and unique and happy, a softness in his eyes that’s been all too rare lately.
He wouldn’t mind being the one who brings that happiness back to Steve.
He leans quite happily into Steve’s caress, a content look painted across his expression. And he can’t hide the shiver that runs down his spine when Steve lingers against that bruise, re-igniting the feeling of having received it in the first place. It’s probably pretty clear that Bucky wouldn’t mind sporting a few more, and on a pretty regular basis.]
Of course I’m right. It’s me.
[Really, does Steve expect any other kind of answer to a statement like that?!? Bucky’s just so happy though, and part of his happiness is in teasing, because they’ve always pushed and challenged each other. Being together like this isn't going to change that one bit. Especially when he sees the warmth in his friend’s expression, the happiness reflected there. What they have now is something that maybe they’ve always had, and they just needed to both be in the right place for it. That’s a comforting thought: that for as hard as their lives have been, they have something precious now.]
Though I have to say— [his smile turns a little wicked] —that I wouldn’t mind if you decided to instigate again.
