[ Steve can't even manage to tease all that hard right now. He's too happy. Seeing all that contentment on Bucky's face is like the greatest prize for him. He remembers a time when he hadn't known if Bucky could ever really be okay again. He'd been so worn down and frightened and it had broken Steve's heart to see it.
Now, he's so thankful for these moments. Every little smile or relaxed moment for Bucky is a win in Steve's eyes. That he's the cause is even better.
It feels like they're so connected now and Steve wants to hold onto that as long as he can.
His fingers travel down to Bucky's shoulder, tracing gentle shapes there. ]
