AU where Steve and Sharon are on a date (sometime after cacw), but Steve just can’t stop thinking about Bucky all alone in his lil ice tube so he’s just like “I’m sorry, this just isn’t gonna work, I have somewhere I need to be” and takes off to chill (pun intended) with Bucky.
He paces, talks aloud and draws in Bucky’s (tube) room. He starts spending most of his free time there, catching up on movies, exploring music and saving things he thinks Bucky would like when he gets out... Sometimes he’ll move Bucky’s tube to the window so he can have the sunlight. Even if he can’t feel it. And when he leaves, he keeps a lamp on. It doesn’t do anything but Steve never wants to leave Bucky in the dark anymore.
