EAT EM’, an shut up. ❞ OKAY, maybe they were a little ……….. crunchy; they’re still edible. with a minor hint of a charcoal on the taste buds. it just adds to the flavor ! a smile cracked, jovial & painted in old time fashion. & for a moment, it feels just like it used to be. when they were kids, stupid & idiotic & ignorant to the ways of the sinister world neither one of them asked to be chucked into. he can almost reminisce, but there’s something absent in his smile. it doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
bucky settles himself on the window-sill, watching the Wakandan sunrise as creeping filters of light begin to crack through the jungle surrounding their compound. strange, how the cards play out. the beautiful scenery has done little to obscure the reality of his situation, of their situation. because now he’s managed to drag others down with him, it isn’t just him running from the UN anymore. it’s STEVE. it’s the Avengers.
