‘ houston i have so many problems ’

“yes...and?” he took a drink from one of the glasses he’d...borrowed from tony’s cabinet. don’t worry about the liquid inside it, it’s definitely not top shelf, why would you ask? “if you want help, gotta ask nicely.”

‘ what, with all due respect, the absolute fuck  ’  

he didn’t look up from his phone, nonchalantly tapping every few moments. his metal hand continued to rub behind alpine’s ears. “’s a cat.” the feline mrrped gently at the mention. he’d spent half an hour trying to get himself comfortable around alpine, since apparently every cat needed to be treated as if they were bastet herself. the white fur would be stuck on bucky's clothing for weeks. “we’ve seen them before, steve.” bucky couldn’t help the laughter that tried to wind itself through his voice.

anyway who’s gonna hold bucky’s metal hand, draw shapes onto his palm, or gently kiss his knuckles

[winterstcr]

he's raving over a topic he actually gives a shit about, really getting into it with passion in his voice and body animated to match, and not paying attention to the fact that in his enthusiasm he's made a grab for bucky's hand, interlacing their fingers while keeping up the fervent rambling.

sam was incredibly endearing when rambling.

his movements and voice became wrapped with an energy that only he could bring to the conversation. it brought passing glances towards him when strangers caught movement in the corner of their eye. it almost made bucky feel pride over the fact he was lucky enough to experience this behavior on a normal basis. 

it gave him the ability to focus on something that wasn’t silence, to constantly remember exactly why he had fallen in love with sam in the first place. his energy was both contagious and comforting. it allowed bucky to feel like a bit like a security blanket was constantly available. especially when sam grounds the soldier with physical contact.

their fingers intertwined instantly, warmth welcome in bucky’s palm. he looked down at their hands purely out of instinct. rough skin offered such a soft touch that buck hadn’t even thought he’d feel again. his thumb brushed over sam’s knuckles as he stared. it was hard to tear his eyes away. something so small, so casual, was so so important to the soldier.

he felt the entire world around them essentially melt away as his attention focused entirely on sam. nothing else mattered. this man was his grounding force. through everything that had happened since their paths crossed, from a brainwashed soldier attempting to kill him to the two of them being the last two fighting behind the iconic shield, sam was still there. still willing to be by his side no matter what else they happened to face.

bucky squeezed sam’s hand during a brief moment sam stopped to breathe. an easy way to remind sam that he was listening, was holding onto every word. but also an easy way to remind himself that this was real. this was what he got to wake up to and live with every day. he was human. he was here. and that’s all bucky really needed.

bucky grew up in an era where excessive pda was mostly frowned upon. sure, technically, you could get away with making out with your partner on a street corner, but someone better be wearing a uniform if you didn’t want the older folks around to stare at you like you had the plague.

due to this, bucky’s main pda habits are fairly subtle. he’ll place gentle kisses on your temples, cheeks, or forehead depending on where you’re at. he’ll only do a deep kiss in public if it’s a serious moment or he’s emotionally compromised for whatever reason.

usually, however, he busies his hands with yours. fingers lacing with yours. thumb tracing over your knuckles. shapes drawn on the back of your hand or your palm with digits that shouldn’t be as cold as they are during a summer afternoon. he finds a comfort from it, yes, but it’s his foolproof way to show affection on a level others wouldn’t notice or think about.

it grounds him while also allowing him to remind you he cares, as he doesn’t often do it for someone he doesn’t personally know or care for.

winterstcr·:

not to be nsfw on main but

be soft with bucky. run your fingers lightly over his scars. play with his hair. press your lips to his metal knuckles. help him fall asleep on your shoulder. let him rest his chin on your shoulder when he hugs you. patiently allow him to run his fingers over your palm when the sensors in his prosthetic need to recalibrate after a mission or detecting a large change in temperature. 

be soft with bucky.

additionally

let him bring you a cup of coffee in the morning. sit with him in silence when he’s bringing himself back from his memories. laugh along with him as he sits in the rain long enough to get a cold. catch the glint in his eye as he runs a hand over a motorcycle and convinces himself more than you that he doesn’t need it. let him rest his fingers on your wrist to feel your heartbeat after he wakes up from a nightmare that felt all too real.

remind him he’s human and not just a weapon.

‘ hi i’m here to ruin everything ’

"you don’t ruin everything.” bucky held an indifferent look on his face as he pulled fries out of the bag sam brought home. “you’re like a red wine. you have a lovely, full taste with depth that only ruins some things when spilled on clothes and furniture.”
