A proxy. That's a good way to look at it. That's what Steve has been missing since arriving in the Nexus. not a replacement for Bucky, but at the very least a guy friend that understands him. As much as he likes Amelia, Verity, Samus and the rest...he's needed this. not being alone is so powerful a need.
"I'll have to try 'em." Steve likes the comfortable silence that settles over the pair while they inhale their breakfasts. Hey, gotta eat it while it's hot. That's half the point, right? When Steve's done he'll gather up his dishes and drop them off in the sink before heading over to his dining room table and picking something up to bring back with him. He waits until Matt is done and then sets what feels to be a piece of cardboard in Matt's lap.
"I'm not terribly good at it yet, but...tell me what you think." and as Matt 'skims' it over with his fingertips, he'll find that Steve has made the Brooklyn Bridge (2 dimensional sadly) out of match sticks, chopsticks, and other bits of wood he's split and shaved carefully into varying thicknesses to mimic the pieces of the infrastructure. "Tactile art. I bought a whole bunch of audio books on it and was testing them out to see if they were any good."
