"We were a bit thick about it. Right partner was there th'whole time. Jerk who taught me how to do all th'dances I know back in our socks in that tiny kitchen. Who picked me up when I threw myself down at every chance of a fight."
Steve doesn't know how much of it Bucky remembers, but that's alright. Steve will remember it for both of them. Will be there every time Bucky slides backwards. Every time he has a bad night. Just like Buck will be there for him.
"Who was strong enough to fight hell itself to remember me." He whispers finally and slips his eyes shut because of course Steve trusts Bucky to be this close. He wants to remember the feeling of those lips on his cheek until the day he dies. "Forget the wolf and the captain. I just--we can be just Bucky and Steve again." That line he doesn't know if he can back up. Doesn't know if they'll ever be just BUcky and Steve again. They've both changed so much since those days. But it's a thought, and it's one that shows Steve's dedication to the other.
Then again, so does the featherlight brush of his lips against Bucky's.
"Love you...."
((Wow, okay I am not dead! I"m so sorry this took me a while to get to. I might have re-watched a shitload of MCU over this last weekend to get back into Steve's head proper too.))
