    Summary

    “That looks broken,” Bucky says, with a nod at the stranger's face.

    “I’m fine,” the man glowers.

    Bucky can't help but smile at his surliness. “Whatever you say, lone ranger.”

    It takes another moment, but eventually, the cracks a tiny smile of his own. He wipes his hand on his faded jeans and holds it out to Bucky. “Steve,” he says.

    Ignoring the residual blood, Bucky takes the proffered hand, which is big and warm. “Nice to meet ya, Steve,” he offers with a crooked grin. “Name’s Barnes. James Barnes. But of course, everyone calls me Bucky.”

    Summary

    Bucky bites his bottom lip, trying to find the right words to explain this to Steve but coming up short. “Sometimes I just like to feel – pretty. You know?”

    Steve looks very serious when he says, “You look plenty pretty to me, Buck. Always have.”

    And Bucky knows he means it. He can see it in Steve’s eyes every time he looks at him.

    “I know,” he says softly. “But I just like making myself look nice. There’s something about the process, the pampering, the grooming… I can’t really explain it, I just know it makes me feel… good. About myself.”

    “Okay,” Steve nods. “That’s great, Buck. You should do whatever makes you feel good.”

    Summary

    It’s not that Bucky doesn’t like his job. It’s just that, given the choice, he’d much prefer to start his working day around noon instead of at 8.30am. He’s never been a morning person – though to be fair, it’s not like he’s particularly an evening person, either. Sometimes he feels like he’s barely even a person. And yet, despite his distaste for early wake-up calls, Bucky’s favorite part of the day has to be his morning commute to work.

    Because every day on the 7.24am train, Bucky gets to see the man of his dreams.

     

    AU meet-cute. Strangers on a train, but with less murder and more sexual tension.

    Summary

    This is my contribution for the BBF2019, @hellyeabottombucky. Written for prompt #71 by Blu Skadoo:

    'Someone walks in on Steve topping the fuck out of Bucky. Can be more than one person walking in on them. Things that are up to you: canonverse/winter!Bucky&cap!Steve (or not), if the boys notice (or not), if they stop (or not), if the person (or people) leave immediately or stick around and watch until they're noticed, what kind of sex/if there's dirty talk, etc. Go nuts.'
