Title: What We Talk about When We Don't Talk
Fandom: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Pairing: Steve/Bucky [Bucky-centric]
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 3300

(The thing with Steve is hard to explain. Words fail him most of the time now anyway.

Bucky has thought about it a lot and the best word he can come up with is tactile. Or grounding, maybe. Something about his presence that roots Bucky, anchors him down hard, and even though it should feel like restraints, it doesn't. The way Steve frowns at him when he's concerned, or sweeps Bucky's hair off his forehead--it feels like security. Touch feels safe.

Steve's hand always hesitates. So Bucky's pretty sure they're on different pages.)

(Not that he didn't love the future, mostly. So great in so many ways. He just wasn't getting the appeal of this particular aspect. He couldn't see himself getting whipped into a frenzy over some half-price electronics or clothing at fifty cents a bushel. Sometimes, he missed the dignity of the 1940s, the way people knew how to do without--

Was that a vintage-style soda fountain?)
