"Alright..alright Stevie yeah you're right, I'll..I can look into classes when I get home, I promise," he assures him softly, kissing Steve's temple as he moves to set the fried egg on his plate and then turn off the stove.

He takes his own plate to the table before moving to get two glasses of water, coming to sit beside Steve as he was lost in thought for a long moment.

"I'm sorry Stevie..I know I could've..could've tried to get rejected too, for bein' queer. But I know that as much as both of us would like it if I could stay home, neither of us would really be happy with it. I would hate taking an easy out and I know you would kick my ass if I even tried," he points out softly.

But sometimes he can't deny that he's daydreamed about life if he had been able to stay, if they had been able to be together.

Bucky lights up, the idea of nieces and nephews was something he’d never thought of before and it would be real nice to have a big family, he wanted that not just from himself but for Steve too. Being alone in the world could be so exhausting sometimes and he liked that they had each other but it was be even better if one day they had more than that.

“You’re right, I gotta make sure I can secure my spot as their favorite Uncle Bucky,” he grins, letting is hip bump Steve’s lightly as they work together at the stove. “San Francisco huh? If that’s true, then we could definitely make our way there, find some normality with others that won’t think we’re..we’re doin’ anything wrong just by holding hands,” he reasons, moving to get a plate for Steve’s sandwich once it’s ready.

[brooklyn-duo]

Bucky's mind was reeling, he just needed a second to process everything. This was more than he ever expected and more than he can even properly fathom, and he wasn't sure how to feel. A part of him felt relief because he knows as long as he and Tony are together he'll never have to worry about anything ever, but then guilt because he shouldn't assume Tony will want to take care of him like that, so completely. But then he has to remind himself that Tony does want to, that this was real, that it wasn't just going to disappear, and he knows himself well enough that he would never be trying to take advantage of Tony so it wasn't a crime to feel relief at never worrying about how he could afford things like he had grown up doing.

He keeps his arms wrapped loosely around Tony, smiling at the soft way his hands ran over his sides and hips as they absently swayed together, listening to him explain.

"I promise, no matter what, I..I don't think you're buying my affection or that you're trying to make me feel indebted. I'm starting to really understand that it just..it just doesn't matter to you. Money is something you'll never run out of, or be worried about, so it doesn't matter. And I like the idea of planning dates and treating you as much as I can, but..I think after everything and now that you've really...really explained it, I'm not going to be so worried about putting you out or that you're wasting money on me. But I still like the idea of finding other things I can do for you, special. I mean..I already take care of you in some ways that can't really be bought," he grins teasingly, leaning down to steal another kiss, tender and just a touch deeper than usual, reminding them both of how it could be when they had their fun.

"Knowing you trust me it.." His eyes are shining happily as he preses a soft kiss to Tony's jaw as well, "it means the world to me sweetheart, that I've earned it.."

Bucky was having a hard time not just melting from Tony’s light touches, it was one thing when they were cuddling or after having sex but just casual light contact for no reason at all while he cooked? He doesn’t know how he’s ever gone without it for so long. He rests his head against Tony’s shoulder as he leans on him, getting the chicken in the baking pan with the tomato sauce and cheeses before moving to put it in the oven.

He knows in the scheme of things, Tony will do a lot more financially for them as a couple than Bucky could ever hope, but he knows that relationships are more than just who has more money and he’s slowly getting used to the idea. He was already coming up with his own ideas for things he could do that weren’t about the money, spending time with Tony in his lab was good for them both because it meant Tony didn’t have to worry about working too much and it was all so fascinating for Bucky even if he didn’t understand everything. The smaller dates would be fun, figuring out dates they could do at home too like movie dates or other ways that they can just spend time together. And the idea of taking him back to Brooklyn, to Coney Island, he loved that idea.

He was just standing up when Tony starts explaining about his property, and his eyes widen as he listens, it seemed like it was never ending. He can’t help but stare at Tony in shock, they had never talked about Tony’s wealth before and he knew he was rich but this was more than he had even assumed. He has to clear his throat before speaking, “Jesus Christ Tony I..I don’t even know what to say. I..not that any of that is bad! I just…I grew up on bases and in tiny ass apartments, living day to day working factory shifts before the war. I never…I’ve never even imagined anything close to all of that,” he admits sheepishly, knowing his reaction was probably embarrassing but he doesn’t know what else he can say.

“Christ doll, you’re fully spoiling me you know that? A Berry compote? I don’t know that I’ve ever even had that,” he grins, leaning against the wall and watching you, “I’m handy in the kitchen if you ever need an assistant, happy to help you”

Bucky Barnes + Knives

[brooklyn-duo]

“There was a fight. Someone was picking on someone else, I broke it up,” he says simply, standing still and still wary that he wasn’t exactly welcome, but not trying to run.

There was a reason he’d come back here and it wasn’t to break up alley fights, even if he was too proud to say it right away

Bucky’s strolling through town, looking for trouble. The sun is hanging low on the horizon, and the town is decently quiet, but trouble never slept. Just when he thinks he ought to go hit the hay, he sees a dark figure walk out of an alleyway. The figure doesn’t see Bucky, but whatever he’s doing doesn’t look like anything good. Bucky shouts after him, “hey, who are you?”

The figure turns towards the sound of his voice, and his face is concealed due to the sunset backlighting him, yet something seems familiar that Bucky can’t quite place yet.

@sheriffbuckybarnes

Steve is startled at being called out to and comes to a halt, turning with confusion at the familiar voice.

"What's it to you?" he asks gruffly, crossing his arms and standing his ground as he tries to place the face of the man before him in his memory, not wanting to let his guard down until he knew what he was after.

“You’re plenty special gorgeous, I suppose my favorite sweet thing has to be pancakes but that probably don’t count as baking. I do enjoy cakes and just any sweet things, I’ve got a raging sweet tooth..”

“Hey now, you know I’m more than happy takin’ care of you two. Of course I want you to finish your schooling and we can both work to support each other. I’d like that, me takin’ care of you and you takin’ care of me, ain’t that the dream?” he asks with a warm smile, stealing a light kiss before letting him move to pull the toast out.

“Perfect,” he grins, moving to put the over-medium eggs that were just finished onto the toasted bread before going on to make the last egg for Steve. He liked this, making food together, being able to make sure Steve ate at least a little something. He knew it wasn’t easy making ends meet when he was gone, he was under no delusions especially with how bare the kitchen was save for the food they’d bought last night. It didn’t take a genius to guess Steve was probably skipping meals and picking fights, as he was prone to.

“California would be a dream, away from the smog of the city, from the dust and dirt that sometimes feels like it fills the very air,” he agrees as he moves to sprinkle a little bit of salt over his eggs on his sandwich while Steve’s egg cooked, “and I hear you can even see dolphins and stuff sometimes, from the beaches,” he beams, enjoying the idea of being closer to nature.

Bucky was more than happy to give Tony most of his attention, luckily the cooking didn’t require too much thought so he could easily go between that and Tony.

He was half distracted by the kissing and the closeness, was this what being on cloud 9 felt like? But he does hear Tony’s suggestion and he nods almost immediately, “I like that idea, I really do. I know you don’t mind doing things so I don’t want to stop you but if I’m able to treat you too as much as I’m able, I’ll be happy. I’m already…obviously I’m already happy, being with you makes me happier than I’ve been in a longass time..” he says with a weak smile, kissing Tony’s temple lightly as one arm stays wrapped around him.

His metal arm keeps working on cooking, he didn’t have to worry about oil burning him or the heat being too much, and it meant he could keep his focus on Tony for the most part

“You’ve got plenty of fans in the city, not so sure how much people like me, I’ve tried to stay off the public radar since coming back from Wakanda..” he admits; going out in public during the day had been something he’s always been nervous about since breaking his conditioning. He didn’t do it too often, and he’s always tried to wear shades or hoodies to hide his identity. But it was going to be nice to get used to it with Tony, having some support and just generally not having to get used to it alone. Plus if anyone lashed out he wouldn’t be alone when he inevitably shuts down.

[brooklyn-duo]

Bucky puts the heat on the eggs low and moves to hold Steve from behind, resting his chin on top of his head as he tries not to get in the way too much so the toast didn’t burn.

“Yeah, war profiteering is something else, I don’t understand how anyone couldn’t want to make money off a war especially like this, but his work is genuinely unbelievable sometimes from what I’ve seen. And who knows, maybe the profits from the expo is meant to go towards his work, towards the war effort,” he reasons absently, blushing deeply when Steve insists that he’s smart enough to work with Stark.

“I dunno Stevie, I know I like the stuff, I could spend all day listening to them talk about new inventions and advancements, but I dunno if I’m smart enough to actually work on them,” he admits, he had never had the most confidence in himself academically, not like Steve always seemed to have in him, “I have been pretty good though when I worked at the factory, sometimes I could figure out when a machine was malfunctioning or something like that..”

Plus if anyone lashed out he wouldn’t be alone when he inevitably shuts down.

Bucky can’t hide his blinding smile, even as he dunks the chicken into eggs and then breadcrumbs to coat it properly, because everything Tony said sounded like a dream come true. “I never thought I’d like the idea of being spoiled like that but it’s different with you Tony. Even when I was stressing over ways to do things for you, its not because I felt like I owed you or like I had a debt to pay. You were perfectly happy to do those things for me and I wanted to figure out what I could do for you, because you’re right it’s about give and take. I’m glad you mentioned that you enjoyed the idea of someone cooking for you because honestly I used to do a lot of the cooking back before the war,” he explains absently as he washes his hands of the eggs.

Somehow, just the agreement that this was real, it was ‘official’ completely unlocked something within Bucky that he already felt freer with his affection. He steals a light kiss as he passes Tony to take the plate of breadcrumbed chicken to the stove on the other side of the counter where Tony was leaning.

“Fancy places? Jeez..I’ll have to come up with something better to wear than the hoodies I’ve already stolen from you,” he grins, knowing he was still wearing Tony’s MIT hoodie from the other day.

“You’re right though Sugar, there’s plenty I want to do with you, sappy old-fashioned things that I know you’ll tease me for but I don’t care. I want to take you for milkshakes at my favorite spot in Brooklyn, I had looked it up the other day just out of curiosity and it’s still open. It’s a diner instead of a soda shop but the shakes should still be just as good. I like the idea of a picnic, we could never have gotten away with it before but people are more accepting now, right? We won’t…we won’t get into any trouble for going on a picnic together,” he says hopefully

[brooklyn-duo]

Bucky puts the heat on the eggs low and moves to hold Steve from behind, resting his chin on top of his head as he tries not to get in the way too much so the toast didn’t burn.

Bucky doesn’t dare answer Steve’s teasing question, knowing that if they had gone down that route that there was a chance someone would get bent over the kitchen table before the eggs were even done frying and he couldn’t even say for certain that it wouldn’t be him. He can’t put to words how much he loved Steve pushing him. It was something no one else had ever done, sure Steve didn’t mind when he took the lead sexually but he pushed Bucky in a way no one had before, and it made Bucky weak in the knees for him. It was easy to forget Steve’s size, his medical issues, when he spoke to him like that, it made it feel like they were really equals in every way.

“He really is, I’ve heard that he’s working with certain divisions of the military, helping develop things I think to help with the fight against the Nazis. I never saw him, and it makes sense that it probably is with other areas of the war than the basic training, but I bet he’s comin’ up with some great designs especially more advanced weapons,” he reasons, flipping the eggs so that they could be over medium for his sandwich.

“I bet there’s going to be all kinds of inventions that the public can benefit from after the war, it’ll really be so different..”

[brooklyn-duo]

We won’t…we won’t get into any trouble for going on a picnic together,” he says hopefully

Bucky’s mind is reeling at how quickly things were changing, would it always have come so easily? Had he been agonizing for nothing for weeks, thinking that even suggesting more would break the fragile happiness they had, had it all been so completely wrong?

His mind is silenced once again by that soft, last kiss once Tony says okay, and before he can start wondering again, he hears Tony say that he’s Tony’s boyfriend now and that it was official. Bucky, despite his flushed cheeks, lets out a soft chuckle, keeping one arm looped around Tony’s waist to keep him from pulling away too far at least right now. “If you’ve been half-assing things the last few months, I have to wonder what it means for you to be..full-assing shit now,” he teases, kissing Tony’s cheek before finally letting him step away so he can go back to making their meal.

“I know this isn’t gonna change shit about how you are when you work, I know you’ll still be just as busy really. But I like coming down to your lab with a book, keeping each other company while we work on whatever we want to, and then being the one you curl up with for the night? I hope that doesn’t have to change,” he admits as he gets the oven preheating before beginning to prepare the chicken to fry.

“I bet there’s going to be all kinds of inventions that the public can benefit from after the war, it’ll really be so different..”

"You punk, you and I both know you love messin' with me, even if we are going to wait until tonight," Bucky smirks, clearly pleased to see Steve flirt with him. He'd never seen the blonde flirt before, unlike himself. He knows Steve has seen him flirt before but it was always empty, meaningless even, especially once he had realized how he felt for Steve. Flirting was about keeping up appearances for a long time and now with Steve it set butterflies fluttering in his chest every time they teased each other.

Bucky nudges the whites of the eggs to see how much they had left to cook, "I know, me too, when I heard about it and found out I had leave this weekend, I couldn't wait to go with you. I heard rumors that there might be a flying car? I don't even know how they would get that to work but holy shit, that would be fun to see," he grins, unable to hide his giddy smile because he'd never been to an expo like this.

Bucky had just dried his hands when Tony comes into the kitchen. He was honestly bracing himself for the worst, for Tony to tell him that this had been fun but this was getting too serious and too heavy for him and that he didn’t want to let it go farther. So when he’s turned around, the surprise is clear on his face. He doesn’t know what Tony means by ‘we should just do this’ because he wasn’t trying to get things to change or to put a label on it, but his cheeks were starting to flush as he started to get an idea. Then Tony promises not to go anywhere and he’s kissing him, kissing him so fiercely that it pushes any and all thoughts out of Bucky’s head except for the feeling of his lips on his.

His arms automatically move to wrap around Tony’s waist, pulling him close and kissing him back fervently as he tries to chase the taste of his lips even if Tony wasn’t exactly trying to get away. He only pulls away enough to breathe when he’s running out of air, pressing their foreheads together as he gasps and tries to catch his breath. “I’m not going anywhere either, you mentioned before that…that it would be me that walks away but i ain’t gonna do that Tony, not…I’m not goin’ anywhere,” he promises softly, pulling him into another, softer kiss. One hand slides through Tony’s hair as he presses close, his body lightly trapping Tony between him and the kitchen counter.
