Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, CA
We had a delicious Italian feast at il Pastaio while sitting behind an F-list celebrity/author at the restaurant (Molly Bloom).
Rhine ordered one of their most popular dishes, the Paccheri alla Justin Bieber (yes, it’s the vodka sauce pasta that Justin Bieber always orders when go goes there) LOL. Daniella ordered the spinach and ricotta ravioli which was also very tasty!
*Side note that everyone already probably knows....everyone in and around the Beverly Hills/Roadeo Drive area is incredibly “boujee” and fake.*

tbz as vampires ☽
↬ synopsis: imagine the boyz as a vampire clan
↬ genre: headcannon, crack kinda
↬ requested? nah just something for fun :)
Tumblr media
sangyeon ☽
 put some respect on his name - he’s a badass
 used to be a vampire hunter before he was turned
 family business kind of thing but then he fell in love with a vampire
 she changed him and they were together for a while
 but then she disappeared and to this day he doesn’t know where she is
 took him centuries to gather his own clan
 tells them he hates them constantly but lowkey loves them
it’s easy for him to control his hunger unlike the others and can go sometime without either animal or human blood
knows every vampire lore and every legend
he wants to save every young vampire he can from the brink like he’s done many of the boys
daddyvamp!sangyeon is a mood mmkay
jacob ☽
angel of death they call him
the fallen angel who chose his fate
either be a vampire or be killed
it’s obvious what he chose
one of the oldest and may seem sweet at first
but don’t let it fool you
he’s the best at entrancing humans to their mansion,
with just his voice, he packs their parties and gives the members many to choose from
and extra for dessert
has graduated high school and college so many times they started up a collection - he’s only missing a gold cap and a velvet one
breaking hearts is his favorite pastime - literally and figuratively
he looks harmless, innocent and sweet
but there’s an alluring, dark and haunted shell of his old self that remains
is probably the one you should watch out for the most
younghoon ☽
it’s rumored he used to be a prince of a small kingdom
the history books say he ran away, disappeared
but really he was attacked by a vamp who had gone wild
he had been changed by changmin to save his life
he’s broody but is always watching out for his brothers and anyone associated
high maintenance af
still has trouble adjusting to the vampire life even after all these years
likes to people watch and see people oblivious to the monster that’s near
lowkey wishes to have his own family one day
especially after he saw the Addams Family for the first time with kevin
highkey has to mention the movie at least once in conversation
kinda winging the vamp life, really just chilling
hyunjae ☽
the embodiment of a scary mf
he is one of the only ones that don’t remember their life before
and he isn’t concerned
looks like the poster child for vampires
ripped black jeans, coats and cloaks
strict human blood diet
strong and perfect and pretty
and with just one look and he’s got you hooked
life of the party and is the king of body shots
he’s always serenading people, mostly for the hell of it and enjoying the gifts they shower him in
kinda spoiled
perfectionist and doesn’t believe in procrastinating
highkey wants to be the king of vampires but it’s only a dream - for now
juyeon ☽
lowkey has a dracula shrine, has seen every dracula movie known to man
can probably recite them if you ask
thinks twilight is a comedy
always has a s/o on his arm, dead or alive, they are entertainment regardless
lets everyone know he’s a vampire and barely hides his fangs
has a tongue piercing he’s very proud of
used to have a lip piercing too but lost it during a hunt one night
hella salty about it
he always acts so cool, like he da baddest
but really just dorky and likes to gush about random things
never seen without leather, claims he feels incomplete without it
kevin ☽
the artsy reminiscent vamp
was a artisan in the renaissance, but a rival had tried to kill him
he was saved by sangyeon, and although he despises his life, he is forever in debt to sangyeon
once fell in love with a human, he had done his best to protect them but only from afar,
he watched them grow old before his eyes and sometimes you could catch him sketching their face every now and then
can be quiet and sulky
but actually a wild boii
parties with jacob and the younger vamps all the time
drinks red wine and only his own - has a vineyard in the backyard
chanhee ☽
bad and boujee plays every time he enters a room
kinda lazy
pale af and brags about how dead he is and looks
Fashion king, has stolen wardrobes from royals for the last two hundred years so his closet is a gold mine
he does go out, he’s always got a black umbrella cause he extra like that
likes his food to be brought to him, not really all about the hunt like he used to as a young vamp
but if the younger vampires need a guide, he’s always down for some fun
changmin ☽
charming and sickly sweet
he switches between animal and human blood, but prefers human blood highkey
he lives pretty normally, the only indication of his vampirism is his eyes and pale skin
but homeboy got a dog and watches dramas in his free time
and charms everyone in the night clubs on saturday nights
likes to go shopping with chanhee at least once a week
he is one of the members to entertain guests
good at picking out what humans are the best candidates for feasting
he remembers most of his past life, like being a prince and all, but not exactly how he died
he’s saved many lives though
like younghoon for ex. who he knew from childhood 
likes to believe he’s just doing something nice
but high key doesn’t really care much about the world
unless you’re in his inner circle, he really has no regard for you
haknyeon ☽
 his body count exceeds everyone else’s
the top hunter besides hyunjae
if anyone has perfected how to lure a human, its hak
maybe it’s his dazzling smile or
the innocence in his speech and the honeyed voice that makes you feel like home
he’s mastered delusion, making people see whatever they want to and he uses it against them
always salty that human food tastes like nothing
that’s one of the two things he’s misses about his human life
the other is his family
he doesn’t talk about his family much, just because he was the only one not murdered
the only one he would dare to talk to about them is sangyeon and that’s usually when he’s had a little too much
kinda sad
but he’s always ready to entertain anyone who dares to talk to him
hwall ☽
prince of the night, king of the shadows
he doesn’t remember his past life but he’s spent most of his vampire life looking for it
black is his only color - velvet red only for christmas
gots lots of tattoos - every tattoo holds a story that only he knows
long legged king
wears these spiked heeled boots for his shitty days
always got a different body occupying his bed each night
kinda a player but lowkey about it - you know he got a rep to protecc
sunwoo ☽
has a bag of blood every morning and counts his calories
can always find him checking himself out at least once a day
has charmspeak, can talk his way out of anything and get you to do anything he says
hates more than anyone not being able to go into the sun
has paintings of the sun all over his bedroom
he’s the best at keeping the peace between the vampires and other clans
has got like his hoes and side hoes who give him blood so he doesn’t have to hunt too often
plus he always know their medical history and blood work
probably the most normal other than changmin
eric ☽
sings jack’s lament from the nightmare before Christmas whenever he’s feeling melancholy about being dead
when sunwoo tells him to shut up, he just sings louder or more like screams
his coffin is covered in graffiti and cool art drawings that Kevin helped him with
sangyeon damn near cried seeing the ruined mahogany wood
he hated hunting at first, he starved harshly in the beginning because he refused to kill anything
so he had to forced fed bags of blood by his elders until he gave in
he still cries sometimes after a kill
but sometimes he enjoys the hunt, he finds sport in it
dyes his hair like all the time
dresses up as a vampire for Halloween for shits and giggles

If I missed any tag requests, I apologize!!
*IF YOU WANT TO BE ADDED OR DELETED FROM THIS LIST, DM ME*
*****************************************************************************
Where do they go from here?
****************************************************************************
“Oh my god!” Levi screeched, dancing at Bucky’s side. “I love it, thank you!” She hugged the huge stuffed Stitch doll to her chest and buried her face in it.
Bucky grinned, reaching over to pat the alien’s head. “You’re welcome, doll. But I’m the Winter Soldier, I would have had to hand in my man card if I’d bombed a carnival game.”
Levi beamed back, then stopped strangling Stitch long enough to hug Bucky unexpectedly and his stride faltered as her enthusiasm knocked him off balance. She’d zeroed in on this Stitch doll right away and Bucky had become personally invested in winning it for her. He was just relieved he’d driven his truck tonight, because he wasn’t sure if Levi’s newest toy would even fit on the bike.
Watching Lev tonight at the fair was contagious. She was so youthfully excited, so innocent in her honest enjoyment that Bucky found he couldn’t stop smiling. She skipped along beside him, looking nothing like a highly trained Avenger and Bucky realized that there was precious little he wouldn’t do to see this side of Levi, see her smiling and so joyful, all the time.
“You want to share a funnel cake?” Levi asked, head on a swivel. “Or maybe a deep-fried Snickers bar?”
Bucky chuckled and looped an arm around Levi, drawing her close for a loud kiss on her temple. “You make me so happy, doll.” He blurted and then wasn’t even embarrassed, because she did, and he was tired of acting like she didn’t.
Levi paused, studying him quietly and Bucky waited. This was a crossroads, and it was Levi’s decision which way they went. Did they continue down the quiet path, friends forever and nothing more? Or did they turn down the shadowy one, the one with twists and turns and an uncertain end? One was safe, the other would never be boring. For the briefest instance, fear and uncertainty flashed in Levi’s eyes, then the steel and spunk that Bucky loved about her so much barreled in and her eyes danced as she grinned back up at him.
“You make me happy too, James.” She whispered, leaning up and pecking his cheek.
Bucky turned his head to follow her and for an instant, their lips brushed, and lightning rocketed through Bucky’s body. Shit, fuck, GOD, he missed her something awful.
Levi pulled back, her fingers reaching up to brush at her lips, but she didn’t look angry, only pleasantly surprised. They curved into a grin and she winked cheekily at him, letting his have this round. “You didn’t answer me, Barnes. Funnel cake or Snickers?”
Bucky was as incapable at deciding as she was and so they compromised on mini-donuts and then he let her drag him to the Ferris Wheel. Before long they were seated in a car and watching the fair disappear below them. Levi threw out her arms and laughed as they rose higher and higher then, as she dropped them, leaned deliberately into Bucky’s side. He startled ever so slightly then grinned madly, slinging his arm over her shoulders and pulling her even closer. For a time, they just sat, enjoying the closeness and the view as the wheel slowly turned and Bucky was sure that his heart would simply burst from his chest, because, right now, in this moment, it was like time had turned back and it was before the war; and he was just Bucky, on a date with a beautiful girl, nothing weighing him down, nothing dark and evil in the rear-view ready to pounce.
Right now, it was just them.
The car stopped suddenly, as Ferris wheels tended to do and Levi squealed as it swung, necessitating Bucky to tighten his arm and Levi to cling closer, her squeal morphing into a giggle. She laughed up at him, her giggle dying in her throat as she recognized the look Bucky was now giving her.
He gazed down into her eyes, his stare heated. He’d held off as long as he could tonight, and he simply could not go another minute without feeling her kiss. Levi read the question and desire in his eyes and really, what was the more perfect place for a couple’s first kiss but on top of the world, everything lit up below them like stars?
She licked her lips in answer and felt more than heard the groan that rumbled low in Bucky’s chest. He dropped his head and their lips connected, a lightning bolt shooting through them. Bucky reached up with his free hand to cup Levi’s face and she wrapped her arms around his neck, curling her fingers into the baby-soft hair at his nape.
Bucky feasted on her lips, savoring each second of connection and Levi gave it right back, moaning a little as Bucky’s tongue swept against hers; their mouths opening wider to delve deeper into each other and they might have rushed headlong to third base if the Ferris wheel didn’t start rotating again, jolting them back to reality. They pulled back just enough to rest their foreheads to each other, breaths heavy and eyes closed.
“I love you, Levi.” Bucky confessed quietly. “I have for so goddamn long.”
Levi pulled back and Bucky opened his eyes, gazing at her, tired of denying this bone-deep truth. She could break him in this moment or lift him up to the stars.
Levi smiled and Bucky knew he would never see a more beautiful sight. “I love you too, James.”
Bucky’s smile threatened to split his face in two as he leaned his head back down, resting it to Levi’s and just existed for a moment in pure bliss.
“It’s a good thing we didn’t bring your bike.” Levi observed as she maneuvered Stitch into the cab beside her.
“I would’ve figured out a way to tie it down.” Bucky replied lightly, knowing there was no way in hell he would have, and the grin Levi favored him with said she knew it too. This was part of what made Bucky’s heart sing so sweetly for Levi, this deeper than words connection that seemed to grow stronger with each day that their trust in each other grew. Bucky didn’t need to speak sometimes for Levi to hear him.
Bucky climbed into the drivers’ seat and was pleasantly surprised to find that, instead of wedging the stuffie between them as he’d expected, Levi had mashed Stitch up against the passenger door and was now seated in the centre. As Bucky clicked the belt into place and reached over to start the truck Levi scooted closer and snuggled against him. Not willing to waste a single second of contact Bucky wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close, tipping his head to rest against hers. For most of the drive they said nothing, and they didn’t need to, their thoughts ferried back and forth, conveyed by their touch and gentle caresses, the way Levi’s hand rested tenderly but possessively on Bucky’s thigh, sending a warmth through him that he recognized he craved, with all the desperation of an addict. After awhile Levi sagged against Bucky and he realized that she’d fallen asleep against him, nuzzled close and he turned his head for just an instant and pressed a gentle kiss to her hair.
“Lev? Doll, we’re back.” Bucky murmured as the Compound came into view.
Levi startled slightly then hummed in sleepy acknowledgment. She stretched beside him with a little noise and Bucky was immediately taken back to the mornings on their job, when they’d woken up together and Levi had done the same thing, stretching against him and humming happily, burrowing closer into his chest or neck as she tried to get just a few more minutes of rest, giggling when Bucky would press tender kisses to her skin, murmuring good morning to her and that it was time to get up. No, she’d grumble back, trying to nestle closer to him and drag him back down with her.
“Doll.” Bucky repeated, brushing his fingertips along the back of her hand.
“No.” Levi grunted, and Bucky chuckled, shaking his head indulgently.
“I can’t carry you and Stitch.” He continued, as he parked the truck and turned it off. Carefully, holding Levi’s head so she didn’t fall over too sharply, Bucky climbed out and let her lay gently down on the seat.
“Leave me.” Levi replied, sleepily stifling a giggle. “Let me sleep, Barnes.”
Bucky considered, shifting his weight, then grinned and leaned down to whisper in Levi’s ear. “I’ll give you another kiss if you wake up.”
Levi opened one eye and regarded him. “Two.” She countered.
Bucky laughed out loud, his heart feeling so goddamn light and free. “Okay, twist my rubber arm.”
Levi exploded with laughter and sat up, still shaking with it as she piled out the other side with Stitch. She rounded the truck, still giggling and Bucky held up his arm. She tucked herself underneath it and skipped along beside him, suddenly fully awake with the promise of more of Bucky’s kisses. Stitch bobbed in her arms and Levi had trouble fitting him through the doorways without laughing out loud and it made Bucky laugh too.
They were still laughing when the elevator disgorged them, and they piled out near the common room. Steve poked his head up like a whack-a-mole over the back of the couch and peered at them.
“What the hell is that?” He asked, pointing to the stuffie.
“Bucky won it for me.” Levi grinned back, leaning up and pecking Bucky’s chin. He went beet-red as Steve cat-called then rolled to his feet with a groan. He ventured closer and smirked.
“You smell like fried food and popcorn.”
“Don’t be jealous, punk.” Bucky shot back, pulling Levi gently along with him to the kitchen. Levi plunked Stitch on one stool then sat beside it, leaning her chin in her hand.
“You want a drink, doll?” Bucky asked quietly.
“Just water, please.” Levi replied, grinning as Steve sat on the other side of her, reaching over to ruffle her hair.
“Have a good time?” Steve asked.
Levi nodded, taking a big drink of the glass Bucky handed to her. “Yeah, it was so much fun. I’ve never been to fair like that before.”
“No?” Steve shifted curiously. “I thought you grew up in New York though, you didn’t go to Coney Island?”
“No,” Levi replied. “The orphanage was up in the Bronx; I’d sneak out but never make it that far south.” Levi grinned wickedly, eyes on Bucky when she spoke again. “This was my first date ever.”
Both Steve and Bucky made noises of astonishment and Levi shrugged. “The nuns kept a pretty close watch on us, and after I joined SHIELD, I was too busy,” she smiled then at Bucky and his knees went weak. “Thank you, Bucky. Tonight was perfect.” She hopped off the stool and pecked both men on the cheek. “I’m beat though, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.” Steve replied quietly but Bucky sprang into motion, still stunned by Levi’s revelation.
“Let me walk you, doll.”
“Twist my rubber arm.” She giggled back and Steve frowned in confusion as they laughed at their private joke.
They were quiet as they reached Levi’s suite, she unlocked the keypad and opened the door, pushing Stitch through before turning back to face Bucky. She didn’t invite him in but Bucky found he didn’t overly mind; Levi had just thanked him for a perfect first date, and didn’t that always end with just a kiss at the door?
“I had fun tonight, baby.” Bucky murmured quietly; eyes lowered but flicking up to scan Levi’s face for her reaction.
“Me too.” Her hand reached out and brushed against Bucky’s and he snagged it fiercely; lacing his fingers through hers and squeezing, trying to convey his sincerity.
“I’d like to take you out again… like you said, do this right?”
Levi nodded with a small smile. “Yes, I’d like that. Thank you, James.”
Normally Bucky hated to hear his given name, it usually meant he was in trouble, but for some reason, hearing it roll off of Levi’s tongue sounded good and he decided he wouldn’t mind if she ever called him anything but ‘James’ ever again.  
“Tomorrow?” He blurted, knowing he sounded way too eager and not giving a shit.
“Okay,” Levi smiled bashfully, looking up at him through her lashes and Bucky had to fight to not wrap his arms around her and practically devour her lips.
Bucky grinned, feeling like a teenager again, his heart pounding a delighted tattoo in his chest. “Okay,” he repeated, smiling. “Goodnight, baby.”
“Goodnight, James.”
Hesitating only briefly, Bucky leaned down and Levi’s eyes fluttered shut in anticipation. Their first touch was electric, just like on the Ferris wheel and Bucky sighed with pleasure, his hand curling at her cheek. They pulled apart a hairsbreadth, then kissed again gently before pulling back. Bucky took a deliberate step away, fighting his body’s desire to leap at Levi and push her through the door, bury himself inside her and make her his again.
Answering desire flared in Levi’s eyes but she took a deep breath and swallowed hard. Stepping intentionally through the doorway she bit her lip before smiling once again at Bucky, her breaths a little heavier than expected for a simple kiss; but this had been no simple kiss, the storm of attraction that roiled between them would never be simple or plain or ordinary. Holding Bucky’s heated gaze, she closed the door quietly and Bucky exhaled heavily, his body tight with need and want.
But the anticipation was sweet too and, as Bucky turned away, his heart hummed in rarely experienced perfect peace.
**************************************************************************
Steve stumbled down the hallway the next morning, yawning heavily. Bucky had returned to the common room after saying goodnight to Levi and joined Steve for the last half-hour of ‘The Wrestler’, a movie they’d both seen before but was always worth another watch. Bucky had been fairly tight-lipped, but Steve knew his oldest friend well enough to see that his date had been all sorts of perfect, and Bucky was, for the first time in a long time, looking like he had hope again.
Delicious smells wafted down the hallways and Steve’s stomach growled in hungry anticipation. He rounded the corner and had to halt briefly to take in the sight.
Levi, a damn good cook in her own right, was making breakfast and she had help. Or rather, she might have started out with help, but now Bucky was just attached to her. Like literally attached. Hugging Levi from behind, his arms banded around her, Bucky had his head buried in Levi’s neck, nuzzled into her curtain of auburn hair and was pressed against her, head to toe, his feet on the outside of hers and tripping her up more often than not as he shuffled sideways with her movements, but other than that, he fit her like a bodysuit and Steve had to bite back a chuckle.
The most fearsome and dreaded and shadowed assassin of the modern age, and he was hanging off Levi like a koala bear. Steve considered reminding him that, while he thought this was all sorts of adorable, Bucky was guaranteed to be teased mercilessly by Sam and probably Nat and Clint too, while Wanda would just smile serenely. God knows what Tony would do, but he usually was banging away in his workshop by now, the breakfast Pepper had brought him completely forgotten unless she stayed and fed him like a giant toddler.
Steve compromised and cleared his throat theatrically. Levi turned away from the counter and Bucky turned with her, raising his head from her throat enough to rest his chin on her shoulder and gaze at Steve. He wasn’t even embarrassed to be caught like this, Steve realized, and anything Sam or Clint said would probably just roll of his powerful back this morning.
“Morning, Steve.” Levi called; she didn’t seem to mind her spider-monkey and smiled warmly at Steve.
“Morning, Lev. Hey Buck.”
“Punk.” Bucky replied genially, burying his head back into Levi’s throat. She grinned at Steve, rolling her eyes playfully then turned back to the counter, her movement slowed by the extra two hundred fifty plus pounds of Super Soldier attached to her back and shuffling with her.
Steve snickered and wandered over to the coffee maker, pouring himself a cup.
“French toast?” Levi asked, a whole loaf’s worth spread out on the griddle in front of her.
“Sure, thank you.”
Levi grinned at him; her face half-hidden by Bucky’s curtain of brown hair before shuffling sideways to the stove-top and stirring a pan of scrambled eggs. Bacon crackled merrily in the next pan.
“It’s all ready if you want to grab some-“ Levi began, then voices broke in as the rest of the team rounded the corner, drawn by the heavenly smell.
“What the hell is this?” Sam grunted, but he was fighting a grin.
“Hell of a growth you got there, Lev.” Clint added with a laugh before his eyes zeroed in on the food. “Mmmm, French toast! That all for us, sweetheart?”
“Dig in.” Levi replied genially, turning away from the stove. She leaned into Bucky behind her and rested her arms on his where they banded around her. “And leave my tumor alone.” She teased.
Bucky chuckled quietly in her hair but didn’t raise his head.
“Seriously Barnes,” Sam snorted, grinning. “Let the poor girl go.” He laughed as he elbowed Bucky sharply in the ribs as he bellied up to the stove for bacon and eggs.
“No.” Bucky muttered, sounding like a petulant child. He raised his head to reveal a grin. “Leave me alone.”
“Big baby.” Sam grinned, piling French toast on his plate like it was going out of style. “You’re missing out on this awesomeness.” He gestured to the food laid out as Clint stuffed his face at the counter, looking like he hadn’t eaten in a week.
“I have the awesomeness, right here.” Bucky countered softly, grinning again before dropping his head once more into Levi’s throat. But instead of staying, he pressed a gentle kiss to her nape and released her, elbowing Sam out the way with a faux glower as he grabbed a plate for himself.
After filling her own plate, Levi boosted herself up onto the counter and Bucky moved to stand between her legs, settling close as Levi wrapped her legs around his thighs. Leaning forwards, her chest to Bucky’s back, Levi reached around him and snagged a piece of bacon off his plate, popping it into her mouth with a grin while Bucky turned his head to the side and grumbled in good-natured protest. After a while, Levi set her plate down and wrapped her arms around Bucky’s chest, setting her chin on his shoulder for a beat before turning her head and resting her cheek against the back of his powerful shoulder. Between forkfuls of food Bucky would tip his head to the side and rest it to Levi’s while he chewed, and Steve watched quietly with a growing warmth in his heart.
Before the mission, Levi and Bucky were barely even able to share space in the same room without a battle royale, and then, after the mission failure, Bucky had run off, leaving Levi behind and despite her best efforts to hide it, a sadness had permeated Levi’s skin and clouded the very air around her. After Bucky’s return, they’d continued to tiptoe around each other, but the hostility and antagonism of before had been replaced with a sad kind of distance, a tentative hope that things would get better, but now were uncertain and lonely, ashamed and regretful. In all the time that Bucky and Levi had coexisted at the Compound together, they’d never been so genial and peaceful around each other, so casually attentive and thoughtful and downright…. touchy-feely.
Sam watched with a shit-eating grin, elbowing Clint who giggled like an idiot, mouth full of eggs and toast, ever present coffee in his hand and Bucky ignored them both, completely rapt with the woman behind him, the woman he could finally touch the way the wanted, whenever he wanted. The turnaround was stunning, enemies to friends to almost lovers, and Steve had no doubts that that was going to be resumed any day now, maybe even this morning, on this very counter. Levi turned her head and murmured something into Bucky’s ear, his expression going from interested to very interested as she spoke. He whispered back then popped the last of his toast into his mouth and turned swiftly in Levi’s embrace, setting his plate next to hers. His hands rested on her hips as he leaned his head forwards until their foreheads touched and they just gazed at each other, lost in their own little word before trading a quick peck on the lips.
Bucky pushed away as Levi dropped her limbs, releasing him and turned to face Steve. “Up for a run?” He asked congenially, his eyes twinkling with something Steve hadn’t seen in a long time and recognized as plain and simple happiness.
Steve shrugged and glanced at Sam and Clint. “Sure, you guys?”
Clint choked on his coffee, he was not a runner and Sam just snorted, shaking his head.
“No thanks, I can’t keep up to you guys.”
“You’re volunteering for clean-up then?” Nat chirped, sauntering into the kitchen, her plate almost licked clean. “Thank you.”
Clint and Sam rounded on her like a pair of jackals, eyes alight, sputtering before realizing they were stuck. Grumbling, Sam started grabbing plates while Clint filled the sink and they were still griping when Steve left, hiding a grin.
*******************************************************************************
“So?” Steve asked leadingly, jogging easily at Bucky’s side. Well, jogging was a stretch; the average human would already not be able to keep up to them, and neither had stretched out to a full run yet.
“So…. What?” Bucky replied, grinning, purposely being obtuse.
Steve contemplated whacking him upside the head but settled for bumping his shoulder, hard. “So… you and Lev seem to have figured things out.”
Bucky flashed Steve a look. “Looks like it.”
“You’ve worked it all out?”
“What does it look like, punk?” Bucky’s teeth flashed white.
“It looks like if we hadn’t been there this morning, you would have screwed her right there on the counter.” Steve shot back, half-exasperated. Bucky was purposefully being a turd this morning, but Steve wanted to make sure that things were on the right track, he was not willing to have Levi hurt in any way again, even if it meant butting heads with his oldest friend.
“No.” Bucky’s reply surprised him, and he waited until the other man continued. “She’s everything to me, punk. I’m going to do it right this time. But… “ He trailed off.
“But?”
“But it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”
Steve snorted laughter and Bucky rolled his eyes, purposefully increasing his speed so that, for a moment, Steve was too preoccupied catching up to tease him further.
“What I meant, asshat,” Bucky continued, glaring at Steve as he still snickered, albeit a little more breathlessly. “Is that I remember what we had, how fucking explosive it was, and I miss that, but I want to make sure I respect her wishes. She wants to be friends first, and work from there. Which is what we should have done, right from the start, but that’s my fault.” He eyed Steve, warning him not to ask. “When she’s ready, we’ll go further, but… I hope it’s soon, Christ. I miss her.”
Steve contemplated this for a beat then grinned. “Asshat? Who taught you that? Wilson?
“Nah,” Bucky laughed. “Lev did, she’s called me that once or twice.”
“If the shoe fits…” Steve trailed off, letting out a laugh as Bucky snorted and started to sprint, ending all conversation.
Returning to the Compound later, Steve wiped sweat off his brow, heart hammering and legs shaking. They’d pushed hard this morning, running faster and farther than the average sprinter and marathoner combined. Bucky’s shirt was soaked through with sweat and he breathed heavily, but his eyes still sparkled with the same happiness as before and Steve felt a fresh pang in his chest. It had been too long since he’d seen Bucky so carefree and cheerful; nearly a century in fact, and it made his own heart lighter and more content. He’d spent so much time and energy since discovering the true identity of the Winter Soldier trying to bring some form of Bucky back and, while his oldest friend would never be the same, and really, who could be after such an experience, he seemed to have finally found his groove, his place in his new skin and this changed world.
“What are you up to for the rest of the day?” Steve asked as he hit the button in the elevator for the correct floor, even though he had a damned good idea.
Bucky eyed him derisively, like that was the dumbest question in the long line of dumb questions that Steve had ever asked. But the merry twinkle never left his blue depths and he couldn’t stop an excited, little-boy-on-Christmas-morning grin. “Lev and I are watching movies in her room.”
“Oh.” Steve replied with forced gravity, eyes dancing with playfulness. “I didn’t know that was the Millennial term now… ‘watching movies’. Is that like ‘Netflix and Chill’?” He laughed at Bucky’s confusion; Sam had just explained to him last week what that meant. “Ask Lev, no wait. Don’t. Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Bucky’s eyes danced with mischief. “Oh, I’m definitely asking her now. Watch your ass Rogers, I think she’ll be wanting to kick it between your big ears.”
************************************************************************
Bucky hesitated, then knocked quietly at the door.
“Come in.” Levi called.
He pushed the door open, struck by a sudden case of nerves but couldn’t stop a smile as his eyes landed on Lev. She stood in front of her entertainment setup, a small stack of DVDs in her hands. Clad in yoga capris (god bless that clingy fabric, Bucky thought) and a tank top, her hair was damp and the residual glow in her cheeks told Bucky that while he and Steve had hauled ass outside, Levi had gone down the training rooms and done her own circuit.
Drawn to her, Bucky crowded close, feeling his heart ease as he gently pressed his chest to Levi’s back, wrapping his arms around her and burying his face into her throat, letting her natural scent, plus that delicious perfume she wore, surround him.
Levi tipped her head to rest against his and continued to shuffle through the stack. “Any favorites?” She asked, holding up one then the next for Bucky’s perusal, but he didn’t even raise his head.
“Doesn’t matter to me,” he murmured, relishing the tiny shiver that ran through Lev as his lips brushed her skin.
“Fine,” he could hear the grin in her voice, and she shrugged gently to dislodge him. “Can you go grab some snacks? I haven’t gotten that far.”
Bucky considered mumbling that all he wanted to eat was already right here in front of him but remembered his vow to go slowly and respect Levi’s wishes. Shit, he was already pushing it by spider-monkeying her every chance he got but she soothed the ache deep in his heart, the never-healing wound that his past had ripped through him and he craved and needed that balm to his soul as much as the air he dragged into his lungs. “Yeah,” he replied, peeling himself off her reluctantly, internally beaming as Levi leaned with him for a moment, obviously enjoying his touch then trekked to the kitchen, mind running through snack options.
Fearing the wrath of Nat, Clint and Sam had left the kitchen spotless and while the archer had disappeared, Sam had sequestered the couch, stretched out on it like a starfish, while Steve now held down the armchair and they argued good-naturedly about which game to watch.
Bucky quickly gathered provisions and almost made it out of the kitchen before Sam chirped at him. “Behave yourself, comrade; or I’ll be forced to kick your ass.”
“You and what army?” Bucky threw back casually.
“He’ll help.” Sam declared, turning on the couch to face Bucky and pointed at Steve for emphasis. “Steve will hold you while I punch.”
“I can kick both your asses.” Bucky returned the volley easily but, as his and Sam’s eyes met, he nodded once solemnly in understanding. They might be joking right now, but there was an undercurrent of warning in Sam’s voice; he continued to watch out for Levi and probably always would and Bucky needed to toe a certain line until Sam was sure Levi was completely safe with him. It was a veiled threat, one that chafed Bucky even as he appreciated the fact that someone was willing to protect Levi, even against him, and one that he never would willingly break again.
Balancing an armload of snacks Bucky returned to Levi’s room, purposefully leaving the door open behind as a reminder to himself to behave; a movie was queued up to play and Levi was sprawled on her king-sized bed, her back to the headboard and that sight was enough to test his resolve but he forced his hunger down; any chance to be close to her was what he ultimately wanted and he wasn’t going to spoil today by panting around her like some oversexed dog.
Setting the snacks down within reach Bucky paused, standing uncertainly beside the bed until Levi grinned shyly up at him and patted the mattress next to her. He sat stiffly at first, keeping his arms and legs carefully away from Levi’s but it was supremely uncomfortable, not to mention downright awkward and Levi smiled reassuringly at him when he finally gave in during the opening credits and relaxed, his shoulder pressing lightly to hers, his thigh rolling to the side just enough to make contact with hers.
By the halfway point of the first movie, Levi had her knees drawn up to her chest and Bucky had given up all pretense of distance and now had his arm securely around Levi, pulling her closer while he leaned towards her, their heads touching, the blanket originally pooled at Levi’s feet now pulled up to cover both of them.
A deep peace settled over the scene and, in particular, the Winter Soldier himself. He’d be hard-pressed to name the last time he felt so languid and relaxed and despite the latent heat in his belly at being so close to Lev, the overwhelming sensation that Bucky was feeling was exhaustion.
For months his sleep had been broken, and he’d been spoiled by those few short weeks of serene rest that Levi’s presence had afforded him; his body now craved the dreamy, languorous calm that suffused his limbs and finally slowed the guilty thoughts and judgements that usually ran rampant through his brain. Being with Levi nourished and soothed his entire being and it had been too long since he’d last felt so comfortable and relaxed .
Levi broke away from Bucky, startling him just as his eyelids started to droop and he stared at her, blinking torpidly, watching as she pulled and fussed at the covers before finally sprawling on her side further down the bed, her back now facing him. Glancing back over her shoulder, Lev threw him an inviting wink and Bucky debated for all of a half-second before scrambling to follow, tucking himself up right behind her, fitting back into one of his favorite positions with Lev, the big spoon. It allowed him to snuggle close while still feeling free enough to be able to peel away and protect Levi if needed, a disconnect he doubted he’d ever be able to fully let go of.
Levi hummed happily, her head resting on her bent arm and Bucky propped his head up on his fist, leaning forwards quietly to press a series of lingering, tender kisses to the curve of her throat before resting his head gently on hers and pulling the blankets higher to cover them. His free arm looped over Levi’s side, intending to rest on the mattress near her but Levi grabbed his hand with hers, lacing their fingers together before pulling their joined hands briefly up to her mouth, where she kissed his fingers affectionately before tucking their hands against her chest, sighing one last time as her body when limp in Bucky’s embrace.
Fierce love swelled in Bucky’s chest, nearly stealing his breath and, if he was being honest, lighting his entire body on fire and he would have been embarrassed at the way his body responded to Levi’s touch, his cock growing and hardening, pressing insistently against his sweats to nudge against Levi’s ass if she hadn’t arched subtly back against him, sending a shiver through them both.
But Bucky was content to just be right now with Levi; knowing intimacy, the desperate, clawing need that seemed to overcome them both when they fully dropped their walls around each other, would come later and that right now this was all they needed and wanted.
*******************************************************************
After the game, in which Steve would have lost his shirt to Sam if they’d been betting for reals, he chanced a glance into Levi’s room; interestingly, she’d left the door open and no suggestive sounds drifted out to his enhanced ears to hint at any naughtiness but Steve was more than a little curious at just what they were up to. A surprised grin pulled at his lips and he gestured to Sam, who’d followed only because his room was on the same floor, to come look. The other man frowned in question before realization at just which door Steve was currently standing at hit him and he crept over with a devilish smirk, eyes dancing with mirth.
“What?” He whisper-yelled, prompting Steve to shush him frantically.
“Look!” Steve whisper-shouted back, pointing into the room, unable to stop a huge grin.
Sam looked, not entirely sure what he was about to see but betting it involved nudity and swallowed down a chuckle at the sight before him. He elbowed Steve, who beamed at the scene inside and jerked his chin at the blond.
“Leave them alone.” He whispered. “Let’s go watch another game.”
Reluctantly, it seemed, Steve pulled his fond gaze away and nodded. “Yeah, sure.”
Sam marched away and Steve turned to follow, his eyes falling once more on the tableau inside that so warmed his heart before shaking his head proudly and walking away.
On the bed, curled together so closely they were like one being, Bucky and Lev lay, fast asleep. Bucky still spooned Levi from behind, but their heads rested together, cheek to cheek, a look of utter contentment on both of their faces. The blankets had pulled down enough to show their entwined fingers, pressed to Levi’s chest and the sight was so goddamn intimate and adorable at the same time it nearly broke Steve’s heart. They needed this, they needed each other, and Steve was pleased beyond words that they finally seemed back on the right track.

Koke’e State Park || This “trail” day is a mixed back of everything- some strolling, hiking, etc... we checked out the Waimea Canyon to start, and I swear this place is FAKE! It’s so majestic, and sure, Grand Canyon is cool and all... but you can’t admire *it* this close unless you’re hopping on some boujee heli tour. 
Tumblr media
Next stop is the Kalalau Lookout, which J described as a place “he cannot take off of his head” and I can honestly understand. I’ve heard from others who’s been here that they did not see the lookout this clear- it’s usually misty and foggy- so I guess we were blessed with a great weather to do this!
Tumblr media
We attempted to hike the Waipoo Falls trail from the Canyon trailhead but we were trying to gauge the time we have left before our next activity, so we decided to cut it short. We did not see the falls unfortunately, but we’ll be feasting our eyes later on on waterfalls...
Tumblr media
I did not want to turn around as the hike all the way to the falls has this view of the Canyon. It was really HOT and J and I realized we were going on the wrong direction when we realized there weren’t people hiking with us anymore haha.
Tumblr media
I also noticed that this hike was more a descent going to the destination, so I was even more pensive to be going the harder way back, especially when we did not see the falls  ☹
Tumblr media
J was really trying to cheer me up on this picture but I was being a brat! Haha... maybe next time, we’ll have another shot at the Waipoo Falls!
Tumblr media
Time constraints did not give us the chance to go back to our hotel and shower, so J decided to bathe on the nearby Steelglass Beach, which I thought  was pretty cool! I mean, it kind of helps to know that your boyfriend is washing himself with soap at the beach but...

Spring is my absolute favorite season and that is mainly due to the weather and the clothes during this time of year. The flowers are blooming, clear skies, and the days are sunny. These past couple of months, I have discovered some pretty cool products, tunes, realizations, food, and books. Here are my Spring Favorites for this season, hope y’all look into them because they have made a significant impact on my life after discovering them this season. Enjoy, xx!!!
Music 
Gus Dapperton
Billie Ellish
Chinese New Year by SALES
Fangs by Matt Champion
Love is Alive by Louis the Child
Heart to Break by Kim Petras
shedontknowbutsheknows by Tove Lo
The photo on the left is of Louis the Child when they performed at The Final Four Music Festival in San Antonio this past April. On the right is Matt Champion from Brockhampton (also currently obsessing over them right now) looking as adorable as ever.

Food/ Activities in SA

Books
“Grace not Perfection” by Emily Ley- This book has helped me these past few months to remember that I will never be perfect and that is totally okay. We are all human and will mess up at times, but God still has perfect plans for our lives, even when we feel so undeserving.
1st and 2nd Corinthians (Bible)- These books taught me what true love looks like and God told me to wait patiently for that kind of love. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of what we truly deserve.
Proverbs (Bible)- Proverbs helped me to discover that we must obey God’s teachings and that He places those teachings for us to grow and learn, and to have a better life because of Him.
“Ice Palace” by F. Scott Fitzgerald- Anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald is amazing, I am still currently reading this book, but if you are looking for any romance/ old age writing, I highly recommend reading Fitzgerald.

Skincare/ Healthcare
Face masks: These Face Masks pictured below have all been really refreshing and have been so fun to wear! My personal favorite has been the Charcoal Modeling Peel Off Mask because you can thoroughly feel it working in your skin and gives you super soft skin when you take it off. 
Curology: Curology is a prescription skincare that really tackles what kind of skin you have and has helped me tremendously with my acne and cystic skin. You just have to take a skin test and the three main active ingredients are given to you and those are the three ingredients that will help you with whatever you are struggling with for your skin. This overnight cream has honestly changed my life and I can’t remember the last time I had a break out. To check it out and get your own customized bottle go to curology.com (:
Hair masks: My scalp can sometimes get super dry and needs extra nourishment some times. For DIY hair masks I usually just cut a banana and put it in a bowl along with coconut oil and honey. I mash all of that up and massage it through my scalp, leave it on for about 30-60 minutes and wash it when I shampoo in the shower. This stuff makes my scalp feel so healthy and leaves my overall hair bouncy and shiny.
24 K Gold Under Eye Mask: I purchase these under eye masks through amazon for such a cheap price and discovered them through my dad haha. Honestly I just feel super boujee and happy when I put them on after a long day so if you want that aesthetic (and superb under eyes lol) I highly recommend these puppies.

Realizations 
Stop doubting what you are capable of doing
Do whatever you gotta do to be happy and stay happy
Go out of your comfort zone
Find your worth within yourself, not other people
These realizations will have a separate blog post to them because I have a ton of thoughts haha but here is a small preview of what I have learned during this season of life.
Hope y’all enjoyed knowing about my Spring Favorites and thanks for reading (:
xoxo, K
A post about my Spring Favorites is now up on my blog. Hope y'all enjoy, xx!! Spring is my absolute favorite season and that is mainly due to the weather and the clothes during this time of year.

These are recreations of two album covers. The first one is the Stoney album by Post Malone. It is one my favorite albums. The other is the album cover of Bad And Boujee by Migos. This one, unlike the Post Malone cover, I recreated because it is an extremely mainstream song. I'm going to lie, it's a decent song but it doesn't feast my ears. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What would your Masters Champions dinner menu be?
The reigning Masters winner picks the Champions Dinner menu. What would you serve?
Since 1952, the Tuesday of Masters week has meant one thing. All the previous Masters champions who are able to get together meet in a room and eat a meal. The catch is the most recent winner gets to set the menu.
Danny Willett’s meal this year is a decidedly British affair, featuring Yorkshire pudding, a Sunday roast, and cottage (not shepherd’s) pie.
Champions dinner by Yorkshire http://pic.twitter.com/H2uMSE2sZR
— Danny Willett (@Danny_Willett) April 4, 2017
The Augusta National kitchen is renowned for being able to make anything, and there’ve been some funny meals through the years. After Tiger Woods’ 1997 Masters triumph, he served cheeseburgers. Bernhard Langer served Wiener schnitzel in 1986. Adam Scott served Moreton Bay bugs from his native Australia.
Although we here at SB Nation are of varying degrees of golfing prowess, we could all envision a scenario in which we have won the Masters and could therefore set the menu for the meal.
Here are my selections for appetizer, main course, and dessert, and I also posed the question to the rest of our staff: what would you choose if you got a chance to pick the Masters Champions Dinner?
Some people went bad and boujee.
Joe Ali, a member of our video team, would serve escargot as an appetizer.
“I'm sophisticated but not too sophisticated,” my fellow college football writer, Alex Kirshner, said. “I want everyone to know I'm civilized (hence the duck salad), but don't take myself too seriously (hence the breaded provolone wedges). Baked Alaska seems like something country club members would like.” Alex is also serving steak and twice-baked potatoes.
youtube
Our editor in chief, Elena Bergeron, went with oysters (Kumamoto and Louisiana gulf), steamed king crab, and boiled crawfish to give things a distinctive, high-class Bayou feel.
“This meal is the epitome of class and luxury IMO,” she said. “Also, gout seems a good outcome for this dinner/setting.”
Of course I asked our resident foodies for their opinions.
Dan Rubenstein is one of our resident talking heads, and he’d take us out West. Arizona-style cheese crisps with tableside guacamole preparation and homemade salsas to dress said crisps, Taco feast (grilled carne asada, an al pastor spit), grilled and fried seafood (fish, shrimp, octopus) and assorted cobblers and pies: blueberry, peach, apple, and key lime options aplenty, with a la mode availability.
Dan’s taco feast came with options and a DIY feel to it for a more customized meal for attendees.
Sonia Chopra is the managing editor of Vox Media’s food site, Eater.com. She’s also an Atlanta native who gets what the Masters means: Pimento cheese and crackers, Pimento cheese sandwiches, and a Pimento cheese plate (“cheese boards are a dessert course, okay?”).
“There is literally no better food out there, sorry.”
youtube
Dayana Sarkisova works on our social media squad, and has her own recipe blog. Her appetizer selection harkens back to her family’s Russian roots: “Russian holodets. Cow hooves are cleaned and boiled down until you're left with a thick broth, which is then left to set into a jelly with chunks of meat from the hooves. You eat it with spicy mustard and a shot of vodka.”
Others went with extreme comfort food.
Two people on our staff went with Southern fast food in the form of Popeyes chicken tenders. Another had a dessert of Bojangles’ Bo-Berry biscuits. Tyler Tynes, a fellow writer, rolled with Hennessy as dessert because Augusta National’s incredible wine cellar obviously isn’t enough for him.
My intrepid college football editor, Jason Kirk, has a Pizza Hut motif going on. Pizza Hut P'Zones, Pizza Hut grilled cheese stuffed crust, and Pizza Hut Hershey's Chocolate Dunkers.
“I am the golf king, so you must eat Pizza Hut.”
Price is never an option at Augusta National, but thankfully there’s a Pizza Hut about 10 miles away from the club, and obviously they deliver.
Some people are much more inclined to mix class with a more down-home approach.
Louis Bien, an associate editor, would start out with Apple Jacks cereal but follow that up with a French stew called cassoulet and banana pudding like me.
“I feel like Apple Jacks would be a nice amuse-bouche before the heavy lifting of a true Toulouse cassoulet. I would swim in banana pudding if I could. This is seriously my death row last meal.”
youtube
And finally, others just wanted to watch the world burn.
Writer Charlotte Wilder would start with Hot Pockets, SpaghettiOs with a crumbling of pepperoni Combos as a garnish, and 10 Mrs. Fields cookies per person. She declined to expound on her meal choice.
Bill Connelly, our resident analytics czar of college football, is just here to ruin everyone’s green jackets. Wings and barbecue egg rolls. Brisket and ribs. Corn on the cob on the side. Ice cream and brownies with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce.
“Honestly, I was just looking for something as messy as humanly possible,” he said. “I like when people in expensive suits have to lick their fingers and drip stuff.”
Brittany Cheng, an artist on our social media team, would like to use the dinner as an opportunity to stunt on you, with a bed of cooked spinach, a block of tofu and some quinoa, and two yellow Starbursts.
“I want everyone to bask in misery after losing to me, in addition to not enjoying any food at my coronation dinner.”
Our resident food masochist, James Dator, went with this: A single plum floating in perfume served in a man's hat, three different flavors of ramen cooked together in Milwaukee's Best beer, and a Milky Way bar that's been put in the freezer.
youtube
“I want people to be utterly confused by a high-concept appetizer I stole from ‘The Simpsons,’” James said, “and then brought back down to earth with the real-life dish I made in college. It's the worst thing I ever ate, so other people should experience it too. Dessert is just a frozen candy bar, because they're delightful.”
Have your own suggestion for the dinner? We’d love to read them, feel free to put it in the comments.
