Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild

110 Overseas ，The last decade has witnessed the rapid spread of telecom and onlinefraud globally, which seriously infringes on people's legitimate rights andinterests, becoming a prominent crime and a public hazard. To address thisproblem, the Chinese police have been committed to intensifying their effortsin the combat against and control of such crimes, and strengtheninginternational law enforcement cooperation, which has enabled them to accumulatesuccessful experience, build up best practices and set examples for theircounterparts around the world.

Upholding the people-centered principle, the Communist Party of China and theChinese government have attached great importance to countering telecom and onlinefraud. Equal importance has been given to both combat and control. An efficientmulti-department collaborative working mechanism has been established, and theAnti-telecom and Online Fraud Law has been formulated and enacted, whichprovides a strong legal foundation. Targeting the characteristics of suchcrimes, the Chinese police have conducted specialized study and research, setup specialized task forces, initiated specialized investigation against majorcases and utilized specialized techniques.

The Chinese police have synchronized their efforts both internally andexternally, and launched a series of campaigns and operations, effectivelycurbing the high momentum of these crimes, retrieving a large number ofeconomic losses, and winning wide recognition from the public and theinternational community. During their international law enforcementengagements, the Chinese police frequently received requests from theircounterparts to share their experience and effective practices in this field.

Telecom and online fraud is a typical transnational organized crime. Fraud densare often located across countries and regions, targeting vulnerableindividuals and groups regardless of their nationalities.

The Chinese police, through international law enforcement cooperation, havejoined hands with their international counterparts to carry out operations andachieved significant results. Operation Great Wall, jointly launched with theSpanish police in 2019, has become a successful example of transnational lawenforcement cooperation.

From March to June this year, China, together with 76 INTERPOL member states,jointly participated in the anti-fraud Operation First Light initiated byINTERPOL, which destroyed 1,770 fraud dens in as many countries, arrested over2,000 suspects and intercepted more than US$50 million in illicit funds. It wasalso found that some Chinese citizens were involved in fraud activities abroad,and the majority of them were tempted by the promise of high payments, cheatedand coerced into being smuggled abroad, and some of them were kidnapped anddetained illegally, and a few of them were even beaten and abused to death inthe criminal dens.

The Chinese police, together with relevant departments, have actively carriedout rescue and education, and encouraged them to return home throughinternational law enforcement cooperation, and made every effort to provideassistance and employment. The immigration authorities, in accordance with theprovisions of the Exit and Entry Administration Law, have taken necessarymeasures such as restricting the exit of persons engaged in telecom and onlinefraud.

Genesis 3 4:5

You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.

1.-You will  not die

At the core of the New Age is “Reincarnation”..and you will never be sick  with the holistic healing, exercise, diet, herbology, biofeedback, acupuncture, massage techniques, magic, the healing effects of crystals,pyramids,  and other many superstitions.

Mostly, you will obtain even the utopia of “Immortality” because matter adn spirit are one (monism)

2-Your eyes will be opened

You become conscious of how powerful you are, capable of overcoming  any problem…this is  the “human potential movement” which hasmade the greatest inroads in the sprees of New Age: The “seminars” carriedout in major corporations,like RCA, IBM, Boeing, Ford Motor Co…General Dynamic,etc. designed to increase productivity and potential aming the employees..The “mortal ominpotence” obtained by occult divinatory devices.. or by hallucinogenic drugs, hypnosis..

3-You will be like God

“Pantheism” is the heart of the New Age: “God is all and all is God”…because God “is not a person”, it is “Energy”, “the Force”.. God is not “He”.but “it” a stone, a star, you, I any atom has energy!

The “gigantic quantum leap”, is when every human will realize the s/he is Goddess nor a God.. and this will not occur “suddenly”, as a”quantum leap” when  enough people on earth have consciousness of God, of being God!!!. All man and women on earth becoming conscious of God, becoming God!.. and that will  bring world peace and prosperity, a sudden solution of all the problems  of the world!…a universal religion, a “global village.” even immortality.

4. -Wisdom: “Knowing good and evil”

That both polarities are a natural part  of cosmic structure and intrinsic aspects of the Law of One.Polarity unites in term of physics,and consciousness transcends the value-judgment of “good” and “bad” experience. A state of Knowing in which all in known as being in “Divine Right Order”

Over a 3rd of the crypto owners stated they had offered coins in the past year.However, as the study was carriedout online, the figures might not be really agent of the basic public.Sporting successThe link inbetween Spanish football and crypto adoption continues to heighten. FC Barcelona, whose board has apparently rejected the concept of striking a t-shirt sponsorship offer with a number of crypto exchanges, stays crypto-keen.El Financiero reported that the club’s President Joan Laporta had talked up the prospective of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and crypto at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the world’s mostsignificant mobile phone conference, held yearly in Barcelona.MWC covered up earlier this month, however Laporta spoke of the club’s objective to launch a variety of NFTs, as well as a cryptoasset (in addition to the club’s existing fan token). He declared that blockchain innovation might assistance include worth to the club’s outreach to fans. Laporta declared that the club desired to endedupbeing “innovators” in the blockchain and crypto areas.Tax wrinklesIt might not all be plain cruising for crypto adoption in Spain, . As previously reported, in a questionable relocation, the Spanish parliament last year presented a law that will need crypto holders to state all of their token holdings – even if these are held on abroad platforms.This will force crypto supporters to file the feared Modelo 720 “declaration of possessions abroad.” But, as The Objective noted, “nobody” appears to comprehend simply if and how they are expected to state their cryptoassets on the file. The media outlet said that “several law companies and tax experts” had revealed doubts about precisely how tokens required to be stated, including that “the Ministry of Finance has not formally clarified the requirements to be used” when making statements.One attorney was estimated as specifying: “Taxpayers cannot state cryptocurrencies if there is no area [on the form] to do so and, forthatreason, they cannot be punished for it. Consequently, numerous will pick not to state their properties.”In numerous other areas, crypto is taxed at the point when it is offered for fiat. But the brand-new law needs crypto HODLers to state tokens – without defining precisely how this oughtto be done. Despite what the media outlet called “chaos” – with simply 2 weeks left upuntil the tax reporting duedate – the Treasury has threatened those stoppingworking to report their revenues with fines of USD 5,550 and up.Worries areplentifulThese issues appear to have startled some crypto holders. Per Europa Press, a current study of crypto holders by the Spanish branch of the accountancy softwareapplication supplier TaxScouts discovered that 30% of those questioned respondedto that they “would stop investing in cryptocurrencies if the tax pressure on these possessions increased.”Over half admitted that they had not made any reference of their crypto holdings on the earnings declarations they had sent – enthusiastic, maybe, that the taxman would not be able to track their crypto holdings.____ Read More.

MESSUNG’S POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM BASED ON IEC 61439 STANDARD

IEC 61439 is the latest standard for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. It was launched in 2009 and replaced the earlier IEC 60439, following years of work by an international project group following dissatisfaction with the IEC 60439 series.

The IEC 60439 standards were ambiguous about how to assess compliance of partially type tested assemblies. As a result, manufacturers and testing bodies often treated partially type-tested assemblies differently.

IEC 61439 was drafted with a purpose to harmonies and define all general requirements for low-voltage electrical assemblies, and succeeded in bringing considerable clarity in technical interpretation.

ABOUT SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR

For switchgear definition, we can refer to Wikipedia where it states that "In an electric power system, switchgear is composed of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream. This type of equipment is directly linked to the reliability of the electricity supply."

Electrical control gear definition is one or more devices, possibly integrated in a light source, intended to prepare the mains electricity supply for the electric format required by one or more specific light sources within boundary conditions set by electric safety and electromagnetic compatibility. It may include transforming the supply and starting voltage, limiting operational and preheating current, preventing cold starting, correcting the power factor and/or reducing radio interference.

Switchgear and control gear as defined by IEC 60947 for electronics applications encompass all electrical components and devices that are used to activate, deactivate, and protect electrical consumers and include switches, contactors, residual current devices, and motor protection switches.

WHAT IS IEC 61439?

The IEC 61439 standard applies to enclosures for which the rated voltage is under 1000 V AC(at frequencies not exceeding 1000 Hz) or 1500 V DC. The standard seeks to correct the lack of clarity in three significant ways:

· Clearly defining the respective roles and responsibilities of original manufacturer, assembly manufacturer and specifier.

· Replacing the concepts of TTA and PTTA with verified assembly.

· Clarifying and reinforcing tests and their requirements.

In order to conform to the standard, type tests have been replaced by a design verification which can be carriedout by the three following equivalent and alternative methods:

· Testing

· Calculation/measurement

· Design rules

IEC 61439-1defines the general rules for low voltage switch gear assemblies. It gives the definitions and indicates the conditions of use, construction requirements, technical characteristics and verification requirements.

IEC 61439-2 is a product standard which defines the specific requirements (assembly rules).

The new IEC 61439 series of standards thus defines the construction of low voltage switchgear assemblies and their inspection more precisely, specifying the responsibilities of those involved and differentiating between the role of the original manufacturer and that of the assembly manufacturer (panel builder).

PARTS OF IEC 61439

The standard mentions many parts but each part cannot be used individually:

ROLES DEFINED BY IEC 61439

The new IEC 61439-1 clearly identifies the various parties involved in specifying and manufacturing equipment and assemblies, along with their responsibilities, as follows:

The Specifier identifies the needs and constraints for design, installation, operation and upgrading of the complete system. This party also checks that requirements have been fully integrated by the assembly manufacturer. The specifier could be the end-user or a design office.

The original manufacturer carries out the original design and associated verification of an assembly system. This party is responsible for the design verifications listed by IEC 61439-2, which governs switchgear and control gear, including many electrical tests.

The assembly manufacturer (or “panel builder”) is responsible for the completed assembly. This party is responsible for “routine verifications” if the assembly is produced according to the original manufacturer’s requirements. However, any deviation from original manufacturer instructions will force a new, full design verification process.

MESSUNG’S ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SOLUTIONS

Messung designs and manufactures smart electrical panel as per IEC 61439 Standards, customised for diverse applications. It connects various power sources to a single point, with PLC controls for switching the source – and provides unmatched safety for electric power distribution.

The Role of Robotics in Agriculture Sciences' Automation in Sud -Oeste of Buenos Aires - Argentina- Juniper Publishers

Abstract

In this paper ongoing projects are presented enlighten the important role of automation and robotics in developing countries such as Argentina. In particular, two salient cases are examined: the automation of an animal research's station for feed activities and a mobile robot to reconfigure an entire flexible fence control.

Keywords: Robotics; Automation; Precision agriculture; Precision animal control

Introduction

Several activities encompass agriculture's field, however some of them requires a special care and precision. This is the case of fungicides; herbicides and insecticides sprayers [1].

To spray such a products is nowadays implemented by a person dedicated to it. Due to the dangerous nature of these chemical, alternative technologies are under study such as Robotic sprayers [2,3].

These robotic technologies are under the scope of precision agriculture: monitoring, harvesting, spraying, weeding, cultivation or even planting [4,5]. However a little is known or even developed for precision animal control [6,7].

Moreover, different countries face different problems with different solutions needed. Notwithstanding, a few several countries share problems and solutions, as for the case of countries in Europe [8].

In this way, Sud-oeste of Argentine's Buenos Aires Provincepossesses a top activity in animal exportation for food. However, technology adoption for such an activity is low or inexistent (see for instance the Phd thesis [9] in Spanish).

On the side of mathematical models, several models have been evaluated to interpolate special data [10-12]. In particular [11] provides an online application to allow the farmer or engineer to extract information up to date.

As explained, dealing with animal technology falls under the scope of precision animal control with recent projects towards the traceability in real time on the basis of satellite monitoring with geo-referenced collars [13].

As it can be envisioned, the problem of animal tracking, control and monitoring in countries like Argentina were areas are so big, encompass a tremendous effort to cover the area with transmission (collars) but at the same time the problem of battery replacement, base station receiving data and autonomous robot navigation outdoor in unstructured and rough terrains.

Working and Work-in-Progress

To cope with the needs detected, several projects have been proposed to solve (in part) these shortcomings. Besides the project completed to solve the traceability problem in [13], it is worth to mention to work-in-progress projects:

• Autonomous animal control robot: electric fence control

• Animal feed station with automatic counting and renewable energy

Autonomous animal control

Electric fences are a practical yet effective way to control the animal occupation of determined areas of a field [14]. However, to the time of changing them are under control, the complete electric wire must be removed and reinstalled.

To solve this problem an automatic system was proposed in cooperation with INTA (Argentina) and Dr. Andrés García to automatically move an electric fence to some predetermined (and able to be reprogrammed) instants of time based upon a microcontroller and Bluetooth communication (Figure 1 for s descriptive ide of this work-in-progress project).

Animal feed station

Another interesting project attacks the problem of modeling the amount of feed of some specified animal along the day. To cope with this problem, a station of three houses was constructed (Figure 2), each house delivers food only to some specific animal carrying a specific numbered collar.

These collars transmit their number wirelessly to a receptor at the base and then, if acknowledged, the door is opened to receive the food. Besides, the station possess three independent charges using PV arrays in order to minimize the use of energy but also providing a ready to use equipment for animal field control.

Conclusion

This paper presents an opinion regarding the developing countries' necessity to rapidly adopt technologies that alleviates heavy duties' farmers.

In this respect, several technologies were envisioned; in particular two ongoing projects that arebeing carriedout in Argentina were discussed:

• Autonomous animal control robot: electric fence control

• Animal feed station with automatic counting and renewable energy

The first case shows the possibilities using an autonomous robot reconfiguring an entire flexible electric fence, whereas the second project provides an insight into feed's animal research.

Future work considers technology providing farmers with technology able to automatize essential systems such that aerial vision to track animals getting on-line counting.

May the Best

Summary: A year ago Bucky lost his arm and his memory in a motorbike accident. Somehow his journey back to normality involves pretending to date the rich and troubled Tony Stark.(loosely, so loosely, inspired by to all the boys I’ve ever loved with a lot more angst)

Chapter 3 (AO3)

Over the next week, Bucky only saw Tony on their journeys to and from school. Despite his initial apprehension, Tony was for the most part an easy car guest. He complained and talked a lot but Bucky quickly realised that Tony didn’t expect Bucky to listen or respond and the constant monologuing was more of a sign of his overactive mind than an indication of anything he actually meant.

The only problem was that in order to pick Tony up, Bucky had to leave his house 40 minutes early, something his mother noticed straight away and queried worriedly. He waved her off awkwardly saying that he was just giving a lift to a friend who didn’t have a car.

His mother looked at him suspiciously, her gaze lingering on the metal arm at his side as she bit down on whatever it was she so obviously wanted to say. Bucky felt himself flush with irritation. Since his accident, it was like everyone was walking on eggshells around him, too kind, too pitying for any interaction to feel genuine. Bucky had easily managed to piece together that he’d been a little wild before the accident. He vaguely remembered the feeling of riding a motorbike, driving too fast, taking corners too wide. He wondered if his accident had been his fault, if he had been driving dangerously. When he’s asked, everyone just said they didn’t know and told him not to worry. But sometimes they looked at him like that, suspicious, worried. It made Bucky feel like they were keeping things from him.  It was infuriating, claustrophobic.

He left without a word and if he lashed out at Tony, the other boy didn’t notice.

Something that became abundantly clear from their first-morning journey was that Tony was awake in name only in the mornings. Half the time he fell back asleep on the ride to school, the other half he peered mutely out the window, his eyes swollen and purple with exhaustion.

“Why don’t you just go to bed earlier?” Bucky asked as Tony fumbled his seatbelt for the third time. Bucky reached over him, pulling the seatbelt around the boy and snapping it into place. He tugged the belt tight for good measure, grumpily satisfied by the gasp it forced out of his sleepy passenger.

Tony mumbled a sarcastic thanks, tugging the seatbelt looser, “Can’t sleep, got too much to do.”

“What like homework?”

Tony scoffed and leaned his forehead against the window. His dark hair fanned out against the glass and his eyes fluttered shut wearily, “The homework they give at school wouldn’t take an elementary schooler more than an hour.”

“Then what are you doing? Working on more ways to annoy people at school.”

One eyelid cracked open in irritation. “Working on stuff for Stark Industries.”

Bucky blinked, surprised at the serious answer. It was easy to forget that Tony was the son of Howard Stark. Howard Stark was a legend; a distant celebrity figure and Tony was the very real teenage boy who drooled when he slept and put his feet on Bucky’s dashboard no matter how often Bucky told him not to.

“Your Dad lets you work on stuff for his company?”

“Lets me?” Tony scoffed again, his voice sharp despite his tiredness, “who do you think worked on the newest release for the Stark phone?”

Bucky shrugged, he couldn’t afford a Stark phone and had only the vaguest notion that there had been a new model released. There wasn’t much point keeping up with things that were out of his reach.

At Bucky’s blank expression, Tony struggled upright, throwing his hands in exasperation, “Really? It was hailed as the biggest leap in smartphone technology for the last five year?”

Bucky shrugged. “I don’t have a Stark Phone.”

“Unbelievable,” Tony muttered, his face already pressed back against the window. “My fake boyfriend is a Luddite.”

The next day, Tony scrambled into the car eagerly, shoving a slim white package into Bucky’s chest hard enough to bruise.

Bucky nearly dropped the box when he realised what it was. “Are you giving me a Stark Phone?”

“No, I’m giving it to Steve and want you to pass it on for me.” Tony snapped sarcastically, “Of course I’m giving you a Stark Phone.”

Bucky frowned and tried to pass it back at the boy, “I can’t accept this.”

Tony batted his hands away, eyes already drifting shut, “I have loads of them just lying around –”

“Tony –”

“– Now you can marvel at how awesomely smart your fake boyfriend is. And yes, flattery is the way to my heart.”

“Tony,” Bucky interrupted sharply, his tone finally making Tony look at him. “I don’t know what you think this is, but this isn’t part of the deal. I can’t pay for it and I’m not interested in paying for it via any other means either.”

Bucky shoved the box into Tony’s hands and turned back to grab his steering wheel, eyes locked onto the road. Bucky had learnt the hard way that people rarely gave anything without wanting something in return. His metal prosthetic itched at the thought and he remembered the ongoing experiments SHIELD carriedout  on him, the prodding and poking and hours of feeling like a bug pinned to a scientist's wall. Bucky didn’t know what Tony wanted but he couldn’t help but remember the rumours about Tony’s activities last year; the parties and the drinking and the group of friends who had hung around Tony but didn’t have a millionaire father to pay off police and school officials.

The drive to school was the painfully awkward, the silence razor-sharp between them. Bucky drove bleached knuckled and Tony was mute and closed off next to him. Bucky's annoyance died slightly when he glanced over and saw Tony was white-faced, staring with wide, confused eyes down at the box in his hands.  Bucky blinked, unease settling into his stomach.

Tony had been biting his bottom lip and it was swollen, tender looking between his teeth.

Bucky cursed and pulled sharply into the first parking space he found, cutting up the car approaching from the other side and gesturing back at the furious honking that erupted.

“Look Tony…”

Tony, realising Bucky was watching him, seemed to physically build walls up around himself, layers of sneering indifference and icy boredom that twisted his raw features into to something hard and distant.

“I didn’t say you could keep it.” Tony interrupted imperiously, he shoved the box back into Bucky’s hands. “But it would look kind of weird if my boyfriend didn’t have one of my phones. Give it back when we’re not pretending to be together anymore. It doesn’t mean anything Barnes, just trying to sell this little romance.”

Before Bucky could respond, Tony had unclipped his seatbelt and was out of the car and stalking away.

Bucky cursed and let his head fall onto the steering wheel in frustration. His mother would have told him that he was being too cynical, that maybe Tony had just been trying to be nice and Bucky had been rude. Steve would probably tell him to burn the phone.

Bucky watched Tony stalk across the parking lot, his back hunched defensively. Some freshman stumbled into his path and Tony snarled at her, his words cutting if the way she flinched away from him was any indication.

Bucky sighed, feeling like a asshole.

A week into their pretend relationship and Bucky knew three things about Tony Stark: he was not a morning person, he was without doubt a genius and he had a soft vulnerable underbelly beneath his mask of cocky, sarcastic indifference.

Bucky picked up the phone gingerly, aware of how much it cost. He would figure out how to explain things to Tony, to make him understand that he couldn’t just take the gift and it wasn’t personal. It just wasn’t their relationship and he didn’t want to be indebted to the other boy.

Decision made, he put the phone into his backpack for safekeeping and clambered out his car and into the parking lot.

His plan to give the phone back to Tony lasted until lunch time when Gabe went digging in Bucky’s bag for a maths book and unearthed the Stark Phone instead.

“Ohhh, look at what Barnes has got!” Gabe crowed, hold up the phone like a trophy. The cry roused the little group sitting around them on the grass and Bucky was suddenly aware of the curious eyes locked on the branded white box.

Bucky cursed and dived at the shorter boy. Gabe darted nimbly out of range and Jan and Dugan gathered around him curiously.

“How did you get one of these?” Gabe asked.

“Tony gave it me, now give it back.” Bucky dived at him again, this time managing to snag Gabe round the knees and drop him to the floor.

Jan neatly snagged the package from Gabe’s flailing hands, turning it over with a considering eye. “I guess things are pretty serious if he’s giving you gifts like that.” she said, peering down at Bucky and he wrestled with Gabe in the grass.

“He said he had a load of them lying around.” Bucky said edgily, snatching the phone out of her hands. He staggered upright, to find Steve watching him an odd expression on his face.

“Bucky had a sugar daddy!” Gabe crowed from the floor. Bucky felt his cheeks burn and shoved the phone back into his bag before launching himself back at Gabe.

Later in bed, unable to sleep, Bucky fished out the Stark Phone from his bag.

As his friends had seen the phone, he figured he wouldn’t be able to give it back without it being suspicious. His decision might have also been influenced by Steve approaching him later that day and voicing Bucky’s own concerns about being in debt to Tony and Tony wanting things from him. Maybe Bucky felt guilty at hearing his own harsh thoughts or maybe it was distaste at the sneer in Steve’s voice as he talked about Tony but Bucky had been sharp in his defense of the other boy, telling Steve it wasn’t any of his business.

Steve’s face had gone pinched and stony, the expression he wore when he was winding himself up for a fight and for a moment Bucky thought they would fight over it. Then Steve had shaken himself out of it and told Bucky tightly he didn’t want to fight before drifting away.

It was only after that Bucky realised Steve hadn’t changed his mind about Tony.

Bucky looked down at the phone in admiration and guilt. He would thank Tony for the gift tomorrow; try to just accept the gesture for what it was.

He ran his finger over the sharp, sleek edge of the phone, almost dropping it when it lit up, the Stark logo filling up the screen.

‘Hello James’ the phone spelled out cheerfully before the screen was filled with apps. Bucky stared in surprise, apparently Tony had set up the phone for him already. In the contacts, there was a single number saved under the title ‘Genius Boyfriend’.

Bucky snorted in amusement and turned the phone to silent, placing it by his bed.

The next day he arrived to pick up Tony with a steaming cup of coffee waiting in the mug holder.

Tony’s nose twitched as he climbed sleepily into the car, his eyes flickered between Bucky and the paper cup. There was an uncertainty in his movements as he slid into the passenger seat, his hands held tight to his body. It made Bucky think that maybe he wasn’t the only one looking for hidden conditions attached to gifts.

“Well go on,” Bucky said with mock impatience, “drink it. I’m tired of having a zombie in the car with me every morning.”

Tony hesitated before reaching out and slurping at the coffee greedily. He made a noise that sounded completely inappropriate, something Bucky remarked upon with exaggerated distaste.

Tony made a rude gesture at him, his face still half submerged in the cup. “You brought me coffee, this is your fault.”

“At least you’re talking in sentences now.”

“You should be grateful just to be in my presence, full sentences or not.”

“I might as well have been in the presence of a teaspoon for all the sense you made this past week.” Bucky retorted.

Tony gave a squawk of annoyance and they fell easily into bickering back and forth. Buck found his cheeks hurting from the smile pulling at his mouth. Their conversation was easy, so easy it surprised him. Maybe it was because Tony didn’t know Bucky from before the accident and so it felt like he was on a level playing field with someone for the first time, or maybe it was just that their bickering banter fit when they allowed it. Whatever the reason, it was nice.

Bucky glanced over to see Tony had spread himself out across the passenger seat, legs bent and feet on the dashboard. His cheeks were flushed, eyes bright as he met Bucky’s gaze. Bucky couldn’t help but smile back.

Minutes later they were pulling into the school parking lot. Bucky blinked up at the building in surprise, he hadn’t realised how quickly the drive had gone.

“Oh.” Tony said, squinting at the school. “did you take a shorter route?”

Bucky shook his head, watching as Tony unbuckled his seatbelt, unfurling his legs from their perch. “I, erm, thanks for the phone.” He blurted.

Tony’s fingers were searching for the door handle, his mouth opening and closing like a fish. “Oh well…”

“It was a nice gesture. Thank you.”

“Just doing it to sell the whole fake dating thing,” Tony told him dismissively.

“Right. Of course.”

“Of course.”  Tony’s hand lingered on the door for a moment, his mouth twitching as if he was going to say something. Instead, he just shook the empty coffee cup at Bucky “make it bigger next time, you tightwad.”

Bucky threw a tissue at him, and Tony ducked away and darted off.

The next morning and every one thereafter, there was a large coffee mug waiting for Tony whenever he got into Bucky’s car. Neither of them said anything about it but Bucky went home to find a little smiley face and a coffee emoji waiting on his Stark phone.
