Steve

Steve leaned against Bucky in return and nodded slowly. “Yeah,” he said softly. “We just need one another. Home’s not a place… its you and me together.” He turned to kiss the top of Bucky’s head just as there was a knock at the door. “Food’s here.” He got up from the bed and walked over to the door to retrieve their food, closing and locking the door behind him once he’d done so.

“Always together.” Bucky whispered as he let Steve get up, relaxing into the softness of the bed before leaning forward to get a slice of pizza. “I haven’t had pizza in years.” he grinned, taking a bite and humming appreciatively. Patting the bed beside him, he tried to get Steve to sit next to him again. “Come on, let’s eat so I can hold you all night.”

Steve

Steve nodded slowly. “I wanted to go back to Brooklyn but… it’s not the same anymore and I wouldn’t even begin to know where to start looking for an apartment or a home of any kind, honestly. Hotels were easier. I could move around whenever I needed to do so.” He shifted as Bucky sat beside him. “I’m glad you found me, too.”

Bucky moved to lay his hand on Steve’s thigh, quiet for a moment. “The world isn’t the same.” he replied, a twinge of regret in his voice as he sat beside Steve. “We don’t need a permanent place, though, right?” he asked after another long moment. “We didn’t need a home back during the war, we just needed each other.” He moved to lean against Steve, resting his head on the blonde’s shoulder. “We only need each other to be home, right?”

Steve

Steve looked up as Bucky came back out of the bathroom. He leaned back against the headboard of the bed and shrugged. “A month now, maybe?” he thought about it then nodded. “Yeah, that sounds about right. Still can’t believe you managed to track me down. I”m not even using my real name anymore at these places. You feel better now with a shower and clean clothes? Pizzas will be here soon.”

Bucky shrugged. “I figured you’d try to have a place like back home.” he replied. “Shuri said she couldn’t find you, so I told her look for hotels with small rooms and at least three floors. She was confused, but when she found a list, I started going to each one. The last few weeks have been a lot of trvael and watching buildings.” he chuckled. Looking down, he nodded. Steve’s clothes were actually a little loose on him, but he didn’t mind. He walked over to the bed and moved to sit next to Steve. “I’m just glad I finally lucked out.”

Steve

Steve smiled up at him softly. “Yeah… you finally are,” he said softly. As Bucky headed into the bathroom, Steve picked up his phone and called the nearby pizza place and ordered three large pizzas, breadsticks, and sodas to be delivered as soon as possible. That done, he ended the call and went through his clothes, pulling out some sweat pants and a t-shirt he knew would fit the other man, taking them to the bathroom.

“Clothes are on the sink,” he called to the other before heading out to the main room once more.

Bucky was enjoying the feel of the hot shower when he heard Steve speak. “Thanks.” He answered, finishing up his shower. He dried off and dressed, walking out into the room while running the towel through his hair. “So how long have you been at this one?” he asked, setting the towel down to run his hand through his hair and get it out of his face.

Steve nodded slowly and pressed up closer to Bucky, kissing him in return. “Yeah… I know… I should’ve known you’d find me. You always do after all, huh?” He kissed him again softly once more. “You could use a shower and some food, I’m thinking. Why don’t you go clean up and I’ll get some delivery food sent up if that sounds like a good plan to you?”

Bucky felt like an ache in his chest was going away finally. Feeling Steve kiss back was like heaven and he smiled into it, humming softly. “Yeah, it’d be nice, now that I know I found the right place.” he teased, moving to get up. He paused to lean over and kiss him again. “I’m finally home, Stevie.”

Bucky’s Verses

Main [ not sure I’m worth all this;; main Bucky ]

Bucky went into war because he wanted to serve, and stayed there when Steve joined the ranks. After his fall and subsequent torture and branwashign from HYDRA, even in the deepest part of his mind, Bucky saw the worst of humanity, and now, resurfaced, mind free of HYDRA’s switch, he doesn’t flinch when it comes time to make a choice between his comrades or letting the bad guys kill more. He can’t go back to hoping everyone will listen given the chance, not after everything he’s seen and been forced to do.

Jaguar [ fierce eyes and fiercer claws;; jaguar Bucky ]

Bucky was always dangerous in the sense of his charm and smile. But when he hit puberty and he was able to shift into an elegant and rare white jaguar, his damger became much more. His movements more fluid and his charm much more engaging, the feline is dangerous when tested.

Winter Soldier [ ready to comply;; Winter Bucky ]

Cold, calculating and mostly a living weapon, Winter doesn’t understand deep emotions, but he can be made to reason since he isn’t continuosly truend into a blank slate by electroshock.

Vampire [ survived in darkness;; vampire Bucky ]

HYDRA didn’t just turn Bucky into a mindless weapon, they turned him immortal, putting him on ice between missions to increase his bloodlust. Serum tests were run until he could withstand sunlight like a normal person and making him even more deadly. Now recovering from the mind control, Bucky struggles to keep himself hidden, feeding only from willing people and never enough to kill.

Steve looked up at him slowly. “You… you remember…” he said quietly. “You remember us?” He set the bottle down on the coffee table and gripped Bucky’s hand in his own. “What do you remember? When did you remember?”

Bucky couldn’t deny how good it felt to feel Steve’s hand in his own. “I’ve remembered bits and pieces.” he replied. “I remember going out and pretending we were takin’ girls out but we’d never bring them home and we shared your bed.” he replied. “I remember always bein’ worried about ya when ya got real sick. Singing ya to sleep and the slow dances in the kitchen…” he licked his lips and smiled, his accent coming out thicker as emotion welled in his chest at confirmation that he wasn’t dreaming. “It started before you found me in Bucharest. But it wasn’t clear enough, and real small bits, like flashes.” he explained. “Being out of cryo finally gave me time to put them together. That’s part of why I asked Shuri to help me find you. I needed to find you.”

Steve nodded slowly and smiled softly. “Sometimes they’d get a bit put out that we weren’t bringing them back home with us,” he remembered. “But all I remember caring about was getting back home to being just with you. Even after the war, when I found you overseas… we shared a tent… the Howlies knew but they never said a word. Dum Dum didn’t leave my side for the first four days after you fell from the train. Then the mission came up and he didn’t have a choice. I know he probably hated it but then he took over and when I started looking over all the old files… he did a great job.” He sighed softly.

“I’m glad you found me, Bucky. I’ve missed you. I’ve missed so much about you… about us.”

Bucky laughed a little. “I would always go slow and easy. I didn’t want to hurt you.” The memories were frequent enough to put a timeline to it now, everything he’d remembered he had finally gotten in an order that made sense to him. He watched Steve, pale blue lighting with pure love as he watched the only man he’d ever loved speak. “They knew that us bein’ in love only made us deadlier in combat.” he explained. His smile fell a little. “I don’t…I don’t remember falling.” he replied. “I know I did, it’s how I lost my arm, but I don’t…” His hand squeezed Steve’s gently. “I remember the train, I remember the side exploding, and reaching for you, but the actual fall, being found….I don’t really remember any of that. It kind of goes from reaching to you straight to waking up after they attached my arm and telling me you’d died.” His vision blurred a little. “I killed dozens of them for the first year while they put me through all the conditioning. And yeah, they finally pulled all my memory out, but your were still there. Things that didn’t hinder my effectiveness as a weapon were still there. Staying to the right side in dark alleys, never putting anything in my left pockets, sleeping facing the doorway…none of them understood it. Hell, I didn’t even understand it until the conditioning started clearing up.”

“I missed you, too. So much. You should know I would have found you anywhere, Stevie. I promised you I would always find a way home, wherever that was.” He leaned over to kiss Steve, hand moving to pull Steve closer to him. “I love you.”
