"They're like candy for your brain. Terrible for you, but once you had it, that's all you want to gnaw on," Bucky said with a laugh. "I probably forget how to read anything decent now. But don't care - wasn't looking through a lot of high literature all the time before anyway." They made him smile when he hadn't been smiling at all, and they took him out of his own head. And he'd started stealing them as a tiny act of dumb defiance that made him feel like he could do something. Small and stupid, but still something. So they were his. But oddly, he liked sharing it, once he had with Natasha. It was like showing someone shitty fingerpaintings he'd done as a kid or something. Look at this. Isn't it great? Isn't it the worst thing? When Natasha, or Sam now, laughed too, Bucky got a little thrill of accomplishment.
The Victors had say on their houses - to a point. They all had the same basic layout, they all had to be camera friendly enough to let people in. If they had their own apartments, they had more free rein. Bucky had never done anything with his house. It looked more or less like they'd set it up to look, except for a few things moved from their old house. His sister and mother's rooms were more personalized, but only because Rebecca had done it.
"Yeah. I get it." Sometimes, you just didn't feel like bothering for no reason. "You have to bring us in here, when they make you drag us in? Or could you just take us somewhere you like?" Bucky asked, a little curious. He shrugged. "You could probably fix it up. But it's a Capitol office. Couple of us that spent time in those with docs or whoever - 'salways gonna look like one because of the view out the window and the chrome around."
"I could sew you some nice damn curtains, Wilson, but you'd have to ask nicer than that," Bucky said, deadpan. "And it's not just clothes. They don't tell you 2 boys anything. 'swhere the fabric comes from. Big factories for it. So without us, all those style types wouldn't have anything to make themselves look dumb in," Bucky said with a grin. "But 2 - just rocks." And peacekeepers, but Bucky wasn't touching that.
