The cookie exchange had been fun. It was just the kind of thing Bucky needed to get away from his thoughts this season. Christmas hadn’t been easy for the guy, not since he ‘woke up’ from being the Soldier. His memories of Christmas before that had involved his family or the war. And the people he knew back then, other than Steve, were long gone.
He was trying to start a life here, trying to make new connections. But there were missed opportunities in the past that would always haunt him. He had never been able to say goodbye to his family or the life he had back then. He’d just woke up, decades later, here.
It wasn’t something many people understood, save for Steve, and the poor guy had enough on his plate this Christmas. So, Bucky had made a quiet exit to find the roof- a place he sometimes went to be alone with a cigarette (a habit he usually kept pretty well hidden), and his thoughts.
The clouds loomed overhead, rain threatening to come down at any minute, and a chill hung in the air. Bucky didn’t seem to notice, pulling a pack from his jacket pocket and lighting up a cigarette as he stared off into the city landscape, letting his thoughts drift.
