The bar was dark, but Steve had brought a few candles along to light and place around the counter. It didn't do all that much to illuminate the space, but it was enough for Steve to be able to see behind the bar. Normally, the blonde preferred to drink beer, but since the power had been out for two days by that point, the drinks inside the small refrigerator had neared room temperature. So, whiskey it was. It was difficult to describe how he felt. Relieved, of course, was at the top of the list. Bucky had indeed returned to the hotel, and not as the Winter Soldier, so that was something to be grateful for. However, once Bucky explained what point in time he had come from, Steve's heart couldn't help but sink. Bucky came from a place where Steve was no longer around, all because of one reckless decision. One that he sorely regretted. Steve felt guilty for wanting to complain to Tony about all of this. Especially since there technically wasn't anything wrong. Bucky had come back to him. What was there to be upset about? Regardless, Steve would be standing behind the bar when Tony joined him. He pulled out an empty glass, gesturing to the selection of whiskies lined up on the counter for his friend to pick from. "I'd ask if you want it on the rocks but uh, the ice machine seems to be broken." He offered a half smile and a shrug, as if that was the only appliance not working around there.. |
