Re: Bucky/Steve - Christmas morning
Steve didn't mind for a second standing there with Bucky pressed up against him, the way his cheek felt like it just sort of belonged up against his neck the way it was. It was probably a terrible sort of thought, considering his friend was in pain, but there it was anyway.
"I'm sorry," he said, pitching his voice low and soothing, even when Bucky pulled away. "Better now? Even a little?" He wanted to ask what the other man had remembered, but didn't want to put extra stress on him currently.
