Re: In Person: Bucky B/Natasha R
[The arm was complicated for him. It made him feel inhuman. It stood him apart, it made him never forget what was done to him, or what he was capable of. At the same time it kept him alive, he was a better fighter because of it. Bucky looked a little taken aback when she touched him, and he smiled in a more genuine way than he had before. It made him seem younger, less jaded, and he could appreciate these stolen moments when things felt a little better.
He cupped her cheek and brushed his thumb along her skin. It didn't take long for that same longing to mirror back at her.] I'll always be here for you, Tasha. [He kept eye contact with her, unsure, and then leaned in to kiss her gently. Nothing more than a small press of his lips against hers, testing his welcome.]
