Where: The Park (That is mostly Central)
When: Saturday Morning
What: A run. The usual. These two.
Warnings: I...don't even know. Will update if needed!

It certainly wasn't the Hawaiian coast line but it was closer to that sense of home. There was an odd comfort in the trees lining the park's path completed by the benches and the right amount of litter that reminded you of where you were.

Steve did his best not to stop at every waste basket to pick up forgotten pages of news to toss away. Once a boy scout, always a boy scout.

He could keep pace with Bucky fairly well, which wasn't a surprise. Super Soldier Serum was good for that. Sam could always keep his footing well enough, even if Steve easily lapped him. He would have been lying if he didn't find enjoyment in every single one.

Moving at an easy pace, easy for the infamous Captain America, Steve shot a glance over toward his friend. "Want to tell me what those cardboard cut-outs were all about?" He grinned, chuckling through each breath in and out. "It's a shame they disappeared. I thought they added something to the place. I think the ostriches liked them, too."

Steve wasn't much of a practical joker by nature but he was picking up some tips and tricks along the way. He was almost certain he could convince Morgan to set them up again. Getting Bucky to hint on the location of the original? That would be difficult. That, alone, would most likely take an army.

Pausing at the rustling sounds as well, Steve followed Bucky's gaze and nodded. "Squirrel or not, I'd question any wildlife that lives around here." It was a miracle the trees and flowers didn't burst out into song every now and again all things considered. Even during the quiet and relaxed periods, Steve found himself always prepared for something rather than nothing.

Taking a few cautious steps over toward the noise, Steve pushed aside a few branches before taking an amusing tumble backward. Catching Steve off guard in such a manner was almost impossible. The dash of black, white, and pink was pretty quick, though. Rubbing a hand against his cheek, a comical pair of red lips staining it, Steve twisted enough to look back toward Bucky.

"Buck! At your six!"

On one hand, it wasn't like he'd never seen any wildlife here in the park during his runs or walks since he'd shown up. He'd not really paid any of them any attention unless it was watching the dire wolves chase around a squirrel or bird, but on the other hand... Steve had a point. He'd seen too many weird things not to question the rustling in the bushes.

Especially when said rustling turned out not to be any kind of squirrel he'd ever seen and jumped out straight at him.

Bucky went to duck out of the way, but whatever it was managed to wrap itself around his neck and tried to lick — no wait. That wasn't a lick, it was an over the top, loud kiss on the cheek. As soon as he realized what was happening, Bucky used his metal arm to forcibly pull the thing off of him, but somehow it was a lot stronger than it looked.

"Hellooooo Soldier!" It sing-songed and batted its eyes at him. Bucky was holding the thing by its neck away from him and looked over at Steve with a mix of shock and borderline horror.

"What the hell is this thing?"
