Things with his parents had gone better than he expected, but it was still a little weird. He was able to talk his dad into letting him leave so that he could meet Bucky, but also so that he and Stacey could talk. He'd borrowed a pair of his dad's jeans and some sneakers, though he kept with the bright blue t-shirt he'd shown up in. It didn't take him long to get outside the apartments, checking his phone as he waited.

	"Hmm?" Steve asked before turning. He looked over at the sketch book and turned bright red. He was pretty sure he'd never moved as fast as he did to get across the room and close the book. "I....um...it was just....a thing." He couldn't get his brain to cooperate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He really tried not to but, despite the little hints of red in his cheeks and his attempts to not embarrass Steve any more, he laughed softly. "A thing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just, a thing yeah." Steve cleared his throat. "Guess you wouldn't believe me if I said they were for somebody else, huh?" He looked down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Jeez, relax." Bucky smiled a little and put a hand on Steve's shoulder, "I don't mind, it was a pretty flattering depiction actually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve took a deep breath, though he was still blushing. "I did kind of have to guess on some parts of it." He bit his lips. "Just sometimes get something in my head and it won't leave me alone until I get it down on paper." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bucky tried not to think much of it, figuring it was just an idea, like a song that got stuck in his head, and that he was one of the ones Steve spent most of his time around so it was bound to be him in at least some of his drawings. "It's okay Steve, really." He hadn't quite caught up yet that Steve kept mentioning they and them, meaning there would have been more than one.

	Steve smiled and nodded. "It's still a little embarrassing. I'm glad you're not mad, though." He slipped the sketchbook into the desk drawer before Bucky got an idea to look through it. There were others in a stack in the corner of the desk as well. "So, all of my clothes seem to be here, though I haven't really taken stock of my underwear." He chuckled.

	Bucky flopped on to Steve's bed, "Got all your clothes, meds and sketch books, looks like the island was kind to you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And laptop is at Mom and Dad's so I do have everything. At least the important stuff." His eyes flicked to Bucky briefly as he looked through his art supplies. "Probably need new pencils soon but that's about ut." He shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-03 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	"At least there's some good luck there." Bucky had lounged himself out across Steve's bed, one arm bent and under his head. "I know there's at least one art store that's actually run by a few people here and I think I saw a place on the way that might have some too if you wanted to dig around for them."

	"Maybe later." Steve grabbed one of his empty books and a pencil. Everything was almost on automatic as he sat down and started to sketch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Buck knew what he was up to right away. It happened all the time since they'd been kids, though once they were a little older it became less Steve telling Bucky to sit still while he fidgeted about from thing to thing and more Bucky realizing what Steve wanted and holding still without needed to be told. It was kind of nice he found, to let himself just be still and not really think or do anything for a few minutes. "You never told me how they took things this morning?" he asked softly, relaxed as he lay back and let Steve work

Steve kept his eyes on his drawing. "Mom thought I was Dad at first." He chuckled softly. "Had to keep reminding myself that I was still calling her Miss Stacey at this point." He hadn't started officially calling her Mom until he was 9. "Dad just kind of rolled with it but I could tell he was annoyed." He figured that was just because of the missing out on things.

	Bucky nodded just the slightest. "Yeah, I think mine were about the same. I came not long after Maria so I think they were grateful for the help but a little bummed they ended up missing so much." he paused a little bit, "It's alright now though, I think." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-03 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"That's good." He nodded, then looked up at Bucky. "Hey, this means I don't have to deal with Maria following me around like a lost puppy all the time." He chuckled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-03 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Bucky laughed softly. "For a few years at least. She still might find you completely fascinating." He knew some of it had to do with Steve being one of a few who learned sign with her, but there was something else they'd never quite figured out too, since she hadn't done the same with Stevie or mary or even Luke who was so much closer to her age.

	Steve smiled, the he realized something else. "Rachel Cuddy is just a little girl right now." He shook his head. The two had dated briefly when he was sixteen. "This is going to be so weird." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-03 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Yup, I think you were coloring with her pretty frequently lately." Bucky had to admit he'd been a little torn by their relationship, something between being happy Steve was happy and a little bit jealous for reasons he still hadn't figured out completely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-03 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	"That's how it all started." He chuckled softly. He occasionally looked up to check his work even though he could draw Bucky from memory at that point. "She made the first move, too." There's whole relationship had been at Rachel's instigation. Steve cleared his throat. He'd never actually told Bucky why they'd broken up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bucky was perfectly comfortable, sprawled out on the bed so he didn't mind holding still, even if it wasn't completely needed. Part of him seemed to know that too, but it gave him excuse not to worry about what he was doing or that Steve's eyes were on him. "Tackle you over the crayons?" he teased lightly.

	Steve chuckled. "She asked me to be her valentine when I was 12 and she was 10. And every year until she was 14 when she asked me on a real date." He stuck his tongue out. "Her mom was not happy about it, but she said she knew me well enough she trusted me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He laughed and stuck his tongue out too. "Hey, she should've been thankful, you could've been Stevie, asking about once a week since she was six." Stevie was still a tiny sore spot with Bucky, but seeing how happy he really was with Mary and realizing that they could still be friends was helping him get over that. "Plus, how much could you guys get away with at 14 and 16."

	"Not as much as she wanted to." He muttered before shrugging. "We mainly just hung out and talked and stuff. Only difference was that she called me her boyfriend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bucky made a slight face, "That why you two called it off? You never did tell me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve took a deep breath and puffed out his cheeks before he let it out. "There were.....a couple of reasons." He cleared his throat. "Just kind of figured out she's not my type." He put the finishing touches on the sketch and then ripped it out of the book, moving over to sit next to Bucky. "Here, you can give it to your folks." He smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
