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.

	"Agreed." Bucky grinned, holding the door open for both of them and keeping the drawing very carefully held in his other hand. "I think there's a place over here, kinda department store-ish?" he suggested, gesturing down the road. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, it should be down that way." He nodded. "We can start that way at least." He smiled and headed in the direction Bucky pointed. "Wasn't there a store that had a bunch of frames in it? Or am I remembering wrong?" He'd actually experienced a couple of occasions when memories from his short time in Brooklyn melded into memories from growing up on the island.

	"Actually yeah, I think there was." Bucky remembered a few seconds later, "Only question is if it's here yet or not." he hadn't looked around a whole lot since the place has rearranged itself and wasn't entirely sure what was there or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We can keep an eye out for it while we head to the other store." He nodded. He really did hope that it was there already. He stopped after a few more seconds of walking. "What about that antique store? The one the doc lives above? It's here, right?" He couldn't remember when it showed up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bucky stopped short once he realized Steve had, standing hald a step in front of him and looking back. "Y'know, yeah, I think it is." Bucky grinned, his papa might not be the biggest fan of something big and antique but since mama had decorated most of the house anyway it'd fit right in. And he thought papa would like the picture enough not to mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Let's check there, it's bound to have something." He smiled. He turned in a circle and then scratched his head. "I think it's this way." He headed down a side street. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bucky couldn't help smile a little watching Steve but followed him. He wasn't particularly sure where it was either but worst they could do was wander around a little so he followed Steve who at least seemed to have an idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think a nice silver frame will be good." Steve shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked. "Though a black Frame would work, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-04 02:37 am UTC (link)
	Bucky held out the drawing to look at it as they walked. "Silver." he agreed, thinking it'd look best against the white and grey of the drawing without taking away from it too much, "And not just cause I deserve something nice and fancy." he added with a smirk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-04 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Steve looked over his shoulder at Bucky. "You do deserve something fancy." He grinned. It only lasted a second before he tripped on a cracked part of the sidewalk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bucky swore and quickly dove to try and catch Steve, the picture momentarily forgotten and falling to the ground as he desperately reached to try and get hold of his friend before he hit the ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve grabbed onto Bucky when he got close enough and tried to keep from dragging both of them down. He managed to get his feet under him, but he didn't let go, at least not at first. A slight blush on his cheeks, he stright ended up and cleared his throat. "Guess I better watch where I'm walking." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bucky let out a quick breath of relief as his arms made it around Steve and he felt the hands on him too. He knew Steve was stronger than he looked but he was still a pretty small guy and when he got hurt it could still sometimes be hard for him to get better. Bucky still had his hands on Steve's arms, looking him over, making sure he was alright, "It happens." he shrugged slightly.

	Steve just nodded and let Bucky check him over. It was almost a routine by this,point. Whenever Steve got hurt, Bucky was there to make sure it wasn't too bad. "I'm okay." He smiled softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-04 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"Good." Bucky smiled, still standing there holding on to him for a moment. Then it was like something slapped him upside the head and suddenly he let go, turning to pick up the drawing again. "Shit, sorry. Hope it's alright." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-04 06:55 am UTC (link)
	"As long as it didn't get wet, I'm sure it's fine." Steve smiled. "And if it did get wet....I'm in one piece so I can draw another one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-04 07:07 am UTC (link)
	Bucky blew on the drawing to try and get as much of the dirt off as he could without smudging the pencil. "Yeah but I like this one." he smiled, glad to see it was alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-04 07:11 am UTC (link)
	"I'm glad you like it." He patted Bucky's shoulder. "I think the shop is down this way." This time he actually took Bucky's hand before he started walking again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-04 07:20 am UTC (link)
	Bucky didn't think much of it when Steve took his hand, he just didn't want to fall again right? So he held on and followed closely until they were side by side again. "So did I miss anything good in the year between us?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-04 07:25 am UTC (link)
	Steve had to think for a moment as they walked. "I don't know if I would call it good but I had to get my appendix out about six months ago." He smiled a little as he remembered Bucky sitting by his bed the whole 48 hours he was in the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-04 07:29 am UTC (link)
	"Sometimes I swear your own body is your worst enemy, despite how many enemies you manage to make on your own." he teased lightly, despite the fact that he worried to hell every time Steve got sick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-04 07:33 am UTC (link)
	"At least an appendix is something easily treated." He smiled. "And I got a cool scar." Steve chuckled. He had definitely been through much worse in his life. And Bucky was always there. "I think sometimes I pick fights with people because I can't exactly pick a fight with myself." He couldn't punch his allergies or yell at the arrhythmia. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-04 07:40 am UTC (link)
	Knowing how much Steve hated how he could get sick it took just about everything Bucky had not to stop and give him a bearhug right there on the sidewalk, instead just squeezing his hand a bit tighter. "And well, that's one less thing you gotta worry about now too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sickbuttsteve 2016-04-04 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Steve nodded. "Wasn't quite as much fun as when I had my tonsils out when I was 12." He chuckled. "So much pudding." He grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2016-04-04 07:48 am UTC (link)
	Bucky laughed, "Remember my super brilliant idea to freeze a can of soda so I could make you a soda slushie?" he almost giggled, "I still can't believe just how much that thing coated the freezer." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
