Jan. 1st, 2020 06:09 pmBucky'd been fidgety throughout the debriefing with Fury, even if he hadn't moved a muscle as he listened to the mission -- another HYDRA target, smaller, on a remote island in the Pacific. Not the usual setup, which made him uneasy from the get-go. But there was something else, something nagging at him, something in Fury's tone that told him there was more to this mission than he was willing to divulge. It wasn't a surprise. Fury might not be HYDRA, but in some ways his methods were so similar that it felt like being back there anyway. He definitely believed in the need to know principle, and obviously he didn't feel like they needed to know whatever it was he was holding back. His gaze darted to Steve, wondering if he'd picked up on it, too.
But if Steve had, his expression didn't betray his thoughts.
He pressed his lips together as they were dismissed, Fury addressing him as the others agents involved in the mission filtered out of the room. "Barnes. Hang back a minute."
And there it was, he thought, meeting Steve's eyes only briefly before lingering as Fury requested. One the door was shut again, the other man turned to study him.
"You have a different mission while they're disabling all of HYDRA's operating systems and containing the operatives."
Bucky studied him just as intently, his voice flat when he responded. "Who'm I eliminating?"
If Fury was surprised by his response, he gave nothing away. "Your target is Katya Belyakov."
"Who is she?" His voice was wary.
"You sure you wanna know the details, Barnes?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.
"If you're asking me to murder someone, yes," Bucky said, jaw tightening.
Fury regarded him for a long moment. "Essentially, she's the of the most dangerous people in the galaxy. Mind control abilities that she's utilized to force others to commit her dirty work. She's likely being accompanied by a former SHIELD operative who turned out to be moonlighting for HYDRA, Grant Ward. I'd prefer him to remain alive. He's got a lot to answer for."
Every muscle in Bucky's body tensed at the information about Belyakov, but also the name Grant Ward, his stomach turning in recognition.
"Ah. See you're familiar with him then."
"Unfortunately," Bucky responded stiffly, struggling to maintain his composure. "I'm assuming this isn't an optional mission." There was a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"You knew when you signed the dotted line that there's no such thing here, Barnes. Is there a problem? Or do I need to go over the fine print of your contract to refresh your memory?"
Fuck you, he thought. "No, Sir. Am I free to go?"
"You're dismissed."

An hour later, he was suited up in his tac gear, breathing steady and even despite the wild pounding of his heart as he boarded the quinjet with a team he didn't know or trust, and the only person on the earth he truly did.

Date: 2020-01-12 02:33 am (UTC)He had the sense that Bucky was teasing him, even though his voice was utterly deadpan and serious, but he couldn’t tell. He swallowed again and spoke, his voice a little rough. “Oh,” he said. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to assume."

Date: 2020-01-12 04:20 am (UTC)He was almost babbling, unaccountably nervous. They’d admitted their love, done a lot of touching—but it had stayed resolutely PG. Maybe even more family friendly than that—they hadn’t even kissed. He didn’t know what boundaries Bucky had, only that he had the very strong sense that Bucky had them.

Date: 2020-01-12 04:26 am (UTC)"Most of it's still kinda...foggy, at best. This part of things. I feel like I used to be better at it." Truthfully he was pretty sure he used to be better at a lot of things than he was these days. He drew in a breath. "It was a shitty attempt at flirting, I guess."
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 04:40 am (UTC)“It was a fantastic attempt at flirting,” Steve said, his voice still low and a little rough. He leaned in just a little to kiss the top of Bucky’s head. “You got me really worked up. If this is you shitty at it, I’m not sure I could survive you excellent at it. I was just a little confused because I’ve been following your lead on what we do and that was a big jump.”
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 04:53 am (UTC)Truth be told, he didn't have an explanation for Steve about his sudden behavior. It had just felt right in the moment, to tease him and flirt. He was pretty sure teasing Steve had been a staple in their relationship from Before.
"I guess it was."

Steve couldn’t help the roughness in his voice, but he felt shy, too. He sometimes overwhelmed himself with how much he wanted Bucky.

Date: 2020-01-12 05:13 am (UTC)Steve dug in his fingers into Bucky’s hip and then let them dip just under the waistband of his tac pants, rubbing the skin he found there.
“Yeah,” Steve said. “Doesn’t have the ambiance, does it.”
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 05:21 am (UTC)"Far from it," he said roughly, swallowing hard.
Bucky reluctantly pulled back, lifting his sweatpants off the bed and kneeling down in front of him once more, skin feeling too warm all over. "Here." He held them the same way he had the boxers, so Steve could step into them easily.
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 05:29 am (UTC)He stepped into the pants, carefully. Instead of holding Bucky’s shoulder, he ever so gently dug his fingers into Bucky’s hair, scratching his scalp.
“The things you do to me, Buck.”

Date: 2020-01-12 05:37 am (UTC)"Steve," he groaned, eyes dilating as he looked up at him.

Date: 2020-01-12 05:44 am (UTC)“Yeah?” Steve asked, so low. “You like this, sweetheart?”

Date: 2020-01-12 05:51 am (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 05:59 am (UTC)He let go of Bucky’s hair. Not running away, not trying to make a huge deal of it, but sure that this was something he couldn’t let go unremarked on. Bucky was clearly into it—but he hadn’t expected a title. And with Bucky’s backstory, there was something nauseating about the unexpected Sir.
“Why’d you call me that, sweetheart?” he asked, voice gentle, no longer touching him. He hoped the answer was straightforward, that Bucky wanted to—he’ll see.

Date: 2020-01-12 06:11 am (UTC)“I’m just Steve, honey. When we’re doing this. I don’t outrank you,” he said, his voice still gentle.

Date: 2020-01-12 06:17 am (UTC)“Hey, no. No need to apologize. I just wanted to ask why, sweetheart. If it was because you were feeling good, because you were in the moment—that’s good. I like that. I like that you were in the moment, god, you’re beautiful.”
And maybe later, when Bucky is less vulnerable, Steve can ask him more about it.

Date: 2020-01-12 06:26 am (UTC)He knew the situation was weird, but he couldn't really explain his own reactions. He startled away when there was a knock on the door, and Bucky quickly tugged Steve's sweatpants up and around his waist, rising to his feet in one smooth movement before the door opened.
"All right, Captain Rogers. I've got your discharge paperwork all ready to be signed." The nurse from the day before stepped into the room, holding a clipboard and pausing when she saw his state of undress. Her face grew warm, but she looked back at the clipboard. "Dr. Stevenson would like to see you again on Friday to see how your hand is healing and see if physical therapy is good option for you."
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 06:31 am (UTC)It was a good thing Bucky was on top of things, because Steve was too wrapped up in what was happening between them to even notice the knock. Steve gaped like a fish out of water at the nurse for a long moment, his own cheeks warming, before he finally replied.
“Yes,” he said, vaguely. He fumbled the shirt over his shoulders, hissing a little at how he put pressure on the cast to get it through the sleeve. “I can do that. Just tell me the time. We have to go now, though. It’s important.”
Steve tried to project as much American Hero energy as he could and as little sense of very recently having his boyfriend on his knees as he could manage.
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 06:36 am (UTC)"Please do be careful. You're still seriously injured," she said with a frown.
"I'll make sure he doesn't overdo it," Bucky told her before Steve had a chance to respond.
She eyed his hand and then her clipboard and pen. "Are you able to sign for yourself? You could have Mr. Barnes sign for you, if that's easier."
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 06:39 am (UTC)Smiling at Bucky, a little crooked, he said, “Bucky can do it. He’s gonna take good care of me.”
Steve probably ended up putting more innuendo into that than he fully intended, but he was still pretty overwhelmed by being dressed by Bucky, some of the same shivers of pleasure in his careful buttoning of Steve’s shirt.
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 06:44 am (UTC)She gave them each a knowing look as she took the clipboard back. "Good luck," she said cheekily as she ducked out of the room again.
(no subject)
Date: 2020-01-12 05:29 pm (UTC)"C'mon," he said, leaving the room and giving Bucky a cue to follow by tugging on his shirt. Steve didn't talk, not in front of these people (a lot of whom who were unsubtly taking cell-phone pics, even though it was ass-o-clock in the morning at a hospital. People had no shame.) He did keep casting long, lingering looks at Bucky, considering.
He was thinking about a lot of things--playing over that moment of "sir" in his mind was one of them, but it wasn't the only one. It was twisted up with how beautiful Bucky had been, resting his head on Steve's thigh.
When the uber arrived, Steve opened the car door for Bucky, before circling around the other side to get in himself.
