[But when Bucky leans in just to rest their foreheads together, he does that, too, without pushing for more. It's nice, too, just leaning close, after being apart for so long.]
I'm not sure. I - at least the night.
[Not that he's insinuating anything by it, but he did maybe try to make arrangements such that nothing will fall apart immediately.
Although, their lives are chaotic. He can't promise, but he will try his damnedest.]
Could even make you breakfast in the morning. Better than cold pizza.
[Could they get interrupted? Sure. But he'll take his chances. He exhales and shifts closer, winding his arms around Steve's waist and pressing a kiss to his temple.]

There's worse things than being a kept man, if you're doing the keeping.

Date: 2025-05-28 12:54 am (UTC)[He wants to be stuck with him forever, even if he's not sure fate will allow it.]

Date: 2025-05-28 02:30 am (UTC)[He bumps Bucky's nose with his, then pulls back a little, to get a good look at him.]
How are you? Really.
(no subject)
Date: 2025-05-29 11:23 pm (UTC)I'm...not sure what I've gotten myself into if I'm being honest. But I guess I'll figure it out. Maybe.
(no subject)
Date: 2025-06-01 10:45 pm (UTC)You want some help? With figuring it out.
[He doesn't want to overstep bounds. He hasn't been able to be here.
But he's here now, if Bucky wants to talk. Or they can ignore it. He will do whatever Bucky wants.]

Date: 2025-06-01 11:16 pm (UTC)[Is there a hint of a smirk on his face? Yes, yes there is.]
(no subject)
Date: 2025-06-02 12:47 am (UTC)Right now... catching up.
Which sounds like a euphemism for more kissing, maybe.
[He might be stepping closer again, reaching up to run fingers through Bucky's hair.]

Date: 2025-06-02 01:13 am (UTC)[The lines around his eyes crinkle as he smiles at Steve and he leans in, resting his forehead against the other's.]
How long can you stay? [He rests his hands on Steve's hips.]

Depends on what you plan on makin'.
(no subject)
Date: 2025-06-04 03:57 pm (UTC)But a little bit of everything, maybe. Eggs, bacon, pancakes...
[He's not the world's best cook, but he can manage breakfast food.]

Date: 2025-06-08 12:00 am (UTC)[Sorry Bucky now he's just being intentionally insufferable.]
(no subject)
Date: 2025-06-08 12:43 am (UTC)I'd say you're right. You're pretty lucky.
(no subject)
Date: 2025-06-08 01:06 am (UTC)[He lets out a breath.]
Not lucky it's been so long, though.
[He is sorry.]

Date: 2025-06-09 06:02 pm (UTC)[He's definitely planning to take advantage of Steve being here tonight, though.]
