You've reached Sarah Wilson and Wilson Family Seafood, I'm probably out fixing the boat, or trying to get the boys to school, or packing up the catch for the market or about a thousand other things so I can't pick up the phone right now. So leave me a message and I'll get back to you when I can.

...you lost me at True Blood. [That storyline might need a whole evening in and of itself to unpack and he will have questions about Sookie's life choices, as hypocritical as that would be coming from Bucky Barnes of all people. But hey, no explanation required. He's been caught in much worse situations that he can't explain himself out of.

He gently snips Sarah free after deeming the knots and tangles too time-consuming to try and undo. Pulling away at the excess netting to free her, he rests his hand on her calf and takes a final look for any welts or cuts. So far, so alright.]


Alright. I think we're good. [He straightens up and offers a hand to help her step out of that entangled bundle.]

I um. I-- brought you some more Captain Morgan. [He gestures over his shoulder to where the flowers and the liquor are. He clearly hasn't done this Netflix and chill thing in a while. Or, well. Maybe ever. He can do manhandling but being a smooth operator while manhandling might need a bit more work.]

[So, it doesn't sound like a work of art that should go down on his list of things he needs to catch up on over the past few decades. Still, he doesn't mind a bit of mindless entertainment. Especially if it means a potentially less awkward few hours with a newly-minted drinking buddy.]

I'll help with that, sure. And anything else you need. [Nobody's saying that what Sam is doing isn't important, but it's tough being out here raising the boys and trying to run a business and trying to be there for the community on her own. If he can even chip in a little bit, give her a little less stress for the day, he would feel a lot better about it for the both of them.

He carries the booze and the tools back to the house, setting them down on the kitchen counter once they're inside. He's been around often enough that he helps himself to the glasses to pour out the rum without asking.]


Why don't you watch it on TV if the kids aren't around? [He's an old man. He doesn't understand the obsession with the small screen. Also, he doesn't realise how porny True Blood is. Probably wouldn't have asked otherwise.]

Well, I'm too old and fragile to be taking that kind of hit, so forget I asked. [There is a natural comfort with which he sits down right next to her and puts an arm up behind her shoulders over along the top of the couch. This is basically his couch; he knows every lump and bump on it, and her with her hospitality and not asking a million questions or jumping to judgemental conclusions, she puts him at ease.

He takes a sip of rum and makes a face - clearly, not really much of a seasoned drinker - before leaning forward and setting the glass down on the coffee table. He inadvertently touches her with his other arm by doing so, but his wordless apology comes by way of his thumb stroking her shoulder and upper arm.]


Are you going to take the boat out tomorrow, or do you take it easy after a night with Captain Morgan? Or... Do you ever take it easy? [He may be slightly worried that he's just cut a hole in tomorrow's haul.]

Well I'm enjoying my night off right now. [He takes plenty of time off - some might argue he has taken more time off than anyone else. He can afford to put his back into it a little more.]

Technically I messed it up so I'm happy to crash here tonight and lend a hand tomorrow. If you'll have me, of course. [It wasn't his intention to bring some drinks and just invite himself to stay.

Sam might have the weight of the country and the rest of the world on his shoulders. Bucky's still dealing with his own sins. Starting small. Taking things one night at a time. He'd be more than happy with small, incremental steps of progress, helping out just in his little circle of trusted acquaintances. Maybe he can figure himself out along the way. Eventually.]

Well, you know, I could be getting shot at, or knitting a sweater at home. [Jokes aside, sitting on the floor alone in his apartment is the best case scenario. He's usually trying to stay up and stave away the nightmares and flashbacks, or doing homework so his therapist won't write some terrible evaluation of his progress. This is... supposed to be good for him, isn't it? Getting to know people, having something to do that isn't just fighting all the time?]

I can't say I've spent that much time out in a boat on the water, but I'll make myself useful. [It might not be as peaceful as a small plot of land with a few goats to watch over, especially if the water's going to get choppy, but at least they're not getting shot at by all the fish in the sea. That's definitely going to be a bonus.]

I know it's your family business, but it's not an easy one to run on your own. You never thought about leaving, doing something else?

[Bucky, a little bit clueless sometimes that he is, hasn't quite picked up on the fact that he's permanently interrupted her marathon. He's happy to shut up if she wants to watch her show but he seems to be quite comfortable lounging around next to her. Well, apart from the fact that he's getting up to play fetch for a few seconds.]

Just bringing the bottle over. [And he'll just top her up by a finger before setting the bottle down on the coffee table and sitting back down again. He's going a little slower with his own drink, but he can catch up before she gets the chance to get too drunk.]

You know, I never thought about that when I signed on. I just-- there was a war. I was young, and cocky, and it was just the right thing to do. These last few years I'm... seeing more and more, what's happening to people who get left behind. Nothing like half the world vanishing to make you feel alone. Makes you wonder where the fight really is sometimes.

[That does get a little laugh out of him, and puts more colour in his cheeks than the rum does.] Yeah, you'd be surprised what other features this old, refurbished model comes with.

[He cradles his drink in his lap, chipping away at it slowly and quietly nodding. He could fill his little red notebook with all the things in this new, modern world he needs to catch up on, and still not understand how much times have changed. Things certainly feel a lot less black and white, and oftentimes you can't see the enemy through a rifle-mounted scope anymore.

Even those bad guys in world war 2, what they did to him, heinous as it was, they saved his life. And there were bad guys perfectly comfortable on home turf telling her parents where they could sit, stand, go to school at, what kinds of jobs they could and couldn't have. It's not so clear cut back then as people like to think it was.]


I'd-- well. You did ask for a hand, but I chose to come here. [He turns to flash her a tight-lipped smile, resting a hand on her ankle.]

I like--... [Well, this is awkward. Anything he says would make it sound like he'd come here expecting something, which wasn't the case at all. He falters a bit before he tries to backtrack - salvage? that non-starter with a small smile and a slight duck of his head.]

I like it here.

[He wouldn't be so facetious as to pretend that he looks out for the little guy all the time. His friends are usually off doing those big and grand things, sure, and sometimes he tags along. Sometimes he just wants to be somewhere like here.]

You're important to me. [That much he is willing to say with a tight-lipped smile and a small shrug. He doesn't always feel safe to be around, and there are days where even getting out of bed can be a struggle, but she can expect to have him hover around more often on those days where he doesn't feel like such a burden.

Of course, the boys are important too. There's something to be said about sitting next to them watching the game on TV, taking some gentle ribbing from them and dishing it back. Those little doses of normalcy do more for him than they realise.]


You're coming through for me too. [He's not particularly good with words or with initiating contact, but he manages a small squeeze of her ankle which he happens to still be having a hold of and just-- hopes he can get away with that without needing to use his words.]

[It wouldn't be all that off-brand if Bucky just blows this moment with a awkward comment or gesture or something that'll just pull the handbrakes on all this the moment he starts to overthink things. Having regained control over a number of things in his life, it's a difficult balancing act to know when to hold on and when to let go.

In this instance, it seems for the better if he just lets go. Leaning in a little closer, he moves to slide his hand up along her jaw, thumb brushing over her cheek moments before he presses his lips against hers. Chaste at first, a little uncertain - look, it's been a while, cut him some slack - and his shoulders are tense and tight before a slow exhale has him telling himself to relax.

She's got maybe three seconds to nudge at him to tell him to slow down before he's trying to lean and shuffle in even closer, on track to ending up with either him straddling her lap or them both lying on the couch in some entangled configuration.]

[She doesn't know the half of his story and he's only let on bits and pieces. Suffice to say, it's not going to look anything like what it looks like in True Blood. There's going to be at least one awkwardly-placed elbow and something getting too close to his balls for comfort and ow - no, haha, don't worry, it's fine - before they settle down in a somewhat comfortable arrangement on the couch. He barely manages to fit without hanging an arm or leg off the edge.]

Yeah. [He's more than okay with it. Nipping gently at her lips, he flashes her a small smile before he attempts a deeper, slower kiss, one hand curling into her top while the metal arm stays steady on the couch, keeping most of his weight off of her.]

I like you. [His voice drops to a low growl in between gentler kisses that start migrating to the side of her neck. It's easier to admit now that he's on top of her, that she seems open to the topic.] I like you a lot. [And how he doesn't have to hide a lot of the things he keeps hidden from other people. She makes him feel at home in all the ways that can be interpreted.]

...right. [He'll grow out of defaulting to couches and floors eventually. For now she manages to get him to slow down, ease up, sit back on his heels. He takes one last glance around the living room, like he's expecting they'll get jumped when they lower their guard, before he offers a hand to help her up and let her guide him to her bedroom.

He chases her down onto the bed, gets her sitting in a more comfortable and spacious sea of sheets as he nips at her lips again, hands in the hem of her shirt lingering before he tries to undress her. The cold backs of his curled metal fingers brush lightly against her skin, but he seems to prefer touching her with the hand he can actually feel her with.

The moment of self-consciousness comes when he takes his own shirt off, exposing scars he doesn't really want to talk about, but the hesitation ebbs and fades as he runs his hand slowly down the side of her torso and kisses her again.]

[He was a very different guy once upon a time. He's not sure if that guy will ever come back, honestly, but he's working on something in between that guy who was, and the guy he's supposed to be now, and hopefully there'll be a workable medium between 'socially awkward' and 'garishly outgoing'.

The bed is almost a little too soft for someone who spends most of his nights on the floor, and a half-gasp lodges itself in his throat when they eventually wind up lying side by side. He feels a little more secure on all fours, which he returns to with a small laugh, nibbling and nipping a path from the side of her neck down to her collarbone, her chest. He almost melts with her hand in his hair, a terrible side effect from not being touched in... longer than he cares to admit. The sensation feels almost foreign.]


Sarah... [God she's... doing something to him. Hands on her hips, forehead on her shoulder, his voice a low rumble against her warm skin, he balances himself on his knees as he tries to take more of her clothes off, though he might need a bit of her help there.]
