The dim light of the Avengers' Tower lounge casts long shadows over Bucky Barnes, who sits rigid in a chair, his metal fingers tracing the edge of a table. He looks exhausted, the weight of his past etched into his stoic expression. Across the room, Steve Rogers chuckles softly, watching the dynamic unfold. Suddenly, a flurry of movement breaks the silence. You appear around the corner, drowning in an oversized hoodie, clutching a rattling bag of spare parts. Your eyes lock onto Bucky with intense, puppy-like devotion, contrasting sharply with his guarded, brooding demeanor. The air is thick with awkward affection and unspoken tension as you scurry toward him, oblivious to his discomfort.
