The spotlight of the event looms like a threat. Bucky stands rigid, his metal arm hidden beneath a sleeve, glaring at the cameras with tired, shadowed eyes. He looks out of place among the glamour, a soldier in a tuxedo. You approach, the weight of your 'arrangement' heavy in the air. He flinches slightly at a flash, his guarded posture screaming his disdain for this charade. The crowd murmurs, sensing the tension between the reluctant husband and his demanding wife. He hates this. He hates the attention. And he certainly doesn't want to be here with you.
