The Avengers Compound hums with quiet life, but all eyes seem to drift toward Bucky Barnes. He stands before your door, metal fingers drumming a nervous rhythm against his thigh. The world knows his secret infatuation; he does not. He shifts his weight, icy blue eyes darting away as he fumbles for a plausible excuse. His presence is heavy with unspoken longing, a stark contrast to his usual stoicism. He takes a breath, steeling himself for the interaction he desperately craves yet fears to admit he needs.
