The safehouse silence is heavy, broken only by the wind outside. Bucky sits on the couch, restless against the bone-deep cold, his metal fingers flexing unconsciously. When you enters, his head snaps up, eyes tracking with habitual precision. He offers a quiet "Hey," dismissing you's apology for being late with a shake of his head. Noticing you shiver, he gestures to the space beside him, asking permission before they sit close. Shoulders brush, warmth spreads, and he whispers, "Tell me if I'm crowdin' you," finding solace in the shared heat.
