words are all we have
Who: Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes
Where: Room 728
When: 4/20
Rating: R (for non-sexual nudity)
Summary: Steve checks into Bucky's recovery methods, and the two of them learn some more about how they fit together.
The Story:
Steve doesn't hold Cami's stance of doctor-patient confidentiality against her. It's really a good thing that she wouldn't go blabbing about Bucky's case to anyone who asked, and that goes for any other patients she has too. Steve realizes that he's doing things the hard way, going around and asking other people instead of just directing those question to Bucky himself, but it's complicated. He doesn't think Bucky would out-and-out lie to him, but he's not sure that he'd tell the whole truth either.
Still, Steve's pretty much been left with no choice, and it's about time that he was an adult and stopped dancing around the subject. He doesn't want every interaction with Bucky to be about how he's coping, but maybe it's okay every once in and while.
He just has to figure out how to go about it, and while Steve might be resistant to the idea of therapy for himself, there are other ways to unwind. He doesn't take baths very often, used to the efficiency that a shower provides, but here in Wonderland he doesn't have to worry about that thing. So he draws a bath, the water almost scalding hot because that's the way he likes it, and then he eases in, letting out a sigh of relief as the tension starts to seep out of his muscles.
It's after a few minutes spent trying to read a book and not being able to get past the first page that Steve grabs for his phone, which he'd set nearby. Calling would maybe be the more direct way to do this, but instead he goes for a text message. Bucky sometimes does better with those, since he's given time to think of a response.
Did you see the announcement that Cami made today?
There. It pretty clearly forecasts what he's aiming to talk about, so there won't be any surprises.

no subject
He's not even looking at Steve right at that particular moment, but he feels like he knows every change in expression. He feels halfway human again, just knowing that he remembers the particular look of that smile with a clarity of detail that would make any artist envious. Then again, he used to spend a lot of time looking at Steve's face. He still does, when he thinks Steve isn't looking.
"You're a big sap, Rogers." He drops the towel back into his lap and reaches for Steve's face. He supposes he could stand up, but it's just as easy to pull Steve down and press a quick, close-mouthed kiss to his lips. "I appreciate it. It's not that I don't want to talk to you -- I guess I just hate that you've gotta carry the whole world and me, too."
no subject
Maybe this time around he'll actually sleep through the night. Wouldn't that be something?
Steve is a big sap when it comes to Bucky and he would never deny that, although he's still thrown off when he's pulled into the kiss, even if it only lasts for a second. There's something more casual about it, almost routine, that gives it extra meaning, and Steve's got a smile stuck on his face as he settles onto the bed.
"I've got super strength, remember?" he shoots back as he settles against the headboard. "And besides, I've never thought of you as a burden." He tilts his head to meet Bucky's gaze, his eyes wide open and intense as he adds: "I never will."
