( WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE IN MINE )
[ truth be told, bucky's grateful when both sam and sarah invite him to stay a little longer. he knows he's overstayed his welcome by a fortnight… and overstayed that overstay by four weeks. his bags have remained packed—although, that's not uncommon for him. his apartment back in new york is sparse with only a few bits of furniture his next door neighbour had kindly bullied him to buy. it's best neither wilson knows; sam will look at him with a pathetic look of pity and sarah… he wants to avoid seeing her frown.
when sam gets a surprise call from the ominous nick fury and needs to be out for a few days without his shadow, bucky promises him he'll ensure things at the house and with the boat remain floating. it's not without a quiet little threat of "don't flirt with my sister" and "don't smile, it's creepy" that he finally allows himself to go. bucky itches to follow, but he doesn't. he's needed here to ensure aj and cass don't get caught by their mom when they decide to sneak out and touch the redwing sam's left behind or go sit by the pier when they can't sleep. he likes the fact he has good, innocent secrets with someone now. one day, he's sure they'll outweigh all the bad, bloody secrets he has.
after pulling some of aj and cass' toys out from the usual dirt pathway to the back, bucky slips off his boots and quietly steps inside of the back of the house. despite having the intention of walking back into the living room and to his designated couch, he turns on his feet and leans against the frame of the kitchen entrance, watching sarah as she does sarah things. he never wants to get in the way of her routine. she flutters around on autopilot most of the time. bucky never thought he'd find anyone who could walk circles around him, but he's found that if he stays still and in place, he won't be in the way. ]
I know I've been hogging your couch for a long time. [ despite leaning against the frame and standing on the threshold of the kitchen, he scratches the fingers of his right hand against the metallic wrist of his left. ] I can go get a hotel room. It doesn't worry me.
