PSL for semistableman

[beardednomad]

[Everything had happened so fast. One minute everyone was fighting Thanos. Well, everyone they had left and even a few new faces, like the girl. Carol Danvers was the name she'd given them along with the explanation of her powers. Captain Marvel. He'd studied her a bit and they'd talked and he'd found that he'd liked her.

But that wasn't important now. During the battle there had been a moment. Steve wasn't sure what had led up to it, what had happened to give him that window of opportunity but they had all been fighting, everyone using everything they had left in them to battle Thanos and the next moment Steve had watched the gauntlet fall to the ground just within his reach. Really, there hadn't even been a moment of hesitation before he was picking it up. It was just like his thoughts had cleared and he knew what he had to do.

He hadn't even heard the others yelling at him at first as he'd slid the gauntlet on. The thing was huge, but he managed to make it work. His thoughts on everyone they had lost, on the mourning they had gone through. Tony said there could be a way to bring them back. What if it was as simple as another snap? Like the one Thanos had made, only with the intent of bringing everyone back? He didn't hear or see Tony, or Natasha, or any of the rest of the team yelling for him to stop. That they didn't know what could happen. All he could focus on was bring Bucky and everyone else back to them. And with that he closed his eyes and snapped.


-Weeks Later-


Even Steve should have known using something as powerful as the gauntlet would have come at a price. When he slowly opened his eyes he noticed just how weak he felt, how tired. Oh and he was sore. So very sore. He shifted ever so slowly, groaning quietly as his eyes started to adjust and almost immediately he saw the difference. Things didn't look quite the same as he expected. The colors off. He turned his head, lifting his hand to scrub his face which was when he noticed how small his hand and arm were.

Within moments, he was sitting up, staring down at himself in abject horror.]

Whats going on!?

[It was shouted as he looked around before his eyes landed on an all too familiar figure sitting in the chair next to the bed. It was then that everything was forgotten. The changes to his body, the pain and soreness, the confusion. It all melted away the moment he laid eyes on Bucky.]

[semistableman]

[Bucky props himself up on his elbows to watch Steve, expression warm and eager.

This? It's just like old times, a completely different lifetime ago, when they were both young and didn't have the weight of the entire world on their shoulders.

Something in him his excited at the idea that maybe, just maybe, they'll be able to pick back up from where they left off all those years ago.]

Much better.

[It's an easy agreement, wrapping his left arm around Steve, a bit of coolness to go with the warmth of the blankets.]

[beardednomad]

[Once he was back in the bed he smiled, enjoying the feel of Bucky's arm around him. He sighed, laying his head on the man's shoulder.

His head tipped back a bit more, licking his lips slowly, eyes widening.]

C'mon Buck...

[His hand trailed down along his side, fingers playfully tracing patterns down his stomach as he stared into his eyes.]

[semistableman]

[Bucky laughs quietly, wrapping his flesh arm around Steve after a moment, so he's holding his lover.]

You want me? Want this?

[beardednomad]

[He hummed, smiling and nodding as he pressed closer.]

Course I do. I always want you, Buck.

[semistableman]

Good.

[His voice is a purr. He leans in, head on Steve's shoulder.]

[beardednomad]

[After a few moments he moved so he had crawled into Bucky's lap, straddling the man. He lifted his head, pressing their lips together.]

Think you'll be okay with me being like this?

[semistableman]

[Bucky returns the kiss eagerly, smiling into it. God, he's missed this. Missed Steve.]

Of course I'm okay with it, Stevie.

[beardednomad]

[He hummed, arms looped around his shoulders as he kissed his cheek and then his jaw.]

I know. I just...I'm sorry. Kind of self conscious.

[He blushed, hands moving to brush over his skin and playfully slipping between them.]

[semistableman]

[He can understand, of course, why Steve would be so self conscious. It's kind of a dramatic change, though it doesn't stop him from smiling, pressing himself close, flesh hand moving to slide down Steve's side, groping his ass playfully.]

You've got nothing to worry about, not from me. You're my home, Stevie. Always have been, always will be.

[beardednomad]

[He sucked in a breath at that, wriggling his hips a bit before pushing his ass back into the man's hand.]

Just like you're mine, Buck.

[He pressed their lips together firmly, stretching out along him and sighing happily.]

[semistableman]

Yeah. Of course.

[Bucky's smile is warm and happy, turning into a grin at Steve's playful behavior, almost purring.]

Like that?

[beardednomad]

[He nodded, kissing him again before tilting his head.]

You know I do.

[semistableman]

Good, good.

[He trails kisses along Steve's nape.]

No sense teasin' you now.

[beardednomad]

[His head tipped to one side and he closed his eyes.]

You'd better not. You know I'll give just as good as I get.

[semistableman]

[Bucky smiles against Steve, enough that he's sure the man can feel it, even if he can't see it.]

You say that like it's not what I like about you.

[beardednomad]

[Oh he can feel it and he clings to the man a little tighter.]

I hope that isn't the only thing you like, Buck.

[semistableman]

[There's a mischievous grin on his face now, a little laugh in his voice.]

What are you gonna do about it?

[beardednomad]

Dunno. Maybe I'm hoping you do something about it instead. Maybe I'm hoping you do something to me.

[That smile could always make him melt and now was definitely no different.]

[semistableman]

[Bucky laughs quietly.]

Yeah? You have anything in mind?
