[ Sam smiles as lips brush the back of his neck. It's become surprisingly second nature to shift his weight slightly, lean into Bucky's solid frame behind him. Having the man's arms around him while the place smells like good food. Feels like home. ]
Hey yourself. [ He lowers the heat on the sauce, gives it a stir and then holds a bit of it up on the spoon. ] Give this a taste for me?
[ With the lives they lead, there isn't always time for domesticity. It's nice to embrace it when they can. ]
[Bucky plants his feet to keep them both upright and just curls in tighter against Sam's back.
He leaned forward to taste the spoon, licking his lips afterward.]
Tastes great to me.
[Downtime for both of them at the same time doesn't always happen. But Bucky's gotten used to having this little slice of home with Sam. Part of him still always expected the people he loved to leave, but Sam had stuck around, and Bucky was glad of that.]
Yeah, I'm good. She's trying to talk me into either getting a pet or running for office, and I don't know what one has in common with the other, but either way not gonna happen. What'd you do today?
lmao the congressman barnes shade. Also I'm setting this before Joaquin and Sam get their cabnw base
Running for office... I mean, you do look good in a suit, I'll give her that. Sounds like she just wants you to explore some options to fill your life with.
[ Sam turns his head to peck Bucky's cheek, then grabs their plates to get food on the table. ]
Well... I had a meeting. There's an old air force base. Not huge, not in great condition. It's getting decommissioned, but Joaquin's and my Air Force contacts know I've been looking to set up a base of operations. We're tryna figure out if we can pool resources, buy the property up. Set up official space for doing... well, Cap stuff, I suppose. Get a little hub running.
[ Expand it if - when? - there's a team coming together again. Leave space, in case Bucky wants to be part of things. ]
It was just so out of no where! lol. And that's fine by me I figured toward the start of F&TWS
[Bucky gave him a squeeze before letting go and trudging back to the door to hang up his coat and take his boots off. (Which was new, for a while Bucky wouldn't leave shoes off in case someone came for him.) He helps Sam lay out the food then settles at the table.]
I've got money banked from backpay, I could pitch in.
[Bucky wasn't filthy rich, but between the trials to exonerate him and the public sympathy toward him, the army had paid out the backpay pretty well - too much pressure not to.]
