[ nnnnno why ]

you have nothing to apologize for

[ the life and trials of steve rogers: captain cutie. ]

you've said

[ don't ever let bucky loose on the internets steve's life will be hell ]

because it's true

[ he is president and founder of that fan club, ok, he will fight the moms of america for the title with embarrassing snapshots from around the house. ]

you say a lot of things

doesn't make em all true

Edited (oh my god calm down bucky it's not that serious) 2014-09-03 20:43 (UTC)

it does in this case

[ he resists the urge to say "because i'm captain america" bc a) that is bullshit and b) he's not entirely sure bucky would get that he's joking

also those embarrassing snapshots better not see the light of day ever ]

[ his case is special, and steve is way too biased to play judge or jury, but he can't wrap his mind around that. ]

i'll try to remember

[ his own joke! sort of. he's learning how this humour thing works, but he's halfway serious too, so who knows. at the very least, he'll ask to make sure things are, in fact, a joke. it's a work in progress.

as is embarrassing steve. a few lessons with nat should get him in the habit of taking illicit photos. ]

you do that

[ his case is special because no prisoner of war has served as long as bucky has and steve is quite literally willing to fight anyone who dares insinuate otherwise, but they're talking about dad jokes and not about anything so dark as bucky's past with hydra.

if bucky's not bringing it up, steve isn't either. ]

so, anyway, dad jokes. [ DID HE JUST GOOGLE ONE? HE SURE DID ]

dad, i'm hungry
hi, hungry. i'm dad
dad, i'm serious
i thought you were hungry?
you're kidding me
no, i'm dad

i don't get it

[ wait for it

w

a

i

t ]

why are you sending me every conversation i've ever had with you

where is the joke

[ it's u, captain cutie. ]

no it's-

are you serious right now or pulling my leg
not literally
don't mess with me buck

i'm not bucky

tj said i'm allowed

hi allowed

hi dad

did you hear about the kidnapping at school

[ wait what ]

no

it's ok, he woke up

goddammit steve

the first time i saw a universal remote control i thought "wow, this changes everything"

steve stop

i'm worried

you're breathing too much

i'm breathing just fine

too well

i'm telling tj

i think i've just proven his point
say hi to him

ok

i'll come back tomorrow

[ he's been hiding out at tj's apartment for a few days, but - things are better. they're almost good. he's getting there. ]

okay
i'll be here

[ it's a sign of improvement, isn't it, that bucky texts him even when he's hiding out. he has to take it as a victory. ]
