Summary
When Bucky was sixteen and drunk for the first time (on schnapps, dear god, not that he ever admits that part) he let his friend’s greaseball older brother talk him into a homemade stab-n-stick that is just… awful. He walks into the shop from the business card late at night, and a little guy in a too-big hoodie and skinny jeans looks up from the counter.
The Chubby!Punk!Bucky meets Tiny!TattooArtist!Steve AU.

Summary
It’s been established, after filming and streaming six seasons of Tattoo Travelers, that Bucky hates few things more than shopping for clothes. It’s loud and frustrating and unnecessarily complicated and if they go to an actual brick-and-mortar store, which is Steve’s preference, which pretty much makes it Bucky’s preference, they have to go to multiple stores, because no one carries Steve’s sizes and Bucky’s sizes, too. And then that gets Steve going on all sorts of ranting about sizing and choice and fatphobia, as well as a not-so-brief detour into the fall of the modern retail establishment, which Bucky appreciates, but also is exhausting.
