   Summary

   Bucky doesn’t laugh anymore, hardly ever. He doesn’t scribble down equations and diagrams like he’s gonna beat Howard Stark at his own game. He doesn’t hum, doesn’t dance, doesn’t look up at the night sky in quiet awe.

   But he still smokes. He still smokes.

   Steve holds onto that.

   In which Steve holds on to Bucky as hard as he can, and somehow it still might not be enough.
