Summary
“He’s something of an escort.” Bucky blanks, and Natalia sighs. “A sex worker. But he's - sensitive. A sex therapist, maybe, but it with more touching. You can pay him for a few hours, he’ll come here, help you out, and then he’ll leave.”
Bucky considers it. He doesn’t mind paying for sex - hell, back in the 40s he used to make a few extra bucks on the side with stuff like that, so no, that’s not the issue. He just doesn’t want a stranger in his home, compromising this safe space he’d built for himself, someone he doesn’t know from adam, couldn’t trust as far as he could throw.
“I’ll arrange a meeting.” Natalia says. “Just a cup of coffee.”
Bucky sighs softly, but he can already feel himself leaning into the idea. Just a cup of coffee, he reminds himself. No more obligation than that. Can back out any time. “Okay. Set it up.”
Natasha smiles, warm and sincere, and she nods before she raises her cup to her lip. “Consider it done.”

Summary
Bucky doesn't have a job. Steve assures Bucky that there's no pressure for him to do anything; Steve's army back pay and his avenging days mean they're taken care of. Bucky's a kept man, and whilst he loves that, he isn't much of a house husband. So he goes out, and that's how it happens. He's sitting on the subway when he sees the magazine, garishly pink with a woman flashing big pearly white teeth on the front cover. He can't help himself. Letting himself do things he wants to do is one of the things the Wakandan healers had taught him, so maybe it's a step in the right direction.
The magazine turns out to be a little less factual than Bucky’s usual reading material, but he loves it. He reads an interview with some actress he's never seen before, then an article on how to get the perfect brows (and he looks up at his reflection in the subway window then to find that his brows are-- what does the magazine say? on fleek already), and then he gets to something interesting.
Sexting 101: What your man really wants to hear
Now that is something Bucky wants to know more about.

Summary
One the left side is a flower shop, glass windows displaying a whole array of different flowers as well as the ones sitting outside the store, and a green sign above reading “Sarah’s Flowers”. So a florist, obviously, which takes care of the smell of flowers. Next door, on the right side, a coffee shop, with a similar green sign above the door reading “The Flower Pot”. Outside are a few beautiful French bistro style tables and chairs, decorate with white table clothes and a single, small vase on each one, varying in colour, each with a different flower in. Bucky can’t see inside for the glare, but he bets it’s nice.
So, of course, he decides to head on in.

Summary
Bucky Barnes doesn’t have time for anything impractical, especially gen ed classes that waste his time and distract him from his engineering degree. That’s why he waits until his last semester in college to sign up for a music appreciation class, which is the only thing standing between him and graduation. When his professor walks into the classroom, Bucky’s brain short-circuits. Although he’s sure he’ll never be good enough for someone so suave, intelligent, and successful, that doesn’t stop Bucky from wanting to find out what’s underneath starched button downs and jackets with corduroy elbow patches.
A decade into his academic career, Steve Rogers is burned out—not because he doesn’t love his job but due to the bone deep, aching loneliness that dogs him during the empty hours after classes and countless faculty meetings. It’s just his luck that a long-haired, one-armed veteran turns up in one of his classes with a scowl, obvious self-esteem issues, and a chip on his shoulder. Although Steve won’t cross the line between student and professor, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t long for something more, especially when Bucky seems to need him as much as Steve wants someone to love.
