Summary
He finds Bucky in the training room, clad in a half-zipped black suit and panting from exertion.
He goes very still at the sight of Steve, and once, it would have been amusing to see him straighten from his tired slouch into a stance that’s stiff and uneasy. He looks ridiculous and prettier than he has any right to be, and Steve can hardly appreciate it because he’s seeing red from rage.
“I was just about to leave,” Bucky says, making an aborted motion towards the door. He’s looking at Steve but not meeting his eyes, and the behavior’s as familiar as it is irritating.
“I heard.”
Bucky’s expression is all deer-in-headlights, at least for a moment before it’s swallowed up by forced calm. He nods once, decisively, and folds his arms across his chest.
The silence is loud.
“Nothing to say?” Bucky asks, and it’s hard to tell whether he’s irked or relieved. He’s all bravado now, hip cocked and jaw set, but his gaze is firmly fixed on some spot behind Steve’s shoulders.
“Yes. Suit up.”
“Steve?”
“Zip your fucking suit, Barnes. Let’s go a few rounds.”
