Work Text:
Steve found Bucky sitting in their living room. Bucky had a pile of magazines next to him and was staring very intensely at his laptop. A video on how to sew a Halloween costume was playing and Bucky was taking notes.
"Hey," Steve said, "what are you doing?"
Bucky slammed his laptop shut and jumped up a little. "Nothing!" he said quickly.
Steve raised an eyebrow.
"Watching porn," Bucky amended.
Steve raised his eyebrow even higher. Bucky’s cheeks were bright red.
"You can tell me, you know," Steve said.
"I want a new costume for missions. I don't want to be the Winter Soldier anymore. I want something fun," Bucky said.
"Then we'll make that happen." Steve smiled at his boyfriend. "Show me your vision?"
Bucky opened his laptop again and Steve sat down next to him. Bucky began to talk excitedly about patterns and fabrics and the styles he liked.
"So tight pants, a good color palette, and anything that makes you look hot," Steve summarized.
Bucky nodded. "Yes. When people see me I want them to think I look awesome instead of running away in fear."
"I understand. Well we better go fabric shopping then," Steve said.
"You want to help me?" Bucky asked.
Steve kissed him. "Of course, baby. I'll make all your dreams come true."
They went fabric shopping that same day and found fabrics in red, silver, and pink. Once they were back at their apartment, Steve drew out a pattern for the costume. Once Bucky was satisfied, they made a mock-up. They did some tests to see which parts of the outfit would need some reinforcement and then updated their pattern. They worked all night until they had a costume Bucky loved.
Steve loved it, too. Bucky really did look hot. It was going to be a distraction in the field but Bucky often was. Steve just liked staring at his beautiful boyfriend.
Luckily the costume was easy to take off, even with it hugging every inch of Bucky’s body.
Bucky kept on his mask. Again, Steve thought, so hot.
"Let me take care of you, baby," Steve told him.
"Please," Bucky replied.
Steve picked him up and carried him to their bedroom where he took care of Bucky thoroughly.
