    Summary

    “Have you gotten a tree since…”

    Since could be a lot of things. Since the war, since he’d woken up from the ice, since he’d moved back to Brooklyn. Since.

    He shook his head. He and Bucky had never been ones to get their own trees. Bucky’s folks had, but once they’d moved in on their own, they’d made due with a couple of stockings. There was no space for a tree in their apartment.

    Now it hurt too much, or felt too pathetic. Him, alone in his apartment with a tree he had no decorations for. No one to decorate it with. And the only person out there who could have debated with him whether a tree should be real or fake was out there, not here. So really, the tree would have to remain an existential thought exercise, a lost cause. Much like himself.

    "Nope."
