    Summary

    the first few days felt like a dream. they hopped on a greyhound bus headed west, its cracked leather seats and rattling windows an adventure in themselves. bucky teased steve about his tendency to fall asleep mid-sentence, his head lolling against bucky’s shoulder, and steve rolled his eyes every time bucky flirted shamelessly with a waitress at some diner along the way.

    they shared rooms in cheap motels with flickering neon signs, their names — “sunrise inn” and “route 66 motel” — faded with age. the beds were small, just wide enough for two men who weren’t shy about brushing shoulders. not that they talked about it.

    steve always took the side closest to the window, his hand resting lightly on the sill like he wanted to feel the cool night air. bucky took the other side, sprawled out like he didn’t care about the lack of space, even though his knee always found its way to steve’s.

    “you’re a bed hog,” steve muttered one night, his voice low and drowsy.

    “and you snore,” bucky shot back, his grin audible in the dark.

    steve huffed a laugh, soft and unguarded, and bucky felt his chest tighten.
