Summary
Steve was his only link to what had been, holder of the stories connecting yesterday and today. Steve had offered his unconditional friendship long ago, allowed Bucky to learn to see the beauty in the creature that was the reflection of his soul. Steve was his harbor in the storm, his bridge back to sanity. And now he was looking at Bucky, asking him mutely for reassurance, because he had become used to being relied upon, being the one others looked to for guidance. And Bucky wanted to give him more than reassurance.
Before he could lose his nerve, he leaned forward and tentatively touched his lips to Steve’s. He didn’t know what he had expected. For everything to make sense immediately, perhaps, for the realization to break that they had done this before, many times. That was not what happened.
