Chapter Text
The day had been going by just the same way as it had been for the last 12 months . The tower growing noisy as the sun began to rise up into the sky , Bickering here and there between the other five housemates. An Bob wouldnt want it any other way ..even if it still felt a bit odd to have a home where he knew he could stay and not worry over each breath he took . He had set up a routine for himself ; Dr. Raynor being the catalyst for said list of task . An in all honesty it has helped clear his mind . Same thing everyday , ..wake up and watch one single Video on the phone before getting up and brushing his teeth . Part four of the routine was getting his bed made and sleepily trudging out into the kitchen to see everyone if they were not out fighting whatever Alien or wizard decided to cause a scene. But Bob's favorite part and final bit to his routine was placing himself on the opposite sofa from John Walker and making small talk . Asking topics he already knew about or safe personal questions he knew he could pull out of him. In truth , it was a bit of a self prioritizing task ..an a bit of just enjoying watching him light up a bit when Bob asked certain topics . Getting to see the sun shine on John Walker nearly every morning was enough for him ..the way it lit up his blonde hair and sleepy blue eyes . It was enough ..an he couldnt imagine anyone else sitting across from him . Couldnt imagine it being any other way than this .
" So ...Bob and I are going on a solo mission together ?" John asked as he put the emphasis on the other mans name . A brow raised and a mug of black coffee lazily held as it was perched onto thearmrest . Bucky only sighed and placed a hand on his hip while the other supersoldier looked at him like he had just spoken in Latin . " Yes John ..you and Bob " he said gesturing to the younger man . " Um..Can I just ask something ?" Bob quietly said while giving a half raised hand like he was in class. " what is it Bobby?" John asked with raised brows , his re-direction of attention cutting Bucky's sentence off . Bobs eyes moved between the two enhanced men before landing on the eldest . The two's quiet stares making his heart skip with anxiety . " ..wouldnt - ..I mean , Im still out of commission . Y'know ..I cant be Sentry without the other . I cant fight Buck .." He explained; fingers anxiously playing with the hem of his shirt. " Well, its a good thing for you then that this is just a surviellance job. Thats all it is ..no fighting , no infiltrating an no Sentry or Void ." Bucky said with a half assed smile . Bob could tell he was ready for the conversation to end and that he meant well even with his sarcastic tone . " why cant you do it ?" John chimed in with a disgruntled look over his face. The older supersoldier's jaw tensed before dropping the folder onto the side table . " Because Walker..Im busy being a Congressman and I have to meet Sam for a bit . An before you even ask about the others they are busy doing their own things . Do not make me get in touch with Yelena and take her and Alexei from Visiting her mom. She would skin you an you know id make sure it was on you ." He bit back and put a hand on his hip. John pursed his lips and glanced at the other man for a second while trying to avoid his aggitated fatherly look . " They are going to know who I am " He quickly said ; using this at a last attempt to free himself . Bucky looked as if he wanted to grab the nearest chair and slam it into the blondes head before he moved over to him and placed his metal arm on John's shoulder. " Walker, Noone is going to remember you where youre going . An besides its been neary five years since the incident . You , Sam and I were out of the spotlight and forgotten in a year . Too much happens in America everyday for something to stay as a top subject for two minutes . Even when we went after Valentina . " he said patting his shoulder . Bob could see the reference to whatever incident urked John . " what about me ?" He asked ; wanting to remove the focus from him. " You shouldnt have to worry since youre not well known , no offense . " He apologized with a wave of a hand . Bob only shook his head and gave a small laugh . " Its fine Buck..So , what will we be playing as . Like brothers or friends that live together ..just roommates?" He asked with genuine interest . A little smile forming on his lips while his body leaned foward a bit . Almost instantly Bucky's entire face slightly brightened . " You and John will be playing newlyweds . Happily and very in love husbands." The dark haired man tried to say without a smirk. Bob felt like his heart leapt from his chest and John choked on his Coffee when the information reached their ears . The supersoldier holding that look that almost made it seem like it was his decision . " what the fuck , Im not doing that this is ridiculous " John protested as he stood up . " Oh well , You leave at sunrise ." Buck smugly said as he began to walk off . " Oh and make sure you both read the packet ." He added on with another one of those agitated but slightly amused smiles. John huffed while his arms stayed up at his sides . Blue eyes glaring toward the hall the other soldier had vanished down . " ...that son of a bitch." He muttered under his breath .
