Summary
Bucky starts to think about what other things he wants in life beyond work, starts to think what kind of a person he wants to be. On his commute from Brooklyn to the Tower to back again he keeps to his habit of looking at the people, but not only to assess threats. Instead, he keeps watching all the ways people live their lives, and starts to think how he wants to live now that he doesn’t have to make sure he’s just as effectively blended in as he can with one metal arm.
After he moves out Steve every once in a while asks about his renovating progress and if he needs help. Bucky always declines, because quite frankly Steve looks exhausted and if he has time away from work he should probably spend it sleeping. He always tells Steve he can manage, because he can and he does.
After a while Steve stops asking, and it is only then that Bucky realizes he should have taken Steve up on the offer. It would have eased Steve into coming over, and when it doesn’t happen from the start, Bucky doesn’t know how to ask him later.
***
Bucky builds a good if not perfect life for himself, and settles into it. Then he ends up getting everything he never even dared to want.
