Staying Still

Summary:

"But you could punch me in the gut
And it wouldn't hurt like watchin' you go smaller on the backroad
And I never ask for much
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado"

Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson try to stay connected via text messages while theyre figuring long distance out.

Notes:

Im so sorry about the chapters on this one but the css and html is killing me and it takes me forever because Im new to all this (not counting my tumblr era ca 2014). Shoutout to my brother for helping me figure out the code <33
I dont wanna accidentally ruin it, so I'll split it into chapters.

Plane land yet?

11:12 PM
Just touched down.

11:13 PM
Good. Got Alpine on my lap, we're thinking of you.

She says hi.

And that she's not a fan of the new diet treats.

11:20 PM
So she is a little overweight.

What did the vet say? Everything else okay?

I'm not gonna tell her you said that, but yes. A little chunky, but healthy.

You should sleep. It's getting late. I'll head off soon too.

11:34 PM
Sleep tight. I'll text you in the morning.

Miss you. Thinking about you.

Did you repack my bag?

Good morning.

I might have.

Why??

Good morning to you too.

It was messy.

It wasn't!

Yes, it was. You had your underwear next to your combat boots.

06:15 AM
Okay and? I think that's reasonable.

stops typing...

06:17 AM
It's not. It's weird. I fixed it for you.

06:20 AM
Thank you, baby.

Next time you can show me how to pack right.

We can do it together.



I'd like that.

Good luck today. Press can be tough. Text me when you're done?

06:51 AM

Will do. See you later. xx

Wednesday, January 4th 02:15 PM
Did you eat?

04:43 PM

07:22 PM
It's snowing in NY. Wish you could see it. Might get snowed in.

10:30 PM
Heading to bed. Sleep tight. Saw your press. You did very good.

11:54 PM
Sorry, Buck. We went over mission details after press, then dinner and more briefings.

Everything ran late.

I hope you sleep good. Dream about me.

starts typing...
stops typing.

11:58 PM
I'll go dark for a couple of days tomorrow. Text me everything that's happening at home. I'll read it once I'm back.

Thinking about you always.

Thursday, January 5th 06:04 AM
Okay.

Stay safe.


No heroics, okay?

10:32 AM
We got snowed in. Yelena asked if we can have a "snow day."

I told her this isn't high school.

She pouted.


I think I'm getting too old for this.

01:53 PM

01:54 PM
Someone isn't happy with their new diet and decided to have a bite of my lunch.

04:15 PM
Met Ms. Lewis while grocery shopping. She sends you her wishes.

And she called you handsome.

Like 12 times. Don't say I didn't warn you if she flirts with you next time she sees you.

Even if she's more my age.

10:30 PM
Goodnight. Hope you're okay.

Friday, January 6th 06:06 AM

Might have to fight her for your space when you get home. She's pretty comfy.

08:47 AM
Just spent an hour combat training with the team. I'm definitely getting too old for this.

Felt a little good about myself too.

I'll tell you when I can move again.

12:36 PM
It's still snowing.

02:17 PM
Headed home early. Might have pulled something in my back. Yelena called me "Gramps."

06:07 PM
Back's better. Serum still saving my ass from time to time.

10:30 PM
Sleep tight.

11:23 PM
Hope you're okay.
