Preview below:

Bucky rolled onto his side and sighed dreamily, reaching out for Steve. All he could feel was the empty bed. He pouted and sleepily blinked his eyes open. Steve was nowhere in sight.

“Stevie?” He sat up in bed with a yawn, finally noticing the sound of running water.

Smiling cheekily, Bucky climbed out of bed. 

“Daddy—” Bucky walked to the bathroom, calling out between the small crack in the door.

Summary:

Steve Rogers was found in the ice. Now he's navigating the 21st century, being back in Brooklyn, being part of the Avengers, trying to find his place in this strange new world. Then one day, in his local bodega, everything gets a whole lot stranger. ----- “Is that everything?”

The voice hits his ears. Steve’s eyes snap up in shock. And then the world stops turning.

Bucky. Bucky is there. Bucky is there, in front of him, on the other side of the counter, looking at him. Bucky—his best friend, who fell from that train, who died right in front of him—is standing there, looking at him.

Notes:

For a little background for this fic, Steve was found in the ice and we pick up from post Avengers movie, but his identity has not been all over TV like after the movie, so he's not recognisable on the streets. Written for AO3. Do not repost elsewhere. Do not translate.

Snippet:

“What happened tonight was…it was bad. And I want you to know that I know how it looks, but I also need to tell you something to explain it, but I…frankly I’m scared that it’ll change things between us, and I don’t want that, but I guess I maybe ruined them anyway so…”

Bucky’s eyes seem to soften just a little. “I just—” he starts, but Steve stops him.

“No, you don’t have to say anything. You were completely right. I was reckless. The thing is…after the army, it was…hard, to say the least, to adjust back to civilian life.”

Bucky looks like he feels for him now, concerned, but he doesn’t interrupt.

“I sort of got used to my life being on the line so much that I almost forgot how to be careful? If that makes sense?” The thing is, it’s not the whole truth, but it is the truth. And it feels nice to have a deeper and still honest conversation with Bucky for once. He’s never thought about it like this before, and of course, maybe he still doesn’t need to be careful most of the time, being who he is, but maybe that’s not an excuse. Maybe he should take better care of himself. For his wellbeing if not his health. He’s only starting to realise lately that those are two very different things.

“I guess you get used to the environment you’re in and I was used to a very different one to the one I’m in now. But I need to adjust. I need to take care of myself better. And I’m deeply sorry that I seemed cavalier with your safety and my own. I would never want to put you in danger. Not ever. It would…well I couldn’t stand it. And I can’t apologise enough.” He looks at Bucky, pained. God, what if he tells him to leave? How will he cope without him? He prays that somehow Bucky will see, will understand that he really means it, will know just how much he would do to protect him, from anything.

Bucky stares at him for a moment when he finishes, a little furrow between his brows, but he looks sad rather than angry. “Okay,” he finally says.

“Okay?” Steve blinks.

“I accept your apology,” Bucky tells him, more forgiving than Steve knows he deserves. “And I…well, I can’t even imagine what it must be like for you, to have seen the things you must have seen, to experience that and then to come home and try to slot back into place like that.”
