A Stucky bodega AU

(7200 words | Teen and Up Audiences)

The voice - deep, soft and, oh, sad - pulls Bucky back to his actual job behind the counter of this shitty old bodega which, actually, he kinda loves. He looks up, then regrets it immediately, because Biceps McShoulders has ocean-blue eyes that Bucky could stare into for a creepy-stalker length amount of time. The guy’s beautiful.

thank you for the ask, hazel-friend! :D have some more of the roadtrip wip. <3

Bucky plays jazz, the stuff they heard growing up, and the truck flies along to the bassline, the highway empty but for a few truckers here and there. Steve stares at the strange scenery and takes blurry pictures.

There’s a brief interlude around lunchtime when Steve has to pee and Bucky refuses to stop because you peed an hour ago, you’re lying you dumb fuck, there’s no way your bladder is that small. Grumbling, Steve drops it, but then he really does have to go and Bucky isn’t the boss of him, and he says so, half an hour later.

“I am the boss of this trip,” Bucky argues. “I’m the boss of this truck. And I’m older. So there.”

“It’s my bladder!” Steve says, enraged, and finally, Bucky pulls over.

Luckily, after cheap gas station food, they decide that a century’s worth of friendship isn’t worth losing over Steve’s bladder, and cheer is restored to the truck. Steve even whips out his sketchbook and tries to capture a scene or two.

Time drips past, steady as the white lines that follow them down the road.
