Bucky was on Steve's couch, face-down, metal arm draped over the side, and shins leaning against the arm of the couch. His ears twitched when he heard the door to the apartment unlock, and he turned his head only slightly to listen to the footsteps that followed. The metal that was his arm groaned mechanically as he moved to adjust his position on the couch, his ears pining for more sounds from the doorway. A second later, he recognized the sound of quick, bouncy steps as Piper's as she walked into the room. It had been a planned time, and they intended on going for dinner - and probably watch Lord of the Rings again, if Bucky assumed correctly. But as she entered the room, all Bucky could do was groan into the pillow. "I called Stevie babydoll," he admitted right away, answering her before she asked anything. Surely she'd be confused as to why he was moaning and groaning into the pillow. He flipped onto his back, lifting his arm with another mechanical groan from the metal. "It was an accident! I thought he was you when he started walking in, and... Oh, God, Piper, I can still see his horrified look..."

"Hell yes! I’m dying to go shopping. And get outta the apartment, for that matter. Oh, god, wait — you’re not talking about grocery shopping, are you?”
