Steve’s always been… bigger. Fatter. It’s just been a part of his life. He’s accepted it, and he’s accepted the fact that other guys don’t usually like fat guys. When his relationship comes to an abrupt end, he wonders if anyone will ever want to be with him again, if he’ll be forever alone, selling coffee in a shop in the shadow of Stark Industries and making art when he can scrounge up the money for supplies.
Bucky lost his arm in Afghanistan more than 12 years ago, earning him a Purple Heart he didn’t really care about and an honorable discharge that he thought he wanted. His work in robotics and cybernetics have led him and his fellow researchers to a metal prosthesis that can move, feel, and operate like a real limb. His life’s work now accomplished, the last thing Bucky was expecting was to walk into a coffee shop and see a gorgeous man behind the counter to spark desire in him that he’d forgotten he had.
