“I think I’m in love with you.”

___ when the words finally were processed by his brain, gian still couldn’t move a finger and even face rj. his baby brother was asleep in his crib and his pets were sleeping too, probably hiding and too comfortable for him to call them to get a distraction. it wasn’t that he didn’t feel the same, because he was sure he did but... that word. it was so damn scary and foreign for giz, that it made him nervous. and that never happened. “why?” he finally looked up. and it actually wasn’t a stupid question, or at least not in his head. because... truly, why would so warm like rj be in love with someone like him? it still was beyond his understanding. “i mean, i know it sounds stupid. but i’m, fer once, serious. i don’t doubt it, i just... ya are amazing n’ good n’ have a nice family. i’m like, da contrary of what ya deserve.”

“Can we please stop running? I think I’m dying.”

___ bucky chuckled and stopped after some seconds, opening the bottle of water he had in hand and drinking half on it in one gulp. it had been forever since he did something like that and it felt... it felt good. “you said you wanted to come and train like me. this is not even half of my routine.” he smiled at his son and messed his hair a little bit more.
