the sun is high, and bucky is distracted by the way the strands of red hair framing @kuhblooey's figure.
from where he is standing, bucky is surprised to see his life so neatly in front of him. everything he works for, everything he stands for it's right in front of him. he catches her eye and it makes him smile, something quiet as he approaches nat. his intention has never been to tame nat, he believes there that that is simply not possible. she's practicing her shots as if she needs to, and bucky is distracted, completely disarmed. the sun setting, and nothing is supposed to thrive here. in the middle of the desert, things die. not meant to last, and yet. and yet. they're here.
they had a wedding, and now a honeymoon and bucky still couldn't believe it, she had a ring on her finger, and he had a ring on his. it's not the only of his she has.
"you know, i think we should get ya' a new hat." he crosses his arms over his chest. "that one is old." it's meant to be teasing, to be distracting. like anything would make her miss.
