So the prompt is snowmen :/ Fun!

"Steve?" Bucky looked around himself suspiciously. "Are you inside that snowman?"

There came a muffled "no" and Bucky sighed as he scooped snow away from Steve's face.

"You know, normal people would hide behind the snowman while playing hide and seek."

"Most people don't have as big brains as I do," Steve said through chattering teeth, pushing his way out of the snow and into Bucky's hesitant arms.

"Aww, you're soaked, Steve--!" he protested as Steve wrapped his arms around him tightly, shivering. Bucky sighed once more, hugged him back and kissed his forehead.

"Wanna see mine?"

Steve nodded against his chest as Bucky led the way. His snowman was... spectacular. It stood at eight feet tall, had a cute yet terrifying face that leered down at them both. Steve detached himself from Bucky's side to scope out his snow creation, while Bucky studied it proudly with his arms folded.

"They're beautiful," Steve praised as he patted the snow.

"Benji is their name and I love them," Bucky said proudly as he joined Steve in admiring the snow creature.

"You know, it might get warm -- "

"Hush," Bucky scoffed. "Benji will live in my heart."

Steve nodded and shivered briefly against him, frowning as he pressed closer to him to hide from the cold. Bucky held him close, wrapping his arms comfortably around him, one hand moving to hold the back of his neck.

After a couple minutes of studying Benji, Steve said, "s-so do you wanna head back soon?"

Bucky smiled over at him, amused. "Sure, Steve, let's not let you freeze to death."

"Again," Steve added mildly as he started walking. Bucky shook his head, gave Benji another fond smile in farewell, and took off after Steve.

Steve gave him a look when he caught Bucky staring longingly out the window towards the park where Benji had been. He was about to say something when Bucky interupted, mid-thought, "Should we have kids?"

Steve gaped at him. "You want kids?"

"A kid," he corrected. "I think I'd be a great dad." He looked at him, smiled, cocked his head. "You would too."

Steve sat on his lap, entertaining the idea. "And you thought this because of... Benji?"

Bucky shrugged. "I just think it'd be neat."

Steve nodded after a moment. "Maybe one day," he mused, leaning comfortably against his chest. Bucky kissed his neck, pressing closer against him.

"You're still cold," he murmured as he kissed the corner of his jaw, and Steve shivered -- and not from the chill.

"I'm sure I'll warm up soon enough," he sighed and closed his eyes, thinking instead about fatherhood and the potential of that. Raising a kid, he'd always wanted that -- and with Bucky Barnes, the man he loved, that sounded almost incredible. He knew Bucky had always wanted kids, too, so maybe they could actually do it -- raise a family.

He began to doze off to that thought, comfortable as Bucky held him secure. Maybe one day they'd make a little family.

Maybe one day.
