Steve walks into the living room to see Bucky curled up on the couch, hugging their shitzu, Noodle, close to his chest. Noodle was a tiny ball of white curly fluff and was missing an eye. The two loved Noodle dearly.

"Awww," Steve croons, looking at them fondly. Bucky cracks an eye open and smiles softly. Noodle nuzzles his neck and snuffles.

"He's a good cuddler," Bucky hums, kissing Noodle's head. Steve sits on the brunette's legs and scratches behind Noodle's ears.

"Not as good as me," Steve boasts and Bucky snorts.

"Right. We all know I'm the better cuddler, look, Noodle agrees," Bucky explains, hugging the pup close. Noodle licks his chin.

Steve pouts at him. "I'm warm."

"And I'm adorable," Bucky interjects, smirking up at him. He sits up and Noodle slides onto his lap. "Know what? You think you're a better cuddler than me? Get over here and prove it, you punk," he dares, waving Steve over.

Steve scooches over and Bucky makes enough room for him to sit. He wraps his arms around the brunette and rests his head on his shoulder. Bucky holds Noodle close with one hand and wraps his other arm around Steve's waist.

Steve kisses his cheek gently and Bucky rests his head on his shoulder with a satisfied smile.

They lay there for a long while and eventually, Steve ends up falling asleep, his head resting on the brunette's chest, Noodle sleeping on his neck. Bucky yawns and rests a hand on his back.

Short and (hopefully) cute. :)
