Bucky sets to work folding the laundry, humming quietly to himself. Before he knows it, he's humming the tune 'Tili Tili Bom' to himself. It was a Russian lullaby he'd learnt. He starts singing it softly, folding one of Steve's shirts. He did the laundry while Steve did the dishes.

Steve steps through the door and hears a soft, haunting tune. He follows the sound, curious, and pokes his head into the laundry room. Bucky hadn't heard him, still singing softly.

"Buck?" Steve prompts quietly and Bucky gives a start. He looks at the blonde and offers a smile.

"Hey," he says, folding a pair of pants.

"What were you singing?" Steve asks curiously.

"It's called Tili Tili Bom," he explains and Steve raises an eyebrow. "It's a Russian lullaby," he adds, folding another t-shirt. Steve hums and nods.

"What's it about?"

Bucky bites his lip a little. "Well... it's about a man stalking you and the song basically warns you that if you don't go to sleep, he will get you," Bucky explains and Steve stares at him.

"You sing that... to children?"

"Yeah," Bucky agrees and goes back to folding the basket of clothes. Steve searches up the song on his phone and finds a version with English lyrics. He plays it and the song plays slowly. Bucky continues to sing along and Steve reads the lyrics, his eyebrows raising as he does so.

"It literally says he will get you," he speaks and Bucky nods, finishing folding and piling the folded clothes into a basket. "That is the creepiest song I've ever heard."

Bucky looks up at him sheepishly. "Should I stop singing it, then?" He asks.

"No, no, I love to hear you sing," Steve promises. "It's creepy but beautiful," he adds and Bucky smiles a little.

"Okay."

This is a song I heard a while ago and found it really creepy, but beautiful. I think the version of the song I found is translated correctly, please tell me if it isn't and I can search YouTube for a properly translated version.
