I brought Bucky to Stark Tower a few days later, when I thought Tony had calmed down. Bucky wore a white tank top under a jacket with a glove on his left hand and jeans on his legs. I'd given him his old dog tags when he came back and mine too. He wore both sets around his neck. His short hair was pulled messily back into a ponytail. He looked like just a normal twenty-two-year-old man, but I thought he looked beautiful anyway.

As soon as I came into the workshop, Tony looked up and the first thing out of his mouth was:"Wow, Steve. Why'd you bring HIM here?"

"He is my boyfriend and he has free will. He wants to be with me!!!!" I screeched. "Anyway, where's Peter?"

Tony shrugged. "Out. He took his suit too. I think he took the crime watch shift today." Tony scoffed.

"Alright, Bucky. I'm going to introduce you to Natasha and you two can have fun. She speaks Russian and works with guns a lot. I think you'll like hanging out with her." I said softly. Bucky looked disappointed, but he nodded.

I took his hand and led him to the indoor shooting range. Nat was cleaning her handheld guns, reloading them, and just genuinely taking care of the guns. She looked up when Bucky came in. He spoke to her in Russian, looking timid as he made a hello gesture. She smiled a little and replied in Russian. Bucky smiled, relieved and took his coat off, leaving the glove on his metal arm. He picked up a machine gun and started taking care of it as he spoke to Nat.

Sam passed me, looking tired and he was still wearing his pajamas. "Hey, man. On your right," he said, smiling to himself. I laughed. He was still trying to get me back for our morning jog when I kept passing him and saying "on your left" or "on your right" accordingly.

"Hi, Sam. Do you know why Tony hates my boyfriend?" I asked.

"Wait, wait. Hold on now. You're gay? And you have a boyfriend? Congrats, man." Sam pat my back. "Who's this bae that you love?"

"He's a sweetheart that looks like he can kill people most of the time, and he's really misunderstood: he's called the Winter Soldier, but to me he's just James Buchanan Barnes, my boyfriend since...a long time. Around seventy-ish years, I think."

"Oh, hey now. Good find," he laughed.
