    Summary

    But Sam is looking at him with lidded eyes and a soft little smile on his lips. It feels private. Like a smile that’s been saved just for him, out of all the people in the world Sam could smile at like that. Feels like that moment in the bar when their eyes met and it was just the two of them, like the rest of the world fell away and Sam was the only thing that mattered. And it’s – Bucky should be terrified. Probably is terrified, if he stops and thinks about it. But it’s just Sam. Just the person Bucky cares about most in the world.

    Sam’s gaze flickers down. It takes Bucky a second to realize – oh, he’s staring at my lips – and then a dizzying rush of heat floods through him. Makes him feel alive in a way he hasn’t felt in so long. Makes him want to lean in, to see what Sam tastes like, how soft his lips are. Wants to see what noise he’d make if Bucky just - just surprised him and leaned forward and –

    He’s leaning forward. Closing the distance between them. So slowly, achingly slowly, but it’s –

    He can’t. He just –

    Can’t.

    (Not yet, at least. Not until he works up the courage. But he tells himself that for now it's enough, just being next to him, just being his friend.)

    Summary

    Sam slows his steps when he reaches the hut. Right now he feels amped up enough that he could kick that rickety door in, reduce it to splinters with a well-placed boot. But then what good would that do either of them. He flexes the fingers of his right hand again, curls them into a fist.

    Against all reason, Sam knocks on the door. Against all reason, Bucky opens it, like some kind of normal human being.

    ---

    When Sam finds Bucky in the spring of 2014, they both find a shared purpose.

    Summary

    “Shit,” Sam says, staring at the thin golden ring on his finger. He blinks quickly, like he’s pushing through it all: the hangover, the too-bright sunlight, the pure insanity of this moment. Bucky watches the dark curl of his eyelashes, staring for just a second too long.

    Sam blinks again, then starts to laugh. “Shit. Well, I guess we’ll have to file for annulment.”

    And maybe it’s the leftover buzz of the alcohol, or maybe it’s the way that Sam has started to feel like safety to him, but something makes Bucky blurt it out; he clears his throat and says, “Yeah, or we could just stay married.”

    Summary

    “Are you okay with this?" Bucky asks.

    “Yeah,” Sam nods. “Yeah, I mean, it’s not like it would be real. It doesn’t have to mean anything.”

    “Exactly.”

    “So it’s not a big deal.”

    “Right.”

    Bucky stares at Sam, expectant, and Sam stares back.

    “Well?” Bucky smirks. “You gonna make the first move, or what?”

     

    Or: in an effort to combat the rumors about who Sam is dating, he and Bucky make a rash decision that results in forcing the two of them to pretend to be in a relationship for three months. For PR reasons, of course.
