James Buchanan Barnes.
Everyone calls me Bucky.

You should know how this works.

Hey! Thanks! Yeah, it was a lot of work, but I had some help. [He goes to give Bucky a big hug]

Hungry? [There's a couple cartons of bbq and fixin's he'd picked up along with drinks. There are also a few large cupcakes, one for each of them after they eat, but Steve has it hidden under the counter right now]

[woundedwinter]

Always. [A grin as he returns the hug and pulls back.] You got quite a setup here, must have cleaned them out of all the good stuff.

[cap_rogers0704]

Nah, not really anyway. How's Mick? Back to normal now?

[woundedwinter]

If you ask him he'd say he's fine but he's still a little shaky. Reminds me of you every spring after taking on the flu.

[cap_rogers0704]

Wow, that bad huh? Glad he's got you to take care of him then. [Steve smiles and starts fixing a plate of food for himself hoping Bucky will do so as well.]

How's Diana and the girls?

[woundedwinter]

He's stubborn, he can't just rest like he needs to.

[Bucky absolutely starts digging in once Steve finishes with his plate.] Good, Helen and Gracie are getting so big and Di's.. [Cue a dopey grin] she's incredible.

[cap_rogers0704]

Sounds like me alright. [Hey, at least he's able to admit it now, right?]

I'm so glad you're happy Buck. Truly.

[Steve takes his time to eat a few bites of food before speaking again. He's blushing a little bit as he tells his friend the news.]

So..um...Leonard and I...we're uh. We're seeing where things might take us. Together.

[woundedwinter]

[He's got something on his mind, Bucky can tell but he's happy to wait him out. The blush is familiar enough and a grin breaks out across his face.]

That's incredible Stevie.
I'm happy for you too, punk. You deserve to be happy.

[cap_rogers0704]

[Steve blushes and laughs lightly]

Yeah, He's...he's something. I like how he makes me feel.

[woundedwinter]

Good. That's what matters. After all the crap we've been through you and me have earned a place like this.

Peace, no HYDRA, no SHIELD, none of it. A place we can just be a couple of punks from Brooklyn.

[cap_rogers0704]

Just a couple of punks huh?

Sounds great.

[woundedwinter]

[He barks out a laugh] It sounded better than a couple of geriatric soldiers from New York.

[cap_rogers0704]

At least we don't look geriatric. [Laughs. and then pulls the cupcakes out from beneath the counter]

Happy birthday, Buck.

[woundedwinter]

[Bucky grins at the cupcakes, smile quietly fond. Yeah Steve, you're getting a hug.] Thanks.
It's been a hell of a good year.

[cap_rogers0704]

Yeah...I bet. Glad we've found each other again.
