Everyone calls me Bucky.

You should know how this works.

[steve doesn’t sit. He just paces]

I’ve kissed a few fellas. A couple I wish I could go back and not kiss, [his mind shifts briefly back to Brock]. It’s everything else.

[woundedwinter]

[Understanding dawns across his features as he watches Steve pace and suddenly Bucky feels like they're teenagers again.]

Everything else is a pretty broad topic, pal. You wanna narrow it down or are we covering everything?

[cap_rogers0704]

[Steve’s face is so red because he’s a hundred year old virgin for crying out loud!]

I want to...be intimate. I have no idea what the hell to do. I mean I know but I’ve never done it and this is important. I like him too much to mess it up.

[woundedwinter]

Stevie quit pacing. Look, you like this fella a lot, I don't even have to ask that. [Bucky pauses, gathering his thoughts. Snart is obviously important to him, so he can at least relax in knowing that he isn't going to break his best friend's heart.]

What do you need from me? You need to know what to do or how or maybe what I think?

[cap_rogers0704]

[Steve stops pacing and just plops in a chair with his head in his hands. It's barely a minute before his leg starts to shake from nervous energy even as he raises his head to meet Bucky's gaze]

I don't want to ruin anything. He's experienced and I'm...not. What if I'm bad at it?

[woundedwinter]

You're not gonna ruin anything.

Look, you go find your guy and you tell him straight that you.. don't have the same experience he does. If he's the kind of guy you say he is, you two are gonna take it from there.

Sex.. it isn't about experience or who's better at what, it's about a connection with someone you love. [A quirk of a smile] Took me a long time to figure that one out.

[cap_rogers0704]

So you and Diana and Mick...? I mean I don't need details but you guys manage okay?

I just...I don't wanna scare him into maybe thinking I'm rushing things? It's only been a week or so...

[woundedwinter]

[Mention of Diana and Mick always makes him smile and Bucky nods.] Yeah, we manage just fine.

Steven Grant Rogers.
You are a catch and I'm willing to bet that Snart knows it. You aren't gonna run him off or scare him so long as you say something. If you think you're ready, or if you want to hold off, tell him.

[cap_rogers0704]

If he does I'm coming back here and punching you....well...actually I might cry, but still.

[woundedwinter]

If he does he's gonna have me to answer to. [Because Mick's partner and best friend or not, nobody breaks his best friend's heart.]

Go talk to him Stevie. If you're ready, you guys will work it out.

[cap_rogers0704]

Yeah...okay. [He heaves a sigh and just leans back into the chair still looking a little uncertain]

How are you? How's everything really? You're happy right?

[woundedwinter]

[Bucky looks down where Max has flopped across his feet, belly up and snoring heavily] I got a life here I never expected. I got a dog, a baby girl, a hot as hell guy and a gorgeous Amazon who can toss me around like a ragdoll. I got you back.

I still have some mornings I wake up and wonder if I'm dreaming all of this.

[cap_rogers0704]

[Steve gets a wide smile on his face as well.]

If it is a dream, I never wanna wake up.

[woundedwinter]

Yeah, I think after everything we've been through we earned a place like this.

After you've talked to your guy, we need to get everyone together. Maybe a cookout now that Mick's on his feet again.

[cap_rogers0704]

Yeah, that sounds great. I'd like that.
