Inhaling deeply as his alarm woke him, Steve stopped it right away and turned to look at Bucky who was sleeping tightly, his lips parted slightly.
Steve smiled softly as he ran a hand over Bucky's head, taking in how young he looked -how young he was- when he was sleeping peacefully, not frowning in anger, confusion or worry. Running his hand over his lover's cheek, he sighed a bit to himself. He was so lucky to have him. Of course things were far from perfect and he knew Bucky wasn't easy. But Bucky was the one person that Steve loved in a way he felt he'd never loved anything or anyone else.

Moving carefully, he kissed the tip of his nose softly and smiled as he watched him flinch a tiny bit without waking up. He looked so peaceful and lovely as he slept, not tense and scared as he rested in his lovers arms. Steve found himself playing with the thought of just letting him sleep and get the rest he needed so much. But he knew Bucky wanted -and frankly, needed- to get out of the house, even if just for a bit. It had been almost three months since he'd shown up at Steve's doorstep and he hadn't been outside since then. Steve wondered how Bucky handled that, considering that he himself would loose his mind if he didn't go out at least every second day.

„Hey." He smiled against Bucky's cheek as he kissed it softly, running his hand over his forehead so none of his hair would fall into his eyes. „Time to wake up."
Bucky just scrunched his nose up slightly, pushing his head against Steve's chest softly as he pulled himself closer to him.
„You awake?" Steve asked gently, giggling as Bucky just shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut a bit more.

„You seem awfully responsive for someone who's not awake." He joked as he pulled Bucky up a bit, smiling as the brunet opened his eyes, looking at him sleepily. „Did you have a good nap?"
Bucky smiled a bit and kissed him briefly. „How could I not with such a comfortable bed?"

Steve smiled softly as he ran a hand over Bucky's hair, twirling a strand between his fingers. „I love you."
Moving a bit, Bucky kissed his cheek and slumped down on top of him again, giggling as Steve jokingly gasped for air. „I love you, too."

Grabbing onto Bucky's side gently, Steve pretended to be unable to lift him, exaggerating his breathing. „I'm being... crushed!"
Bucky giggled and blew a raspberry against Steve's neck, pushing himself up as Steve laughed. „Poor Captain America... in desperate need of saving."

Steve giggled and sat up with him in his lap, looking up at him and smiling. „I have been beaten."
Bucky chuckled and sucked on a spot on his neck, grinning as he slightly tucked on the skin with his teeth. „Poor you. Taken down by a vicious monster."
Steve exhaled shakily, breath hot as he turned his head and kissed the side of Bucky's head. „I adore you."

Bucky grinned slightly as he turned to face him before kissing his neck again and breathing against him heavily. „I adore you."
Smiling softly, Steve shuddered under Bucky's kisses. „Let's go out, yes? It's probably the best time, no people out there."

Bucky sighed against his neck and nodded slowly, breathing against him. „Are you sure it's a good idea?"
„Of course we'll have to be careful. But I'm sure you'll be okay. You need to get outside. Run around like a dog let loose~" Steve giggled, grinning at him as he tried to lift his mood and make him less anxious.

Bucky smiled softly before moving his lips to his neck again, pressing open mouthed kisses to his skin and grinning as he carefully ran his tongue upwards before softly nibbling his earlobe. „There's some other great ideas coming to mind with regards to what I'd like to do like a dog let loose~"

Steve felt himself shudder and blush at his words, patting his side jokingly as he giggled, his face a dark shade of red. „Bucky!"
Bucky grinned as he turned to face him, kissing him deeply and cupping his face in his hands, breath hot against his lover's. Steve held Bucky close by his sides, caressing his body carefully and holding him close, breath shaky as he felt Bucky push his tongue against him, grinning into the kiss.
