Bucky,

You say you don't want kids, that they're a nuisance and you just wouldn't be able to care for one, but do you forget how you treat Morgan? Peter?

I love watching you with them. You're so sweet to the kids, Morgan absolutely adores you. I know Peter looks up to you, you're someone he's come to idolize, like Tony.

I love watching you let Morgan pull you out of the building and into the garden, where you let her pull flowers out of the ground and she makes a terrible braid in your hair with the flowers sticking out everywhere. The braids are always so badly done, yet you wear it around the building with pride.

You play tea party with her, letting her shove a way too small princess gown over your head that never makes it past your shoulders. You make forts with her, you sing songs with her, you read her to sleep. It's adorable.

And Peter - god, sweet little Peter, you are always the first one to help him with his homework, you offered immediately to help him with his history project (why wouldn't you, when you were born in the era he was studying). You help Peter out with his problems, let him come to you when he can't go home.

You're amazing with kids.

It's lovely to watch. Seeing how gentle you are with people. Especially kids. When you claim to hate children.

But I know you. You're such a softy.

It's beautiful.
