it's how you know he's home.
bucky has super soldier hearing and actually does a good job of staying quiet when he gets home in the middle of the night. he doesn't want to interrupt your sleep
he makes sure avoid the creaky parts of your wooden floors, shut all the drawers gently, and barely turn on the faucet to wash his face
he's basically silent until the moment he's about to climb into bed
when he takes off his dog tags
he can't see in the dark, so his tags make a quiet tinkling sound as he places them clumsily on your nightstand
"hey, sarge," you murmur as soon as you hear it, reaching back blindly to pull at him until he settles close to you.
instead of responding, he just presses smiling lips into your shoulder, rubbing your arm until you fall asleep again.
