era: tfatws bucky

the sound of bucky's heartbeat filled your head as you lay on his chest.

his metal arm was under your body and his other hand was drawing circles into your arm that was sprawled across his torso.

you sat in silence, playing with his short hair.

"who were you before the war?" you asked softly in deep thought.

you felt bucky tense underneath you at the mention of his past. you reached for his hand and intertwined your fingers with his.

you whispered, "sorry. you don't have to answer that."

bucky relaxed a bit and grinned as he thought back to simpler times.

"no it's okay," he said before pausing for a moment to gather his thoughts.

"i was...excited and ambitious. i had plans, ya know? i was going to study science and engineering in college," bucky sighed with the rush of nostalgia.

you just listened because you didn't want to interrupt him.

"i wanted to travel a bit too at one point, but i think i've seen enough in my lifetime by now." he chuckled lightly.

"i was also quite the charmer," he smirked and looked down at you before winking.

you rolled your eyes, "bucky!"

he tickled your sides making you laugh loudly, "what, doll? are you jealous?"

"no!" you breathed between laughs.

you caught his hands in your own to stop his relentless tickling.

"it's weird to think about how different my life is now. i know it was seventy years ago, but sometimes it still feels like yesterday," he said with a small sigh.

you kissed the back of his hand comfortingly.

he smiled down at you.

"but none of that matters anymore, because i have you."
