Steve + Bucky

Bucky
Hey Steve
You awake?

Steve
Yeah
Can't sleep?

Bucky
No

Steve
Same here

Bucky
Hey Steve...

Steve
Yeah?

Bucky
Do you ever feel sad about all the years you've missed?

Steve
Yeah all the time

Bucky
Same here
I just can't help but feel like we've missed a lifetime

Steve
Thats because we did Buck

Bucky
I mean
We didnt even get to see the war end

Steve
No we didn't
But we won so thats good news

Bucky
Yeah, we did
I just wish we could've been there y'know?
We could've gone by the bar and shared a few drinks
Celebrating the victory
And you would've been the face of it all

Steve
Haha
I'm not so sure about that

Bucky
You're Captain America!
Of course you'd be the face of it

Steve
Well even if I were, your face would be right next to mine

Bucky
Ah yes
"Captain America and his friend"

Steve
Best* friend

Bucky
That'd cost a lot more ink Steve

Steve
Haha
How about just
"Captain America and Bucky Barnes"?

Bucky
Yeah that has a nice ring to it
I remember when I first saw my name in that Museum, reading everything about myself as if I were a whole different person
I truly felt like I was some hero y'know?
But then I remembered that that's not who I am anymore

Steve
Buck

Bucky
No no let me finish
Look, I'm not a hero, I know that
But somehow when I'm with you and the others just talking and laughing
I feel like a good man inside

Steve
Well thats probably because you are a good man Buck
Listen, you were a victim, you had no control
What you did in the past doesnt matter anymore, its about what you do next that's important

Bucky
I'll be a good man Steve
I'll be the best man you've ever known

Steve
You already are the best man I've ever known
Hey by the way, you still up for celebrating?

Bucky
Celebrating what?

Steve
The victory

Bucky
Don't you think it's a little late?

Steve
It's never too late to celebrate a victory
Plus, its been a while since we've been out for drinks

Bucky
Well yeah but can you even get drunk?

Steve
With the right drinks i'm sure I can

Bucky
Right drinks?

Steve
Courtesy of Thor
We should go tonight

Bucky
Im in my jammies Steve

Steve
Really? No way

Bucky
Shut up

Steve
Just wear anything

Bucky
Okay
But I get to choose the bar, I know a good one

Steve
Sure

Bucky
I feel like we're just a couple of 17 year olds sneaking out at night for drinks again

Steve
Well, thats because we are sneaking out at night for drinks

Bucky
Except this time we won't need fake ID's

Steve
Haha no we wont

Bucky
Are you ready?

Steve
Yeah just a sec
Okay good to go
