Christmas In The Sun || Stucky ✔

Chapter Two

Just putting a disclaimer real quick. While I've been to the campsite Steve and Bucky will be staying at many times before, I haven't actually been there in the last few years, so I'm going from memory with a lot of the stuff, and looking a few things up online (like using Google Maps street view to get an idea of what's still there). So while I'm pretty familiar with the area, it may not be 100% accurate.

It seems as though the prediction that Steve had made that it wouldn't take too long on their drive for Bucky to fall asleep was correct. Not even an hour into their travels, and Bucky has already fallen asleep - which Steve is not at all surprised by..

Steve has elected to take that as a good thing. Mostly as it allows him to drive in peace with only the sound his soft snoring and the sound of the radio quietly playing one of their Spotify playlists of old rock music such as bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Radiohead, and The Smashing Pumpkins, along with a few newer rock bands thrown into the mix like Greta Van Fleet, and Highly Suspect. There's also a few New Zealand rock bands thrown onto the list too, like Devilskin, Shihad, and Blindspott to name a few.

He's able to concentrate on his driving in peace without having to hear Bucky complain about the heat. Though, he too agrees that it's fucking hot, but the weather seems to effect Bucky differently than it does with himself, especially when it's colder weather. Steve was a little surprised that the hotter weather would give Bucky a similar effect here, especially considering back in America when the weather's hot he's never complained too much about it.

It still appears to make him quite sleepy though, even when he had drunk three energy drinks in a short amount of time.... Steve's just going to take that as just energy drinks don't have the same effect on the two of them like it does on any normal human. It would make perfect sense after all because of the serums they both had been injected with years ago.

Steve has decided that he'll let Bucky sleep until they get to the Matata camping grounds. It'll be much easier on the both of them if Steve lets Bucky sleep until they get there anyway, save all the complaints about how hot it is until later.

There's also the fact that Bucky can be a bit cranky when someone has woken him up. Steve had learnt that the hard way, and so has every other member of the team who's had the misfortune of having to wake Bucky. Everyone except Bruce anyway....

They're not all certain what would happen if Bruce was tasked to wake Bucky up for anything, and they don't intend on seeing what will happen. There's the chance that it may provoke the Hulk seeing as Bucky does get a little physical at times, and when Bucky's throwing punches in a barely lucid state, it's not fun. It's usually better to let him wake on his own. The last time someone had to wake Bucky, Clint received a broken nose as a result of it, and it wasn't the first time one of the team had gotten injured while having to wake Bucky, even Natasha has sustained a couple injuries because of it.

Sighing, Steve looks over at Bucky. He's still not completely one hundred percent fixed from all the shit Hydra had done to him, but he's pretty fucking near close to it, thanks to Shuri. Though thankfully all of Hydra's programming is gone, but he's still a little unstable. For the most part though, he's mostly rehabilitated into this new world. He's still not entirely sure how to use a lot of the new tech though, but the same can be said for Steve too really. They're both getting there though, with a considerable amount of help from Peter.

Steve's got to remember to bring home a plush kiwi toy for Peter. He had asked them to get him one after all, and since Peter's getting one, they're going to have to get one for the rest of the team. Seems reasonable enough, to bring home some souvenirs for the others as well as themselves.
