It's no secret that back in the good ole' days, Steven Grant Rogers and James Buchanan Barnes were the best of friends. Scratch that, the two boys were more like brothers. Sure, they fought like animals but at the end of the day Bucky would die for Steve and Steve for Bucky.

The two brothers loved each other dearly but fought over the simplest things. Unfortunately, men and women happened to be one of them. It all started with a joint crush on a very beautiful, very unique woman named Peggy. Bucky had loved her first, naturally, as Steve wasn't always the super-soldier he ended up being, but at the end of the day, Peggy chose Steve.

And Bucky tried his hardest to be okay with that, really, he did.

And then there was the war. And HYDRA. And Steve plunging into icy waters in his normal, idiotic and sacrificial manner. And so none of that ended up mattering. And then Bucky came back.

Contrary to what people usually think, Tony is a relatively understanding person. Sure, he's stubborn and a bit self-centered at times, but if someone he loves is hurting or needs something from him, he won't hesitate to do it. So when Steve found out Bucky was alive, Tony understood when he wanted to find his long, lost brother.

And when Bucky came back after finally regaining control over his own mind, Tony understood that he wasn't the same person he was in the 40s even if Steve didn't.

Deep down, Steve knew that things weren't the same as they used to be. And maybe that's better, right? He has the Avengers and his wonderful boyfriend, Tony, and now he has Bucky back. But the 1940s Bucky he remembered was kind, charismatic and confident. Present-day Bucky is anything but and Steve finds himself struggling not to force the old Bucky back onto him.

It's been a few weeks since Bucky moved into the tower and to say things have been a little tense between the Brooklyn super-soldiers would be an understatement. It has been driving Tony up a wall having his boyfriend always stressing about the ex-winter soldier and the latter wanting anything but an interaction with the younger blonde.

"Hold still, Grease Lightning," Tony mutters as he tightens a part of the new arm he had made for Bucky. "I almost think you'd rather be armless then strut around with my wonderful creation I so nicely constructed for you."

The long-haired brunette simply rolls his eyes but stills under the younger man's steady hands nonetheless. Bucky actually doesn't mind getting his arm worked on, not in the slightest, not if it means getting to come down to the lab to see Tony. Tony is the only person that doesn't treat Bucky like a wounded animal and tells him things straight as they are. Because, you see, Tony might have sympathy for Bucky, but that doesn't mean he's totally forgiven him for everything he did. The dude might've been the Winter Soldier and all but he did still murder his parents. Tony thinks he should get to be a little upset over that fact.
