Christmas In The Sun || Stucky ✔

Chapter Six

"Alright, I think I got everything." Bucky says, setting the bags and the box of beer down on the bench as soon as he gets back to the campervan from the shops. "I'm not too sure on a few of the snacks I grabbed, nd I think the fish bait is good enough." He adds. "I did ask for some help in figuring out what the best bait to get is, but the guy I asked wasn't very helpful."

Steve nods, looking through the bags after getting up from his seat at the small table he was reading a book at with a mug of coffee. "I'm sure everything is good enough." He says. "And are you sure that guy wasn't really being helpful? Or were you just not listening properly?" He asks. "Cause you know very well that it wouldn't be the first time."

It's not that Steve doesn't believe him, but there is the possibility that Bucky wasn't listening properly. It wouldn't be the first time that has happened after all....

"Yes! I'm sure of it, Steve." Bucky says. "Truthfully I think he was more interested in hearing about my arm than he was in helping me."

He's gotten used to strangers finding an interest in his arm, but he finds it incredibly annoying when he's trying to ask for help with something and all they want to talk about is his damn arm. Kids asking about it on the other hand he doesn't mind, he's usually happy to talk to the children brave enough to approach him.

But grown adults asking about his arm when he's trying to seek help with something? Now that he minds.

Of course, he can always just cover the arm up (which he does often back in the States), but in this heat? Covering up is not an option. It's way too hot to do that here.

Steve nods. "Well, I'm sure this fish bait is good enough." He says. "I think it's more of a question whether or not we'll actually catch anything here."

"Even if we don't catch anything here, at least we've got some bait if we decide to go fishing somewhere else." Bucky says. "We might not catch anything here, but we might catch something somewhere else." He shrugs. "In case you haven't noticed, there's plenty of areas around this whole country we can try and go fishing."

He had searched extensively online beforehand about that. Though it's really not very difficult to see that there's many areas to go fishing around this place.

"I know." Steve says. "Though considering the fish and chips shop across the road sells fresh fish, I'm sure that we'll be able to catch at least something." He says, as he begins packing everything away into the fridge and cupboards.

They're sure they'll catch something, even if it's only one or two they end up catching. That's enough for the two of them for dinner, depending on the size of the fish.

"I talked to a couple of guys I met over by the mens room, and they said that it's okay for fishing, especially at night." Steve adds.

"Generally at night is a better time to go out fishing." Bucky says. "That way it's all nice and quiet and there's usually no people out in the water to scare away the fish."

They were planning on going out at night to go fishing anyway. That way they'll hopefully have some peace and quiet as most of the kids here should be asleep, depending on their ages.

"Did they say what type of fish you can catch?" Bucky asks, sitting down at the small table, allowing Steve to put everything away by himself.

"Kahawai and snapper mostly." Steve shrugs. "I think it all depends on how far out into the water you go, but we'll just be sitting out on the beach." He says. "We'll be able to throw the line out pretty far anyway. Granted we don't end up breaking it first."

While they both do know how to fish all all the other stuff that goes along with it, they've never really been able to go out fishing very often. Unfortunately due to their line of work, leisure time isn't often, and isn't an easy thing to come by.
