Bucky tried not to let the pain show on his face as Steve talked to him.
"I saw her, Buck. She looked gorgeous, God... I miss her so much." Steve had murmured, staring at the picture of Peggy Carter in his hand. There was a sad smile on his face, one full of longing and loss.
"I know you do," Buck sighs gently, glancing away. "I'm sorry, Stevie."
"What're you sorry for, Buck?" Steve chuckles humorlessly.
"I dunno," Bucky lies, praying his voice didn't crack. I'm sorry I'm not her.
"Bucky..." Steve frowns, his eyebrows knitting together in concern. "Are you... Alright?"
"'Course," Buck flashes a smile, fake as it was. "Seeing you upset's got me down in the dumps a little, I guess." He shrugs as the blonde sighs.
"Well, don't worry about me, Buck. I'm fine. Always am." Bucky snorts in disbelief but doesn't say anything.
You're not fine Steve. You've never really been happy here, not for more than stolen moments. You miss her and you belong with her and not me. You're out of your time and you hate it, you just don't want to admit that. Bucky thought as silence fell between the two men.
"So..." Bucky finally broke the silence. "You're gonna return the stones tomorrow, right?" He asks quietly, averting his gaze.
"Yep," Steve's tone is soft as well.
"Back in our time." Bucky adds even softer. Steve raises an eyebrow.
"Yeah...?"
"You could stay," Bucky's heart feels like it's tearing its way out of his chest. "You could stay back there with her if you wanted to." Steve stares at him in shock and Bucky has to look away to hide the tears gathering in his eyes.
"What...?" Steve asks softly.
"I know how bad you miss her, Steve. You could go back and start again, marry her, be happy." He smiles through the tears in his eyes. "You deserve that, more than anyone." Say no. Say you won't leave me, Stevie, please...
"What about you?" Steve asks softly, closing the compass in his hand and slipping it into his pocket. The blonde stands, moving closer to Bucky and resting his hand on the other man's cheek.
"I'll be fine," The brunet's voice wobbles and he fights so he doesn't lean into the touch. "I'll be fine here." Say no. Say no, please...
"Bucky..." Steve murmurs, rubbing his thumb over Buck's cheek. "I..."
"I know how much you love her, Steven. This is your chance to be with her, to... To be happy." Bucky forces himself to smile. "I'll be just fine." Steve is frowning, tears forming in his eyes.
