A Stucky Story

The Asset and The Superhero

Steve tried his best to keep Bucky away from anything resembling war and fighting. He vividly remembered the first time a war channel had triggered the soldier. After that he put a parental lock on the TV. All war channels were cut off and some action movies were cut off. Steve didn't mind since he wasn't a big TV person like Bucky, who only watched one or two shows.

Steve tried exposing him to different kid TV shows. But he always showed no interest. He tried Blue's Clues and he wasn't interested. He showed the tiniest bit of interest in Sesame Street. He'll look at the TV then look away. At least he was trying.

"Hey Buck, you awake?" He opened the bedroom door. Bucky went down for a nap a little earlier than usual, he wasn't sick or anything. Just a little tired. He sat down on the edge of the bed and put his hand on his shoulder, Bucky groaned and moved away.

"Wake up, bud. Nap time can't last forever." As much as he wanted it to. Bucky groaned again and put his blanket over his face.

"You are so lazy. I thought we could have a lazy day and watch a movie and have hot chocolate." Steve smiled when Bucky sat up, blanket falling off his head leaving bed hair standing on end.

"Milk?"

"Yeah. Sound good, a movie and hot chocolate?" Bucky nodded then went to Steve and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"You and your bed hair, let's go to the living room." Steve picked him up piggyback style and went to the living room.

"Pick a movie and I'll fix the hot chocolate." Steve set him on the couch and gave Bucky the remote. Bucky stared at the remote, he only knew one button to push. The power button. Steve started to warm the milk when he heard the TV clicking on and off. He looked over at Bucky and saw him pushing the power button. Steve sighed and took the remote from him.

"What movie do you want to watch?" Bucky looked at the TV. No Paw Patrol. Steve knew that was what he was looking for, so he put it on The Incredibles.

"I think you'll like this one." Steve went to finish the hot chocolate while the opening movie clips started. He made sure the hot chocolate wasn't too hot and added little marshmallows. He sat down next to Bucky just in time for the movie to start. Harley jumped on the couch and squeezed in the little space between them.

"Daddy, that?"

"Those are marshmallows. Don't try to drink it through the slip, wait until your done." Bucky took his cup while Steve had a mug with his shield on, a gag gift from Tony on his birthday.

As the movie started, Steve saw that Bucky was showing interest. He looked at the movie every now and then, he would look a little confused whenever Mr. Incredible appeared. So he looked up to Steve confused.

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?"

"You?" He pointed to Mr. Incredible.

"Oh, you think I look like Mr. Incredible? Bucky, we're different people." Not to Bucky. They looked kind of similar. Both very strong, parents, and fought bad guys. Bucky saw no difference.

As the movie continued, Steve was starting to question the violence of this movie. Sending missiles at a plane? Bad agents shooting a little boy who can run very fast, who does that? And why did any of that seem okay with the parents?

Steve sighed down the parental instinct and tried to enjoy the rest of the movie.

Towards the end of the movie, Bucky lost interest in the movie. Steve didn't know if he just didn't like the movie or was just not interested. When the movie finished, Bucky got up and frowned at Steve.
