A Stucky Story

The Asset goes to the Bahamas pt. 3

Tuesday/Nassau Island

When Steve woke up, he could hear something unusual. He looked over, Bucky was still asleep but not for long with all this noise. Steve slowly got out of bed and looked through the curtains.

They were at the island. And the noise he was hearing was the larger cruise boats docking.

"Good morning, Avenger family. Today, we are at the Nassau Island. There are many fun activities to do and we ask everyone respect their culture and be back on board by 7:00 p.m." Said the cruise Captain. That was fair, but it wasn't fair that he woke up Bucky. Bucky looked around, bed hair covering his eyes.

"Daddy?"

"Yes, pal?" Asked Steve, pushing his hair back.

"Noise?"

"We're at the island and there's a ship parked next to us. It's a little loud out there."

"Home?"

"Not home. Just an island. We'll have so much fun." Bucky sat up and rubbed his eyes. Steve opened the curtains a little more and opened the door. It was a beautiful island, but Steve was shocked when he saw the cruise boat next to theirs. That boat made them look like an ant. There had to be at least 3,000 people on there. That boat had anxiety and panic written all over it. If they were on a boat that size, Steve wouldn't let Bucky off his harness at all.

"Alright, let's get the day started. We're going to have relax time and explore." Said Steve getting comfortable clothes for both of them. Steve got Bucky in a bath first, then dressing him in shorts and a Captain America shirt. He put on his swim shorts under his normal shorts, so it would be easier to get him in the water. Steve took a shower and got dressed in his wifebeater and shorts and packed his swim shorts, he wasn't planning on swimming but he will if Bucky wants to. He fed Harley then noticed Bucky was outside looking down at something.

Then Bucky put his feet on the rails. Major red flag.

"Bucky, what did I tell you?" Bucky tilted his head then pointed.

"Fishes." The water was so clear that you could see fishes, but that wasn't excusable for climbing on the rails.

"Chair, now. Ten minutes." Bucky frowned then started to cry. But he sat on the chair and continued to cry. Steve ignored his grabby hands and packed Bucky's travel bag. He put Harley's service dog information in there just in case anyone asked.

After a slow, ten minutes Bucky was released from the chair. They went up to the dining area and ate a quick breakfast. Harley used the bathroom and they made their way to the unloading dock.

"Have a good day." Said the crew. Getting Bucky off the boat was almost as hard as getting on. The only thing that probably made it easier was that Bucky knew the ground was stable and he moved a little quicker to get off.

It was pretty warm here. If Steve had to guess the temperature, he would think high 80's. Not bad, Manhattan usually felt this warm during summer. The only difference was the cool ocean breeze making it a bit more manageable.

They walked through the port and found themselves near the beach. A lot of people here. Newlyweds, a few children, the Bahamian citizens and weirdly, a private area that Steve could guess was for. Not for child eyes. So they walked around for a while.

The smell of food was a bit overpowering but still smelled good, the smell of tropical fruits and seafood was new to them but still smelled appetizing. Every restaurant was like an outside bar. Steve hoped they had soft foods, it would be a shame if Bucky couldn't try the food. After walking around, Bucky wanted to swim.
