The White Wolf's New Life

The White Wolf and The Farmer's Market

Steve didn't exactly plan on going anywhere today, he wanted to focus on Bucky's schooling, even though he was being difficult, but he did realize that they needed a few things. He wanted to go to the store but he had saw that there was a farmer's market in town this week. So he wanted to try a new place.

"Bucky?" Steve said. They were in the office working on Bucky's writing. So far, he was doing okay. Steve was trying to get him more accustomed to writing with his right hand but he always used his left. James had always been right handed.

Bucky stopped writing for a second then looked at him. "Hi." Bucky smiled.

"Do you want to go somewhere today?"

"Fun?"

"It can be as fun as we make it. Can we do that?" Bucky nodded. "Okay, go get dressed please." Bucky flapped his wrist then walked out of the office. He has been doing a lot better since the altercation with Rhodey. His anxiety has been high and he has woken up screaming for the past few nights. One night, Bucky had a nightmare and woke up as Winter. Winter blindly fought Steve until he exhausted himself and passed out. He definitely needed another therapy session.

As Bucky was hopefully getting himself dressed properly, Steve wrote down a list of everything they needed. They definitely needed vegetables, fruits and spices. And anything else that caught their eyes.

"Daddy?" Bucky said from upstairs. Steve sighed then went upstairs to his room.

"Everything alright?"

"Help." His shirt was on backwards and a thread was caught on his metal finger.

"Okay at least you're trying." Steve helped him out the shirt then put it on him correctly. "And you're matching, I'm proud of you. Okay shoes then we can go." Bucky smiled, then hum deeply. The hum was definitely a new stim that Dr. Simon noticed. While he wasn't sure where the stim came from either, he assured Steve that it wasn't anything serious.

Plus it was kind of was a cute stim.

Steve went downstairs to see Bucky struggling with the laces of his boots. Laces that were already tied, all he had to do was the straps. "I'm not going to ask." Steve tied his shoes then tied the straps. He put on his shoes and got Bucky's backpack then they went into the garage. Steve got Bucky in his seat and Harley jumped in next to him. Steve got in the truck then they left.

Steve wasn't expecting it to be an outdoor market. That made Steve start to worry. He's never been to an open market. But he was worried that Bucky might run off if he got spooked or suddenly had energy boost.

"Okay, we're going to go here and get what we need then come right back. If you're uncomfortable, please tell me." Bucky nodded. Steve got out then got Bucky out. He put on Harley's service vest then got Bucky's hand.

They started to walk through the market. Steve got the vegetables they needed. The fruits were an interesting find.

"Free sample." Said a young lady holding a stick of something.

"What is it?"

"Orange." Steve took the stick then gave it to Bucky. Bucky ate the orange then signed more.

"Okay, we'll take two pounds." The lady bagged up the oranges then they left. It was like that while they were walking through the fruit section. People asked for them to try everything, Steve had Bucky taste and whatever he liked he bought. What Steve didn't expect was for Bucky to like plums. That was new. Steve got the eggs, milk, cheese and butter. And honey because honey was apparently good with tea as Steve discovered.

"Alright, I think we have everything. We can go." Steve was putting everything in his book bag when he looked up, Bucky was gone. Harley was gone as well. Steve took a deep breath and looked around. Then he saw a familiar large white and black dog. He walked quickly and saw Bucky was playing with something.
