He never said "I love you." He fixed the things you didn't know were broken.
Bucky Barnes doesn't do grand gestures or sweeping declarations-not after everything.
But he does coffee. He does quiet. He does watching your favorite show with you just because you like it.
And when the silence settles between you? It feels a lot like peace.
What starts as an awkward mission pairing slowly becomes something steady. Safe. Real.
In the quiet moments, between nightmares and late-night repairs, he lets you see the man underneath the soldier.
And you let him believe-maybe for the first time-that he deserves to be loved softly.
This is a story about the little things. The quiet things. The healing things.
And the kind of love that never needs to be shouted to be heard.
