"Bucky had been in so many fights that he had even gotten a reputation about being a 'bad seed' but the teachers and parents that labeled him as such didn't matter much to Bucky. Bucky didn't pick fights, but he sure as hell would finish them. When he met the blond, that was exactly what he did. However, the blond w...
"Steve sat there for a moment. Usually people sat around and talked with him more. Flirted ostentatiously even. This person, however, had simply gotten up and left. Turning around, Bucky continued to walk, backwards this time, and waved goodbye as he called out, 'It was nice meeting you, Steve.' Steve stayed on th...
"If you're reading this, it means that you are able to give Bucky everything that I wanted to give, but wasn't able to in my allotted time. I wish that I could be sore about it. I really wish that I could've been the one. But everything happens -- and if I'm being real honest, I knew from the moment that I met James B...
"This was happening. This was really, really happening. Bucky and Steve were going to be fathers. They would be leaving the hospital with their child. Nothing was ever going to be the same. And neither of them could wait. "Standing in the elevator, waiting for the car to finally reach the maternity wing, Steve sl...
"Gesturing towards his roommate, Sam introduced the pair, 'This is Steve. Steve, this is Bucky.' Bucky neighborly extended his hand out to Steve while telling the petite blond, 'Nice to meet you.' Steve eagerly took Bucky's hand and nodded. That was all he could do. Steve's mouth felt entirely too dry in that moment a...
"Hoping that Brock didn't see the blush taking hold of his face, Steve quickly dropped his gaze back down to his sketchbook. At least with his gaze trained on the page, he could pretend to be focusing. Key word being pretend. Because despite himself, there was a thrill to knowing that Brock couldn't stop watching him...
"Steve gave him one more chaste kiss to his lips before climbing out of bed. Stumbling a few steps as he awkwardly stripped off his soiled boxers on his way to the bathroom to wash up. Over his shoulder, Steve asked, 'Can you get the kids up for me?' 'Duh,' Bucky mocked, climbing out of bed and situating his underwea...
"With a sigh of relief and an ache in his heart of the longed familiarity, Bucky dropped his bag. Home, Bucky took in a grounding breath. Crossing the small room, Bucky plopped face first down on the bare twin size mattress. The frame was a bit snug with Bucky's feet almost hanging over the end of the bed. But that di...
"Smiling, Steve brought Bucky's hand up to his mouth and pressed a kiss to the back of his hand, despite the mittens. And just as much as it had the first time, it melted Bucky's heart like a marshmallow in a mug of hot chocolate. Bucky was sure that that was exactly why Steve kept doing it. 'You're such a sap,' Buc...
"Then, Natasha perked. Her idea giving her so much renewed energy that Steve could practically feel it rippling through the air to him. Steve looked over at Natasha and watched as she stubbed out her cigarette on the open windowsill. Excitedly, Natasha stated, 'You should come with me.' Only it didn't sound like a sug...
"The front door opened and Meatloaf jumped off Steve's lap as she scurried off for his closet while Steve quickly climbed off his bed. His socked feet slipping on the hardwood floor, but that didn't deter him one bit. Hearing the familiar and deeply missed voices as they greeted Sarah and Joseph. Just as Steve pred...
"As though his feet were controlled by something other than himself, Steve stepped out of the trees. Not paying attention to any of the other figures standing as still as statues, Steve crossed the well-lit area. His eyes roamed over the boy. He was taller with a fit, muscular frame. A frame that Steve had never posse...
"Steve turned, pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose before he looked up at Bucky. The way that Bucky looked at him sent a chill down his spine. Completely taken every time that Bucky looked at him like that. And the thing that surprised Steve the most was that Bucky wasn't looking at him any differently...
"Pressing his lips together in an attempt to calm his utter happiness, Steve gave Brock's hands a giddy squeeze. Especially once the pastor turned towards Brock and instructed, 'Repeat after me. 'I, Brock Henry Rumlow.'' Taking in a deep breath, Brock started, 'I, Brock Henry Rumlow.' 'Take you, Steven Grant Rogers...
"Playfully, Steve rolled his eyes, but accepted Bucky's extended hand. Allowing the handsome brunet to lead him onto the dance floor. Despite Steve being two left feet, Bucky expertly twirled him. Easily leading them, even with Steve tripping and stumbling over his own feet. But Steve liked it best when Bucky pulled h...
"It was now or never. Racing to the closet, Bucky pulled down a duffle bag. Not quite thinking as he started shoving random clothes in the black bag. Only staying half-aware, so he wouldn't pack any of Brock's clothes by mistake. He didn't want his orange-juice-after-brushing-teeth scent anywhere near him. Even if...
"The pair settled into a comfortable silence, enjoying the tranquility that flowed through the bond from both of them being satisfied. These were some of the moments that Bucky loved the most. Just being. With their pups and Steve happy, it was only natural for Bucky to be happy too. Of course, a loud thud shattered t...
"All I need is for you to come back. If you come back, everything will be fixed. Everything can be the way that it's supposed to be. If you just come back, I can too. But without you, I'm not here. I'm not me." -Spoilers to MCU films -Smut and other mature content -An accompanying journal fic to "Not Without You" C...
"Both feet steady on the curb, Steve looked up at the house. For a moment, wondering what it looked like before. Glancing to his left and right, Steve wondered what this abandoned suburban street was like before. Wondered if kids freely rode their bikes and cheerfully shouted the way kids do. Did. The world was more s...
"Leaning over, Bucky kissed Steve's forehead and encouraged, 'Get some sleep.' 'You just want him all to yourself,' Steve teased. 'You caught me,' Bucky playfully agreed as he pulled the covers up further. Kissing his temple, he assured, 'I'll wake you if he needs you.' Catching his hand, Steve gave it a tug, causing...
"'So, you hopin' for a repeat?' 'Unless, you'd rather not,' Bucky genuinely gave Steve an out as he assured, 'I'd like to get to know you for more than just what you can do in bed. But only if you want to.' Steve's heart slammed to a stop and Steve asked, 'Can I think about it?' 'Of course,' Bucky good-humoredly scof...
"After the baths and after the Dino-nuggets, and after they put the boys to sleep, Steve and Bucky collapsed into their own bed. Content with just being in bed beside each other. And just like he did with their other two kids, Bucky moved between Steve's legs and started telling them about the day he met Steve. Wantin...
"Chuckling, Bucky shrugged, 'I just get so... excited. I mean, we're having a baby! *Another* baby!' 'I know,' Steve assured, 'It's cute. After all these years, you still act like this is the first time.' Lifting his hand, Bucky gave it a kiss, 'Every time we do this, I just can't believe that *you* chose *me*.' Ev...
"Crossing the room to the doorway, so he could greet his husband with a kiss. Not lingering the way that he used to, Bucky marked Steve's bump, in hopes of reassuring Steve with his scent. Although they were doing better every day, it still wasn't how it had once been. Steve figured that it would never be like that...
"Then, he opened the doors. Gesturing for the first couple to lead the way. Steve's hands shook as he put them by his sides. Feeling a comforting squeeze, Steve looked down, finding Oliver holding his hand. In return, Steve gave his little hand a tender squeeze. Grateful to have his little guy with him when he didn't...
"Turning to face Steve, Bucky asked, 'Can you believe him?' 'Nothing that I didn't do at his age,' Steve shrugged, feeling fatigue crash over himself before heading inside the house with Bucky hot on his heels. 'Of course, it was easy to sneak out when the fire escape was right there.' 'God, you're such a punk,' Bucky...
"Smoothing his short brown hair, Steve wished, 'Have a good day, squirt.' 'Pops,' Oliver groaned in annoyance while he jerked away and started fixing his hair while he narrowed his eyes at Steve. Steve rolled his eyes and watched as Oliver entered the garage. Bucky kissed his temple and reminded, 'Don't take it serio...
"Wrapping Oliver up in his arm, he held the squirming toddler close to his chest, so he could scratch behind Greg's ear while she purred. Once that was taken care of, Bucky let Oliver break out of the hold. Instantly, Oliver tackled him. The pair being louder than necessary, but Steve couldn't find it in himself to te...
"He ducked his head and buried his face once more in Steve's neck. Promising, 'We're gonna live a long and good life together, Stevie. So long, in fact, that you're gonna get sick of me.' 'I'm already sick of you,' Steve joked, but wiped his own tears away. 'And we're gonna be a good example for the kids. So they k...
"'Uh, I actually um... actually,' Oliver pulled away. Brows furrowing, Steve glanced at Bucky who seemed equally as confused. Steve watched as a college-aged boy climbed out from behind the steering wheel of a classic Camaro with cherry red paint and white racing stripes. 'Who the hell is that?' Bucky asked, watching...
