Leave Sam Alone, He's Trying His Best by Writer_Lethogica

Summary
This is for the Samtember 2021 Event being run by the Sam Wilson Fest Tumblr.
DAY ONE: Training
EXCERPT:
If Sam didn’t know better, Sam would assume this was Bucky’s clandestine plan to reveal himself to secretly be the Winter Soldier all along and that this was his way to completely destroy Sam’s body so that Captain America couldn’t stop him from doing his various assassination plots anymore, starting with the death of Sam Wilson. Even when knowing better, Sam felt like there was a fifty percent chance that Bucky was indeed doing this on purpose and that it was that sleeper agent Winter Soldier conspiracy theory Sam just made up because this was pain. Because Sam just wanted to slink into an ice bath and live there forever now.

DAY TWO: Louisiana
EXCERPT:
“You’ll be fine. It’s one day of hooky,” said Bucky, grabbing Sam’s hand, pulling him down the hall, “Besides, if anyone asks, tell them it was my idea. I’ll take the fall.”
“Of course you’re taking the fall,” said Sam, the two of them slowly but surely finding their way out of Warren Easton Sr. High School, “This was entirely you’re idea. I’m just coming so that I don’t feel guilty if some Amber Alert is put out for you. I’m being responsible.”
“Responsible, sure,” said Bucky, tugging Sam along, the both of them making a break for the exit, somehow no security guard catching them as they went (which was a little disconcerting that they escaped school so easily, but Sam would save his worries about that for another day), “Now, are you ready for a fun day of hooky or what?”

DAY THREE: Fireflies
EXCERPT:
Living on a small island off the coast was pretty quiet, and it wasn’t as if their magicks were flashy. They learned their ways from the osprey, or so the stories said. How to bring out grand wings, if only for a moment, to fly down from steep cliffs, scooping up the surface fish and collecting them to bring them to the bigger markets on the mainland.
It was what Sam knew. All he knew, really. And he hadn’t thought much about it, what it meant, if there was more out there. He’d been to the mainland, sure, and he liked the city near them, once one of the largest port cities on this side of the Alchemist Coast, now still bustling but replaced by others as the number one port. It was a nice place, sure, but Sam preferred back on the island, where homes were made in nest-like treehouse and days felt slow and easy.
He never really thought he needed more.
That was, until the Traveling Conjurer came into town, simply passing through.

DAY FOUR: Sunglasses
EXCERPT:
“Well, I think it might be an abuse of power if you use your position in office within the Avengers to create dress code guidelines so that you can see Blade without his sunglasses,” said Bucky, putting away the Tupperware for the salad as Sam moved onto his bread, “I mean, great idea. I’m very much here for this particular abuse, but I don’t know how everyone else would react to it.”
“What if I did a poll with everyone in the Avengers? See if they would all agree to some dress code changes in order to see what the man’s eye color is. Or at least. Get those damned sunglasses off of him,” said Sam, finishing his bread, moving onto the crumble.
Bucky nodded approvingly.
“I mean, if you think they’d be interested in it,” said Bucky.
“Oh, please, they’ll probably all take bets on it,” said Sam, starting a text group with everyone but Blade, “Yelena will definitely love this, I can tell you that.”

DAY SIX: Beach Day
EXCERPT:
“Ugh, you’re so old, Sam,” said Sarah, the kids agreeing as they sat down, beginning to eat the food Sam and Bucky made very lovingly, making Sam wonder why they even made anything lovingly at all for these assholes.
“Old,” Sam sputtered, choking on the salad, feeling very attacked right now, “I’m only three years older than you, Sarah. And technically, you’re older now.”
“See? Old,” said Cass, which cut deep.
“So old,” said AJ, which hurt even worse because he thought AJ loved Sam the most, but obviously, that was all a lie.
“Very old,” agreed Bucky, which – seriously?
You come to the beach with your boyfriend and loved ones and he goes and sides with your family over you.
“Bucky, you are over a hundred years old, you have no leg to stand on here,” said Sam, feeling betrayed by his own boyfriend.

DAY SEVEN: Divergence
EXCERPT:
“Oh. Me?” said the girl like she wasn’t used to being asked that, “I’m, um…I’m Rikki. Just Rikki. And I’m the Winter Cadet. Or. Well. That’s the name the government gave me until they figure out whether or not I count as government property. I’m sort of a fan of Nomad, but I don’t have the ability to name myself currently, as. Um. US Government property.”
She posed, as if she thought heroes did that, like she wanted to be the kind of hero who could pose, and it was almost sadder to feel that coming off of her than hearing how awkward the kid was. And Sam really needed to know who this kid was.

DAY EIGHT: Marvin Gaye
EXCERPT:
“Don’t put down old people,” said Sam, “You don’t know Carlos. Carlos comes in biweekly doing one armed pushups for all the ladies. And don’t even get me started with Peggy. That lady can decimate a dancefloor, she was a five-time gold regional champion in ballroom in a variety of categories. Those sixty-five plus folk really put me through the ringer.”
“I guess I should try to come in early after night school, see if I can compete with Carlos and Peggy,” said Bucky, Sam and Bucky getting into their positions, waiting for the song to start.
“I can’t even keep up with them, you have no chance,” said Sam, pulling a laugh out of the man as they heard the beginnings of “You’re All I Need to Get By” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, starting their flourishes before moving into the basic steps of a swing dance, the two of them finding one another at the center of the floor.

“But – but I’m always part of the Cap Quartet,” said Bucky, confused.

DAY TEN: Secret Admirer
EXCERPT:
When Sam had submitted his portfolio to the SHIELD Statue Garden right outside of New Orleans, Sam never thought they’d choose him. He was halfway through art school at LSU, working through their sculpture program. He was older than most of the students in his class due to him paying for college through the military, which made him less and less confident by the day, really, feeling like maybe he was too late to do anything in the arts, always getting backhanded compliments from his peers.
But then he got the phone call from the statue garden.
And Sam decided to take a leave of absence from LSU in order to be one of the artists in residence at SHIELD for a year. And four months in, it had been…amazing. Sam had been changing out his sculptures monthly for the garden, trying new and experimental pieces that people could interact with, and so far, Sam had been garnering some rave reviews.
But Sam was also getting these.
These letters.

DAY NINETEEN: Madripoor
EXCERPT:
“What can I say?” said Sam, taking a moment to find his train of thought as Bucky began to work him, “I’m a very layered man. I know what I’m looking for in a partner.”
“Oh, so, a PTSD addled super soldier with a predisposition to lash out rather than deal with his own problems,” said Bucky, preparing Sam slow and easy and not at the pace Sam was expecting at all, “Very good tastes, Sam. Definitely found a catch here.”
“I mean,” said Sam, stuttering a bit when Bucky found the bundle of nerves within him, slowly working in a second finger, “You’re also hot, so that’s a plus.”

DAY TWENTY: Baking
EXCERPT:
“Do you…do you need any help…sir?” asked Sam, unsure of what he was looking at because it looked as if there was a merman in some net, flopping on the beach.
Sam had stared for a few minutes, trying to piece together fish half and gorgeous man top in his mind. It was a really weird and jarring thing to see, almost as sad as a beached whale once the fishman started to lose some faith, deciding to take the L and lay there in wait of sweet, sweet death. Which was when Sam realized he couldn’t just leave the poor guy to die on the beach when Sam could help the man.
The fish man glanced up, as if not at all convinced Sam could help, which made Sam want to prove the asshole merman wrong and do the best damned job he could to save his rude staring fishtail from that net.

DAY TWENTY-THREE: Happy Birthday
EXCERPT:
“Um. Hey,” said the guy, “I know this is a super weird question, and I know that we don’t know each other, but could you pretend to be my boyfriend for, like, five minutes?”
"Though it’s like reaching for the moon."
Sam heard the claps of the crowd, the band going on break, trying to understand what he was just asked by this random guy.
“Ten, tops,” added the man, and Sam wasn’t sure if that made the request better or worse.
But the man kept looking from Sam to the door, and it was Sam’s birthday, he could live a little, see what the hell this was all about. He was curious as to why this man would ask him to pretend to be his boyfriend.
“Uh…” he said, feeling Wong’s gaze on him, “Sure?”
