    Summary

    It's not that Sam doesn't want to have sex... it just hasn't been the right time, or the right place, or the right person.

    And then Bucky Barnes comes back into his life and starts yelling at him about the shield, and Sam's pretty sure his days as a virgin are numbered.

    Summary

    “I thought you said he’s grumpy and surly and has a staring problem,” Sarah says, complete with accusatory side-eye. “That man does not look grumpy and surly to me.”

    Sam has to concede that in this particular moment, Sarah is right. Bucky looks the furthest thing possible from grumpy and surly right now: he’s in evidently animated conversation with Carlos and Mrs. Grace the librarian and Marie from down the road, and a smile is never far from Bucky’s face. Hell, as Sam watches, Bucky laughs at something Mrs. Grace says, and Sam feels about as dizzy and disoriented as if he’s just been knocked on the head and then spun around, because what the hell.

    Sam and Bucky may be partners now, but they still have a lot of getting to know each other to do. For Sam, letting Bucky get to know him is proving to be a more difficult prospect than expected. At least, it is until an exposure to truth serum leads to some revelations about his and Bucky's relationship.

    Summary

    “Steve told me you were quite the ladies’ man back in the day.”

    “Back in the day?” said Bucky, huffing a small laugh. “You mean 1943?”

    “Sure. Told me about all the double dates you’d set up for them. He said half the time he was just an excuse so that you could take out two girls.”

    “Steve said that? Geeze.” Bucky shook his head. “So ungrateful. Kid was like the hardest person to set up with a date.”

    “‘Cause of the skinny thing?”

    “No, the moral righteousness thing,” Bucky nodded at Sam. “Maybe you know something about that.”

    -

    How Sam figures out that Bucky’s probably into him, which is a problem because Sam loves Bucky but it’s not like he’s IN love with Bucky, right? A remix on the last half of episode 6, Rated T for Tender Kisses.

    Summary

    Bucky rolled his eyes. “I haven’t been able to get drunk in almost eighty years, Sam. I don’t care if Madripoor’s vodka does taste like bleach-soaked underwear, it’s still just vodka.”
     
    “Actually, in point of fact, I do not believe you have ingested vodka at all.” Zemo spoke as though he had always been a part of their conversation and not just randomly materialized with no warning.

    “If you could go ten minutes without spooking the shit outta me, I’d appreciate it,” Sam said archly.

    OR, that time that Bucky accidentally got high at Sharon's party and Sam was there to watch.

    Summary

    The feared Winter Soldier is suddenly disarmed before Sam, no scowl, no walls, just open and quiet. And Sam doesn't often get the opportunity to be as vulnerable and as honest as his heart demands, but this time he lays it bare.

    "So come back here and do some more of that, huh?"

    Bucky still hesitates, his fingers whirring a comforting white noise into the silence between them.

    "Or are you chicken shit?"
