Do you have any experience with kittens?
( because guess what, Bucky. )

What do you think?
But in all seriousness, she seems to have taken a liking to me. And unless either you or Steve are allergic to cats, I suppose she'll be staying with us.

Good, because she's laid claim to your bed. All we need now is to get Steve onboard so we can give her a proper name.
( Peggy's just been calling her Selvaggia. so far it seems to fit her wild personality. )

I was sent a reminder to sign a contract. I know we discussed it after being bitten. Maybe you didn't think I was serious. Maybe I wasn't. I am. I don't take things like this lightly.
just plowing right in with that?
I do appreciate a straight-forward approach.

Not physically, not that I don't appreciate the imagery.
I'm not anything other than straightforward. I've been reprimanded for it. And praised. How have you been?

all things considered, I'm doing alright I guess. I've definitely been a lot worse, anyway.
how are you holding up here?

I'm going to second guess drinking a cup of tea the next time someone offers me one. Other than that, my biggest concern is finding a contract.
( He remains tight lipped about all things Magnus. They'd slept together. Publicly. Even after he reminded Alec that he was in love with someone else. )
How was the festival for you?

yeah it's probably best to assume that anything you didn't make yourself could be funny.
I made the best of it. had a good time with some friends.
still worried about my contract, too. all of those friends are other submissives.

I thought I'd put something on in the living room tonight. Are you interested? I also ordered in too much Chinese.
Besides you. Maybe a blanket. It's unseasonably cold tonight.
( When he gets home (or leaves his room), Alec's not trying to track his whereabouts, he'll find his Dominant in the living room, Chinese take out containers strewn across their coffee table. His phone lies across the room on the kitchen counter, clearly not being touched. Alec had tossed it, having rewatched Lucy's wedding announcement. And then he'd messaged Bucky. He tosses it back down again and gets plates, chopsticks and bowls. )

[ Instead of answering, Bucky comes out of his room in a worn pair of sweatpants and a soft tank top. He's got a fluffy grey blanket over an arm, too. Finding the simplest creature comforts has brought him a lot of peace here. This place is chaotic, sometimes cruel, but Bucky's found parts of himself that had felt truly lost to the war in his year and change here. He doesn't hide the arm anymore and he doesn't run from his life. ]
Smells good.
[ He grins and settles on the floor behind the coffee table. ]

( Alec would sit on the couch, but Bucky's move inspires him. So, he pushes the table a few inches, sitting on the edge of the couch and sliding himself down to the floor. The fortune cookies sit to the side - because they always come last - but there's a fork or spoon in every container ready for the taking. )
I ordered from a place I never have before. Living in the Up tower, it's easy to forget how much there really is. ( He starts with the rice to give Bucky first dibs on the main courses. ) How are you liking your room?

It's nice. Comfortable.
[ Bucky takes the clue and starts to add food to his plate, taking a little bit of everything to try at first. This is the first time he's had his own room in a place that he wasn't sharing with Steve or Peggy. It feels strange, but it's not a bad thing. He's always stuck close to them because he wants to. He's fine on his own, really, just happier when he isn't. At least that's what he tells himself. ]
I'm not really sure what to do with my own space, but I'll figure it out. You settling in okay?
[ Bucky hadn't had much to unpack. Clothes, his gun, a few odds and ends. He lives pretty light. ]

It's more space and privacy than I've ever had. I'm trying not to get used to it.
( He usually has one room. Or, their estate in Idris but it'd been so long since he'd been home. The Institute was always bustling. He got his privacy late at night or early in the morning but here, it's quieter than he's used to. And living with someone and not fifty someone's is different, too.
He sets the rice down, taking another container Bucky's finished with. )
I think we're supposed to make it our own.

this feels a little like you're calling yourself handsome. lucky for you, I can't argue.
hypothetically, I might tell them that they have their own strengths that shine through and they don't need to compare themselves to anyone else.
did they skip learning to share their toys in grade school?
