[there's a delivery to the apartment that evening. though given the fact that steve...isn't entirely himself these days, it's down to bucky to accept it. ...it may also happen to have been addressed to him in the first place anyway though.
it's a box, plain and generic looking. but once he opens it up, he'll find a selection of items inside.
the first is clear, the contents visible through the plastic covering. there's a cupcake inside, a "32" topper proudly on display, and complete with a note attached to the front that reads: "Because the time we were apart doesn't count. Happy 32nd birthday, Buck."
next in the box is a poster tube. and inside that, there's a set of drawings. naturally. only these are clearly something he's spent a long time on. they're of bucky's family, but with a focus on his sisters. every page is in black and white. something he isn't happy about. but he didn't want to mess it up by trying to guess what the colors looked like if he used them. each image is taken from memories he has of the moments they were all together. evenings where he'd been a guest in their house and felt more like family than anything else.
the next is a bottle of whiskey. but not just any old whiskey. this bottle is fresh from 1917. so no, this isn't one for him to get wasted on.
and lastly! a contract. two of them, actually. the first is a copy of the deed to a certain house that he's been working on most mornings, with all three of their names emblazoned on the front. and the second, a potential addendum to their own contract. one to give bucky full ownership of the building. steve may plan on living there with them- him -but with the last document in place, it's bucky's decision as to whether he allows it. it may not be much, but he wants to give the man some level of control over the situation they're trapped in.]
