I forgot I had written this. Poor Sam.

Part 2 of the social mediazation of Bucky Barnes (IW still not a thing).

Sam Wilson had a few regrets in his life. Thinking Hammer pants were a good look in eighth grade. They weren't. The unfortunate whipped cream incident of 1998. Don't ask. Not telling his dad he loved him enough... All that aside, he'd have to say his biggest regret, was trying to help Steve "Who me? I only showed him a couple of things.” Rogers acclimate to the 21st century. But Sam's a nice guy you see. How could he not answer that blue eyed menace's request, "Please Sam, be a pal would ya? Help me out." What he didn't realize is where that simple act of kindness would lead. Currently, its arguing with Bucky that no, it wasn't freakin hilarious that he set Sam up with a date from Craigslist, and 'please Bucky stop sending me clips of music by the Black Crowes and the Eagles asking me if this is the music of my people, and yes, I still hate you.' Sam was beginning to regret answering his door that one fateful day, because it has now resulted in a formerly brainwashed assassin discovering the joy of memes. He has now blocked Bucky on all his social media, and Steve too, because really, it's all his fault.

I was thinking about this scene today, and how it was probably the first time, in a long while, he had woken up without fear, apprehension, confusion, or without the "hangover" one has from a night of chasing sleep, or enduring nightmares. He was safe, warm, and in a place of calm, something he hadn't had since Wakanda. Still wearing his dogtags, a reminder that he was James Barnes, just an older, wiser, and a bit weary version. This version smiled more and was finding contentment. Finally.

I'm convinced they were given some general dialogue, and they just went with it. You can't tell me this isn't Sebastian and Anthony having a debate. 😆😆

The intensity.

[nagener]

How many of these expressions do you think were directed towards Sebastian during TFATWS? I'm sure all of them. 😆😆

You already know Sam Wilson was waiting for this opportunity. 🤣🤣

Bucky looks at Sam. Walks past him. Turns, looks at him again. Sam just raises his eyebrows.

"Can I help you?"

"I was just wondering, you trying to copy my style Wilson?"

Sam barks out a sharp laugh. Looks Bucky up and down. "Your what? You and style aren't even in the same realm."

Bucky narrows his eyes at him, points to his head. "What's that? Looks suspiciously similar to mine. Jus sayin."

Sam crosses his arms, side of his mouth twisted in a slight smirk, considers Bucky for few seconds. "Actually, I was in the mood to look like a 100 year old man. This is the best I could come up with at the moment."

Bucky rolls his eyes, jaw ridged, puts his cap on, goes to leave, "I really can't stand you."

Before the front door closes, Sam breaks out in a huge grin, "Oh Buck, you keep saying that, but we know better." Door slams.

I need this kind of snark in their show. 😆

[nagener]

You know what they say about the best laid....Never mind.

[nagener]

Anthony and Sebastian or Sam and Bucky. Either or, still my favorite duo.

Oh btw, Happy Mackie Monday!

[nagener]

Sebastian's post today took me out. 😆 His humor as always, is one of the best things about him.

Scene from TFATWS, maybe.....

Sam's relaxing on the couch, feet kicked up, reviewing his mission notes before sending his report to Sharon. He takes a pull from his beer, resting on the coaster that Bucky "you're gonna ruin stuff if you're not careful, geez" Barnes insisted he use. Who knew? Sam was a bit distracted, because in the periphery of his vision, he could see the aforementioned Mr Clean lurking. He thought he was being subtle. But Sam, having spent a significant amount of time around him, was pretty attuned to Bucky's movements. Most of them. He still had the uncanny ability to just...appear, without a sound. Kinda of creepy when you think you're alone. So, of course Bucky would do it just to mess with him.

"Barnes! What do you need man?"

"Huh? Nothin."

"Well, then quit walkin back and forth peeking in here like you're stalking someone, or come and here and ask whatever it is going on in your cyborg brain."

Bucky huffs out a sigh, "not a cyborg, only have a metal arm."

"Man, what's up?"

"Look, I got you something. Don't make it weird."

"Oh, I'm gonna. You shouldn't have led with that."

"Can you just be serious? I needed to replace something I took."

"Something you took...stole? You stole something from me Barnes?"

"Yeah. But in my defense, I wasn't in my right mind. "

"Really? This I gotta see."

Bucky leaves the room, returning shortly with a large box with crumpled bow on top.

Putting a hand over his heart, Sam exclaims, " Oh Buck, you shouldn't have!" Taking in the condition of the bow, he chuckles, "What happened to this?"

Bucky rolls his eyes, "I couldn't get the sticky paper thingy off the back okay. I may have accidentally crushed it."

"Right." Shaking the box, Sam asks what's in it.

"Feathers, just open it will ya? Why do you have to be so difficult?"

"Okay pot meet kettle. "

Bucky just gestures for him to open it.

Sam delicately takes off the bow, setting it to the side, and begins to peel off the tape from the box, rather slowly knowing it was irritating Bucky. Sam waggles his eyebrows at Bucky before opening it. He looks down in the box, then up at Bucky, then in the box again.

Bucky looks at him expectantly. "Well?"

"Well" said Sam. You never cease to amaze me", as he pulls a steering wheel from the box.

Bucky rubs the back of his neck, as he meets Sam's questioning expression.

"So, there's that."

"Um, what am I supposed to do with it?"

"I dunno. I just wanted you to know how sorry I am over what happe..."

Sam puts up his hand, "Whoa, whoa, I'm stopping you there. You're not that person anymore. Between us, we've got enough trauma and regrets to overcome. Let's not rehash a past we can't change. You know this man. The question is, is there a car that goes with this? I mean, if you're talking about replacing something.."

"Dreamin is free Wilson. Get your feet off the table."

"What am supposed to do with a whole steering wheel Barnes.?"

Bucky shrugs, "Doesn't seem to be my problem."

And that is how they came to have a steering wheel with a crushed bow, in a shadowbox on their wall.

Well, it's that day again.

[nagener]

Exactly.

Some of y'all before the trailer dropped: oh well sam is gonna be the "sane" one and bucky is gonna be the one doing wild shit. And sam is gonna make sure that bucky is okay while using his therapist skills and he's gonna take time out of his day to make sure that bucky's trauma is dealt with

Canon sam based on the trailers: "what's going on in that cyborg brain of yours?"

"Hey you wanna see me jump out of a plane with no plan whatsoever?? C'mon it'll be fun!"
