#bucky noted hater of footwear after years of wearing the tightest lace up boots known to man during his time as the winter soldier

[buckrogers]

Bucky growing to hate wearing any kind of footwear and opting to go barefoot a lot, especially in Wakanda. Some of it might be things he picks up as customs, but Steve thinks it's more than that judging by the almost melancholy look on his face any time he has to pull his boots on to run errands and how quick he is to fling them off the first chance he gets.

When he catches sight of him walking around in the soft ticklish grass later, wiggling his toes and smiling down at his feet, he thinks he gets it. He understands it enough to stop and unlace his own boots before heading out to join him by the lake and the smile on his face when he catches sight of Steve's pale feet is answer enough.
