A Hand
"Awe come on Buck it's a kids movie you can sit through it with us." Steve sighed shoving a bowl of popcorn into Bucky's hands. The man just grunted in response, since he first to the compound all he did was hide in his room he was given and work out in the gym as long as Steve was there, team movie nights were not his thing and Steve seemed determined to fix that. The blonde man went to the fridge and gathered several two-litters in his hands motioning with his head for Bucky to follow him. He obeyed following close behind setting the bowl down on one of the tables in front of the couches. Natasha was already sitting on one of the couches resting her head on Clint's shoulder, while he fiddled with the remote getting the TV ready. Bucky sat himself on the furthest end of the couch earning a raised eyebrow from the woman. Slowly the rest of the team made their way into the room taking seats; Bruce sat himself on the other side of Natasha with Steve sitting next to him and Bucky. Thor took a seat on the other couch and soon joined by Stark, Carol, Wanda and Vision. Peter, who seemed very excited for this movie, was sitting on a pillow leaning against Starks legs.
"Alright folks lets get this started, Peter's choice this time was Toy Story." Clint said clicking the play button on the remote making the movie start and a castle appear on screen. As the movie started Bucky himself wasn't completely impressed and honestly a little disturbed by the creepy little baby on screen as well as when the toys started being alive. A small tinge of remembrance crosses his mind as the green army commander tells his men a good solider doesn't leave a man behind. He watched as the cowboy was both loved and tossed aside in a musical montages for a spaceman, who didn't seem to know he wasn't real. The metal armed man shook his head as he watched the two toys fighting under a mini van before catching a ride on a pizza truck, which for movies sake just happened to be there. When they toys got grabbed by some gothic kid he felt his stomach twist as dolls were torn apart and forced into other things, it hit a little to close to home for his liking and he decided that was enough. He began to stand up when Steve grabbed his wrist and gave him his famous 'don't you dare' look. Bucky did his best murder glare at him but the man didn't seem to even care and just held Bucky's wrist until Bucky relaxed back into the couch.
"This is so stupid..." He muttered as the spaceman watched a commercial about himself, and winced to himself when the toy fell off the banister and his left arm fell off making Bucky rub his own metal arm subconsciously. A small smile did come onto his face when the seemingly drunken spaceman got smacked with his own hand by the cowboy, and he imagined the punk next to him has considered doing that a few times to him. The smile stayed on his face until it got to one scene; the cowboy was trying so hard to convince the other toys the spaceman was ok and the next lines were not what Bucky was expecting.
"Buzz will you get up here and give me a hand?" the thunking of the plastic arm made Bucky do something he hasn't done in a long time; Laugh, hard. Every single member in the room turned with confused, terrified faces as the Winter Soldier laughed at a stupid joke in a kids movie, and from that point on Toy story was Bucky's favorite movie. After that he started going to more team movie nights and getting out, he started being more social and little by little became more open with that same scene making him laugh and smile every time. He also got a new habit that drive the rest of the team absolutely nuts; whenever Steve or anyone asked for Bucky to give them a hand he pops his own arm off and throws it at them, laughing like its the greatest thing in the world, they others may find it old but they still smile and laugh with him because it helped bring back the happy Bucky.
