Summary
Bucky stared at the smoke coming off of his cigarette. He sighed, hanging his head and pressing the heel of his hand into his eye. “I’m so lost, Steve.”
Steve took a risk and reached out to grip the sleeve of Bucky’s jacket. He leaned forward, holding on tightly to Bucky’s shoulder and pressed their foreheads together. He breathed out shakily and tried to keep his voice steady. “I’ve got you, Buck-- I’ve found you.” --Everyone’s always searching for something; it’s knowing when you’ve found it that’s the hard part.
Note
Many many many thanks to my best pal Madi for helping me, I couldn't have done it without you and you know it. This was written for Courtney's 400 follower celebration :) I have had a lot of fun writing this!Please pay attention to the headings, especially the time. Every other scene is a random flashback to WWII/pre-WWII stucky. The modern day scenes, while not seamlessly continuous, do have a linear progression of time.
