When You Come Home (слэш)

“Nice to meet you, Bucky,” says Steve. He lets go of Bucky’s hand, and it doesn’t feel like a retreat, but it does feel like a promise: like the end of a sentence left uncapped, hanging there for one of them to finish later.
There’s a cold wind blowing, but Bucky feels warm.
“Please don’t try to come in here,” Bucky says. “There are alien corpses. It’s really gross, and really dangerous.”
“Alright,” Steve says, and he’s not quite laughing aloud, but one lingers in the corners of his smile, in the way his blue eyes brighten.
