-- they'll be happy to know that as I saw you go

[yourbestguysgun]

When: Friday 8th of June, evening time.
Rating: PG-13, but he'll probably have a potty mouth, so fair warning.
Characters: Bucky Barnes (yourbestguysgun) and open to anyone who'd be at the Blue Light. Feel free to have been there with him for a long time.
Summary: Somebody's a super friendly drunk given the right opportunity for it.
Log:

The last time Bucky was happy like this, he was surrounded by his team, his friends, leaning against the bartop in uniform and teasing the ever loving hell out of his best friend. He tries not to think about it too often, mostly because it feels a little bit like it's way above his own understanding. He can deal with a lot of things, but dimension hopping is a stretch. Of course he misses it, the Howling Commandos, the camaraderie, the sense of belonging, but the City isn't so bad when it's not jerking his chain, and he likes the people he's gotten to know.

Most of them, anyway.

He's been drinking - quite a bit, actually, - but more as a sign of how good he feels today, laughing at Steve and the rest of his friends, and heckling the band to play something he recognises. It's an easy feeling, and it seeps into his posture, shirt sleeves rolled up, animated as he talks. His beer is clutched in one hand, half-empty as he waves it.

Want to go with me sometime, then? I could tell you all about them.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah. [ And okay, maybe the drink has something to do with it, but his grin takes years off him, makes him look a little like he would have way before the war. ]

Hell, you can tell me more about your magic too.

[hexuality]

[One day, they'll talk about that and she'll be able to better appreciate moments like these. Then again, some people in the City caught a glimpse of her fresh from her own war and the difference was clear—this place really is a holiday in so many ways.]

I'd love to, Bucky. [A little sheepishly,] Honestly, I'm just glad you don't think it's weird or mad. I've had to keep it quiet around some friends, you know? Because of the sorts of worlds they'd come from.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah, I'm fine with it kid. [ Grinning. ] I mean, okay, it's not the norm in my world, but it's cool. I'm impressed.

[hexuality]

[Look, that pleases her so much that she doesn't even mind he's called her 'kid' again. She just beams and ruffles his hair again and just looks so happy. No one's actually outright said her magic was 'cool.' Interesting, maybe; odd, what the hell, limited by her wand.

'Cool' makes her feel a little bit special, okay.]

Thanks.

[yourbestguysgun]

I better let you get back to work before 'Ella kicks us both out of here.

[hexuality]

She's lovely, alright. I'd sooner expect the bloke in the back corner to give me grief and I think he flirts with me half the time, anyway.

[But she knows he's right and she heaves a dramatic sigh and claps a hand on his shoulder.]

I'll come back around with another beer. [Brightly,] Give a shout if you need anything else.

[yourbestguysgun]

Anyone ever bugs you, jus' gimme the heads up, okay?

[ Because he would punch everyone, so. ]
