    Summary

    Here’s a thing: it takes Steve five consecutive mornings to work up the courage to talk to Sam Wilson.

    The sun on his skin, Jesus Christ. How it burnishes him until he’s glowing, radiant against the early morning sky all luminous pink-lilac, the sweeping white columns of the Jefferson Memorial as backdrop, and Steve starts having all these thoughts about the gods and myths he read about as a kid. The art, the statues, beautiful human gods carved in marble and gilded with gold. He draws Sam, once, from memory, and adds a laurel wreath almost without thinking about it.

    (Later, he will find this equal parts mortifying and hilarious.)

    Summary

    “Shit,” Sam says, staring at the thin golden ring on his finger. He blinks quickly, like he’s pushing through it all: the hangover, the too-bright sunlight, the pure insanity of this moment. Bucky watches the dark curl of his eyelashes, staring for just a second too long.

    Sam blinks again, then starts to laugh. “Shit. Well, I guess we’ll have to file for annulment.”

    And maybe it’s the leftover buzz of the alcohol, or maybe it’s the way that Sam has started to feel like safety to him, but something makes Bucky blurt it out; he clears his throat and says, “Yeah, or we could just stay married.”

    Summary

    Sam is standing by the open fridge, making a great racket with the various bottles crowding the middle shelf, but Bucky’s eyes are drawn towards the floor, because Sam is still barefoot, still has his jeans rolled halfway up his calves, and he looks so damn soft it makes Bucky feel – as the kids put it these days – some kinda way.

    Summary

    Sam was busy today and tired tonight, stress prevalent in every line in his body when he’d plopped down into Bucky’s lap, so the picnic and the lights and the ring had to wait.

    Bucky gently lifts Sam’s hand to his mouth, kissing his ring finger softly enough that he doesn’t stir.

    He doesn’t mind waiting, really. He’s got something worth waiting for.

     

    or, three times Bucky tries to propose to Sam, and one time Sam actually proposes instead
