It’s weird. The whole fucking thing is weird.
Steve’s sitting across from a vampire in a diner under harsh fluorescent lighting, and he still looks like a fucking GQ cover. Steve wonders if biting creates some sort of bond like it does on T.V. Maybe he should’ve asked that question before consenting to it.
“Do you have some kind of telepathic connection with me now that you’ve drank my blood?”
Bucky snorts into his coffee. Steve finds it oddly endearing.
Part 1 of Bloodstream
“Think the cops come by Walmart arresting people for indecent exposure often?” The dark-haired man spoke, voice thick with arousal as he let his hands ghost up Steve’s shirt. Steve hissed at the contact, focusing on not dropping his groceries on the floor as a thumb flicked his nipple into a hardened nub.
“God I hope not.” Steve all but purred in response.
(Meeting at a Walmart at 2am AU)
He has a jawline, albeit smudged with grime, built for a heroic Hollywood movie. His eyes are a compelling grey, drawing Steve as the seconds pass during their stare-off. The man’s obviously built under his completely black outfit, from the way his biceps are outlined in the clinging fabric, and Steve kinds wants to shrink away and hide behind the nurse’s desk.
Sure, he’s attracted to this man, but in his scrubs and the smallest- but not small enough- lab coat he could find, he knows he looks like a hot mess. Well, not hot hot, just like sun beaten garbage on a summer day.
(Or: the doctor and coffee shop au nobody asked for.)
Clint Barton, Bucky Barnes decided, was on his shit list. Officially. And seeing as he was currently dressed as Santa Claus, the threat should carry some symbolic heft.
“When you came in, did you see anybody else? In here? In the apartment? A man with a ponytail, and… and a Captain America shirt?”
Clint’s eyes narrowed, and he put his hand on Steve’s forehead again.
James “Bucky” Buchanan Barnes is America’s protector, a national hero, the one and only Captain America. He’s been dealing pretty well with the modern world since he woke up.
Enter Steve Rogers. He’s small and cold and absolutely professional. However, the seemingly frail nurse gives Bucky a surprise when he’s suddenly caught up in an attack and makes his way through it like this was all part of a normal work day. Suddenly, Bucky becomes a lot more interested in the other and realizes that he can’t just adapt if he wants to thrive.
(Please take note of the tags! Mentioned suicide attempt and a lot of dark themes are mentioned. Keep yourself safe.)
Steve is a young nurse working at a psychiatric hospital. On October 27th, 1969 he meets with James Buchanan ‘Bucky’ Barnes, a seemingly harmless yet dangerous man considered ‘special’ by the other nurses at the hospital. Steve discovers something new about Bucky and himself as they share a moment in the examination room. There’s a fine line between reality and illusion. You don’t know if you’ve crossed it. And if you have you don’t notice it.
