Sam Wilson & Bucky Barnes | Rated: G
Summary: “I know what I’m doing, Sam. It’s not nearly as far as that time when I—what…what’s that? Waitaminute. Who are you calling?”
Sam looks Bucky dead in his blue-grey eyes and says the last two words Bucky wanted to hear right now:
“Hey, Sarah?”
* * * * * * * * * *
“Cap, Buck…I mean Sarge. COMM Check. We’re at altitude. Coming up on Jump Point in 60…”
Sam sets the volume on his COMM. “Thanks, Torres. Loud and clear.”
Bucky, following Sam to the door of the plane, grabs a COMM device, puts it in his own ear, and throws a thumbs-up at Torres.
“Look. I’m just saying. You better not jump outta this plane without—and I don’t care if it won’t kill you. I know you’ve done it before, but I’m telling you, Buck! I don’t want to have to hear about it from—”
“You don’t—“
“I mean it, man. Don’t make me do this…”
He pulls something out of a hidden upper mid-chest pocket of his suit.
“I know what I’m doing, Sam. It’s not nearly as far as that time when I—what…what’s that? Waitaminute. Who are you calling?”
Sam looks Bucky dead in his blue-grey eyes and says the last two words Bucky wanted to hear right now:
“Hey, Sarah?”
“Sarah?!? Are you kidding me? You’re telling Sarah on me? How old are you?!?”
“Yeah, Sis. No, no! Everything’s fine. But Bucky—“
“OKAY! Okay! I’ll get a ‘chute, DAD!”
Torres, watches the whole scene, trying to look like he’s keeping an eye on the digital display so Bucky won’t see him laughing. It’s always something between those two. They’re comedy gold. Even more now that Bucky’s dating Sam’s sister.
“Here. See? I’m gonna put it on. Now, hang up the pho—no wait, gimme that—“
[His voice changes, going softer and sweet.]
“Hey, baby? It’s me. Ou konnen mwen sonje w, wi?
Thanks, sweetness. I been practicing. Yeah, I miss you too—“
“Man, shut up.”
[Sam grabs the phone and pushes Bucky out of the plane, not even partially buckled into his parachute.]
“Au revoir, cyborg.
Sarah? Hey, guess what Bucky did…”
Later that evening…
“Yeah, Baby. I figured you saw it. Sam got Redwing to…yeah…in 4K.
I know I promised I wouldn't do that anymore, I just forgot at first…
But I did have my parachute! I was about to put it on, then Sam pushed me out of the plane.
I'm really sorry, nandi. It won’t happen again. Hug the boys for me—hey, they didn’t see—? Good. Don’t want them to…yeah, get ideas!
Ok I'll tell him. Ndiyakuthanda, sweetness. Bye.
Hey, Samuel? Sarah said to tell you a’ight bet.”
“I'm a dead man.”
* * *
The next day…
“Hey, Sam, Torres says we’re stopping off in Wakanda before going back to Delacroix. Why?”
“Because I value my life enough to know that I gotta bring back something nice for Sarah so she'll actually be happy to see me. If you were smart you’d do the same.”
“I already got something that’ll make Sarah happy to see me when I get home.”
A few minutes later...
[Bucky opens his eyes and sees Redwing hovering above him, just out of reach.]
“Very funny, Sam. Oh! Hold on…”
“What…what’s that? Who’re you callin’?!”
“Hey, Sarah? Guess what Sam did…”

So tomorrow the exterminator come to the apartment. They come every month as per apartment contract. Now, you might think thats great but really they are just snitches for the manager. If you leave any dishes in the sink, they give you a notice, if you leave out pizza boxes on the table from lasts night late night study group, another notice, if you didn't clean your room or your bathroom, notice. If you forgot to take your trash out, notice. Anything they feel is a clutter or a mess , another notice, and if they want after just 1 notice they can evict you. So every time I feel like I'm walking on eggshell. One time I got covid and before the came into the apartment told them that i stopped them and told them I was contagious and THEY decided to not come in, which is what anyone would do! Well they went and told the manager that i was a health and safety hazard! Im a nurse who works in critical care. Mind you this was in 2021 still in the grip of the pandemic and here I was almost getting evicted for catching covid! Like what! So ever since ive been trying to find a house but nothing, everything is out of my price range. Which leaves me no choice but to pray to God and beg him to let me stay safe and sound until I find a house to live in. I just hate living at this apartment complex. It gives me so much anxiety!
