Rated K

Bucky wears fuzzy socks and walks all over the carpet until he has enough static to shock Steve when he touches him. Sometimes if he's really trying to annoy Steve, he'll use his metal arm.

Bucky had been in Stark Tower for a year now. Most of his memories had returned throughout the year with help from Tony and Bruce. Steve was a bit helpful when they would sit down and try to incite memories but never nearly as helpful as the technology that Tony and Bruce would use on him. A lot of his old personality had returned to him and he had made it his goal to irritate everyone in the tower, especially Steve. Today was no exception.

Bucky got out of his bed a bit drowsy. Running a hand through his messy hair he sighed and grabbed a pair of sweatpants from a chair that sat in a corner and pulled on a tank top. He had not planned on going anywhere today and just wanted to relax, and by relax he meant irritating the rest of the tower.

He grabbed a pair of what were undeniably the most comfortable socks in the world, his fuzzy socks. Natasha had gifted to him at Christmas as a joke but he ended wearing them all the time. He put them on and shuffled out of his room towards the kitchen.

There was a note on the fridge from Steve informing him that he had gone out running with Sam. Bucky just sighed crumpling the note and tossing it then made himself coffee.

By the time Steve and Sam had returned Bucky was wide awake and had already scared Clint. Natasha seemed to be the only person who could approach him without him realizing it and that seemed to frustrate Clint, so Clint had made it his personal agenda to sneak up on Bucky which normally backfired. This time Clint had been spying on Bucky through the vents and had decided to come out and scare him but when he got out of the vent Bucky was no where to be seen. Clint had stood in the room in confusion wondering where he could have gone. ("I mean Bucky isn't exactly small where the hell could he have disappeared to?") That was when metal fingers where rested on Clint's shoulder and he gave a rather girl like scream. This threw Bucky into a laughing fit and Clint climbed back into the vent muttering about how it wasn't funny.

Steve walked in and took one look at Bucky's amused expression and sighed. "What did you do this time Bucky?" Steve sighed but couldn't keep from smiling.

Bucky raised his hands in surrender with a laugh. "It is not my fault that Clint insists on making a fool of himself Steve. He tried to scare me again this morning and he screamed like a girl when it backfired. It was hilarious!" Bucky said shaking his head with a smile.

Steve shook his head and walked into the carpeted living room of the floor they were on picking up a book that he had left on the coffee table the night before. "Well i am going to catch up on my reading for an hour or so." He said and he plopped down onto the couch and began reading.

Bucky began shuffling behind Steve who didn't realize what was going on until Bucky reached over with his right arm and Zap sent a static shock through Steve's cheek.

Steve jumped in response and gave a slight groan. "Don't you have better things to do other than shock me?" Steve asked.

"Probably do, but none are coming to mind." Bucky said grinning holding back a laugh.

Steve sighed and went back to reading not noticing that Bucky had once again began shuffling behind him then Zap another static shock went through Steve's cheek and he gave a yelp of surprise. "Seriously Bucky knock it off." Steve grumbled and he kept reading.

Half an hour past before Bucky began shuffling again on the carpet. He made his way over to Steve who didn't even look up from his book gave a warning growl. "James…" His voice warranted threat, one that Bucky didn't seem to take very seriously because this time he reached out with his left arm and ZAP! A much stronger shock hit Steve's cheek and he threw the book down onto the coffee table and jumped over the couch to tackle Bucky who was laughing rather hard. But in all honesty Steve wouldn't want Bucky any other way. Having Bucky back to being the rather irritating older brother suited Steve just fine.
