"Bucky"

"This would be more appropriate for Halloween."

"No, it wouldn't," Phil said. "This isn't for trick-or-treating."

"I don't care," Bucky said, waving his metal arm. It tugged the cord, and Phil tutted.

"Hold still," he said.

Bucky grumbled, but complied. "What's this in aid of?" he asked.

"Haven't you guessed?" Phil said, grinning from beneath his chimney-shaped hat. "It's for the cards."

"Cards?"

"A picture for the front of the Christmas cards we're sending," he said. "Our first as a couple."

"Which is why I'm decorated like a tree?"

"You make a beautiful tree."

"The strangest compliment I've ever had."


I liked the idea of Christmas lights being draped around Bucky's arm, and it developed into this. I wouldn't object if someone drew this as a picture, since I'm definitely not artistic enough to pull that off.
