"The Artist"
Steve looked up from his initial sketch, pencil pausing over the cushion behind Bucky.
When Steve's best friend was taken by the enemy, he sustained temporary amnesia due to traumatic injury. They all thought he was dead, when he'd in fact escaped and managed to get back to America. Phil had found Bucky, helped rehabilitate him, and eventually his memory returned.
So Phil had reunited them, and hung around at Bucky's insistence. It took months before Phil realised that Bucky was flirting with him, and that it wasn't just gratitude.
Now here they were, Bucky curled around Phil on the sofa, both of them dozing, and utterly oblivious to Steve drawing their picture.
Well, he had to catch this moment, didn't he? Prosthetic fingers entwined with flesh, Bucky's nose buried behind Phil's ear, Phil's tiny, soft smile as breaths tickled his neck.
Once the drawing was done, he considered turning it into a painting. But he settled on leaving the sketch on the coffee table, and retreated to his room. It was one image he would never forget.
Subtle AU, where Bucky was an ordinary soldier, Phil's a random citizen, and Steve is an artist. Some fluff, since I usually write angst. In fact, the only way to write non-angsty stuff in MCU seems to be a non-powered AU.
Please review!
