"making her gold jewelry practically glow against her skin" hmm looking at her skin a lot are you
"They have a tentative truce, him and Mel, or well, he’d like to think they do, so snarky comments about symbolism in dress will just have to wait until he’s in the car with Steve. " pfffft i'm sure steve will appreciate it
"Mel’s just as tense next to him, as if Valentina’s a bomb she can’t quite get close enough to defuse. "hngggg valentina grrrr
"In another life, the rest of Steve matches his voice. " hehehe
"It makes the corner of her mouth quirk up, a twitch of her lips, a suppressed smile, before she tilts her head up a little to look at him better. Warmth rushes to his ears, amplified with every fabric-rustle of Sharon’s ever-watchful form behind them and her voice in his head, go on now and bat your eyelashes at her, win her over to the dark side." he's so screwed
"Most of the time, Bucky goes home about ten minutes later, long enough for spite, soon enough for reason," pffffffft
"If he asked, he could go sleep on Steve’s couch, even now. Even in a different building, with different furniture, with smartlights that turn off on their own, with plush carpet in the hall that doesn’t creak nearly as loud, Bucky thinks it would still probably work, because Steve won’t let him die. Won’t let him be taken, not again. " awwwww
"sometimes, he’ll sit in moments like these and remember this is what he focused on when he was a prisoner. When he’d sit in the cell and close his eyes, trying to conjure the feeling of a warm sun, of the grass, of condesation on a glass of lemonade. The shade of Steve’s hair, of Becca’s freckles, of the crows feet beside his mother’s eyes. The smell of his father’s cologne mixed with tobacco. " owowowow
"“You need to tell Rogers to drop out of the primary. I don’t know how, but Val knows.” " oh shit
i need to know what happens next mira you're very mean to end this on a clliffhanger. how dare you. this was such a good chapter tho!!
