I thought there was usually some kinda ceremony involved with that that's sorta hard to miss. [ steven, how did you even accomplish this. what did you do. bless your precious, innocent, adorable heart. and then the mention of the spouse in this arrangement is brought up, almost with the telling band of stars, and if andyr didn't lose his shit before, he certain is now. ]
Buck-- Oh my god, I love this, it was Bucky? [ laughing. his. ass. off. oh lord. he wishes he could've been flower girl for this. the mind theatre alone is priceless. just think of the winter soldier in a floraly veil, basically. ]
That's perfect. So where you headed for the honeymoon, Mrs. Barnes?
[ He supposes he deserves that. Steve rubs at the back of his neck, kind of shrugging. ]
They asked a bunch of questions and paired us without explaining that part. [ Something about matching the person with the same mark on their finger, not that he'd ever assumed he'd have been standing right next to that person, and after a second or two, Steve sort of frowns. ] I don't know if he really got what it meant. [ A pause. ] Do you think it means anything?
[ Because his relationship with Bucky is complicated beyond what they are to each other, and asking Andyr probably isn't the best way to determine any of that. He shakes his head. ] Never mind. I guess I'll have to figure that part out as soon as we leave.
[ andyr pauses a second, giving some honest thought to it. it doesn't really surprise him much, honestly, that they'd been matched. they're attached at the hip, and endlessly tangled up in each other. even with how skewed bucky is now from what he was, he's still intrinsically in sync with steve most days. ]
Think it just means you could love your best friend. [ romantically love, and really, andyr doesn't think that's something that should be unusual. considering he maybe sort of loves his oops we're not talking about it. if there's someone you can be that close to and feel that open with, then yeah, love should be a possibility. maybe it wouldn't work out for a large number of reasons, but that's everything in life. ] Or you're just a good team.
[ isn't that what marriage is supposed to be? going at life tag team? hell, what does he even know about it? he only ever remembers his father raising him, and what he has in his mind of his mom are glimpses and blurred memories of a nurturing woman. either way - ]
I don't think that's a bad thing, Steve. Or anything shocking.
