Summary
“Sam? What’s going on?” He kept his voice at a whisper, not wanting his previous distress to be obvious.
The voice on the other end was just as quiet, but doubtfully for the same reason. “Well, look who decided to finally answer their phone.”
If he had the energy for it, Bucky would’ve scowled. “Yeah, yeah. Why are you calling so late?”
“Because you never told me what your apartment number is, and I’m not about to start knocking on random doors to find out.”

Or the one where Bucky struggles once he and Sam part ways, so Sam decides to take a little trip to New York. Set shortly after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Summary
“On a scale of one to ten, how weird would it be if I washed your hair?” He kept his tone light. The less serious he was, the easier it would be for Bucky to say yes.
“You... want to wash my hair?” Bucky questioned. “It’s that bad, huh?”
Even though yes, it was that bad, Sam instantly waved him off. He wasn’t trying to make him feel bad about it. “No, not at all. Sarah packed me some of her hair products, and I just thought you’d appreciate them more than I would.”

Or the one where Bucky has been too tired to take care of himself, so Sam helps him. Set shortly after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Summary
“You okay?” Sam tried to hide his worry, but Bucky could see it in his eyes.
He nodded, but his legs didn’t move. “Yeah. I’m good.”
Instead of calling him out, Sam held out his hand. “Come on,” he whispered. “It’ll be fun.”
After staring at his best friend’s outreached hand for a few moments, Bucky forced himself to take it. With a sly grin, Sam immediately yanked him into the hall.
“I’m going to regret this,” Bucky muttered, using his free hand to lock the door.
“Possibly,” Sam conceded. He tugged Bucky along, casually intertwining their fingers once they reached the elevator. “But you won’t know unless you try.”
—
Or the one where Sam finally convinces Bucky to make his apartment his own, so they go shopping together. Set shortly after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Summary
“What happened?” Sam wanted to reach out and touch him, but he knew better. Until he knew what was going on, he wasn’t going to invade his space.
Bucky cleared his throat. “I was trying to make you a cake.” His eyes shined with annoyance as he looked down, focusing in on his black socks. “I forgot to buy eggs.”
As Sam replayed his reply over and over in his head, he stared at Bucky, finding himself completely dumbfounded. He wasn’t expecting baking to be the reason for his boyfriend’s distress. When he first laid his eyes on him, Sam figured it was another one of his flashbacks.
Then again, now that Sam thought about it, Bucky hadn’t had one in weeks.
—
Or the one where Bucky wants to make Sam a cake but gives up when he forgets one stupid ingredient, so Sam dedicates the day to buying eggs and making it together.

Summary
“Mr. Wilson! Or should I call you Cap?” Peter mused. He didn’t give Sam a chance to answer. “Wow, you’ve never called me before! I forgot you had my num—”
Before Peter could get too carried away, Sam interrupted him. “Don’t worry about it. Listen— I know it’s late, but I could really use your help right now.”
With widened eyes, Peter turned on his light and slowly sat up. From his voice alone, he could tell Sam was extremely concerned about… something (or someone). His gaze bounced around the room, already looking for his bag. Heroes always helped other heroes.
“What is it?” Peter rushed out.
Sam sighed. “It’s Bucky."
—
Or the one where Bucky gets hurt so Sam calls Peter, and Peter helps Bucky in more ways than one. Set sometime after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Summary
The only time Bucky got a little peace was when they let him sleep. It was the one place where he got to see his Sam.
Out of everything he lost, he missed Sam the most. He doubted his partner was okay, but he liked to think he was. Maybe he was back with his sister and nephews in Delacroix. Maybe he was out there fighting, saving people with the shield in hand.
His own happiness didn’t seem possible anymore, so he prayed for Sam’s every night. It was the only thing he could still do for him.
—
Or the one where Bucky is taken from his and Sam's apartment in the middle of the night, and it takes Sam nearly two months to track him down.

Summary
“You made your emergency contact,” Sam murmured. “You never told me you did that.”
Bucky scoffed again. “Not like I have a big contact list,” he muttered. “Think you’re the only one who’d show up.”
Sam opened his mouth to object, but he couldn’t. Unless Bucky was suddenly a fan of people, he usually kept to himself. He’d been close to Steve and Natasha, but they weren’t around anymore. Sam was the only one left.
He squeezed Bucky’s hand. He still hadn’t let go. “I’ll always show up. You know that don’t you?”
Bucky looked at him again. Really looked at him, and Sam almost had to turn away. His gaze was so intense sometimes. It used to freak Sam out, but now he just saw it as something Bucky did.
“They shouldn’t have called you.” Bucky slowly took his hand back. Almost like he didn’t want to, but felt like he had to. “They shouldn’t have done anything.”
—
Or the one where Sam finds out Bucky stepped off the roof of Avengers Tower, and Bucky confesses more than he means to. Set after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Summary
“I just don’t understand why you lied to me.” Bucky stared down at the blankets. “The situation wasn’t time-sensitive, and you knew that. Waiting a few days wouldn’t have made a difference.”
Bucky took a shaky breath. Considering what went down, coming up with sufficient reasoning felt impossible. What would’ve happened if Sam had been overpowered?
Sam was waiting for an answer, but Bucky didn’t have one. With a short sigh, Sam took the Gatorade from him. He moved away from the bed, seeming to be too irritated to stay near him.
“It was important,” Bucky eventually murmured, his voice small. He didn’t know what else to say. “They needed to be stopped.”
He watched as Sam shook his head. “You know what’s important?” He walked a little closer, but he was still set on keeping his distance. "You."
—
Or the one when Bucky doesn't tell Sam he's sick during a mission, and Sam is the opposite of happy when he finds out. Set after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
