Date: 2025-06-08 01:41 am (UTC)[he starts to type "I'll be here," but it's still a bit strange to voice. better, for the moment, just to focus on knowing it to be true.]
Is charades the Christmas one?

Date: 2025-06-08 04:22 am (UTC)I love you xno it's the one where you have to act out something and people have to guess what it isbut I'm not sure which is the Christmas onewhich is the Christmas one?no subject
Date: 2025-06-08 11:45 am (UTC)there's a long pause as loki runs through all the impulses the words send rushing through him (i love you too; full avoidance; promises, promises; ignoring it completely; no, you don't; oh, you shouldn't).]
That sounds like the Christmas one. They were mad for it in France the first time I was there.
[no, ignoring it isn't right.]
Do you really?
shhh ilu is okay bb 😚
Date: 2025-06-08 04:10 pm (UTC)oh then it might be the very sameI'm not sure when you were in France but it's possiblehave I shown you anything else?( rather than pain, this one serves doubt. trust bucky to gaslight himself when it comes to matters of the heart. )

Date: 2025-06-08 05:19 pm (UTC)[had anyone else said, across the centuries? certainly no one else had in a way that slipped under his skin and curled around his heart.]
But there's seeing and hoping, and then there's hearing and knowing.

Date: 2025-06-08 06:12 pm (UTC)Ah, my own, what am I supposed to do when you say such tender things to me?
Will I see you soon?
no subject
Date: 2025-06-08 06:21 pm (UTC)or had he simply made it that easy to begin with?
—no, no. this is already more than what's deserved. asking or expecting more is entitled. and if loki wants sooner, than sooner he should have. )
yesI'm leaving now
I'll be back soonmaybe 12 minno subject
Date: 2025-06-08 06:51 pm (UTC)[less rush means more time for loki to turn the words over and over, to feel where they fit against the core of himself. less rush means more time to find what his own ought to be.]
May I let myself in?
[all of it would be easier inside a space that felt so definitively like bucky.]

Date: 2025-06-08 07:09 pm (UTC)I'll be here.
[what a strange thing, to believe that of himself.]

Date: 2025-06-08 07:22 pm (UTC)soon5 more minutes and I'll be there with youno subject
Date: 2025-06-08 09:29 pm (UTC)it suits. it fits. they fit.
and "i love you" is the same warm, living thing as "I'll be there with you." in the abstract, they make his hands tremble. in the concrete, they'll fit into the patchwork of this, them; the desperate joy they're allowing themselves to claim.
he can't stop pacing all the same as he waits, fingers twisting together as his mind works to twist his words into the right order.]
no subject
Date: 2025-06-08 09:46 pm (UTC)when he arrives at the door, he hesitates before reaching for his key, taking a breath, a swallow, and burying the doubt with a well practiced smile.
the lock goes as easily as the door. he will be here. that is enough. )
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 01:22 am (UTC)--you're here.
[it's none of the things he'd meant to say. it's what matters.]
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 01:29 am (UTC)Of course. You wanted me here, and so I am.
( keys stashed again, the lackadaisical amble inward reflects the comfort he holds in this space. despite whatever misgivings still lurk, the man he loves so thoroughly is here and was awaiting him. however temporary the need may be, it's still worth fulfilling. flesh hand catching gently against loki's cheek, bucky telegraphs his approach as he leans in for a kiss. )
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 01:53 am (UTC)bucky hasn't minded all the other stumbling. maybe they can stumble through this as well.]
...I always do. [his own fingers catch for the man's shirt, fretful and twisting and seeking an anchor point.] I'd consume all your seconds, if I could.
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 02:00 am (UTC)Is time something to be consumed? But I'm here, now. Yours to devour.
( temporally. physically. )
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 02:13 am (UTC)[it would be easy to just sink into that. the raw nerves would be easy to bury under the solid certainty of falling into each other. loki lets his fingers shift, spidering toward fully engulfing bucky in a clinging embrace, face angling to bury in against the man's neck.]
It's the only way I know how to love.
[circling this still feels important.]
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 02:31 am (UTC)Devouring? But won't I eventually be spent? Fully consumed?
( he isn't entirely sure if that's good, but that loki speaks to some sort of love at least quells some anxiety. )
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 02:55 am (UTC)loki nods slightly, careful not to dislodge either of them from being pressed into place.]
Will you be patient with me? While I learn it properly?
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 03:08 am (UTC)I'm not even sure if I know how to. But I'd never be impatient with you. Every moment with you is a gift. One that I cherish dearly, no matter what we are going through.
no subject
Date: 2025-06-09 09:57 am (UTC)You do it beautifully, you know.
