Summary: Steve Rogers is a bit lost in his life. He does have his exhibition project to keep him busy, and his friends are nothing but supportive, like they've always been, but five years after Afghanistan, he's still very much a mess, no way around it.
Bucky Barnes takes life one day at a time. Losing his arm is something he has yet to get used to but he's got a good support network, just like they said he should at the VA. He's drifting behind Sam and Nat a bit, not quite sure what life still has in store for him.
Until he meets that guy that is. The shy one who blushes and smiles in a way Bucky's never seen before. Then anything goes.
