Dancing with you (while the raindrops bless us)

Sam and Bucky celebrate Bucky's birthday.

Sam wonders sometimes, how unlike two souls can be even when they are in love. Since he was a little kid, he had to hear the saying "opposites attract" probably more times than he has heard his name. He still wonders, how contrasting two peoples' habits can be, while their hearts dance together all the time. Like Bucky and him. So dissimilar, yet so similar.

 Here he is, awake along with the sun just like every other morning, and right by his side, there's Bucky too, lightly snoring away peacefully. His calm, sleeping face with slight bits of blush on his cheeks and nose reminds Sam of a white carnation that maybe has three drops of blood on it. Not many people would describe Bucky that way. Maybe they will connect him to blood and destruction, but they wouldn't focus on how he tries to wipe that blood away. Or how much he's working on not letting anyone cause destruction, now that he has the full autonomy over his very own mind and body. 

Well, they don't get to see him the way Sam gets to. Sam gets to wake up with the blue-eyed man right beside him. To the rest of the world, Sergeant James Barnes was the winter soldier, is the white wolf- a reformed super-soldier. To Sam, he is a man who has undergone all degrees of pain and torture, yet never lost his heart and that sweet laugh that makes him close his eyes and blush in the most captivating way possible. To Sam, he's Bucky, his sweetheart.

Sam's eyes trace every curve of Bucky's face in the faint glow of the string lights on their bedroom walls. Another difference between them. Sam can't stay asleep with any light. Bucky can't even fall asleep without at least a slight bit of light. They settled on string lights that give out a soft blue glow. Turns out, with his peaceful Bucky by his side, Sam slept just fine. Possibly better now than before.

Sam has always been a morning person but Bucky wouldn't even dream about getting up before 10 am. Usually, when they have days off from their missions, Sam really misses Bucky in the morning. He has to go about the earliest part of the day without his love, who would still be in a deep slumber. But today he's glad for that, as it will provide him with more than enough time to make Bucky that delicious birthday breakfast he has been planning for a month. Well, Sam wasn't only planning for one breakfast for the last thirty days; there's more to that plan, but it's the first part. 

To make this day one of the most treasured ones in their relationship, Sam carefully wiggles out of the bed, right after placing a feathery kiss on top of Bucky's temple.

Sam did not see that coming. One moment he was humming to himself, flipping the slices of bacon, and the next moment he was letting out the manliest squeal of the year. All because his boyfriend sneaked on him and pressed his 'hotter than the Sun' lips on the back of his exposed neck.

All Sam can do now is to try glaring at Bucky which turns into a fond smile within two seconds. That's what happens to Captain America whenever his white wolf giggles and cackles with mischief, any sort of worry absent from his sweet face.

"When did you get up, birthday boy? Didn't even hear you comin'."

"Like fifteen minutes ago? Woke up and smelled coffee, so here I am at 9:52 am in the freaking morning!" Bucky's eyes widen, emphasizing the 'ungodly hour'.
