[ It's mid-morning, he's had three cups of coffee, and there are six bullets in his gun. Those are details nobody needs to know but he's thinking of making them public knowledge anyway. When he smiles it's sharp and wide and so very full of the Christmas spirit, obviously. ]

It's that time of year again. [ In seventy years he might be giving this message and cleaning knives, who knows. Just be thankful he's not crazy right now. ] And curse or not there are a few penalties. [ Sweet, innocent --. ] Let's just say if you're struck with the deep desire to lay one on Captain America? Don't. They wouldn't find your body.

[ Another flash of a grin. ] Only one who gets to do that is his fiance.

( ooc: ahahahaha so Bucky can't help himself, he is a child. Feel free to respond to this post via the usual network routes or if you want to run into him and lay one on him he'll be at the station then walking through town on his patrols before finally heading home for the day. Come poke him with sexy sticks. )

because they need more good trauma right

[She saw his post, of course, so when she sees him on the street, she calls out: ]

Full of holiday cheer, aren't you, Barnes?

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He pauses, is almost about to flip her off before he realises who she is. ]

Hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

[hexuality]

Were you about to be rude to your favourite witch?

[She tuts, crossing the distance between them, wrapped up in her white coat and hat, flaming hair spilling over her shoulders.]

Have you shot anyone yet? I don't fancy giving you a lecture on such a nice, romantic day.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He has the decency to look a little bashful, like a kid with a broken cookie jar. ]

Not yet. But there's still half a day left. [ Besides, it's not romantic to have your future husband kissing strangers. ]

[hexuality]

[She rolls her eyes but her smile is fond and she goes digging in one of her shopping bags to hand him a little box of chocolates.]

There. Will that make you feel better?

[punchedhitler]

I'm surprised it took you this long to say it out loud.

[yourbestguysgun]

I thought spelling it out was a waste of everyone's time. The mistletoe kind of took that out of my hands though.

[ Steve, your future husband is a jealous wreck. ]

[punchedhitler]

I haven't kissed anyone today, so put the gun away, soldier.

[yourbestguysgun]

You kissed me this morning.

[ He's a pedantic wee fucker. ]

[punchedhitler]

Not because of mistletoe.

[Ta-daaa]

[Wait a sec.]

[anunluckypenny]

Fiance?

[yourbestguysgun]

Um.

[ Awh crap. ] Steve didn't tell you. [ It's not a question. Steve doesn't tell anyone anything if he thinks it'll hurt them. ]

[anunluckypenny]

Not--uh, no.

[It was a dumb infatuation anyway. Steve was pretty obviously not into her, and Bucky's good people, so.]

But congratulations! Are you guys having a wedding? You know, after you mow down anyone who tries to kiss him.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He offers up a small smile. ] Probably. We've ain't got a lot of plans so far beyond the actually being engaged thing.

I guess I should keep the mindless violence to a minimum until I put a ring on it. [ He listens to the radio, okay? ]

[gratefultogetaway]

You know, I've never really gotten the whole mistletoe thing. I mean, why do we kiss under it, anyway? It's a plant, it's not magic...well, I guess it is here, but.

[Shrug.]

I pity the fool who thinks about smooching Steve today.

[Anya no you haven't watched the A Team don't do that.]

[yourbestguysgun]

I don't know, it's just a thing I reckon. One of those things that people believe in even if they don't really remember why they're believing in it.

[ Like going to church. But he doesn't say that out loud because Steve will just frown at him. ]

[gratefultogetaway]

Isn't mistletoe supposed to be poisonous or something like that? It's an odd tradition, that's for sure...

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He shrugs, a little grin crossing his features. ] Maybe. I wouldn't want to eat it anyway. Anything that causes an outbreak in stupid kissing can stay the hell away as far as I'm concerned.

[gratefultogetaway]

I wouldn't wanna eat it either. It's probably covered in cooties...which would explain the kissing thing, actually.

[anya you are an adult cooties are not real what.]

[likehim_likeme]

...why are you making this statement instead of her?

[Excuse him so much. These are not ideals he grew up with.]

[Video]

[yourbestguysgun]

Him.

[ It's okay, Bucky grew up in the same thing. The only difference is it makes him slightly more aggressive now that he has Steve. Nobody gets to tell him he shouldn't be allowed. ]

And because he thinks it's rude to tell people to go to hell. So I had to do the honours.

[Video]

[likehim_likeme]

Well, generally speaking, it is a bit rude.

And... did you say 'him'?

[Video]

[yourbestguysgun]

So's kissing someone else's fella.

[ A pause. ] I did.

[Video]

[likehim_likeme]

Well, I for one have no intentions of such.

[He says nothing for a moment. Sure, his designer was quite gay. Flamboyantly, even. But that's expected of a ballet designer.]

And they don't mind you... announcing it like this?
