( audio 32 )

[yourbestguysgun]

'm just gonna chalk this up to some future thing I don't get, but whatever it is, it ain't funny.

[ It's audio simply because Bucky doesn't quite want to broadcast I got tortured by HYDRA and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. He still has to go to work though, has to be a normal human being for once even if all he wants to do is set the damn thing on fire. Whether or not he's out of it is optional the mood he's in. ]

Anyone care t'explain it?

( ooc: feel free to run into him at any point if you want to. he will be the grumpiest, but it's good with me. )

[He is actually getting home at eight in the morning, and he's shedding his armor when he finally sees Bucky's shirt.

It takes him a second to read it.]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Crossing his arms over his chest immediately. As if that will obscure the message any. ]

Long night?

[punchedhitler]

I- yes. Sorry I wasn't home but.

What are you wearing?

[yourbestguysgun]

It's a curse.

[ It's a curse and he hates it, nervous and horrible energy coursing through him. What is it with this place and reminding him of it? ]

Anything happen? [ Because he's going to at least act like this is normal and okay. ]

[punchedhitler]

Nothing too bad.

[He stares at it for another second]

You headed to work? This schedule is making me crazy.

[yourbestguysgun]

Later. I'm helping open up. [ He's just awake early for once.

He pauses, then turns to head into the kitchen because he can still see Steve and put the coffee machine on at the same time. ] You look like you need to sleep, buddy.

[punchedhitler]

[Steve looks at Bucky and then the coffee]

Give me a mug, I'll be okay for a couple hours.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He keeps his head tilted down while he pours, makes himself busy. ]

So what's nothing too bad?

[punchedhitler]

Just a couple of calls. A couple of people making too much noise.

[He reaches for his mug]

[hexuality]

Oh, so it's not just some Muggle thing? I don't get the joke, either.

[yourbestguysgun]

If it is, it's after my time.

[hexuality]

Some things shouldn't be on shirts.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah, I'm fully on board with that, sweetheart.

[hexuality]

D'you want me to promise not to ask after yours?

[yourbestguysgun]

If y'wouldn't mind. Not really in the mood t'explain.

[hexuality]

Just because I'm stubborn doesn't mean I'm entirely insensitive. I swear I won't pry.

[He might get a hug, though, which she'll pass off as a greeting more than anything else. She'd understand the text on his shirt to an extent in regards to her own world, after all.]

[yourbestguysgun]

Thanks, sweetheart. Same goes for you, y'know, unless you want to talk about it. [ But his tone suggests he knows she won't, because he doesn't and he'd understand either way. ]

[waitedforyears]

Jaime. What's HYDRA?

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He winces, but when he speaks he's got it pretty much together for the most part. Of course, his tone's pretty dead right now, so. ]

The Red Skull's Nazi army.

[waitedforyears]

'm coming over with booze.

[yourbestguysgun]

I gotta work. [ Which is making this whole situation even worse. Bucky's sense of responsibility warring with his wanting to hide it. ]

Y'can come keep me company if you'd like.

[waitedforyears]

Call in sick, stupid, and get drunk with me.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He doesn't want to deal with this, so he pauses. ]

All right, but not here.

[waitedforyears]

My place, then?

[yourbestguysgun]

I'll be over as soon as.
