Well, seemed better than letting you wonder if I never do the laundry.
( bucky senses the hesitance and understands immediately. alex has never been to the apartment before, so it's normal to also feel unfamiliar, even without being a guest. reaching for alex's hand, bucky takes his own full step back, giving alex a reassuring smile as he tugs gently to lead on.
it's okay, he wants to say but refrains, expecting it'd take them both out of the moment too much. )
[ handholding seems like such a small intimacy comparatively, especially when it's just to lead him around the apartment, but that's what makes the warm feeling blossom in alex's chest. the feeling that just sort of settles in around bucky and doesn't stop, something softly frenetic. like glitter and pop rocks, maybe.
not saying it's okay is the right move — he'd probably cry again and he's trying to stop sounding sniffly, damn. ]
Dude, I would never wonder that. In my head you've got like three outfits that you instantly wash after wearing. Not in a bad way, just... y'know, you're kinda tidy and minimalist and shit.
I have more than three. ( it sounds a little defensive, especially with bucky's step faltering a fraction, but probably because it's close to the truth. ) It's just practical. I'm not exactly swimming in wealth. I gotta save up for the expensive gear somehow.
( excuses, excuses. with how empty the place is, one might wonder where all that supposed expensive gear is. )
