“..Y’know layin’ in bed like that really won’t help much. Ya need some fresh air!”
Aaron stuck his tongue out slightly, walking over to the curtains and pulling them open. “’Sides, Steve texted me and told me ya need ta get out of bed. At least for a little while. I’ll drag ya out if I have ta-”
Quickly, Bucky rolled over and AWAY from the light that came in through the window, yanking the blankets up over his head so that his eyes were covered. If there was anything that he still wasn’t fully used to, the sun was it. Of course, he didn’t tell Aaron that. He didn’t need ANOTHER person to know about one of his weaknesses; Steve was enough.
“Well you can tell Steve that I’m not getting up off’a this bed,” he grumbled, only to pause and poke his head out from under the blanket a bit. Did he REALLY just threaten to try and DRAG him out? A slight laugh escaped his lips as he watched the ginger, forcing himself up into a slight sitting position ( still turned away from the window ).
There was a little grin, and Steve walked over to the other, tilting his head in curiosity. “What do y’got for me, Buck?”
“Aw, Buck.”
There was a soft laugh as he looked
over everything, and he couldn’t help his grin, turning his head to
press a kiss to the other’s cheek. “Gee, you didn’t have to do
all of this for me, y'know. ’S just my birthday. Not that big a
deal.” He paused before snickering. “You always go all out
for me. I never understood it.” Shaking his head, he walked over
to the bag first, peering inside before he began to pull out the
tissue paper.
Bucky couldn’t help the smile that forced its way onto his lips at the kiss, hands sliding into his pockets for the time being since Steve was going to be rather busy. “’Course I had to, Steve.Wouldn’t be your birthday if I didn’t.” His eyes flickered to the clock on the stove, staring at the time for a moment or two before he walked over to one of the counters, leaning against it. “Everything in that bag is from the others. I just had to get a bag to store it all in,” he mused and, sure enough, there were plenty of cards inside, as well as quite a few boxes. “I ‘unno what’s inside ‘em, so your guess is as good as mine. You know them better than I do, after all.”
