𝆬 you 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱'𝘃𝗲 just . . . 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁𝑒𝒹 m̲e̲ . . .

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "Yeah," Bucky laughed. "If I get anything too excessive it get's a bit overwhelming."

"Easy to get myself to eat the most normal selections of fruit, at least."

He brought his flesh hand to lightly pat atop Alpine's head, bringing his thumb to trace along her forehead.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

he's ... around, turns out publicity is a way bigger deal than he thought, he's glad he learned how to write with his metal hand. she can blame val and her endless stacks of paperwork.

[𝙋𝙍𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙒𝘼𝙆𝘼𝙉𝘿𝘼 @WakandanGxnious]

She's looking for @BIONICVOLTAGE, having not seen him all day.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "The most basic selection someone could get; strawberries, blueberries, you get the gist." He joked.

He didn't need much, just enough to get by. Good to stay healthy, he learned that the hard way.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "I am, I am." Bucky laughed at her words, before moving to get closer, leaning to rub his thumb over the bridge of Alpine's nose.

"She loves you so much."

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious Bucky put away his own fruit, then made his way to stand in proximity of the two of them.

He couldn't help but smile as he watched Shuri play with Alpine. "I know this cat, she knows me just as well. You keep comin' over, she'll know you too."

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "Right," Bucky agreed. "Less violence, sad they even have to protest though."

"Alpine's been fine, her usual self; she's missed you, though." He said, a quiet laugh proceeding. "She might ambush you the second you walk in the door."

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious Bucky hummed, "Lots of robberies, tons of stabbings, dunno how peaceful it's gonna be once politics become the main focus again."

He huffed. "People get too up in arms about these protests, it's not like they're gonna be able to stop them. I respect the protestors, honestly."

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious He leaned into her as he was pulled further towards her. "For now, yeah." He laughed, squeezing her hand as their fingers were interlaced.

"But, y'know, I always want you to have more than you need." He gave her a smirk, then grabbed his card back.

"C'mon." He grabbed his bags.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious He huffed, a grin painting his face. Amused. "That wouldn't be taking advantage of me, Shuri."

He eyed the price, then gave a shrug. "Never a bad thing to stock up, y'know." He handed over his card once the price was finalized.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious Bucky nodded, following her with his own fruit in hand. "It won't be you got like... The cheapest fruits," he laughed, "Don't be afraid of getting anything else next time."

Once they arrived to the checkout, he put his stuff down, then motioned for her to put hers down too.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious He'd grabbed a variety for himself, before he put his focus back on Shuri.

"Well, what'd you get? Mine's probably not gonna be over a few dollars, so don't worry if yours ends up being a little spendy, they do it by weight." He raised a brow.

i became good at pretending. i became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. and sometimes， when i did a really good job of pretending， i even fooled myself.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

/ anyone interested in doing something before classes start up again on the 8th? i won't be very active once they do

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "Yes I can." Bucky snickered, before shifting his focus to the fruit.

"Pick whatever you want, no limits." He said, before moving to grab his own in little bags.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "You know I prefer to pay for you," Bucky snickered, squeezing her hand back. "Doesn't make sense for you to pay for things."

The stand wasn't far, down a street or two then they'd be there. He'd point it out.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious Bucky followed quickly behind her, keeping the door open, then closing it once he'd exited himself.

"They do," he nodded. "I'll get you a whole thing of them."

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

what do you mean, not always?

[𝙋𝙍𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙒𝘼𝙆𝘼𝙉𝘿𝘼 @WakandanGxnious]

Not always.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "There's a great fruit stand near here, think they grow their stuff themselves." Bucky suggested. His thumb grazed her knuckles as he spoke, a small, loving gesture.

"Cheap, too."

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

i'm always right.

[𝙋𝙍𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙒𝘼𝙆𝘼𝙉𝘿𝘼 @WakandanGxnious]

Okay okay. This time, you're right.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

and? aren't i right, now?

[𝙋𝙍𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙒𝘼𝙆𝘼𝙉𝘿𝘼 @WakandanGxnious]

Well, that was certainly a beautiful mouthful. I love you too Bucky.

[𝓦𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 : 𝓢𝓞𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 — ✪ @BIONICVOLTAGE]

@WakandanGxnious "I'd say you should have eaten more, but I'm not exactly the best at keeping up with feeding myself either." He shook his head, before squeezing her hand.

"Let's get something light, if you haven't really eaten all day, it's never a good idea to have a big meal."
