@silentstormsx He nodded with a bright grin, sitting up slightly. โYes, you do. Itโs getting so warm in hereโฆโ he teased as he slowly discarded the robe and tossed it onto the floor.
@silentstormsx Bucky let out a low hum, arching up and turning toward him. โYeah?โ He whispered softly, a nice black lace pair of underwear resting on his hips. โI have another surprise under this.โ
@silentstormsx He looks at him with a grin, tilting his head. โHello there, darling.โ He greets, stretching playfully. โAre you just gonna stand there, or are you gonna open your present?โ
He smiled softly and nodded as he followed her. He pushed down his feelings, told himself that it was better this way.
โIโm afraid Iโm going to drink this place dry.โ
โYouโre the only family I need,โ she said, then leaned up and kissed his cheek softly.
โCome on, we look silly standing here like this,โ she said, then moved to put her hand in his and start pulling him from the middle of the room.
He had stopped dancing, but he never let her go. โWe still have time.โ He said, his voice soft.
โYouโll have the family youโve always wanted.โ
He understood. Dating wasnโt in the cards for him, either. He tried, but everyone just saw his age. Sure, he didnโt look like it physically, but mentallyโ he had decades on them. And it was too much.
โDo you ever think youโll settle down?โ He asked curiously as the song came +
She frowned at him and shook her head.
โYou know better than to ask me that, James. Iโm not interested in that. Nobody really. . . clicks with me like that, and itโs okay. Itโs understandable. I could be their grandma. Gosh, their ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต grandma.โ
She sighed a little bit. โ
โYouโve got thousands of guys willing to be with you,โ he said, tilting his head slightly.
โWhy does my opinion matter so much?โ He was mostly curious. Theyโve been friends for so long, but heโs always loved her. He just wouldnโt say it. Too scared to admit it.
โJust in work clothes a lot, you know? I like when you think Iโm pretty.โ
She shrugged small, as if she were a little shy to admit.
โItโs just. . . nice.โ
โI want you to dress however you want. Youโre still pretty in my eyes.โ He admitted. It was true. In a suit, in sweatpants, in a dressโ it was all perfect. ๐โ๐ was perfect.
โSometimes you do, thatโs true. I just think itโs still rare when you see me as something moreโฆ feminine. Feel like you donโt get to a whole lot.โ
Stephanie held onto him tighter this time when she was brought back in, her smile one of full devotion to her best guy.
โMm, rare to get a compliment from you like that ~ but thank you. Guess itโs been a while since Iโve got to get out of the suit and it something fitting.โ
