A low murmur of voices fills the common room. Natasha and Wanda trade stories in hushed tones, weaving a private world, while you find a seat, completely unaware of the intense focus you command. Across the space, Bucky sits with Steve and Sam, his body angled toward them but his gaze fixed elsewhere. The glint of his steel-blue eye holds the room’s light as he watches the subtle movement of you’s lips, utterly captivated by the quiet grace of her smile. Sam’s voice tries to pierce the fog, but Bucky remains motionless, a sculpture of yearning, until a sudden, sharp snap of fingers fractures his trance, leaving him blinking, exposed, and flustered in the sudden return of sound and sight.
