[He pauses realizing that his last few texts make literally no sense and really don't match... kinda. It sounded better in his head.]
That makes my arm feel sticky just thinking about it.
To clarify this wild smoothie of thought...
I'm challenging your ants to see who builds the best can town, we might make some records with said build. If i lose, you get to braid my hair (which i still regret saying). Also we are getting Cassie to join in on these building shenanigans.
It's supposed to be WHEN you lose, I get to braid your hair. And you don't regret it, you're ecstatic, because a) I have new ribbons; b) I am practically expert level at this point; and c) Cassie thinks I make her look *pretty*, so you're going to look pretty, too.
It only took you 70 years to get a makeover. Not bad.
Alright. Alrighhhht. When i lose, the braiding happens. This stays between us and Cassie, until i say otherwise.
You better make be 'super pretty', I want to make the entire neighborhood jealous. [He laughs at that last part. World's deadliest assassin everybody.]
Why, Mr. Barnes! Are you calling me a good stylist already?
You should tell me that after I make you gorgeous. Because I will.
Cassie too. She's great at makeovers--that's why I'm so pretty all the time.
( scott's grinning, too. honestly, he didn't expect to find some--well, friendship. good companionship? whatever he and bucky are, with the infamous winter soldier. but it's hit him that bucky isn't the name he's had to wear for years, and scott's happy to try and give him some shots of normalcy. if he can. )
You busy? You should literally just come over already.
She might be more talented than her father, better watch out. I might end up being her #1 customer.
I was about to head to the store to buy snacks for this thing. So i can definitely stop by right after.
[He'll thank Scott with giving him these opportunities with ridiculous little gifts like food or a horribly hand painted mug of an ant. They really mean a lot to him, plus he enjoys the little moments he gets to spend with Cassie. She reminds him a lot of his younger siblings, well what he remembers of them anyway.]
Oh wait fuck I didn't know you'd come like literally NOW.
Cassie isn't here!
( scott knows what it's like to come out from a bad place and not have a home, and he remembers how grateful he'd been to luis for taking him in. bucky's certainly coming from a more drastic version of prison--how do you deal with 'imprisoned in body and mind?'--so scott's just happy to help.
he's a nice guy, once you get over how much of a shit he is. )
[He shrugs while he's tossing little juices boxes and snacks into his cart at the supermarket that was a few minutes away from his apartment.]
I can pick her up ????
She's literally on the way to your place.
And you are not boring by yourself.
[He'll forever be internally grateful for everyone that's helped, in all their own ways. It helps a lot better than how he used to go about it alone. Even though some of things scott says just zoom over his head, he enjoys his company.]
Actually maybe that's good? You're cuter than me so Maggie'll probably fall for your giant Luke Skywalker eyes
( scott's just kidding. or, well, half-kidding. maggie definitely thinks bucky is cuter, and has since the guy'd earned her trust. scott doesn't blame her in the least. )
I'm kidding I'll ask. You should be able to pick her up no problem, it's not like she has school tomorrow anyway
And dude, between the two of us, i'd say you are cuter than me.
[He used to be quite the charmer back in the day, he'll woo his way into anyone's heart if you let him. They all might be on some wicked sugar high before the day is done, those five bags of 'groceries' are filled with nothing but sweets, junk food and juice boxes.]
Sweet. Should be at their place in 15? or less. Depending on how fast i drive this thing.
[He sets out of his car and honks before walking over to the other side. And sure enough, Cassie comes running out and Maggie is standing in the doorway so he waves at her with a smile. Before kneeling down to hug Cassie and opening the door for her. Making sure she has she seat belt on before walking back over to the driver's side. Yelling a quick thanks.]
( and that's scott's cue to get up off his ass and actually make himself look presentable. his flat isn't dirty, so to speak--he'd been raised to feel ashamed of himself whenever things were unnecessarily post-hurricane looking--but he really needs to stop looking like someone who woke up to one of the worst hangovers of his life.
it doesn't take much; minutes later his hair's in its usual haphazardly neat style, his breath is minty fresh, his face is washed and his clothes are perfect. by the time bucky and cassie arrive, scott looks as close as he can get to handsome when he gets the door. )
Hey-- ( and promptly has the wind knocked out of him because cassie's run into him with all of her eight year old weight to knock him over. )
[The car ride went fantastic, Buck and Cassie caught up on life things like school and whatnot. The rest was just music jamming to the kid friendly playlist on his ipod. Scott would be happy to know that there was no speeding on this journey.
He finds a pretty decent parking spot, grabbed the bags from the trunk and held onto Cassie's hand as they made their way to Scott's door. He can't help but laugh when Cassie goes in for the hug attack.]

( because what kind of moron fights a dude with super-soldier serum? scott does. )
I'll kick your ass AND my ants'll build a better can town
Then your hair is mine for the braiding
no subject
[He'll go easy on you, Steve would be mad if he hurt the team dad.]
I'll be impressed if you make it a downtown city for your ants to live in.
They'd have the coolest ant town in the world. Make the other ants jealous.
Maybe get into Guinness book of world records.

First we fight then we're cool then you insult my ants and now they're being complimented kinda
It's like a wild emotional smoothie but instead of a blender it's your metal arm doing swirlies in a cup

Wait what are you even driving
And I have to ask her mum oh God
no subject
As much as i would have liked to take Steve's motorcycle, the car seemed more practical when it came to the food.
[Buck pays for his cart filled with an assortment of snacks as he laughs back to the car.]
Better ask now or i will when i get there. c:
i'm loving the simplicity of this i'm js ;_;

also don't text and drive! What's wrong with you man!
no subject
[He's been sitting in the car, googling directions cause this is the first time going to her house by himself.]
And of course I'm not gonna speed while Cassie's in the car.
Don't want to risk visiting privileges. I'll text you when i reach her house. :)
[It takes almost 20 mins to get to Cassie's, he might have taken a wrong turn on a prior street and had to loop around.]
Here at Cassie's.
no subject
And hey
Thanks, Bucky.

And no problem, dude.

Cassie is secured. We'll be over in about 20.
