[ Yeah, well. The only way to get used to it is to just continue to be around it, and it's not like Sam's really been afraid of making Bucky uncomfortable. If that means taking it slow and peppering it with sarcastic comments and a liberal amount of both of them being maybe a little bit of a dick to keep it from being too overwhelming, hell, Sam would've done that anyway. But he's still not going anywhere.

Especially not when he sees Bucky fighting off that smile, and he can't help but smirk back at him. ]

[ Honestly, Sam's not sure if Bucky didn't respond to the feathers thing because of what he picked up from Bucky back when he first woke up with them or because it's one of those things that Bucky just doesn't feel like needs to be acknowledged, but he doesn't hesitate to call it out. ] I'm gonna take your silence to mean that you admit you looked about sixty percent better with them in and just don't know how to ask me to do it again. I still got some with me, man, you wanna look good you just say the word.
