No, no, I know how to compartmentalize.
You'd do the same thing for me, right?
If there was no alternative?

[actualwizard]

well yeah of course

[ But something about that makes him pause. ]

compartmentalize?

[sidecars]

Yeah.
You're a hero, right?
An Avenger?
Sometimes you just gotta DO and not think about it.
There's not always time to debate pros and cons here.
You pull the trigger and forget that your target's also a human.

[ Duh. ]

[actualwizard]

[ Well. He’s slightly horrified now. ]

so you what? Had to pretend you were somewhere else the whole time?

1/3

[sidecars]

[ Well... ]

Wow, that sounds really awful when you type it like that.
It's not—
Uhh, hang on.
I'm gonna actually think before I say anything else here.

2/3

[sidecars]

[ James Barnes is typing... ]

3/3

[sidecars]

I figured if we just got through it—you know, didn't make it a big deal—maybe you wouldn't be upset after it all wore off.
I didn't realize you still felt guilty.
Figured we'd both be on the same page, like foxhole brothers.
You get it out of your system and then you don't talk about it when you come up for air.

Jeez, I'm really bad at this.
I mean, it makes sense we shoulda talked, but...

[actualwizard]

[ Sometimes Billy needs to remind himself that Bucky is from the 40s. ]

...

Ok, I get that. I mean I didn’t come looking for you either so. I’m not blameless.

Let’s just forget about it and move on.

[sidecars]

Are we actually forgetting about it or are you simply saying that and then you are still going to feel bad?

I just don't want you to feel bad!!!
Things happen!

[actualwizard]

...I’m going to try to forget about it? I’ll get over it. Nbd.

[sidecars]

[ Bucky is squinting SO HARD RIGHT NOW!! ]

Is this where we need to hug again?
Unless that would make things weirder...

[actualwizard]

do you want a hug?

[sidecars]

Hey, I'm asking you!
Do you need a hug?
Would a hug make you feel better, because I SENSE through this tiny screen of emotionless letters and punctuation that you don't actually feel better.

But feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

[actualwizard]

[ that gets another smile out of him. ]

oh? You can sense emotions through text now? That’s a pretty impressive super power.

I mean.

I enjoy hugs so I won’t say no to one.

[sidecars]

I'm doing my best to INFER.
It's still hard when you don't tell me what amount of laughter you modern types are always giving off.

[ Ha ha ha, get it? ]

Hmm, you are very good at playing coy.
If you want one, you should get over here magically.

[ He refuses to be the first one to bend!!! ]

[actualwizard]

I’m proud of you. :P

[ It takes a moment and then there’s Billy, appearing in front of him with a pop. ]

Teleporting is going to make you lazy.

[sidecars]

[ Even waiting for the inevitable boop! Bucky still startles as soon as he comes into being beside him. ]

Me lazy? You're the magician here. Look, [ Just to make sure Billy is paying attention, he flexes a very nice bicep. It's nothing compared to Steve's, but it's still pretty boss. Flex flex ooo~! ] Look at this! I'm hale and hearty and ready to run a marathon!

[actualwizard]

[ Billy is resisting the urge to face palm. But also do not fair, flexing at him like that. Rude Bucky. ]

I thought I was coming over for a hug, now you’re gonna go run a marathon?

[ He raises an eyebrow at him teasingly. ]

[sidecars]

Don't worry, I can do both...

[ He doesn't go right for the hug. He's got new ideas now! Instead, Bucky slings an arm around his thin shoulders and pulls him in close. Conspiratorially close. ]

But now I'm thinkin' since you're here 'n all, we might as well grab a bite to eat.

[actualwizard]

Why do I have a feeling you can’t?

[ He gives Bucky a wary look, even if he is enjoying the arm thrown over his shoulder. ]

I could go for some food.

[sidecars]

Because you are a Negative Nancy, bud! [ But that's all right. Bucky won't hold it against him. He's just going to steer Bill toward the door. ]

Then it's my treat! We'll enjoy a night on the town! Er, responsibly.

[ For the best that they don't get too out of hand for awhile. Something tells him it will just lead to this exact scenario once again. ]

[actualwizard]

Wow, pulling out the insults. [ so rude Bucky. ]

On you huh? Well, I won’t argue with that. [ He lets Bucky usher him out of the apartment. ] Where to?
