[ true to his word, bucky shows up in two hours, give or take a few minutes. he's using the front door, too - a sign that he's taking things seriously because he rarely wants to use the door when there's a perfectly working window near the fire escape. it's a matter of safety; fewer points for ambush via fire escape compared to going through the trouble of stairs. and turning around hallways. and meeting neighbors, that too.
he raps on the card table by the door to formally announce his arrival. ]
[Sitting over on his couch with the computer in his lap, Steve has a movie on. He's leaned back, head braced by one arm and legs stretched out and up on the coffee table in front of him. It's moderately comfortable for most people, but for Steve-- he couldn't ask for anything better. The movie is one he's seen before and doesn't bother to look up when he hears the door, but lifts his hand to wave Bucky over.
When Buck raps at the table, he drags his attention away, and meets Bucky's gaze with a soft smile, gentle eyes, and a little something more tucked behind them that beckon his best guy across the room ]
You don't need an invite. You know you're always welcome. I told you that I'd be up. There's no way I'm going to bed, Buck. Not tonight. Come sit.
