"When I built shoes that would let my brother move silently, I called them 'sneakers,'" Shuri tells Sharon as they walk away, and Bucky shakes his head and moves to lean back against the tree. He closes his eyes to keep himself from watching them leave.
He's glad they're getting along well. Glad Sharon has friends here, and is making more, especially if she'll need to stay for a while.
(He wishes Steve was here, and knows he can't be.)
He feels a little ragged around the edges, and concentrates on trying to ground himself in the moment and the place. He sets his hand against the earth, running his fingers over the grass and feeling their texture, and just breathes, and doesn't let himself think about anything else.
