[Virginia AU] as sunshine flows into trees
In the wake of his success creating the block, Pepper manages to coax Tony into coming back down to the city for what Tony says'll be 'a few days, maybe a week.' Bucky wonders how successful she'll be at keeping him there, given that part of the reason he'd moved fully into the compound to begin with was evidently the strain between them, but decides it's not really his business.
In Tony's absence, Steve doesn't think it's a good idea for him to be too far out of reach, just in case something comes up that needs the Avengers. Bucky finds this out when he broaches the idea of going back to Virginia for a day or two, if they can figure out a plausible excuse. He encourages Bucky to go with Sharon anyway, though, and to have fun.
Bucky's not sure if they can get away with it, but there's no question that it'll be easier without Pepper and Tony around to ask awkward questions. Still, he tries not to get his hopes up too high when he comes to find Sharon in the office after Steve heads down for a training session with the team.
He raps on the door with his right hand, and waits for her to answer.

She shifts to lift her head and look down at him. "You could start trying some things again, if that would help. Steve and I could help you come up with options."

It's clear from the tone of his voice that he thinks she understands the problem he's been struggling with.

She kisses him gently back and gives him a faint smile, then pushes up to retrieve the strawberries. "Want another one?"

At least he's gotten better at making these small decisions, identifying small wants. Fresh fruit. To lie out in the sun. She lifts the berry to his lips. "Here you go."

She gasps, unable to keep from rocking her hips to press against his mouth. Her fingers thread into his hair, the blanket falling away from them as he moves and as she shifts, letting sunlight glow on his head and bare back, gleaming off the metal of his left arm.
