Summary
The doorknob dug uncomfortably into the small of Bucky’s back. But as he looked at Steve, an inch away, he realized that his face was twisted into a grin—a kind of dumb one, he knew, but that’s what Steve tended to do to him these days. Always had—turned him stupid.
“Nice dinner,” Steve hummed, quiet like he never was. As he spoke his lips brushed against Bucky’s, catching on the skin. It felt like about a hundred volts right to the chest, right down to his fingertips.

Summary
“You know, if you really loved me, you’d kiss me even with—” and Buck waves his hands in the general direction of his mouth, “—all this.”
And because Eddie really is disgustingly in love with him, he actually, for about a second, considers it. Just a faint brush of their lips, or the corner of Buck’s mouth, maybe; Eddie hasn’t been letting on too much just how on edge he is, but this is the longest they’ve gone without a kiss in— forever, probably. Ever since the first one. He shakes the thought away. But he’s already angling down, eyes set on Buck’s; except when he’s about half an inch away he diverts, dropping a quick kiss to the tip of Buck’s nose instead.

Summary
It smells like paint fumes and sweat, and Buck couldn’t be happier. His t-shirt is sticking to his back and the sun is beating down with fervor even through the drawn blinds, making it all look even hazier than it feels: Eddie back in L.A., back in this house, back close enough to touch.
Buck and Eddie paint a room, and fall for each other.

Summary
They should write songs about Merlin’s mouth, Arthur thinks as their lips meet; maddening, insistent, trembling slightly, as pillow-soft as Arthur expected and more forceful than he could have dreamed. An ode, he thinks, would be suitable; perhaps a ballad or a sonnet. Paintings all along the citadel walls. Then, when Merlin’s teeth nearly sink into the flesh of Arthur’s bottom lip, he stops thinking altogether.

Summary
“Excuse me,” a distant voice says next to them, “you’re standing right in front of the flour.”
The person sounds a little annoyed. Buck almost doesn’t hear them, with his ears ringing and all; with the taste of Eddie’s spit on his lips. Maybe it’s his nine years of being a first responder that gave him the situational awareness he needed to even notice them at all, considering.

Summary
Oh sure, reunion results in happiness, kittens, and rainbows, because that's definitely how life goes when you've just spent 70 years as a tool of villainy. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
