[ because he's bored, because you're tolerant of him badgering you, because a lot of things, here's a text at ass o'clock at night, at some point when he can't sleep. ]
[ he's as awake as you are, andyr. howls is asleep at the foot of his bed but it doesn't matter. he looks over the message and feels something in his chest tighten. andyr doesn't mean harm, he knows.
and it's why he answers almost immediately. simple, matter-of fact. ]
younger me did too, if you can believe that [ if you think he talks a lot now, you should've been around for 17 year old him ]
passed a mirror and realized i needed to shave. made me think of you.
[ not really, he's just being a shit. he thinks about everyone here probably more than he ought to, honestly. but yes, he is looking at his fish. he'd been hoping the aquarium room would help him sleep. ]
[ not that bucky minds. he likes it, it gives him something else to focus on, someone to pay attention to. he hates being trapped in his own head all the time. ]
[ so, chatting. it'd been one of the few things to keep him sane back when he lived in a cell most of his time. chat at his sister through the door. at the guards. over what texts he was allowed to send. even if it wasn't pleasant talk, at least it was something. ]
[ it's peaceful here. not that he doesn't like his room, and feel comfortable with nick and cassie around. it's just difficult to sleep some times, and rather than wake them up with a scream or something breaking, he'd rather stay up and listen to the filters, and watch the fish.
he's a bit surprised that bucky wants to come along, but not opposed to it. ]
