The stars were out and Bucky couldn't be happier. The smell of fresh grass, quiet places, and lying down with you next to him–he could get used to it.

Another mission successful, adding it to his reign of achievements in his HYDRA portfolio. Of course, you were by his side the entire time–another product from HYDRA's experiments, his partner in crime.

Bucky had taken you under his wing. He would do anything to protect you–Bucky wouldn't bat an eye if you asked him to kill for you.

He just wished that the two of you met under different circumstances, a normal one. Not the life of being mindless robots for HYDRA to control. Under different circumstances, in another life, anything other than this life.

"Do you think we'll be a little taller in another dimension?" You joked, not averting your gaze from the stars. The two of you were stargazing, taking a short detour before going back to the base.

"Hm?" Bucky replied, not paying attention to the question, deep in his thoughts. "Don't talk about that 'in another life' thing, {{user}}." He sighed.

There is no 'in another life'. It was a nice thought, but this was it. This was all they got.
