Mm.
Can still hold my phone.
Among other things.

Yeah!
Wait, did I not tell you that?
Oh. I'm so dumb!
Yeah, was gonna take you to meet my abuela.

It's okay.
Just a little one.
But they had to fix it.
Gonna have another scar too.

[endof_theline]

Ok but don't wear your right hand out.

You're not dumb.
It's just not something we talked about.
Not specifically anyway.
I'd like that.

Another scar to press my lips against.

[babyfalcon]

Okay.
I won't.

Well, now you know.

[Attachment: a photo of Joaquin a few years back with an older lady.]

That's my abuela, last time I saw her.
Gotta got soon, I think.
I miss her.

Oh yeah?
Wish I could kiss you right now.
Also, you need to sign my cast.

[endof_theline]

Why haven't you gone to see her?

Thats a really sweet photo.
She seems wonderful.

I'll sign your cast and kiss that too :)

[babyfalcon]

Working, mostly.
Usually when I've got free time, I go to Miami to see my parents.

She is.
She's the best.

ALL THE KISSES!
I'm looking forward to being home.
And seeing you.
Mostly seeing you.

[endof_theline]

No siblings?

I can tell.

Now you've really got me thinking about all the kisses.
You're leaving soon so maybe you should rest up.

[babyfalcon]

No, just me.

Gonna take you as soon as I can.

It's coz they're good kisses.
Great kisses between you and me.
Nah, I can sleep on the plane!

He is absolutely drowsy and he's also stubbornly refusing to stop texting Bucky. Between recon, his injury and the surgery, it feels like too long since they've spoken.

[endof_theline]

You ever feel like you missed out?

I'm glad we waited.

They're good kisses.
I'm glad I got to kiss you. You're really good at them.

You should sleep.
You can text me as soon as you wake up, ok? I'll be here.

[Because he doesn't sleep. But that's different.]

[babyfalcon]

Nah.
I got cousins and we lived in a neighbourhood with other kids that looked like me.
So I was never alone.

Yeah?

I'll kiss you anytime you want.
All the times.

I don't wanna.
I wanna talk to you.

[endof_theline]

That's good.
Big family?
You grew up in florida?

[maybe this is too deep for high convos, but... here they are.]

Yeah.

All the time, huh? I wish.

I bet you're so sleepy though, it's ok. I'll be in your messages first thing.

[babyfalcon]

Yupppppp.
Between both sides and then all the additional not actually related fam!
Moved there when I was six.

We should book a weekend at the beach.
Just swim and be naked and do whatever we want!

Yup! All the time.

Yeah.
Had surgery so they got me on all the things.
All the drowsy things.
Promise?

[endof_theline]

Pretty great.
Moved to Florida?

Maybe.
Half naked?

You're so damn sweet.

I promise. Go to sleep, Joaquin.
Text me first thing and I'll reply.

[babyfalcon]

Mmhmm.
I was born in Mexico.

However naked you wanna be.

😘
Mkay.
Buenas noches cariño

[endof_theline]

Cant wait to go there with you.
Means even more now.

thanks ;)

Buenas noches, cariño.
Que tengas dulces sueños ❤️

[babyfalcon]

Can't wait to take you.
Should probly go to Miami too.
Mama will be jealous if abuela gets to meet you but not her.

Any time.
Though I still wanna get you naked.

🩵

The next text is a few hours later. Joaquin is definitely more sober.

Hola mi amor.
My arm fucking hurts.
But we're headed home.

[endof_theline]

I'll go wherever you want me to go.

[Oh god, really? Is that too much? Is he in too deep? He's not sure.]

Next time.
Something to look forward to I guess.

<3

[ Bucky is glad when the texting stops. It means Joaquin fell asleep. He's awake either way. This isn't gonna be one of those nights where he sleeps, but he's fine. Being awake is better than the nightmares that will follow.

When his phone buzzes again hours later, he replies either way. ]

Hola <3
Hope you have a safe flight.
I'm sorry it hurts.
No more painkillers?

[babyfalcon]

For the record, I'm gonna take you up on that.
But also, I'm totally down for just relaxing days in too.

Sam recommended waiting until we're on the flight so they'll be in their best effect for the entire flight time.
Pretty sure I've got a few bumps and bruises too.
Feel like I went a round with Isaiah.

[endof_theline]

My favorite days are in door days.

[The outside days still set him on edge a little, but he's working on it. Always working on it.]

good call. just ease into it.
Maybe watca movie?

[babyfalcon]

We can have as many indoor days as you want.
Think of all the things I can teach you to cook.

Yeah.
Sam is hovering. He's really worried.
I don't really remember seeing it but I have photos, so I clearly did.
Apparently once they got me on the drugs, I thought the whole thing was funny.
I was apparently not interested in the sling.
I'm fucking grateful for it now though.
There'd better be a good one on the plane.
But I'm hoping to mostly sleep.
We're in business to allow for more room.

[endof_theline]

I'd really like that.

Of course he is. That was probably quite a fall and he cares about you.
Doesn't know you're texting me?
You did seem overly excited about your broken arm- the drugs were pretty intense.
Lots of emojis too.

I hope you get some more sleep too.

[babyfalcon]

Soon you’ll be a pro!

I don’t really remember the fall, it happened so fast.
Probably made a lot of noise too.
Nah, he doesn’t ask.
I think I was just excited to talk to you. 🩵

[endof_theline]

Maybe I'll cook something for the rest of the team at that point.

I bet. He must've been freaked.
Is he getting you guys on your way?
You're sweet. You were also very drugged.

[babyfalcon]

Yeah? I bet they'll love that.

I mean, I don't think he was expecting to find my naked ass sprawled across the bathroom floor with a bone protruding out of my arm.
Most people would freak.
Yeah, we board shortly.
He's carrying my bags and everything.
Yeah, well, pretty sure they'd have liked to keep me a little longer but just couldn't say no to Sam's assurances that he'd make sure I rested and checked in with my doctor once I'm home.
Still meant everything I said though.

[endof_theline]

Hopefully. We're terrible eaters over there.

Yeah, of course. I just mean. You know how he gets. Really worried and protective.
He cares a lot about you.
I know you meant it.

[babyfalcon]

Ava eats spaghetti-os. Cold. Out of the can.
I know.

Yeah, I know.
I'm a terrible patient.
But I'm trying not to be too annoying.
And I'm letting him mother hen me.
Good. Don't want you thinking it was just the drugs talking.
