[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?
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.
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.
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 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. 🩵
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.
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.
And emergency rations from Costco, which is actually a really good idea.
You're not a terrible patient. Plus, you can blame that on the drugs. he'll be happy he can mother hen you. You were still being very Joaquin, don't worry.
I just hate feeling like a burden. And I hate just sitting around. I literally just got back into everything properly and now I gotta do it all again. Because I didn't think to put a towel down. So stupid. 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.
no subject
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.

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

Moved to Florida?

Is he getting you guys on your way?
You're sweet. You were also very drugged.

He cares a lot about you.
I know you meant it.

That's not real food.
I just hate feeling like a burden.
And I hate just sitting around. I literally just got back into everything properly and now I gotta do it all again.
Because I didn't think to put a towel down.
So stupid.
Good.
no subject
But sometimes there's no time.
And it's just easier to eat in my room.
You're not a burden. No one thinks that.
Accidents happen. You'll be back in no time.
Until then, maybe we can find you other things to do.
no subject
Cook a huge batch and then freeze.
I know.
It just feels that way when I'm not even gonna be able to cut up my own food for the next however long.
Oh yeah?
Got any suggestions?
no subject
You can still cut up your food.
I lived without an arm for a couple of years in Wakanda and I figured it out.
We can hang out.
no subject
Of course you would.
I'm a delight!
If Sam'll even let me.
You're right, I'll manage.
I just hate it.
I would really like that.
no subject
You are a delight. Very much so.
He'll let you. He's not into babying.
It's not so bad, believe me.
But don't do the traveling, alright? You've done enough.
I can come to you.
no subject
Can be your afternoon delight 😏
I dunno, maybe once we're home and settled but right now...
Granted, they're on a plane, Joaquin is only two days out of surgery and guess who just took his meds?
It's not like I'm gonna fly there.
I mean.
I am.
But not ME me.
In a plane.
And I'm not even paying for it.
no subject
You can be my any time of day delight.
Seriously. Sam wants to help but he's not going to overdo it.
Just let me come over there, alright?
Please.
