[ By this point the addition of extra bruises from hitting the floor won't even make a difference; Matt's pretty sure he's permanently black and blue now, and Foggy's starting to talk about suing the building owner for hazardous stair construction. He's stopped unbuttoning his collar at work now too, and this is the reason why.
And despite all of the bruises and sore muscles and utter exhaustion Bucky can drive him to, Matt loves it. He's in better form than he's ever been, he takes fewer hits when he's out getting into actual fights, and although he has an aggressive way of showing it, there's something about the way Bucky approaches the training that tells Matt he genuinely wants Matt to excel.
This isn't the first time Matt's left a sparring session in need of a cold shower. But the way that knee is snugged right up between his thighs doesn't give him much deniability. And the thing is, he can hear the subtle difference in Bucky's heartbeat. Matt isn't the only one affected by the workout.
He closes his eyes for a second, swallowing hard against the weight on his throat. ]
