[ She breathes his name and it constricts his chest, makes his heart sputter, makes his lungs feel tight. Sends a rush along his skin that he can't quite explain. His voice had been steady but his fingers shake, now, as they quite literally tie the knot.
He barely hears the words their civil servant asks him to repeat, feels like he's speaking them of his own accord as he says: ]
With this ring I promise to grow with you, to build our love, to speak openly and honestly to listen to you, and to love and cherish you for all the days ahead. From this day forward you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. With this ring, I thee wed.
[ And with every word their judge says, Bucky's heart beats a little faster, because he knows what's coming up.
Now you will feel no rain, For each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, For each of you will be warmth for the other. Now there is no loneliness for you, Now you are two persons but there is only one life before you.
You may kiss the bride.
And he does. He ducks in slowly but with purpose, hands still wrapped around hers, moving before he can think to talk himself out of it. Moving so that he doesn't get frozen in place an inch from her, moving faster than he'd have done it if it were just the two of them, but it happens nonetheless. His lips touch hers.

His heart beats twice, slow motion. He lingers. ]
