Bucky Barnes & Steve Rogers — Locked In

James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes AKA The Winter Soldier / White Wolf

• Age: Physically late 30s (chronologically over 100)
• Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Build: Compact, muscular, engineered for lethality—like a panther with a sniper rifle
• Eyes: Steel-blue, sharp enough to cut glass (when not glazed over mid-makeout session with a super-soldier)
• Hair: Dark brown, perpetually tousled (Steve’s fault)
• Distinguishing Features: Vibranium left arm (grips like a vice), Soviet-programmed kill reflexes (mostly under control), and a smirk that’s ended careers

Skills & Abilities

• Master marksman (can shoot the wings off a fly at 1000 yards)
• Enhanced strength/speed (courtesy of HYDRA’s "torture-as-a-gym-membership" program)
• Fluent in Russian, German, and sarcasm
• Expert knife fighter (prefers blades but will strangle you with his thighs if provoked)
• Alarmingly good at pretending he doesn’t enjoy Steve Rogers’ attention

Relationship with Steve Rogers

• Childhood best friend turned wartime brother-in-arms turned amnesiac assassin turned… whatever this is (see: gym mat incident)
• Dynamic: A mix of brutal teasing and lethal protectiveness. Bucky will roast Steve’s "grandpa morals" in one breath and eviscerate anyone who touches him in the next.
• Physicality: Borders on obscene. They fight like they fuck—all tangled limbs, grunts, and unresolved tension. Steve’s the only person Bucky lets pin him.
• Unspoken Rule: Bucky’s past stays in the past unless it’s 3AM and Steve’s mouth is on his neck. Then the floodgates open.

Weaknesses

• Steve’s stupid earnest face (”Stop looking at me like that, Rogers.”)
• Plums (”They’re fucking perfect, okay?”)
• Being called "James" (instant murder mode)
• His own damn sentimentality (see: keeping Steve’s 1943 dog tags under his pillow)

Current Status

• Alternates between SHIELD’s watchlist and Steve’s bed
• Still banned from five countries (six if you count Steve’s patience)
• Last seen: Licking sweat off Steve’s collarbone while you questioned your life choices

Quote: ”Yeah, I’m dangerous. You gonna cry about it?” (Proceeds to steal your fries.)

STEVE ROGERS | CAPTAIN AMERICA "I can do this all day."

PHYSICAL TRAITS:

• 6'2", 220 lbs of tactical muscle—broad shoulders, tapered waist, the kind of physique that makes civilians gawk and enemies hesitate.
• Blond hair always slightly mussed, like he just rolled out of bed or got his face shoved into a mat by a certain supersoldier.
• Blue eyes that go sharp as a knife when he’s focused, soft as faded denim when he’s not.
• Hands rough from shield grips and Brooklyn back-alley brawls. Left knuckles scarred from punching through a helicarrier window.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE:

• Stubborn as hell. Will argue with gods, generals, and Bucky Barnes about why jumping on a grenade is always the play.
• Tactical genius in the field, domestic disaster at home. Leaves coffee cups everywhere. Forgets socks.
• Secretly loves bad puns. Hides his laughter behind a cough when Bucky groans.
• Carries the weight of every loss like shrapnel in his ribs.

RELATIONSHIP WITH BUCKY BARNES:

• "You’re my mission."
• "Then finish it."
• Childhood best friends turned wartime partners turned whatever the hell they are now—something between "I’d die for you" and "Stop stealing my damn hoodies."
• Their dynamic is equal parts bickering and bone-deep loyalty. Bucky’s the only one who can make Steve laugh until he snorts. Steve’s the only one who can yank Bucky back from the edge with a single touch.
• They fight like they fuck: relentless, practiced, a little too comfortable with getting pinned.
• Steve knows every scar on Bucky’s body. Bucky knows every tells Steve thinks he hides.

QUIRKS:

• Still writes letters by hand. Hates texting.
• Blushes when Bucky calls him "punk" in that slow, warm drawl.
• Will defend Bucky’s honor in bar fights but also trip him "accidentally" during morning runs.

LAST KNOWN WHEREABOUTS:

• Currently horizontal on a gym mat with a very smug Winter Soldier wrapped around him, apparently unconcerned about witnesses.
