When you're dancing by yourself, I completely fall to pieces

Nick was quiet, at peace for once... so used to being alone that someone near, a presence of warmth seemed to be a calming influence on him. His cheek laid against Bucky's shoulder lightly, and he barely stirred, rubbing it across... his lips to his neck as he let out a breath. It could almost be a sigh.

He felt himself chuckle at those sleepy nuzzles, and he gave the man a squeeze. "Are you awake, sweetness?"

"Bastard." His eyes remained shut, arms slowly stretching out. "Mm.. don't call me that." Soft blue blinked up at him and Nick smiled briefly before reality came crashing and he leant back a little... unsure.

"Oh, yeah? Then what should I call you? Lamb chop? Muffin?" He pressed a couple playful kisses to the man, a grin on his face. "So, how did you sleep?" Bucky himself had slept pretty well, given the circumstances.

"Aw, no!" he waved over his head as he moved past him, sarcasm seeping from his tone as he added, "bein kept out from that prison I'm trapped in! I'm in agony."

He'd do one better, he thought. If Cass got even one of the messages she would give some sort of discreet signal. He wasn't coming back at all, even with Bucky's saying so. Fuck that. he wanted a damn good reason, answers!

"Prison? Have you not always been free to come and go as you please? Have I ever locked you up or forced you to stay? You can't even begin to comprehend what it is to be a prisoner. You shouldn't toss around words you don't understand." It was very clear from his low and deadly tone that Nick had struck a nerve. Having been a German prisonor of war, he'd faced some of the worst treatment it was possible to face. The two situations didn't even begin to compare.

"Are you gonna leave me alone or not." He challenged him, his eyes sharp and cutting as his tone. If he had hackles, they would be sky-high raised right now.

His own eyes narrowed. "Yeah, I'll leave you alone. Christ, to think I ever could've wanted such an insensitive and entitled little bitch. Thanks for reminding me why I don't let myself get attached."
