This is Steve. Leave a message.

No. I'm fine. [Nothing broken, nothing that won't heal.] How are you? What happened while I was gone?

[He is pretty sure it is a lie. Steve isn't always fine. Suzaku has seen him not fine before.]

I'm sorry I worried you. I was worried about you as well.
swordofzero: (distance)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2022-05-22 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
And I cannot die. But that does not stop you worrying over me.

[He knows Steve isn't always okay. And broken bones were only one of the hurts that could happen here.

Often the punishment to their minds was worse.]

[What to even say to that? He knows the lengths of what can be suffered, with no relief of death but saying so would only make Steve feel worse.

So he lies. It comes so naturally that he should be concerned. But often it is necessary.]


It was nothing so bad. It was mostly just isolation, so I am glad to be back here.

Thank you. [Steve was always far too kind to him. He pauses, wondering whether he should make an excuse. But... He's not injured enough that Steve will be able to tell just from looking at him and he had been truthful about one part, it was the isolation that had been the worst.

And that was the part pushing for him to take up Steve's offer. The part of him that had led him to letting Steve know he had returned in the first place.]


It will be nice to see you.

I don't really have a favourite food.

[Food was very much a means to an end. Not that he didn't like food, it was just something... Something.

Having preferences was really difficult.]

[That sounds mildly threatening.

But steak and potatoes sounded good.]


Thank you. I'll be there soon.

Action

[personal profile] swordofzero 2022-06-16 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Thank you.

[It doesn't take long, he knows the way to Steve's room well by now and he knocks politely on the door before stepping inside as instructed.]

Steve?
swordofzero: (I'm not crazy ALL the time)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2022-06-20 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was used to Steve's flat by now, so he made his way to the kitchen with ease, surprised at how much was already prepared.

Maybe he shouldn't be surprised, it was Steve after all. He washed his hands silently and made his way over.]


What do you want me to do first?

[He does well with clear instructions, outside of that cooking is a mystery still.]
swordofzero: (determiny)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2022-06-27 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. [He could do both and he found the bread and a knife with ease, he was used to Steve's home by now. It was still a strange feeling, but not a bad thing.]

Is it just us two? Or shall I set a place for Bucky as well.
swordofzero: (determiny)

[personal profile] swordofzero 2022-07-03 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
He lives here. [So it was only natural he would eat here.

Suzaku always felt slightly awkward around Bucky, who was far too nice to him considering everything. But he nodded, not sure what to think about Bucky being told he had thought about him.

He was quiet as he set up the table, luckily he's eaten at Steve's before so knows how it is done here. Far less formal than any time he had to set a table before he came to hell.]

[Ah it seemed he had trod on something complicated. He doesn't ask, just obeys and sits down as he lays the last pieces of cutlery down.

His posture is perfect as always, sitting rigid at the table, watching Steve as he begins to bring the food over.]
