Despite being one of the people that had helped the world avoiding complete annihilation about a year ago, Bucky still felt like he was on the run every time he walked out of the tower by himself. Crowds made uncomfortable, visible, exposed, almost vulnerable. So he always tried to make himself as small as possible, his eyes hidden under his cap, he made a point of honor to stand on the side of the nest of busy people and tried to avoid any bumping into anyone.
Bucky’s eyes carefully wandered around the subway platform, his eyes meeting the too many billboards and too many people who seemed to always be in a rush. Sometimes he felt like, since the war, someone had shortened the days by a few hours, which was why, nowadays, everybody was always running everywhere, bumping into each others without even looking back to see if the other person was okay. No, the world had turned into a more selfish place that it already was.
