Bucky’s s/o carries around red dry erase markers and whenever just sitting around, or when he’s feeling down draws little hearts all over Bucky’s arm
the movement catches his attention without startling him from his destructive thoughts, and he can’t help but give even a weak smile at the small affectionate doodles

Bucky is always sad when he sees the hearts have rubbed off throughout the day, but now you cozy up to his side once more and draw them again, and a few kisses in between wouldn’t hurt.

The truth is Bucky’s a sucker for all things romance, though no one not even Steve will ever know (especially not Sam or Tony) he’s read every romance novel and series he’s found, some poetry and has watched every lovey dovey chick flick at least twice. Once you and Bucky got together he’d force you into marathons of the stuff with him and if anyone ever asks about it? You always end up taking the blame for him whether you like it or not.
