You don’t see stars in Norfolk, England, not like back home, the goddamned soup of the clouds hiding them away like it hides targets and flack and goddamned lurking messerschmitts, but it’s not so bad from the ground. He can’t mind too much, sitting in the bed of a truck with Bucky, trying to squint through it and pick them out, the not quite familiar shape of them.
It’s nothing like taking Marge out stargazing in high school, this is all elbows and ribbing instead of hand holding, but it’s also exactly the same. It’s not like he can’t tell Bucky isn’t looking at the stars just the same as she never really did, even if neither one of them is going to do anything about it.
