what if Bucky doesn’t even know how many languages he knows

and at some point he and Steve are out in the city and Bucky laughs softly at some grandma telling her grandkids that she used to walk to school barefoot, uphill both ways, until her mom bought her a dinosaur, or whatever grannies around the world are fabricating to make their grandkids go NUH UH NO YOU DINT these days, basically the whole point of becoming a grandparent is to troll your kids’ kids am I right? but anyway the point is: Bucky kinda smiles to himself, almost laughs out loud, and Steve is like “what are you laughing at?”

and Bucky’s just like, ahh that old lady over there is really pulling her grandkids’ legs

and Steve stares for a second

Buck, that lady is–I don’t even know what language that is, actually

and Bucky blinks and says, after a pause, “Me neither.”
