I'm very happy with action brackets, every time I try to prose, I forget that's what I'm doing halfway through the thread and revert back to brackets because I'm so used to them...>.>
I'll go with bromance to start with, if it's all the same to you o/ I'm about as rusty at rping as bucky is at socializing, so if anything doesn't work feel free to kick me onto the right path/ignore my starter and write your own

[ nightmares are a fact of life for bucky, have been for a long time. really, the only time they stopped was when the part of him that identifies itself as "bucky" was pushed way down deep into his subconscious, battered to all hell, broken, and buried under mountains of programming, and the occasional hydra propaganda, depending on how what level of humanity any given handler decided to assign to him. in a way, it's almost comforting, to have them, they let him know he's still mostly himself, mostly in control.
but this one? this one's definitely a new one. it's not exactly worse than the others - he's not killing an innocent person in it, not ruining an economy, a country, a family, not remembering a true event - but it's not better, either.
in his dream, he stands before an eleven year old steve rogers; scrawny as he was, he could easily pass for eight. but true to form, the kid doesn't let their size difference hold him back one little bit - he glares at bucky like he's the scum of the earth, like nothing will save him from the well deserved dose of justice that's about to rain down on his head.
it's one of the shortest nightmares he has, because that look alone - the disappointment, the loathing, the disgust on his best friend's face - it's enough to have his heart racing, his adrenaline pumping, and his body waking up ready to defend himself from a lethal blow. but how do you defend against your own head? it's not a question he's ever managed to answer.
bucky pulls himself up to his feet, quiet as, well, an assassin, and walks out to the porch. it's probably not the smartest move, considering people are trying to kill them, and he knows better than anyone just how patient a sniper can be, but maybe a part of him just doesn't care. ]
