Sample:

Like today.

Steve can’t even find the end of the line. Nearly everyone is complaining. Which is saying something because Natasha and Clint are really amazing at moving people along without rushing them. Steve is doing his best, really. He’s had kids crying and screaming. Some laughing and some really shy. One deaf who Clint help Steve sign with. Steve even sang Jingle Bells in French with a set of twins. Still, the line is never-ending. He still hasn’t even had his break.

Steve’s just about to wish for some aspirin when he notices someone waiting in line. Someone who might have a reason to be there only if he’s with friends’ kids, but, so far as Steve can tell, he’s alone. Bucky’s standing there among parents and kids in an ugly holiday sweater and earbuds in his ears. He’s mostly not paying attention to anything, but Steve can tell the moment he knows that he’s been spotted. The corners of his lips start to twitch. It’s tiny. Hardly noticeable, but Steve knows him so well that his belly tickles.
