[ What had started out as a funny joke (mostly) has maybe turned into a bizarre money sink to a seamstress followed by a very uncomfortable walk to Wade's house. Are corsets this uncomfortable for women? Who knows! All Bucky's sure of is that you're not supposed to wear them with jeans and a hoodie. That's what he's wearing, though, and on a day he's reasonably sure is close enough to Wade's birthday, too. Network snooping only gets a guy so far, apparently.
When he knocks on Wade's door, he's got the hoodie zipped up. Can't ruin a good surprise, right? Also if Wade has company, he'd rather not get caught like that by some poor, innocent person. ]
[ When Wade answers the door it's hard to tell if he'd been sleeping or if he'd has his mask on with the way his short hair is sticking up and to the side pretty awkwardly. He looks pretty alert though, so it was probably the mask causing it. He's not in his suit, instead he's in civvies, a black hoodie and a pair of black sweats.
And yes, that is Yentl playing in the background... let him live. ]
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to kill whoever told you that.
[ He steps aside, opening the door a bit wider. Cable's... Somewhere. Wade's pretty sure he isn't in the house... Though he's not the guy's dad. ... God, there's a thought... He sure as fuck hopes not. Note to self: research the movie genealogy and threaten Ryan Reynolds. ]
[ Yeah so he's going to completely forget why he even came here and walk past Wade into the house because he grew up on musicals and while a lot of people have been educating him on all the pop culture he's missed, the rest of his friends here haven't really caught him up on musicals in particular, which is a shame. ]
[ Wade blinks, not sure if he's more surprised by Bucky's interest in a musical or the fact that he's hunting down the source like a blood-hound. He follows Bucky, moving past him to grab the remote off the couch where he left it. ]
Yeah, Yentl. Musically the building blocks to Frozen. It's a little bit after your time... I think. Were you... Y'know, grr arghing [ He makes a stabbing motion with the remote like he's holding a knife. ] in the early 80s?
I wasn't exactly watching movies in the 80s. A lot of my friends here have been trying to catch me up, but I don't think any of them realize how big musicals were when I was growing up.
[ Hell, Bucky has a few memories rattling around of seeing silent films as a young kid. Musicals were a big deal in the 30s. ]
[ Wade opens his mouth like he's going to even begin to try to explain Yentl, before he just nods to the couch and hits a few buttons to start the movie over. ] A little Jewish girl in 1904 who wants to learn and has to dress up as a boy to do so. There's a lot of singing and gender confusion. Also Barbra Streisand. It's basically Jewish Mulan.
[ Wade eyes him, like he's expecting Bucky to bail. ]
[ Bucky just looks amused. All in all, this is a pretty good reaction. ]
I told you it would be weird. Definitely in my top ten worst ideas and I ate a cigarette once, so the bar wasn't low.
[ He moves back over to Wade. ]
Come on, though. Get me out of this so I can watch a musical with you. I can only make so many jokes about the word boning before I remember that it's digging into me in about half a dozen places.
[ Wade gold-fishes a few times, mouth just opening and closing like he's forgotten all human languages he's ever learned. ]
Weird is definitely not what I'd go with. Also not top ten worst because I'm pretty sure this just skyrocketed to one of my top ten best days ever. And I don't mean to gloat but one time I had a fortune cookie tell me I'd meet an alien.
[ Sorry, wait, give him a second he's trying to memorize this for future very important references. ]
You can never have too many jokes about boning.
[ RIGHT. FOCUS. HIS EYES ARE UP THERE. ]
Yeah, okay, yeah.
[ Why did no one tell him the Winter Solider was the coolest one? ]
[ Shrugging out of the hood, Bucky just chuckles gently. ]
I didn't think you'd really be that into this.
[ Not that it bothers Bucky. He used to be pretty comfortable with attention when he was younger, even if it had only been from women back then. At least that's all he'd been aware of. ]
[ He takes on a mock offended expression and tone. ]
Um, excuse the fuck out of you, why wouldn't I be?
[ Have you met him Bucky? ]
Does this mean I can cross "got Bucky Barnes out of his clothes" off my bucket list?
[ Was that actually on his bucket list? It's a mystery. (Probably.)
He waits a moment, making sure he's allowed into the other dude's space before he's reaching out to try to find how to undo the corset. Forgive him if he seems a bit hesitant like he's expecting a big metal karate chop or something. ]
Getting me out of my clothes used to be easier than this.
[ There's definitely no sign of aggression from Bucky. He's a lot more comfortable than he used to be, even if he's still hyper-aware. Besides, Wade is his friend and he won't argue that Wade isn't a weird guy sometimes, but he's also a good guy and someone Bucky honestly trusts. ]

Help you out of --[ Oh and Bucky's unzipping things... ] I'll have you know I'm -- wha?
[ Oh, oh no, he's just gonna stare for a minute, looking like his brain took the fastest train out of the city and left him behind.
If loading bars were a thing people got, there'd be one above his head, stuck probably at 69%. ]
I don't mean to alarm you but are you aware you have a corset on?
