[ And he does feel fine, in fact. Bucky actually looks fresher than she does: the cuts and nicks on his skin have healed, and the conspicuous beginning to a bruise that should've worsened today has faded instead. That accelerated healing putting in the work overnight, his body already starting to laboriously piece itself back together while he rested. He won't be regrowing limbs anytime soon, but like how his metabolism is annoyingly sped-up, so is his recovery time.
He's half-burrowed into her spare pillow. Facing her, Bucky finds one last surviving piece of popcorn between them, and he smirks and tosses it out of the bed. There's something so oddly domestic about this whole scene, so there should probably be a riotous panic behind his ribcage at the fact that he'd spent the night with someone for the first time in— ages— but he just feels a kind of queasy happiness instead. Nerves fluttering in his chest, where they haven't taken root in so long. ]
