What's that? I can't hear you. I'm deaf. Oh, poor me. Deaf and blind. Boo hoo. However will I manage?

[He shot Bucky a quick pout, but then he turned back before he ruined it with a grin. The back and forth over their disabilities was part of what made him like Bucky so much. That he didn't pull his punches in that regard.]

I'm still breathing. Can't be that bad.

[counterstep]

See? It's talk like that gettin' me all worried. Breathing ain't where the bar's at.

( but he's smiling anyway, the way matt joked back bringing a warm, familiar comfort. there were few he could be so candid with, especially in the way of humor, and they both tended to share a similar brand. )

Guess I'll have to check those ears of yours, too. ( voice dipping to a whisper, a secret to himself and still audible to matt, ) Wouldn't want you hearing me touching myself from the other room, now would I?

[lawyerbyday]

Um, excuse you, but that is exactly what we'd want me to be hearing.

[Wow, Bucky. Such disrespect. Matt won't tolerate it. He stepped back, intentionally trying to bump into him.]

Talk like that and maybe I'll just have to figure out a way to take video of some of the things I get up to while you're gone and send it to you.

[counterstep]

Oh, no, I'm terrified to witness such scandalous things with my virgin eyes. ( the words were flat, exaggerated by bucky's usual dry humor. a cracked grin accented the end, the soldier unable to keep his amusement contained. )

Though, really, I can't pretend it won't be amusing to see your filmographic composition, seeing as you—

Or not seeing as you anything.

( get it? because you're blind, matt. )

[lawyerbyday]

I'd get help. Foggy would help me set up a camera aimed at where I wanted it aimed at. Especially if I told him it was for something perverted. He's good to me like that.

[Foggy thought Matt was way dirtier than he was, so if he could help out with some of it, it'd make him feel accomplished. Matt could kill three birds with one stone. Don't make him get Foggy involved, Bucky. He would.]

[counterstep]

Oh, but that would be cheating, no? It wouldn't really be your hard work I'd be appreciating. And as we know, I quite enjoy having the whole of you rather than just a part.

( something about the words seem to indicate bucky might be speaking of another matter entirely. hm. )

[lawyerbyday]

Well, if you're going to be a tease in another room, I need to level the playing field. That, or just come in and take what I want.

[The rooftops were clear at this time of night, so it was a quiet, peaceful trek back towards Matt's.]

[counterstep]

( or at least as quiet and peaceful as their filthy conversation could afford with little else going on. )

Now, I don't recall saying anything about how you shouldn't do such a thing, Mister Daredevil.

[lawyerbyday]

[That had his ears, and horns, perking up. He moved so he was walking alongside Bucky, shoving his shoulder with his own, then shaking his head.]

And I thought I was bad. You're setting yourself up to get ravaged, Barnes.

[counterstep]

Maybe I wanna be. ( his fingers dipped out slightly, knocking against matt's playfully. ) Maybe there's someone I trust with that.

[lawyerbyday]

[His heart definitely sped up at that, and he licked his lips, cocking his head to the side as he 'looked' over at Bucky.]

Really? Because that, ah, can be arranged.

[With how uncomfortable his pants were, that could be arranged right now.]

[counterstep]

Thought we were heading home first, mm?

( not that he's really pushing one way or the other with the words. )

[lawyerbyday]

James Buchanan Barnes, you are making it very hard for me to think of anything but putting my mouth on you. So either hustle it up and beat me home, or run the risk of me getting your pants off out here.

[counterstep]

Is that a promise?

( he knew he was cutting it close, baiting matt like this. but he also couldn't help himself. )

[lawyerbyday]

[Matt stopped where he was, head cocked as he paid full attention to Bucky. He licked his lips, then gave him a wolfish smile.]

1...

[counterstep]

( a beat. two. )

Oh, shit— ( but he was laughing as he nearly yelped with surprise and bolted ahead. )

[lawyerbyday]

Two!

[He was bouncing on the balls of his feet, barely restraining himself, but knowing that he had to give him a fair shot. Between the super serum and Matt's erection, the man would likely beat him home, but with how desperately he wanted him, it was a genuine coin flip.]

[counterstep]

( the fancy thing was that the serum really added more to bucky's repertoire than matt likely realized, pausing as headed toward an edge facing the street. he tossed a quick glance in matt's direction, a smirk tugging against his cheek, before charging forward as he had earlier when catching the bat and leaping across the street entirely. it wasn't quite the same as dashing down a straight, even road at eighty miles per hour, but he surely could use the advantage, with the rooftops covered with obstacles matt had a much easier time maneuvering around, lithe as he was. that was two more rooftops matt would have to take. at least, assuming he didn't follow directly after. )

[lawyerbyday]

Fuck.

[But that said, as three, he took off after Bucky. Though, his route was going to be the more winding, rooftop way, since he wasn't planning on curtailing tonight by going splat against the asphalt. He'd never live it down. Daredevil, brought down by dick-brain.

But he ran on the balls of his feet, sprinting and taking the route that ran parallel while still knowing where both of them were headed. His place. Part of him wanted to try to beat him there, but knowing Bucky, he'd take off somewhere and Matt would have to hunt him down.]

[counterstep]

( it was a far different thrill than that on a mission, and still his heart thudded hard in his ears, cheeks aching with private amusement at the whole silliness of things. little doubt that this was a proper challenge between the both of them, who would reach their target first, but the reality of how it had come about remained absurd even as it endeared.

being trained for hefty athletics rather than speed, bucky was definitely slower than matt, especially with the other man running in parallel and leaping over half of the things in bucky's way. jumping across really did seem to have been the wiser choice, at least in terms of winning. (not that bucky was really losing, either way.) )

[lawyerbyday]

[He kept track of where Bucky was and what was in his way in relation to where their target was. That rooftop was coming up sooner than later, and he leaped across to land with a tuck and roll, then carried on, vaulting over a pile of debris and doing what might seem to be an absurd amount of aerial flips and jumps to get from point A to point B, but... well. Bucky had commented about it once, so now clearly Matt's primal brain had woven that into his idea of a mating dance.

Goddammit, he was an idiot. But he was closing that gap.]

[counterstep]

( out of his periphery, he caught matt's movements, leaping and jumping, flipping about like some kinda trapeze artist and making it looks so natural the soldier couldn't help but feel a little envious even as his heart beat that little bit harder witnessing it.

it was distracting, and the gap was quickly closing. as a final attempt to charge ahead, he bolts forward to throw himself across to matt's rooftop once he's near enough to try. rather than land smoothly again on his feet, bucky instead ends up in a roll to keep himself from slamming into the concrete top of matt's roof. a shame, really, that matt would likely catch him now when he was so close to his own goal.

but it had still been fun, and he was still grinning like an idiot, trying not to laugh about how silly this all was. )

[lawyerbyday]

[Matt's heart tripped when Bucky didn't land solidly, but he was rolling and up on his feet quickly enough, and that just spurred Matt on to head right for him, aiming a tackle at the man before he got to the door access to his apartment. Like hell was he going to let him win. And technically, they were home. So this was clearly a safe place to do exactly what he'd promised.]

[counterstep]

( the tackle downed him easily, bucky tripping forward and landing against the ground with a whump, catching himself with his arms as he went to keep from slamming face-first into the ground. despite the loss and impact, he started laughing as he rolled over in defeat. )

Damnit.

[lawyerbyday]

[He was laughing himself, breathless, panting, but he crawled up until he could pin Bucky down. Well, until Bucky let him pin him down. He straddled his hips, hands pulling his gloves off, then reaching up to pull his helmet off. There was sweat on his face from the confined space, but he was smiling, leaning down and holding Bucky's cheek, using that hold to guide him so he could kiss him.]

You're in for it now, Barnes.
