( from here )

Sounds like you're just too chicken to take me up on the bet, Barnes.

[ Yep, the gloves are coming off. Already. ]

[polarstare]

easy there, rogers- I’M not the one who won’t even admit to stealing, here.

besides, what would i even get when i win this bet of yours? i’m already down a slice of pie.

[ “when,” ]

[assembles]

Stealing? The pie was left in my fridge.

If you win the bet, I could just get you a whole new pie that's only for you. I won't touch it. Seem fair?

[polarstare]

[ he's pretty sure all things belonging to steve are, therefore (by some law of friendship or whatever) things belonging to him, too.

no that does not go the other way around for the sake of this argument only- ]

seems fair. but only if you bake it yourself.

since i'm not going to lose, i guess i shouldn't ask what you'd get if you win?

[ BUT... ]

[assembles]

I'm not sure you want that, Buck.

[ Steve would give it his all, but he's not the best in the kitchen. Which is something Bucky knows all too well. ]

No point in counting me out just yet. If I win, we go to that sushi place I keep telling you about, your treat.

[polarstare]

yeah, but it would feel like much more of a win than you just grabbing something from a bakery

[ it is no longer just about the pie... it is about the principle of the thing... or something. and watching steve struggle in the kitchen admittedly sounds like a fun time to him, as long as he's not actually concerned about the pie at the end of it. ]

i guess i could handle that.

alright, any other crimes you want to confess to before i leave you on read?

[ no he's not saying where he learned that phrase, ]

[assembles]

I guess I can see your point. All right, well, you asked for it...

Not that I'm actually going to lose the bet. Just so we're clear on that.

[ Steve might have called Bucky out on his attempts to adjust to the slang of the current age if he didn't find it kind of endearing. And really, he knows how obnoxious it can be when everyone around you is giving you a pat on the back for something like that. ]

Nope, don't think so. You know me, squeaky clean record.

[ Uh huh. ]

[polarstare]

right, squeaky clean.

[ and while he definitely doesn't have the high ground, here, he can't help but point them out because somehow steve's crimes (bar the pie theft) give him a kind of fond thrill- when they aren't, you know, giving him a heart attack. ]

other than stealing pie, a really just, uncountable number of vehicles, your own stuff, somehow- and that's just theft.

sorry, was i supposed to just agree with you?

[ he is not sorry at all. and also may be stalling having to actually ignore him, maybe, ]

but okay. guess i'll start now.

[ Steve is very doubtful that Bucky can go long at all without responding to him, and while he isn't going to push too hard yet, he also isn't going to let Bucky get the last word here. ]

I borrowed the cars, I didn't steal them. That's totally different.

And you can't steal your own stuff. That makes no sense. I was just getting it back.

[ Squeaky clean record, Buck!! And they're absolutely not discussing Bucky's record at all, because this is supposed to be good fun. ]

[polarstare]

[ he manages to ignore these messages, hoping that the little "read" mark shows up on steve's end (since he definitely purposefully did not pay attention when someone tried to tell him where to turn that on or off, as one does). it is hard, though, because he really wants to ask how many "borrowed" cars steve has actually returned.

a little while later an idea comes to him and he messages sam to ask if texting even counts as "speaking," and when that fails, whether a picture message counts as "speaking"-

then when that fails, decides to completely ignore that entire conversation.

why'd he think asking sam would help, anyway.

later than that, he tests his luck by sending a message containing only a picture: a certain cereal box in a shopping cart. ]
