Bucky chuckled at the remark Steve just said, taking a drag from his cigarette. It's a thing they both do while in the tower. They always stand on their own balconies and catch up.
He was about to speak when the balcony door slid open.
A sleepy " Babe?" came from the doorway.
Bucky turned his head to glance over his shoulder, and he smiled at the sight that greeted him.
A half asleep, Peter, wearing only his large henley, was slowly stumbling his way over. Only one eye partly cracked open to see the other still closed. Peter moves stand behind Bucky and presses his face into his back, wrapping both his arms around his waist.

Bucky points at Steve after putting his cigarette out.
" Not a word."
