"Yeah, she messaged me earlier. And then I kinda freaked out to her." Because he certainly wasn't going to message Sam while he's spending time with his sister and nephews and he definitely wasn't about to message him to tell him that he'd maybe kinda absolutely told Bucky that he would definitely be interested in... being more than friends. "Me and my chronic foot in mouth problem."

He offers a smile. "Yeah, you can help. It's mostly done, just gotta grill 'em up." It's awkward because of course it is. Joaquin made it awkward but he's also ridiculously happy that he hasn't completely fucked it up so he can get past the awkward.

He can.

Dios mio, he's glad he didn't just do a bunch of shots.
