[action] cw: discussion of sexual topics by teenagers, forever

[makesascene]

Look, it can be gimp-y without a mask! Just- weird, cause you can see the face?! [He has no idea how gimps work exactly. He is just an incredibly dumb teenager all in all.]

All the towels are literally dirty! [For once, he was mildly innocent. A shocking turn of events.] I just wanted a towel that wasn't wet!

[action] cw: discussion of sexual topics by teenagers

[soft_shelled]

I'm pretty sure it can't, is what I'm saying. [Not that Donnie knows any better, he might be smarter than Leo but there is even stuff he's no expert on.]

Then do laundry? [He doesn't believe for a second that Leo is innocent, he knows his brother.] They can't all be wet, I mean you have one right in hand.

[makesascene]

I feel like it can be! Like- is this how he's earning money!? [He's not thrilled.]

Literally in the process of that, I just needed one real quick. Now here we are! [He finally gives up, dropping the supposed gimp suit, wiping his hands on the clean part of the towel.]

[soft_shelled]

[At that suggestion Donnie just stares at nothing, considering it before saying anything.] I would hope not.

[Now he's just going to shake his head to get rid of that thought, because gross.] So what, that was just laying on the towels or did you dig for it?

[makesascene]

This is worse than the Big Mama and dad thing- oh my goddddd. [He throws the towel aside dramatically to clutch at his face. Practically wilting on the spot.

He whips around to point at Donnie dramatically.] You try finding anything in here! He dumpster dives for EVERYTHING! Look at it!!

He probably has garbage can gimp suit!

[soft_shelled]

Is it, is it really? [Donnie is like neither can compare to the other, because totally different situations.

And he'll just flatly look at Leo.] So tell him to tidy up or something... Not that the state of his private room is anyone's business but his own.

[GOD not touching the garbage gimp suit comment, nope.]

[makesascene]

Considering he literally never unpacked any of his furniture and was living out of boxes until his breakdown, I think I can say something. [He says with a chopping gesture to go with his words.] It was full Pops on a depresso day level of living in filth, Dee!

Now its- this!?

[soft_shelled]

Oh I saw that, I am not unaware. But do you think if we brought up the dumpster diving he would stop? [Donnie has... Little faith in them having that much of an influence on Bucky, unaware of just how close Leo is to the gargoyle.]

I mean... Yeah the suit is kind of bad, but we don't know for sure if he's doing anything... Unsavoury.

[makesascene]

Maaaaybe. [Leo is now fidgeting around, trying to not actively touch the suit. He does not want to even be near it anymore, but- look at it.] He's stubborn about not wasting stuff, but- we can actually get things now!

I can't believe he's a gimp, oh my goddddd.

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, it's not like we're back home. [Where dumpster diving and raiding junk yards was the norm for them. He'll look down at the suit and just, with a foot kind of try to kick it away so it's hidden again.]

And you don't know that for sure. I mean yeah he's got the suit but there has to be a reason for it.

[buckybbarnes]

[It wasn't like the boys weren't allowed in his room. Bucky genuinely didn't mind them coming or going at any point, as long as they left the room darkening curtains alone when he was in there. He liked being available any time they needed him.

That didn't make it less weird to come back in from grocery shopping and discover the two of them in front of his closet, seemingly horrified over something.]

If this is about the box of harpy feathers, I've got plans for those, [was all he finally said, still holding a couple shopping bags.]

[makesascene]

[It was inevitable Bucky would return, but Leo startles a little at his return anyway, whipping around to face the confused gargoyle.]

Wait, feathers-? [That just throws Leo off even worse.]

We literally found your gimp suit! That is way worse than feathers!

[soft_shelled]

[Donnie is also startled a little by Bucky showing up, as he also turns to look at the gargoyle... And Leo's got the feathers thing kind of covered, so he is just going to be brave and...

Reach down to pick up the so called "gimp" suit to hold up for all to see and say nothing. Just look judgingly at Bucky.]

[buckybbarnes]

[None of this really answered the question for Bucky, who looked at the suit, then back at the boys, raising an eyebrow.]

That's my old HYDRA uniform. What the hell is a gimp suit?

[makesascene]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, waaaiiiiiiiiiiit- [Leo is waving his claws around wildly as the gears are turning in his head.] Those people who kidnapped you for decades made you put on a gimp suit!?

You were forcibly gimped!? Assassin gimp!?

[soft_shelled]

[Okay Donnie is... Trying to keep a serious face, especially with Leo's reaction but with what Bucky says well...]

So it's a tactical uniform, not a gimp suit.

[Someone needs to be the voice of reason here!]

[buckybbarnes]

It's mostly kevlar and leather so it's really bullet resistant. It doesn't exactly fit me anymore but I figured it couldn't hurt to keep hold of it in case there was ever a use for it.

[Bucky seems to think the whole thing is perfectly ordinary, even though his voice is still clearly confused.]

Seriously what is a gimp suit?

[makesascene]

[Leo doesn't seem completely convinced, wrinkling his snout.] What if he was a tactical gimp...

[He sighs a little.] Its people who dress in all black shiny clothes with belts to like, get stepped on. Its a human thing.

[Best Explanation Ever.]

[soft_shelled]

I don't think there is such a thing, Leo.

[At his brother's explanation, Donnie has to resist laughing because oh boy that is... Something, not that he knows a better way to explain it. He's just going to keep holding out the tactical suit, only with less of an "ew" air about him with it.]

[buckybbarnes]

That...that doesn't sound like a human thing at all.

[Still, Bucky didn't seem terribly bothered, just stepping forward and putting down the shopping bags on the end of his finally-built bed, then reaching out to take the suit from Donnie, turning to tuck it back into the closet amongst the rest of the chaos.]

Or at least if it is a human thing, it's not one I know about, so, no, this isn't for...whatever that is. It was to keep me mostly intact while I killed people.

[makesascene]

Its suuuper a human thing. Thankfully, none of us are human here, so we're off the hook. [Absolutely folding Bucky into their family? Yes. Don't @ him.]

I'm glad it not a gimp suit, but- its sure weird they put you in like strappy leather thing. It doesn't look very protective at all?

[soft_shelled]

[Maybe a little glad to have the suit taken from him, instead just going to shuffle over to look at the groceries. And don't mind the face he makes at Leo just folding Bucky into the fam, mostly just to make a face then out of any protest. He has come to accept the gargoyle as one of them, after all.]

He did say it's made of kevlar, Leo. That's bullet-resistant material.

[Just casually talking about that kind of thing is way easier than other topics.]

[buckybbarnes]

[Fairly ordinary groceries for the most part. Some favorite snacks, some vegetables and ingredients for cooking. A bag of what looks like dried lemon slices. Though there is some peculiar meat wrapped up in brown paper that isn't immediately recognizable at the same time.]

They put me in different outfits depending on what...use I was needed for at the time. This one was close combat. Smaller arms fire. Either way, even before I got here, I wasn't human, to begin with, so those...human things still didn't apply.

[makesascene]

I guessss- still. Weird. [He shrugs a little back at his twin.] Also creepy they like dressed you up for different stuff.

[That leaves Leo a little at loss. His attention is on Bucky, so he's unaware of Unidentified Meat in the bag.] Huh, I thought you were human before-? I mean, you looked human back in Felfri?

[soft_shelled]

[Oooo, snacks. Donnie is totally going to help himself to some of that, taking note of the Unidentified Meat but not calling attention to that. Instead focused on having snack instead.]

It makes sense to though, the different uniforms I mean.

[And he has no idea what Bucky was like in Felfri, so just going to open the snack he has snuck out of the groceries and starts eating it. Om nom nom.]
