Summary:

“I told my best friend that story,” Steve says after a moment, voice thick. “When we were seven years old. And he told me he’d do the same for me. And that year, when I opened my present, inside was a small wooden bird to hang on the tree.”

Bucky looks up at Steve, the little bird in his hand and Steve--well he’s smiling.

“I don’t remember,” Bucky whispers.

“I’ll tell you,” Steve says.
