Summary:

On the other side is Barton, with a dog—since when is there a dog in the tower?—on a purple leash, who grins at him like they’re friends, when in reality they’ve spoken maybe sixty words to each other, total, and five sixths of those were probably Barton speaking at Bucky and garnering no response.

“You should come for a walk with me and Lucky,” Barton tells him, still grinning at him.

Author's Note: Releasing this into the world as a chapter fic because I've been keeping it close since January and I really want to share it. I have about three more chapters already written, and it... might... be winding down? Will probably update every couple of weeks, maybe more frequently as summer hits.
