Yeah, sure, so long as you promise not to burn it. Rea grinned. Okay, so maybe she was teasing him. Maybe.

Cross my heart. A split second after he sent it, Bucky realized what he'd sent and turned red. Well. That had been a bit unintentional.

That made Rea grin. Oh, she liked this one. Where shall I deliver it to, then?

Bucky paused to think about that one.

Coffee shop down on sixth? Meet me there about two-ish tomorrow?

Sure thing. I can't guarantee I'll be there exactly at two, but as close as I can manage. She double-checked her calendar to be sure, since she had a workshop tomorrow. This one she was leading, to earn an extra bit of cash.

Great, see you then, Bucky replied. He would definitely make sure he was there.

Rea grinned. I look forward to it. See you then.

Bucky put his phone down, in a strangely better mood now. He hadn't been in a bad mood before, now he was just in a better one, and he grinned a bit as he turned back to the amulet he was working on.

Steve grinned when he noticed but didn't say anything, instead going to grab a cookie from the kitchen and settle in to work on some drawings for the rest of the evening.

The next morning, Bucky handed Steve an amulet before he left for class.

"Here," he said. "For peace and calm. You said that was one of the ones your ladyfriend wanted, right?"

"Right." Steve smiled. "Thanks. Should I give her your number so you two can work out what else she wants and how much? Or do you just want to use me as your gofer?"

"Steve, I would never deprive you of the opportunity to talk to a pretty girl," Bucky said, grinning. "You are more than welcome to be the gofer."

Steve rolled his eyes, but he was grinning. "Alright, alright. How much should I tell her, then?" Because he figured he might as well get things started.

Bucky considered it for a moment.

"Twenty," he said. "It didn't take me long to make, and the materials aren't all that expensive on their own."

Steve nodded. "Alright, long as that's fair," he said. "I'll ask her if she wants any others for now." He tucked the amulet away for now so he could give it to Chastity later.

"You do that," Bucky said, grinning. "Now, don't you have class? It's still Naked Week, isn't it?"

"Yes it is," Steve said, rolling his eyes. "I'm going. Jerk." But he grinned as he went to grab his things.

Bucky snickered and headed back into his room to change. He had someone to meet at the coffee shop later on.

Steve headed off to class, looking forward to it. And, if he was honest, more looking forward to coffee after class.

Chastity was there early, chatting with her modeling partner for the day. Jackson was, while (in Chastity's opinion) not as built as Steve, he was still good-looking enough for the modeling. Jackson looked over appreciatively when Steve walked in.

Steve noticed the look but didn't say anything, instead just setting up in his normal spot and then grinning at the two.

Chastity grinned back, and Jackson waggled his eyebrows at Steve. Chastity knew Jackson was something of a flirt, and he clearly thought that Steve was pretty enough to flirt with.

Steve just grinned, amused, but he didn't respond to the flirting other than that. No sense giving him hope, after all.

When the bell rang, Chastity nudged Jackson and the two confidently slid their robes off and settled into easy poses. Their poses mirrored one another, in order to illustrate the differences in male and female anatomy.

Steve actually had fun making note of the differences, figuring that it would be good to really pay attention at this point when he could and hot get hit for it. Besides, the two were clearly relaxed and enjoying themselves, and occasionally he made faces at Chastity when he caught her eye.
