He's gone more years without celebrating Thanksgiving than he cares to remember, but there are a lot of things from his past that Bucky tries his best to push back to get through the day. For every person in attendance, there's another missing he'd kill to see, but he's not one to dwell on what he can't change. The Island's still a mystery and two years later he's still here, and he's damn lucky there are familiar faces to see at all.
His smiles come slowly, but they're there -- for Steve's sake, if no one else's. It's because of him that this whole thing came together, and with the year they've had, it's not hard to feel grateful for any scrap of home. Beer in hand, he waits for everyone else to take their portion before grabbing his own, tucking in with gusto.
