Bucky finished taping up his hands, and checked over to Natasha to make sure, well, that he'd done it right. He'd been showed how to do it, and had to do it in class, but he still wasn't that sure, and Natasha seemed to be so much better at this sort of stuff than he was.

It was part of the reason he'd asked her to spar with him today, but-- well. It was like, a tiny, tiny part of it. Bucky just wanted time alone with the young woman who, under different circumstances, might have been his best friend for the past several years.

"I guess this is where I ask you to go easy on me because I'm a noob, right?" He gave her a half-smile.

"What, you expect me to put you through the wall with my first punch?" she teases him as she checks the job he did on her hands, then glances over his as well. He did good. Could use a little practice, but she'd be happy to give that to him here. Satisfied, she glances up at him with a crooked smile and playfully punches him in the shoulder, just barely a tap.

"Come on, Buck, show me what you got."
