Sam is hasty but not careless in getting his clothes back onto himself, making sure he looks pristine and not like he just gave his first time away to a palace guard in a wild and fast fuck in the hedge maze.
Someone on the edge of the maze is calling his name. Sam takes a breath, then hesitates. Takes Bucky's face in hand and kisses him again, sweet and gentle as a promise they both know neither of them can keep.
"Thank you, Sergeant Barnes. I won't forget this, not ever."
And he leaves with one final, longing glance over his shoulder. Wishes he could stay. Wishes he could invite James to his bed again, to learn more, to give more, to feel more. Wishes he could revisit fantasies of marrying for love and affection. And then he's gone, calling out to whoever is looking for him. Stops being Sam, the young man who needed a kind touch, and is once again Prince Samuel, who will marry a man he feels disgust for in order to secure peace for his people.
