bucky shook his head, trying his hardest to tune sam out. his lips were chapped, his feet hurt and he was starting to get hungry.
❝what's going on in that cyborg brain of yours?❞ sam's teasing voice took over the calming rustling of the fall leaves.
❝you don't want to know,❞ bucky nearly hissed back at his friend. mostly unintentionally, of course.
you glanced up, squinting at the bright greyness of the sky. it was an overall gloomy day, and the air was cool as you three walked down the vacant road. the dull colours of green, red, yellow and orange surrounded you. it didn't feel like autumn back in washington. but, it'll do for now.
sam's vivid suit stood out among the scenery.
your uniform was starting to feel uncomfortable. you had been in it all day, and your day wasn't even close to being over. the leather rubbed against your dry skin.
❝oh yeah, i can see it working.❞ sam said with a growing smile. you could only close your eyes, knowing how much bucky dispised being teased when he was in a bad mood. ❝gears turning. oh, they're malfunctioning! they're on fire!❞
❝god, i hate you.❞ bucky drawled, looking up at the road they walked on.
you glanced at the two men, opening your mouth to speak. after a moment, you closed it and the three of you walked in silence.
as you listened to the damp patter of all of your boots against the pavement, you felt bucky's metal hand gently wrap around your gloved one. upon contact, you glanced up at him with curious eyes.
he had a warm smile on his lips; opposite of what he wore seconds ago. ❝i could never hate you though, Y/N.❞
your gasp quickly turned into a smile and you blushed. ❝you flatter me too much, james.❞
he loved it when you called him by his first name. only you.
❝hold on a second,❞ sam's voice chimed in and you saw bucky's smile drop again. ❝when did this happen? and, were you guys planning on telling me soon?❞
he gestured across his body towards the two of you. you felt bucky squeeze your hand reassuringly. he gave sam his first glance in a long time, ❝it's none of your business.❞
❝like, right after we left wakanda.❞ you blurted out after, leaning forward to smile at sam. you knew bucky liked to keep his life as private as he could, but it felt good to brag a little.
glancing up at bucky, you quickly did a half-hop to plant a quick kiss on his cheek. ❝and i am loving every second of it.❞
