The Winter Princess

I want you

You woke up wrapped in his arms. The coldness of the metal against your skin but you didn't care, it was perfect. You rolled over to face him, he was still asleep, you didn't dare move, in case you woke him. You just stared at his face. Last night, it was good, but you can't help think you took it too far, would this be the end of your friendship, or the start of something even better. You get lost in your trail of thought, only to get snapped out of it by Bucky, he placed a gentle kiss on your head, you smiled. "Morning sleepyhead" you tease. He laughs and pulls you closer to him.

After a while you decide to get out of bed, get changed and go downstairs. "Bucky, we kicked my bags off the bed last night and everything is everywhere" you say, staring at the floor, covered in your belongings. "I'll clean it up baby" he responded, it made your chest fill up with butterflies. "Baby?" You question.

"You don't like it" he responds, sitting up to face you.
"No, I love it" you finish, walking over placing a kiss on his lips. He smiles as he watched you walk into the bathroom.

Once you finished in the shower you walked out in a towel to see Bucky still in bed "you are lazy Buck" he just laughs, you walk into your wardrobe and pick out a pair of jeans, a long sleeved, stripy, black and white turtle neck and an oversized grey tee. You pulled your hair back into a ponytail and walked downstairs for food. Not many people were awake at the time. "So, you and Bucky" you hear, turning around at the speed of light to see Sam stood confrontationally "What?" You decide to play it dumb, you and Bucky really hadn't spoken about what you were and you didn't know who you wanted to know, "First off, he wasn't in his room last night, second, you weren't quiet, and last nights game of truth and dare" he had it all figured out, he knew, lying would be pointless. "OK, fine, we did, but don't tell anyone" you say before walking off with your bolw of cereal.

"Sam knows" you say, dropping yourself on the bed, expertly not spilling any cereal. "Huh?" He responds, he either didn't hear or was surprised. "He already knew apparently, it was obvious to him, he just needed someone to confirm it." You say back.

"Oh ok, by the way, what are we?" His tone changed suddenly, he was serious, it was strange, you had only seen this side of him a few times. "Um I'm not sure" you respond, you hadn't put.much thought to it, i mean it only started being a 'thing' last night. "What do you want to be?" He questions.

"I'm not sure, if I'm honest I've never put thought to it."

"I don't want to ruin our friendship but I want you".

"Me too, was it just a one night stand or was it more, could it ever be more?"

"Whats that supposed to mean?" He seemed upset by your comment.

"I don't know, I've never done this, a relationship. I don't want to hurt you, you're too food to be hurt, especially by me. I'm asking, do you move on as friends or more?"

He didn't say anything, instead just stormed out of your room.

I fucked up. I should have just splayed with him, it would have been best. I messed up, its on me. I can't follow him, that seems desperate, and he seems angry.
