The Winter Princess

i love you

Once Happy had got back in the car he started to drive, except he had turned around.

"Hey Happy, where are we going?" You eagerly questioned. He chose not to answer, just continues to drive.

After a while the car stopped, you peered out your window, the compound, "No Happy, I can't be here, they don't want me here." He laughs and nudges you forward.

You hesitantly walk through the front doors, only to be greeted by everyone, except Bucky. "Hello y/n, sorry about before, I didn't mean to push you away, your powers are stronger than all of ours except Wanda." Tony says, you smile at him, "It's fine Tony" you respond.

You take a few more steps in to feel a familiar grasp around your waist, "welcome home doll" You twist in his arms to see Bucky, happier than ever, you lean forward and place a soft kiss on his lips. "Buck, I've been gone for like an hour and a half" You tell him.

"And I'm not allowed to miss you?"

"I didn't say that." You say, before he pulls away.

You greet everyone once more and head to the car to grab your bags, where Bucky had already loaded his arms full. You laugh at his antics whilst watching him struggle into the house.

~~~

All your bags were packed away and dinner had been devoured, you and Bucky were relaxing in your bed, "When you left, I was so upset. I can't imagine my days without you y/n" He says, you feel his eyes fall on you, you catch a glimpse of his strong gaze as he leans in closer, "the thought of leaving you just broke me Buck, I need you" you respond, he clips his finger under your chin and directs your head into a gentle yet passionate kiss. "I love you" you murmured, it was surprisingly the first time you had ever said it to him, "I love you too y/n" he responded, before wrapping his arms around you.

You need up falling asleep in his arms, slowly getting used to the cold metal against your almost bare back.
