Chapter 4

After what happened, Rosie and Bucky didn't talk. It was 12 am, both Bucky and Rosie stayed in their rooms, Rosie was pretty sure Bucky had fallen asleep. She kept her fairy lights on and got off her double sized bed, she made her way to her door, she opened it quietly because she didn't wanna wake Bucky up. She snuck to the kitchen 

"Oh!" Bucky yelled from the living room, continuing to curse. Rosie held in her laughs as she went to go check on him 

"Buck? You okay?" She asked, still trying to hold in her laughs 

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just stubbed my foot, thats all" Bucky said, she chuckled quietly 

"What's funny?" He asked

"Nothing. I'm going back to my room, good luck with that" She said, she turned around and went back to her room, not bothering to get something from the kitchen. She stayed in her room reading her book, Milk and Honey. She was reading for about 15 minutes when Bucky knocked on her door 

"Yeah?" Rosie said, Bucky opened the door 

"Hi" He said

"Hi, how's your foot?" She joked 

"Real funny" He said as he sat in her bed

"Cap told us to go over there tomorrow. I came to tell you that if you wanted to tell him about....what happened in the kitchen, you can. But only if you want too" Bucky said

"Why do you say it like that? How hard is it to say kiss? It's not like it's a sin" Rosie said

"I guess it's not. It's just really hard to think it actually happened." Bucky said, his head facing the floor 

"Why is it hard to think it happened? It's not like you have feelings for me, right?" Rosie said

"I dunno. It just is" Said Bucky 

"It's because you like Nat huh?" Rosie said

"No, it's not that" Bucky said

"Right, correct my words, you Love Nat," Rosie joked 

"You joke too much" Bucky said

"I know. You should try it, it's fun" Rosie said, Bucky gave her a blank stare 

"I do joke" He said

"Since when?" She asked

"I dunno, i know i joke, ask Steve" Bucky said 

"I don't think you joke, buck" Rosie said 

"Well, if I don't joke enough then let's here your jokes" Bucky said, Rosie examined Bucky, looking for something to joke about, she smiled 

"It's the greasy hair for me" She joked 

"Wh- what kind of humour is that, exactly?" Bucky asked

"Gen Z humor" Rosie answered

"Your not Gen Z, last time I checked" Bucky said

"Your just old" Rosie joked, Bucky gave her a blank stare again 

"This is yours right?" Bucky asked, picking up Rosies brush 

"Yup." She said, he started brushing out his hair with it

"Bucky" Rosie said 

"What, Sharing is caring. I'm sharing my greasy hair with you" Bucky said 

"No, your doing it wrong" She said, she took the brush from Bucky 

"It's better to brush it like this. It doesn't get your hair knotted as bad" Rosie said as she started brushing out his hair 

"Okay, okay, i got it" Bucky said, taking the brush back 

"And who said you could use my brush?" Rosie asked

"Me." Bucky answered 

"Well in that case, you can keep it" Rosie said 

"Well then I don't want it" Bucky said

"That sucks, doesn't it?" Rosie asked sarcastically 

"It does. Anything else you wanna give me?" Bucky asked 

"Not really, oh! You can have this, it might help one day" Rosie asked handing him a book 

"What's this? Why are you giving me this?" Bucky asked

"Whatdya want? A pawpatrol puzzle?" She joked 

"I think your trying to tell me I'm dumb" Bucky said 

"Look the book works!" Rosie cheered 

"Oh Shut up" Bucky said, Rosie held her hands over her heart 

"That really hurt, Bucky" Rosie said 

"Really?" Bucky asked 

"No" Rosie said, she laughed after 

"Is there anything that can hurt your feelings?" Bucky asked

"There called feel goods, Bucky" Rosie said 

"What are feel goods, what the heck is that?" Bucky asked

"Exactly what they sound like" Rosie said

"A sweet spot?" Bucky guessed, Rosie broke out laughing 

"Not a sweet spot. Emotions, it's another word for emotions. You better get to reading that book, Buck" Rosie said

"Im not reading this" Bucky said 

"What do you wanna do then?" Rosie asked

"What's your sweet spot?" Bucky asked, Rosie began choking 

"Your joking?" She asked, he stayed quiet 

"I am not going to tell you that" Rosie said 

"I'll tell you mine of you tell me yours" Bucky said 

"What? No, why would I do that?" Rosie asked 

"I'm negotiating with you." He said 

"...No." Rosie said firmly 

"Okay, mine is-" Bucky said, Rosie hit him with a pillow before he could finish 

"I said I don't wanna hear it" She said 

"Im telling you openly" He said 

"I don't care. I don't wanna hear it" Rosie said 

"My Jaw" He said quickly 

"Your jaw?" Rosie asked, he nodded. Rosie started laughing 

"Your joking, right?" She asked, he shook his head 

"Oh no, your serious" She said 

"What's yours?" He asked 

"I said I wouldn't tell you" She said
