Cinnamon girl- bucky barnes

Bucky was already overwhelmed by your stunning face and personality; the thought of you in a revealing swimsuit was too much to bare.

He was planning on staying the rest of the day in his room; that was until it was already afternoon and he hadn't ate since last night.

Maybe he could sneak down and grab something quickly? God, he felt like such a wuss. All this effort over a small girl.

"Buck?" a voice called, bringing him out of his thoughts.

Steve stepped into view, a small tan visible on his cheeks.

Looks like he's been having fun outside.

"Hey man." Bucky said, trying to be casual.

Steve was grabbing a pair of swim shorts from his dresser to change into.

"What are you doing up here?" Steve asked.

"I'm just... not feeling good." he lied.

"Do you want some medicine?" Steve asked, clueless.

"No no, it's okay. I'll come down."

fuck.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Steve asked.

"Yeah man. I'm good. Just a headache."

Steve might be oblivious sometimes, but he wasn't stupid. He knew something was definitely up with him.

"Okay I won't pry. But uh, everyone is swimming. The pool here is ginormous. You should join when you're feeling better." Steve said, grabbing a towel from his bathroom.

"Sounds fun." Bucky flashed a unconvincing smile.

Steve nodded awkwardly and walked out.

Fuck. Now Bucky really didn't have a choice.

He really didn't want to have to talk to you while you were wearing a swimsuit. He couldn't handle that.

He also didn't feel super comfortable around the rest of the team hanging out so casually.

He felt like they didn't really like him.

Tony especially, since Tony thought Bucky was the soldier who killed his parents. He wasn't. Tony knows that now; but Bucky couldn't help but feel like their was tension between them.

So Bucky came up with a plan.

1. Get to kitchen, eat something.

2. Go outside and immediately go sit with Steve.

3. If I can't find Steve, sit with Sam.

4. If I can't find Sam, sit with Nat.

5. If i can't find Nat, abort mission.

6. And most importantly; avoid her at all costs.

He threw on his only pair of swim shorts along with a t-shirt and made his way to the main floor.

He knew there was a door that lead to the pool and patio on the main floor. As he got closer he could hear the sound of water splashing and indistinct talking.

While Bucky was jumping through mental hoops, you sat on the stairs in the pool talking to Peter.

Thor and Clint were playing monkey in the middle with Bruce in the deep end.

Natasha sat on a lawn chair with a scowl on her face as she played lifeguard.

Wanda was laughing at something vision said as she assisted him grilling burgers.
