Us, Forever

The Success

The training began. Stark had removed anything he didn't want broken from the gym, giving the three super soldiers free reign. The boys didn't take it easy on her. Pushed every button they could, which resulted in things being broken and boys being thrown. It drove her up a wall, but she knew it needed to be done. The three would train for hours, only stopping to eat, drink, and sleep practically. They spent weeks training, unbothered due to Fury's orders. They needed her to have control, for her sake as much as theirs.

It took nearly two months, but they finally did it. Luna had control finally. The boys did all the tactics they could to send her spiraling into a fit of rage and none of it elicited a response from her. Smiling proudly, she stared at the two as they nodded approvingly. It felt good, like she was finally free again. A feeling that hadn't been felt in a long time. 

"Well, looks like we've done it." Steve said proudly as they walked out of the gym and to the lounge. 

"Thankfully. I was getting ready to hurl you two out the window." A chuckle escaped her lips.

"We'd just come back and do it again." Bucky grinned.

Luna rolled her eyes and Steve laughed speaking matter-of-factly, "Oh, c'mon. You know you'd enjoy it."

"Mmm, I'm not too sure."

"Well, looks like the training is finally done." Nat piped as they entered the lounge. "Well done boys. Welcome, officially, to the team. It will be nice to have another female around. The testosterone cane be... overwhelming, at times." She smirked and Luna chuckled.

"Thanks, Nat."

"The others will be arriving later tonight. We may as well throw a party and celebrate while letting Luna here get acquainted with everyone." Tony piped up as he walked into the lounge with them. 

"The.. others?" Luna questioned.

Bucky nodded, "There's a full team of us. We don't all stay here, though."

"Things can get hectic with all of us here, but it can be nice to see everyone." Steve smiled. "How long until they're here?"

"Uh," Tony checked his watch, "About 4 hours."

It was time for the party. Luna had finished getting ready when she felt the nerves running high, socializing wasn't a strong suit of hers. There was a knock on her door, before she could respond the door opened and Bucky popped his head in. He was smiling wide when suddenly his jaw dropped. Suddenly Luna became self conscious about her scarlet knee length party dress. 

"Too much?" She questioned.

"No, just perfect Doll." Bucky smiled, entering her room.

"Thanks Buck.. I feel so nervous." She sighed, shaking her hands to try and get rid of the nerves. "You know I don't do well with too many people." 

"I know, but I'll be right beside you." Luna looked at him,  appreciation in her eyes. "You'll do fine." 

"You always know how to sweet talk me, sugar." Luna teased.

"Sugar?" Buck laughed.

"What? You always call me Doll, I gotta have a nickname for you too!" 

"I like it." He grinned at her. 

"Good. Cause it's sticking." A giggle escaped her lips. 

Luna found herself staring at Bucky, taking in his features. His rugged look was better suited for him than what he looked like when they were with Hydra. She let her eyes take in his blue eyes, not noticing her breath had caught. He was cleaned up and dressed in a suit for the party, per Tony's orders no doubt, but it definitely suited him. Bucky caught her staring.

"What? Do I have something on my face? Is my bowtie crooked? Damnit, I knew this was a bad choice."

"Wh-what? Oh n-no! Bucky, you look handsome. Your bowtie is just fine. I promise. It's just..." Luna's voice trailed off. 

Bucky furrowed his brows in curiosity and stepped closer to her, his 5'9" figure almost towering over her. "Just what?"

"O-oh.. N-nothing." She stammered, backing herself into a corner, trying to avoid looking at him. 

"Doll. What is it?" He lifted her chin gently with a finger, watching her carefully.

Luna didn't know how to exactly voice what she felt, she'd wanted to tell him since back in Hydra days how she felt. Instead of speaking, she took a deep breath and she pushed herself up and pressed her lips against his, letting her arms slide over his shoulders. She let her eyes close, hoping he wouldn't reject her. To her surprise he didn't. Bucky's arms wrapped around her waist gently as he pressed into the kiss. 

"Guys, lets go, we're gonna be l-" Steve quickly cut himself off as he saw the two kissing in the corner. "Oh, my bad." 

Bucky and Luna laughed as they broke the kiss at the sound of his voice. "No, it's fine Steve." Bucky replied.

"We're coming now, Rogers." Luna felt her cheeks burning. 

"Uh, yeah. See you two down there." Steve quickly answered, leaving the room as fast as he came.

"Well, that was unexpected Doll." Bucky grinned at her, wiping her lipstick off her face where he smudged it. 

"I know, I just.. I've wanted to do that for a while. Never could until now." She smiled.

"We'll talk about that later. For now, lets go party." He chuckled as he stepped to the side, holding his arm towards the door. 

"Sounds good." She nodded, making her way downstairs with him.
