Those Ocean Eyes and That Charming Smile

044

After I got my magic back, I spent the next thirty minutes running around the living room and kitchen with my regained speed and strength that had me lifting many objects that all weighed different amounts while completely ignoring Bucky who kept running after me like a parent trying to catch their runaway toddler and taking the items out of my hand just for me to pick up another one where Bucky was also like a parent trying to disarm their strong gripped toddler.

"Baby, can you slow down, please?" Bucky laughs while running after me

I ignore him and all of his attempts as I run down the hallway and back to the kitchen after picking up some scrap metal in the lab that Tony let me rummage through. I only make it to island, ready to pick up the blender full of melted smoothie when Bucky eventually wraps his arms around my waist and picks me up after he caught up to me. I laugh and try to push out of his hold but still only having one hand makes it hard and before you ask, yes I still have to keep the stupid sling on until everything is healed but that's the least of my worries now that I have my magic back and can forget about the 'normal' way of living that doesn't include teleportation or telekinesis.

"Bucky, put me down!" I laugh out

"I need you to slow down, Y/n." Bucky chuckles and sets me on the ground but keeps his hands on my waist

"Okay, I will." I look up at him with a smile. "Just let me go, I got things to do." 

"Like what?" He smiles down at me knowing I have nothing planned for today except for playing with my magic

"Like packing your bags so we can leave in the next hour." Sam interrupts us before I can say anything as he now walks into the kitchen with Steve following behind and looking excited

"What?" I ask when my smile falls into confusion and my head snaps to Sam's who wears a smile while looking at Bucky

"Not much time left or they'll get upset." Steve also has a small smile as he looks between the two of us but I look up at Bucky who has a neutral expression on his face. "You know how they are." He adds

"We can't go this year." Bucky eventually says and it's only confusing me further when I feel like this is the conversation that we had before Thor showed up

"What?" I finally ask and look at the three of them. "What's going on? Why is Bucky leaving?" I frown

"I'm not leaving, baby." He reassures me with a kiss on the top of my head

"Every year, the three of us go to Sarah's house for Halloween." Steve answers with a smile. "And yes, you are leaving." He tells Bucky

"Steve, I can't le-" Bucky starts

"Your sister?" I cut him off and look at Sam who smiles

"We go for Halloween and Thanksgiving and stay around a week, sometimes more." Sam nods happily. "The team and Sarah agreed that she would have Halloween and Thanksgiving on the day if the team had Christmas and New Years on the day."

"So, you guys go to her house after the holidays you don't have?" I assume

"If it works out like that which it has only four years so I doubt it will work this year." He shrugs and isn't disappointed. "And we are totally going this year." He crosses his arms over his chest and looks at Bucky

"Sam, I can't leave Y/n by herself." Bucky replies sternly. "How is she going to take care of herself?" He rhetorically asks

"Hey." I cut in and look up at him. "I still have one arm and can take care of myself. I also have Natasha." I shrug a little disappointed that he's leaving and he says nothing when he sees the saddened glint in my eyes and moves his hands to my hips to tug me against his body and looks back up at Sam and Steve
