It was a stupid lie.
One that Sam thought would be funny and harmless and okay, maybe a little cruel, but harmless regardless.
It was supposed to be harmless.
Because Bucky never smiled like that. Never looked so happy.
And Sam noticed it.
He noticed it the morning they had to leave for Germany.
"Plane's all loaded. Tony said he'll meet us in Berlin. Everyone ready?"
Clint groaned, "We've been ready since your five a.m. wake up call, Rogers."
"Why was that necessary again?" Natasha asked.
Steve narrowed his eyes, "You know why."
"We're not always late, Steve. Cut us some slack and Clint - Clint don't you dare take my spot. This is like Moscow all over again —"
Sam zoned them out because he noticed Bucky standing there. Right by the door with his hands twitching and he knew something was up.
Something that involved a really pretty girl, dragging herself in all late with heavy, sleepy eyes. You looked like you hadn't slept all night and something about it made Sam want to laugh.
He didn't though.
He couldn't.
Not when you dropped your head on Bucky's chest like that.
Sam watched as his hands stopped twitching.
"'m so tired."
"Yeah? Maybe you shouldn't have stayed up so late watching those reruns," Bucky pointed out.
You grumbled something and Bucky laughed.
"I got her bag, man." Sam interrupted.
Bucky looked over at him and nodded.
"I got her," he quickly said, without thinking. "Got you, right, Y/N?"
"Mhm. Got me, Buck."
Bucky smiled and Sam noticed that smile didn't move from his face for a long time. A good twenty minutes. He didn't know why he was paying attention to them so much. Maybe because he knew something was there. Something good was there between them and Sam liked when his friends had good things.
Even if those good things came during a ten hour plane ride.
"Alright, so Fury set us up in this hotel across the club. Tony said it gets pretty crazy around there, so going undercover will be no problem. However, we do need to watch out for these guys," Steve handed out some profiles. "Ex-assassins. Pretty intense. Last Fury heard of 'em they were in Chicago doing some high intel work for —"
