*Your POV*
You wake up and roll over, seeing an empty space beside you. Bucky must be in the gym with Steve. You lay in bed on your phone for a little bit, before a reminder pops up about your early morning meeting with the team. You groan quietly to yourself as you really would rather stay in bed, then decide you should probably get up and get ready. Hopping out of bed and heading towards the shower, you tie your hair up lazily so it doesn't get wet, and turn the water on. You get undressed, but just as you're about to get in, you hear a gentle knock on your on-suite door, that you share with Bucky. He pushes it open and smirks in your direction.
"Room for one more?" He teases and you roll your eyes playfully.
"But you're sweatyyy," You whine. It's evident how hard he's worked in the gym today, like every other day. He seems to push himself twice as hard when he works out with Steve, they definitely motivate each other and push each other. I guess that's expected, both of them being used to intense army training.
"Pleaseee?" He whines back, giving you his best puppy dog eyes. "I'm gonna be late for the meeting if I don't hop in with you."
"Okay, okay, fine." You give up. You can never say no to his puppy dog eyes. He grins widely and steps into the bathroom as you get into the shower. He steps in behind you a moment later, kissing the back of your head, before bringing his lips down to the space in-between your neck and your shoulder. You can tell there's no sexual intention behind it, he just loved these intimate moments alone with you.
Living with the rest of the team has always been really fun. Being an Avenger and Tony Stark's younger sister doesn't leave you a lot of time to make friends, so the team was your family and your best friends all in one. It also doesn't give you much privacy with Bucky, so moments like these meant a lot to the both of you.
After washing yourself, you get out of the shower and let Bucky finish. You dry yourself and walk back into your bedroom to pick out an outfit for the day.
You don't have much planned for today so you go with something comfy. Just after you finish getting dressed, Bucky comes out of the bathroom. You try not to stare but you can't help it, he looks incredible. He's in nothing but a towel, which is hanging low enough on his waist for you to have something to think about if the meeting gets boring. His hair is wet from being washed, and you can't help your mind running a bit wild when he reaches up and runs his hand through it to slick it back out of his face, a stray strand falling down onto his forehead as he does so."You okay, doll?" He asks you, snapping you out of your trance.
"Uh, yeah." You smile back, walking over to him and placing your hand on his muscly chest before reaching up to kiss him gently on the lips. He smiles into the kiss and wraps his arms around your lower back, pulling you closer to him. His metal arm is still warm from the shower, sending goosebumps all over.
"Miss Stark and Mr. Barnes, Mr. Roger's would like the remind the team of the meeting in 5 minutes." You hear Friday's soft voice, snapping you and Bucky out of your romantic moment. You giggle to yourselves, finish getting ready, and head to the meeting.
"Morning, lovebirds!" Natasha teases as she sees you and Bucky walk into the meeting room, hand-in-hand. 'Lovebirds' seemed to be everyone's favourite nickname for you, not that you minded it. When you walk into the room you see Thor, Clint, Nat, Sam, Wanda, Vision, Bruce and Peter, who always seemed to arrive at least 20 minutes before the meeting started, which you and the girls found adorable.
"Trust Tony to request a meeting at the ass-crack of the morning and still be late." You joke as you and Bucky take a seat, making the others almost fall off of theirs from laugher. Peter can't help but chuckle a little, as hard as he tries not to. He respects Tony a lot, and wouldn't want to disrespect him in any way.
"I heard that, (Y/N/N)." Tony smirks and uses your nickname as he walks in, followed closely by Steve who takes a seat next to Bucky. "Okay. Let's get started."
The meeting starts off with the successes of the last few missions, taking down hidden Hydra bases. You have to admit, you were really proud of the part you played in how well the last few missions have gone, and you found yourself looking forward to future missions.
"...Here are this weeks assignments," You zone back in and catch the end of your brothers sentence, and wait for your briefs to be explained. "Bucky, Steve and Sam, I need you to keep an eye on a building we've had intel about. It shouldn't take long, maybe a day or two." Steve, Sam and Bucky nod their heads and Tony hands them their folders with all the missions information in it. You listen to everyone else's briefs, patiently wait for Tony to say your name and give you your assignment. "...And lastly, Natasha, Wanda and (Y/N), I need you to stake out a house and collect information on the people living in it. We think they may be connected to Hydra." He finishes, and Tony hands you your folder, as well as one each to Nat and Wanda.
You're pretty excited for a mission with the girls. They are by far your closest friends in the world, and although you definitely remain professional on assignments with them, it can be pretty fun, and you know they love it too.
The meeting concludes and everyone files out of the room to study their assignments. You head to the kitchen where you see Steve making breakfast for Sam and Bucky. You tactically place yourself at the kitchen island to read your file, hoping to get in on Steve's breakfast. Sam notices what you're doing and chuckles a little under his breath, making you do the same. Steve turns around from the stove and looks at the both of you as Sam takes a seat with his mission portfolio, next to you at the island.
"What?" Steve asks innocently, wondering why you and Sam were laughing. You both try to hide your smile by looking down at your files, and Steve shrugs and turns back around, making you and Sam quietly laugh again. Bucky walks over, already buried in his file. He takes a sip of his coffee and kisses your temple before sitting down on the other side of you. You start reading your file and getting ready for the mission.
