Mark On My Heart ~ Sequel to 'Mark Of The Star'

Part Two ~ Stake Out

"You ready to go, (Y/N)?" Nat asks you as she steps into your room. You're packing the last of the things that you'll need for the stake out into a black bag. It's the next day, and you stayed up late to make sure you understood everything about this mission. There's a suspicion on a couple that just moved into a suburban neighbourhood a few hours away from the compound, and SHIELD believes they may have ties to Hydra. You'd be staying in a house on the same street as them with Nat and Wanda, acting as University (or college) students staying together.

"Yeah, I think so. Where's Wanda?" You reply.

"Saying goodbye to Vision. They're the other two lovebirds in the house." She giggles and you grin and shake your head at her playfulness. "Speaking of, where's Bucky?"

"That's a good question." You reply. Having been too focused on packing and preparing for the mission, you actually hadn't seen him all day. I hope he didn't leave for his assignment with Steve and Sam without saying goodbye. As if she can read your mind, Nat speaks up again.

"He wouldn't have left already without saying goodbye. He's so infatuated and in love with you it makes me sick." She jokes, making you blush and giggle to yourself. With your past relationships with boys, you always seemed to doubt yourself, and if you were good enough for them. Being left without parents at a young age made you develop a fear of people leaving, or abandoning you, so the thought other people being able to see how in love with you Bucky was, was extremely reassuring for you.

"Yeah, you're right. I should probably go find him and say good luck and goodbye." You think out loud.

"No, no, you finish packing. I'll go find him." She says, trying to help out and let you finish getting ready. Nat walks out of the room, and a few minutes later, Bucky comes in.

"Hey, doll." He says lazily as he walks in the room, closing the door behind him. That nickname still gives you butterflies. He approaches you from behind and snakes his arms around your waist, resting his head on your shoulder. You blush and spin around to face him.

"Hi, Barnes." You tease, using his last name. He had come around to you using it as a nickname. He said he 'liked hearing it with your voice'. "I'm gonna miss you a lot. Hopefully I'll only be gone a few days."

"I hope so too." He replies. Bucky's mission wasn't technically a stake out, and he'd be able to come back to the compound every night, and go back to spying in the morning with Sam and Steve. "I hate sleeping by myself." He continues, lowering his voice and looking down. It broke your heart to see him sad.

"Me too, Buck, but I'll be back soon. And you'll have the rest of the team to keep you busy!" You say cheerfully, trying to make him feel better. "And, remember, Tony wanted to throw that Halloween party when we're all back, so that's something to look forward to."

Tony always threw these huge Halloween parties every year, inviting everyone he could. They were kind of renowned in New York as being exclusive, but a huge event. Everyone would always rave about how amazing and fun these parties were every year, and you definitely always looked forward to them.

"Yeah, I guess." Bucky replies and tries to force a smile. He didn't want to seem sad right before you leave. "Are you almost ready to go?"

"Yeah, I think I have everything." You reply, looking around the room to see if you forgot anything. "C'mere." You tell him, and he pulls you into a big hug.

"Stay safe, doll. Please let Fury or your brother know if anything goes wrong, and we can come and get you immediately." He worries and you sigh in relief into his shoulder. This man really did love you. A lot.

"I love you, Buck." You tell him and he grins from ear to ear. He loved hearing you say that, and he always told you that.

"I love you more, (Y/N/N)." He replies and before you can debate on who-loves-who more, he cups your cheek with his warm skin, and places his metal hand gently on your waist. He pulls you into a romantic kiss and you smile into it. You can tell he wants to deepen the kiss when his tongue brushes against your bottom lip, asking for entrance. You gladly let him take control. As things start to heat up a little more, you remember a time when Bucky was too scared to hug you or even touch you with his metal arm, too worried about hurting you. And now that same metal arm was making it's way lower down your back, his fingers gripping you tighter and begging for more. All too soon, he pulls away. You could never get enough of this man. "Hey...um, one more thing." He stutters.

"Yeah?"

"I've been meaning to ask...when you get back do you think maybe we could...go further? You know like...all the way?" He says nervously and you try and hide your excitement.

"Of course, Buck. As long as you're sure you're ready." You say smiling and he seems to relax.

"I think I'm more than ready." He flirts back, regaining his cute cockiness as his hands somehow find their way to your backside, pulling you back into him for one more kiss. You had done basically everything else with him so him being this forward with you wasn't anything new. One thing you had learnt about him, when he was 'in the mood', you'd know about it.

When he pulls away, your lips are still tingling from the amazing sensation, and your heart is fluttering with excitement. All of a sudden, there's a knock on the door.

"Ready, (Y/N/N)?" You hear Nat call out through the door.

"I guess I need to go." You say sadly, and Bucky nods slightly. He picks up your bag and opens the door for you. You both follow Nat back to the elevator, and wait for it to take you back to the main floor. Once it does, you see the rest of the team waiting to say their goodbyes, and wish you all luck. You give each and every one of them a hug and say goodbye, before your gaze meets Bucky's again, who's patiently waiting to take your bags down to the quinjet.

Everyone finishes saying goodbye to you, Nat and Wanda and then Steve, Sam and Thor help the other girls with their bags and some other tactical equipment and weapons, before we all hop in the elevator. Once you're downstairs, you see Nick Fury standing outside of the quinjet, Waiting to drop you all off at your mission. The boys place the bags into the jet, and just before you're about to say your final goodbyes to them, Bucky seems to quickly remember something.

"Wait! You forgot one more thing!" He panics then rushes back upstairs at a world-record pace. Everyone gets settled into the quinjet while you wait. He comes back after a few minutes, and hands you something. "My hoodie, in case you get lonely." He blushes, knowing the rest of the team behind you is watching and exchanging glances at each other as if to say 'awww'.

You try to stop yourself from shedding a tear by pulling him into another tight hug. You say your final goodbye with a lingering kiss, before hugging the other boys that came down too. Before you know it, the jet is in the air, and your mission has officially started. You sit down and decide to distract yourself with the thought of what you and Bucky will do when you get home.

This mission better be over in a few days. You think to yourself, smiling, before drifting off to sleep.
