The compound was warmer than usual, resulting in me having to leave behind my preferred wardrobe of hoodies and layers. I'm in the kitchen making pancakes for breakfast, or lunch if you're a morning person, in one of my two pairs of shorts and a matching black crop top. More revealing than I'd like but I dont fancy overheating, so I'm dancing round the kitchen like an idiot to my playlist in an outfit that leaves little to the imagination.

And that is how I'm found. Now don't get me wrong, it's not the first time Nat or Tony have found me like this and it doesnt bother me much anymore. Except this isn't Nat or Tony. Its Steve and a pair of stunning steel blue eyes that feel like they're staring into my soul.

"f.r.i.d.a.y, pause the music please" Steve directs the A.I. which causes a slightly puzzled look to cross Mr. Blue eyes' face for a second. "Ellie, meet Bucky. My friend that I mentioned yesterday that'll be moving in next door to you"

This is Bucky!?! Nobody told me about him being the most attractive guy I've ever met.

"Oh... um hi? I'm Ellie, it's nice to meet you?" It comes out more of a question than me trying to be nice, thanks to my serious lack of social skills. "Sorry about the music and the OH SHIT IM SO SORRY ABOUT THE DANCING" I practically yell, my face flushing brighter than an embarrassed tomato. He saw me dancing oh god there goes my chance of making a good first impression.

A slight smile flickers across his face a he breaks eye contact for a second, taking in my body. "Its fine" and he looks behind me "oh um, I'm Bucky by the way"

The smell of my pancakes reminds me of what I was doing before I was interrupted. "Hey, you guys want any pancakes? Boomerang Boy over here knows I make the best kind" I smile, trying to ignore my shaking hands and sweaty palms from meeting someone new, especially when that someone looks like they were carved by gods.

Bucky's eyes seem to glint at the idea and he took a tiny step towards me, but Steve seemed to have other plans "no I need to give Bucky the rest of the tour and introduce him to a few others around here and get him to his room, enjoy though!" He smiled and nodded and started walking away. But the Hades equivalent stood rooted, looking at me with an unknown emotion swirling in his eyes. With a slight shake of his head and a few words mumbled silently under his breath he walks towards Steve and trails behind wordlessly.

For some reason, I found myself longing for him to stay and flip pancakes with me and dance around to whatever music he liked. Get a hold of yourself, you dont know anything about this man. Even if he could win a gold medal for the most stunning, jaw-dropping, God-like looks on Earth. You don't know him and that's dangerous, we've learnt this before.

I shake my head, throwing the voice out my head and continuing with my day as normal, or as normally as I can.

Second update already :) sorry it's a lil short but I figured if I was to publish the first on Seb's birthday I might aswell give the second. Thank you for the support so far, much love to all of you darlings <3
