Married to the Job (BUCKY BARNES×OC)

Chapter 3

Bucky woke Evelyn late in the evening, peppering her face with kisses, his hands tracing over her body. She hummed in contentment and sighed out his name. 

Her eyes didn't open but she was awake. 

"Let's go get something to eat, baby doll," Bucky placed a kiss to her nose and Evelyn let out a giggle. 

"I don't want to leave this bed," Evelyn stretched with a groan, her muscles sore. 

"Did I hurt you?" Bucky sat up away from her, full of concern. 

"Only in the best ways," She sat up, holding the blanket against her chest. "Give me ten minutes and we'll go. Can we go to that pizza place we like?" 

"Whatever you want sweetheart," She cringed a little at the endearment but played it off quickly. 

They dressed and since the rain was gone the pair decided to walk to their favorite pizza place down the block. 

"Are we okay?" Bucky asked her as they walked hand in hand. 

"Yeah, I just need to," Evelyn sighed softly, "I think we need some rules." 

"Rules?" Bucky looked at her with furrowed eyebrows. 

"I think I'm just confused," Evelyn shrugged. "I'm confused about what is us and what's them." 

"Them as in?" Bucky questioned. 

"The Soldier and the princess persona," She said like it was the simplest explanation. 

"I don't know if there is a difference," Bucky told her honestly. "I treat you the same way I would normally." 

Evelyn blinked at him and stopped walking. 

"Evie, I told you, if you're my girl, you're my girl," Bucky pulled her softly to start walking again, "But if you need me to do something different I can." 

"I just, I guess I need to know you want me, Agent Evelyn Shaw, not Princess Sweetheart that's ditzy and honestly seems a little easy," Evelyn laughed a little at herself. 

"Evelyn Shaw," This time Bucky stopped. He put his hands on her cheeks and pulled her in for a deep kiss. "I want the kickass, eyes and ears partner I have. I want the knife wielding, tiny little agent who scares me a little." 

They arrived at the pizza place and quickly found a table. Bucky held her hands on the table while they waited for their food and she just looked at him. 

Evelyn was sure she was in love with him now. She had been fighting her feelings for him before this mission but the way they are with each other, the close quarters, and they just got along so well. They were perfect for each other. But this day, this day proved that it was love and not just a passing fancy. 

They spent the night not worrying about Pierce or the Power Broker. They were just two people, on a date, happy. 

Friday 

Wanda made contact and planned to come over for dinner. Sam had returned from his recon mission and Evelyn and Bucky were meant to meet with Sharon the next day. They were cutting it close. 

Evelyn worked on dinner while Bucky went over some things with Wanda. While he looked over the debrief from Sam, Wanda went to the kitchen to help Evelyn. 

"You guys are so married," Wanda laughed, pointing to Evelyn's apron she wore. 

"Well," Evelyn fiddled with the ring on her finger before she moved to pull dinner out of the oven. 

"Oh my god," Wanda lowered her voice, "You had sex." 

"No I didn't," Evelyn said way too defensively.
