Finally... it's the day before the gala. You're sitting at your desk as everyone filters out slowly over time. You're finishing off the story to pitch to J after the weekend. Eventually, you're the last one there other than J. Even he looks like he's preparing to leave when you look at the time. You begin to pack up your things as he walks past.

JJJ
"Have fun tomorrow y/n, not too much though."

He gives you a slight smile as he tilts his head down. You can't help but feel a slight wave of worry. Like your job, and friendship with Bucky aren't compatible. Everybody wants to know about him. Who he is, is he dangerous? Is he Sam's sidekick? How does the arm work? Etc. To be honest, covering the flag-smashers story was slightly uncomfortable because you wrote about him and Sam so much.

You follow him out and grab a taxi home, all the while thinking about your conflict of interest... and whether you should actually be going tomorrow.
