Bucky's gloves were stained with blood and he coldly looked past the body sitting in front of him, the last droplets of blood dripping from the gash in lifeless body's neck. He felt nothing, no remorse, no regret, no qualms about what he just did to the poor son of a bitch. Bastard didn't even hear him enter his house.

Bucky looked down at the blood pooling on the floor. He took a few steps back before the blood could reach his shoes. Bucky walked over to the sink and washed the blood from his gloved hands and knife and dried them on his jeans. He turned toward the door and was about to open it when he heard a knock. Bucky didn't care to find out who was on the other side, he quickly turned on his heels and headed towards the window. He thanked his lucky stars that it was unlocked and slid open easily. He looked back one last time at his handy work and ducked out the window unseen.

He took off his gloves and nonchalantly walked up the block and a half to his car. He slid into the drivers seat and let out a breath of air. He started his Jeep and drove towards the gym. Once there he quickly went inside to look for Steve. "I need you to be my alibi," Bucky pleaded with him, "please man, you're the reason I started doing these jobs, and you can convince everyone here to back it up. Besides it's not that hard to believe that I'm here constantly. I told Y/N that I'd be here. If you don't back me then she's going to know that I'm not at the IT job anymore and that I've been lying to her. I'm planning on doing something big and we just got engaged."

Steve smiled, "you know I got you. Congrats on the engagement." He opened the door to the office a little wider and allowed Bucky to step in. "come on. Get changed into your workout gear and head home." Bucky smiled, "thanks". Bucky and Steve stayed chatting for a bit in his office. Steve smiling at how genuinely happy you made Bucky. Bucky looked down at his watch, 11:30 pm. "I better be getting home, I don't want Y/N to worry." Steve nodded and Bucky took his leave.

Bucky quietly opened the door to the completely dark house and tiptoed in. You turned on the lamp that sat on the side table next to the recliner that you were sitting on. Bucky froze in pace. "James Buchanan Barnes, do you want to tell me why you think it's okay to waltz in here at damn near midnight?" Bucky didn't know what to do, he held up the bag of Chinese take out and sheepishly smiled. "after the gym I was hungry so I got take out and I thought you'd might like some if you were up"

You looked him up and down and smiled. "you're lucky I'm hungry. This baby has me craving food every five minutes it seems. I look like a freaking cow." Bucky smiled and said, "Doll, you don't look like a cow, you look like a goddess. Even if you looked like a cow, which you don't, but if you did, in many religions the cow is considered sacred." You looked at him and was stunned, how could he make your insecurities just disappear with a completely innocent dumb remark.

Bucky looked over to you and grabbed your hand, you stopped mid slurp of your lo mien noodle and looked over at him. He smiled and a serious look crossed his face. "doll, I need to ask you something serious," you slurped up the rest of your noodle and nodded. Bucky got up and went to his gym bag where he pulled out a folder and placed it on the table. He sat down with a sigh, "you know I love you right?" you nodded. "and you know I love the kids right?" you nodded again. "well, we are about to get married and I wanted to do something that'll involve the kids," you looked at him confused. "You can say no if you don't want to but I've been wanting to do this for a while and I figure that this is the best time to do it." He handed you the folder and you opened it. The letters stared at you as your eyes filled with tears. You looked up at Bucky, "are you serious? This isn't something that can easily be undone." Bucky nodded.
