"What do you think she'll do?"
"I'm not sure, Buck."
"Do you think she'll cry?"
"Probably not. She doesn't really show deep emotions like that."
"I'm sure she'll cry... I'm her favorite."
"Yeah... Okay, sweetheart."
This morning, Bucky and I are getting dressed to head over to Mary's apartment to pick up my things and surprise her with Bucky since Barron was told by Steve to not tell Mary that he was coming home and came home. I woke up better when I opened my eyes this morning and saw the correct blue eyes other than the ones from when I had my nightmare or the bare walls in the spare bedroom. I still feel off about myself standing in front of the bathroom sink in black leggings and black Vans paired with a sage green scoop neck shirred blouse that Bucky picked out or as I like to call it, 'baggy cropped blouse that is cinched at the waist and wrists that is giving me a real Aladdin feel'.
"Here, baby." Bucky speaks while walking into the bathroom with his movie chair after hearing my emotionally tired tone. "Sit."
"I can do my own hair." I reassure him in a quiet voice
"I know you can." He agrees and leans forward to grab my shoulders. "But, I wanna do your hair. Now, sit." He gently pulls me back so I sit when the back of my thighs touch the edge of the chair
"Bucky." I sigh
"Y/n." He smiles and grabs all six braids to drop them behind the back of the chair so I can actually lay back. "Beautiful thick hair. It's so gorgeous and pretty." He mumbles happily
"Just leave it, Buck." I rest my chin on my hand. "Mary will redo it tomorrow."
"You're not driving to her house just so she braids your hair." He shakes his head and grabs one of my wide tooth combs. "Let me take care of you."
"I don't like it when you say that." I look at him in the mirror where he is only dressed in sweatpants
"Why not?" He asks while lifting the end of my braid to his mouth so he can snap the tight elastic with his teeth
"Sounds like it's a job to take care of me. A chore." I shrug in a small mumbled voice
"Babydoll, I take care of you because I love you." He smiles even though I don't return it. "It is my job to keep you safe and make sure you're healthy which includes taking care of you but, I do that at my own free will." He explains and starts lightly brushing the braid out so the waves are not frizzy
"Hmm." I hum. "I love you more."
"My best girl." He mutters happily and bends down place a kiss on my cheek before going back to unraveling the tight braids
He works happy and at ease with him always mumbling different comments about how soft my hair is or how long it is or how pretty the different colors are or how wavy it is since it's tighter than the regular beach waves I always have it in. The braid starting from right above my ear is taken out and brushed while being careful not to break the waves apart too much to cause frizz but to help unravel. The braid above that is released from the twist and brushed out and every braid is given the same careful treatment until Bucky is standing behind me, raking his fingers through my hair all with a big smile.
"You are so beautiful, Y/n." Bucky compliments
"Mmm." I cross my right leg over my left and drop my head from his hands to mine to hold my chin up
"Hey." He slips his metal fingers under my hand and lifts my head up so I look into his soft blue eyes. "I would never lie to you, my doll."
"I know." I agree

Fanfic"You're staring." Bucky speaks with some insecurity in his voice "You can't blame me, Barnes." I shake my head with a smirk. "You're just a sight I don't want to look away from." I flirt and he chuckles what sounds like a sigh of relief as he walks...
