Newbie (Bucky x Reader)

Romance isn't dead

You were surprised when you saw that Bucky was heading back to the airport. You looked over at him curiously when you saw the quinn jet waiting for you both.
"What's going on?" you looked at him, biting your bottom lip.
"We are going on a trip for a few hours" Bucky chuckled. "Clint is waiting for us" he updated you.
"You're not answering my question" you giggled.
"Once you are on the jet, you can take off your jewelry and the mask" he evaded the question again. "We are having a romantic date, as ourselves"
"What about the paparazzi?" you looked at him as he parked the car.
"I'm not worried about it, you shouldn't either" he got out and went to open your door. You got out and followed him to the jet as the back opened up. Clint stood there and hugged you as you got to him.
"Good to see you kid" Clint smiled at you, and headed to the pilot seat while you started taking off your rings and your mask and put them in your purse. You saw Bucky do the same thing, but put it into a box that was set to the side. "Alright lovebirds, strap in" Clint called back, and you sat down and put on your seatbelt. Bucky sat right next to you and did the same, and winked at you.
"Where are we headed?" you asked Clint purposely.
"You'll see. Bucky set it up and told me I'm not allowed to give you any hints" Clint chuckled. Bucky took your hand and kissed your knuckles.
"What's with all the secrecy?" you asked, looking at Bucky pointedly.
"You've surprised me with dates before. Let me spoil you for a day" Bucky whispered to you. "I have a few confessions to make today" he warned you.
"What kind of confessions?" you looked at him, feeling anxiety pull at you.
"I'll tell you in time" he smirked and held your hand.
"Are they the kind of confessions I should be worried about?" you looked at him worriedly. You felt like you wanted to be sick all of the sudden with worry.
"No doll, there's nothing to worry about" Bucky shook his head.
"Bucky..." you trailed off looking at him.
"Stop worrying" he gave a smile. "Just enjoy our date"
"Fine. How is everyone Clint?" you looked over, still feeling anxiety in your stomach.
"Everyone is doing just fine. We all miss you two" Clint seemed to take a moment to choose his words. "How is the mission going?"
"I think Ron next door is the one in charge of trafficking weapons. He bugged our house, and his wife complains that he spends most of his time in the basement. I'm looking forward to doing a little recon on his house when the two of them are out" you looked over with a soft smile.
"I was thinking Ron too. Especially since the bar-b-que. His wife doesn't seem to know what all he's up to. She seems too innocent. Ron seems to be keeping a lot to himself. Besides, I don't really like him" Bucky admitted.
"You don't like a lot of people" Clint called back.
"Bucky's right though, I'm pretty sure we are going to find something in his garage or basement" you mentioned quickly.
"Well, the quicker you figure it out the quicker you two can come home" Clint smiled.
"They are done our suite" Bucky looked at you with a smirk.
"How would you know?" you looked at him quickly. He flushed and looked away. "Bucky?" you asked gently.
"I didn't go to work today, I was at the compound" he took a few minutes before admitting it.
"Without me?" you looked at him surprised.
"I had something I had to do, a mission of sorts" Bucky seemed to be choosing his words carefully. "Everyone seems to be doing well" he spoke softly. "Rest your head back for a bit until we get where we are going"
"I'm not resting, I want to know more about this mission" you shook your head.
"You will know more about it by the end of the day" he sighed. "Just relax doll"
"How can I relax when you've been going on missions without me, while I thought you were at work?" you looked at him.
"Today was the only day I wasn't at the shop besides Monday. I swear" he looked at you seriously.
"You have so much explaining to do" you sighed.
"Told you, you should have kept her in the loop" Clint called back.
"Not helping man" Bucky looked at him.
"What loop?" you looked at Bucky again.
"Just let me surprise you" Bucky sighed. "That's all that today is about"

The jet landed about an hour later, and Clint unbuckled himself and smiled at both of you.
"You don't want to be late" he got up and went to one of the lockers and pulled out your red lace dress with white satin as the underlayer, and a pair of black stilettoes. He brought out your jewelry box from the top, and brought it all over to you. "I'll wait outside" he opened the back hatch, and walked out while Bucky closed it back up again. You looked to Bucky with questions in your eyes, and you took out your necklace that Bucky had bought you, and a pair of the white rose earrings quickly putting them on. He started putting on a tie, and smirked as you quickly got changed.
"What is this?" you finally asked.
"It's a date" Bucky grinned and checked his red tie in the mirror. You went and checked your makeup and Bucky zipped up the back of your dress before you slipped on your shoes.
"Where are we?" you finally asked.
"You'll see" he smirked and opened up the back hatch. You walked out and saw you were back home, but the Shield facility. "This is where I first met you" he took your hand, while your other hand held your purse.
"I remember" you giggled and saw Clint ran back into the jet and closed the hatch again. Bucky led you through the facility towards where your apartment was, that you knew your father had kept for you. He stopped in front of your door, while you were still trying to figure out what was going on. You tried the knob and saw the door was open and walked in. Maria stood there with a huge smile on her face and she squealed running to you. You let out a squeal and threw your arms around her.
"You look fantastic, we miss you so much" she kissed your cheek.
"Hey sexy legs" Sam came out from your bedroom.
"What's going on babe?" you finally asked.
"You need this" she handed you a piece of paper and you looked at it. It said "The place we first met". You looked at it curiously. "You have a schedule to keep, I just needed to see you" Maria kissed your cheek again.
"I still don't get it" you looked at her.
"You'll get there" she gave you a slap on the butt and Bucky stood at the door with a smile.
"Do you remember the first day we met?" Bucky asked you as you took his arm again, and he started leading you towards the door.
"Yes, you didn't say anything at first. You kept looking at me" you giggled.
"I was in shock, you were the last thing I expected" he opened the door to the parking lot and you saw a limo waiting. "I'm one hell of a lucky man"
"I'm one lucky dame" you smiled as he opened the back of the limo. You saw that Happy was driving the limo. "Happy!" you exclaimed.
"I'm just on loan" he called back. "We miss you" he winked through the mirror.
"Where are we going?" you asked quickly.
"You'll see" Happy closed the window between you. You looked to Bucky who wrapped his arm around you.
"What's going on, what's with all the secrecy?" you demanded with a smile.
"I knew you missed Maria" he grinned. "There's a reason for everything today"
"Where are we going now?" you looked at him excitedly.
"You'll see" Bucky chuckled and you looked out the window.

Happy parked in front of Baci's, the restaurant that you had gone to the night you first met Bucky. He got out and opened the back door for you both to get out. You stopped to give Happy a quick hug, and he kissed you on top of your head.
"I'll see you kids when you come out" Happy chuckled. Bucky took your arm and led you into the restaurant. You saw the place was empty, which you had never experienced in the two times you came in.
"James Barnes, right this way" the waitress was waiting at the door for you both. She led you to the table that you had reserved the last time. Bucky pulled out your chair, and you looked down to see another notecard that said "Where our journey should have started". As soon as she left you looked at Bucky with so many questions in your eyes.
"Bucky bear, what's going on?" you leaned forward, and he took your hand and kissed your knuckles.
"Its our date" he grinned. "I wanted for us to have a date where its just us, no masks, no codes, just us"
"What's with the notecards?" you asked.
"Keep them, they are part of the surprise" he chuckled at the look on your face. You put this one in your purse too. You looked at the note cards and saw on the back of them the words "You" and "Me". It was like a puzzle you couldn't quite put together.
"Your drinks" the waitress came back with a beer for Bucky, and a wine glass for you.
"I can't drink" you started to correct her.
"Its apple juice" she gave a smile and set it down in front of you.
"I already ordered everything ahead of time" Bucky grinned at you proudly, holding your hand. He kissed your knuckles again keeping his gaze on yours. You saw a few flashes from the corner of your eyes, and saw Pietro and Peter trying to keep their distance. You smiled and waved at both of them, and they seemed embarrassed they were caught.
"Get over here" you stood up and they came over for a brief hug each. "What are you two doing here?"
"Taking pictures" Pietro grinned. "You'll see them later princessa"
"We promised Mr. Barnes not to get caught" Peter admitted while Bucky looked over with an amused smile on his face.
"I didn't think it would work out" Bucky chuckled. "Its okay boys. Happy is outside, why don't you go have something to eat. We are still waiting on our meals"
"Sure, we will sneak back in and get a few more" Pietro winked to Bucky before zooming out of the room. You saw Peter quickly followed, when the lights dimmed and you heard "At Last" by Etta James come on and Bucky stood up and held a hand out expectantly.
"You remembered" you smiled at him.
"The first time you tried to tell me you loved me" he pulled out a note card and handed it to you, and it had a question mark on the back, with the same words he just said to you on the front. He pulled you close to him as he started to dance with you. You laid your head against his chest and gave a soft sigh as he easily maneuvered you around. He put you in a few dips and turns as the song progressed, and as it ended, he leaned down and brushed his lips against yours softly. You leaned more into him, and he seemed to happily deepen the kiss. You sighed happily as his tongue rubbed expertly against yours and ran your hands through his hair. He let out a small moan at the same time as you and he pulled you closer to his body. You were enjoying the full body contact and pressed yourself more into him.
"Dinner is served" the waitress said with flourish and you pulled back with a blush on your cheeks. Bucky grinned at you, and you looked at the table to see two lasagna's, and a large slice of tiramisu.
"You've thought of everything Sarge" you giggled as he led you back to the table.
"Anything for my dame" he waited for you to sit down, and pushed in your seat for you. You saw him sit down, and you waited for a moment a took a sip of your apple juice before digging into your lasagna.
