Doll. // Bucky Barnes X OC

THIRTY-ONE

"Oh my God..." Melany smiled, covering her face with her hands. Tears brimmed her blue eyes as she looked down at the handsome man kneeled in front of her. "Yes!" She got down on her knees in front of him.

He returned a bright smile as she fumbled a little on her knees. He grabbed her waist, holding her up tightly. He slipped the ring over her finger, before pulling her toward him. She smiled against his lips as she let happy tears fall onto her cheeks.

They could faintly hear the cheers and yells from the people also skating around them.

"I love you." Bucky muttered against her lips.

"I love you too, Bucky." Melany smiled as she pulled away from him. The two of them stood up, seeing Steve had retreated back to the group that were at the entrance. Melany hadn't even really looked at the ring before she said yes, she was too busy trying not to cry.

She stayed facing Bucky who had began wiping away her tears with his thumbs across her cheeks. She giggled, smiling at him. "It's freezing," she noticed herself begin to shiver. "Can we go home?"

Bucky chuckled, turning her back toward the entrance where everyone was still standing. "Of course, doll."

Melany looked down at her hand, spreading out her fingers as she looked down at the ring on her finger. She couldn't keep the tears from brimming back into her eyes as she made her way over to the group that had been watching them.

"Congratulations!" Wanda and Nat screamed at the same time, tackling her in a hug.

"Let me see it." Wanda wiggled her fingers after they all let go of their embrace.

Melany laughed a little, wiping away the rest of her tears from her cold cheeks. She let Wanda take her hand, who was gawking at the diamond on her best friend's finger. "He did amazing."

"He did." Melany agreed. Her cheeks were starting to hurt as she smiled brightly. She looked over at Bucky who was talking with Bruce, Steve and Sam. She sat on one of the benches to take off the skates and switch back to her regular shoes.

He was smiling as Bruce was talking to him, listening intently. Bruce patted Bucky's shoulder as he finished, and Bucky turned to see Melany already staring at him.

He smiled brightly at her, quickly dismissing himself from the guys. He reached out to Melany, kissing her temple. "You ready to go?"

Melany nodded, wrapping her arms around his waist as she leaned against him slightly, needing his warmth.

He rubbed her back softly as they all walked out to the parking lot. Wanda and Nat walked next to them.

"We have so much planning to do!" Wanda smiled brightly at Bucky and Melany.

"Let's not get into that right now." Bucky chuckled, unlocking the seat to his motorcycle and pulling out the helmets and handing Melany hers.

"She is right though." Melany smiled back at Wanda, as Nat rolled her eyes. "Nat, will you help us? Not today—"

"Yes, today!" Wanda half-yelled in Melany's face. "This is going to be the best wedding ever!" She grabbed Melany's hand as well as Nat's in the other.

Nat rolled her eyes, again. "Only if Bucky doesn't help."

Bucky furrowed his brow, looking over at Nat. "Why can't I help?"

"Because, you won't understand half of what we're talking about, and Melany doesn't need your contradicting opinions about the flowers, or the food." Wanda spat.

"This is my wedding too, you know?" He rolled his eyes, poking his tongue into his cheek.

"He can help with the smaller stuff. The themes, colors," she paused, looking over at her fiancée, "the honeymoon." She beamed over at him as she spoke the last bit.
