Different as Night and Day (Winterfalcon)

Morning After Haze

Sam's POV

Y'all nasty if you think anything happened. We had a major make-out session, cuddled, and then fell asleep. Call me boring but I don't really care, because I'm the lucky one that got to wake up next to the beautiful face of Bucky Barnes. I propped myself up against the headboard, Bucky was lightly snoring. Lightly snoring and splayed across the other side of the bed.

This man was like the moon. Bright and serene. A touch of darkness but kind with his gentle light.

"Bucky we should probably get up." My voice was sing-song like but I just wanted to wake him up.

He groaned into the pillow, a sultry tone making its way from the fabric. "Morning to you too Birdbrain."

"Don't pout we gotta get up."

The ex-assassin turned to me, deadpan with his bed head hair, and with as much seriousness as he could muster. "Do we?"

I rolled my eyes and fixed his hair the best I could. He got up, stretching, only now realizing that I was shirtless with only sweatpants on and he was the same.

He stared at me, his yawn caught in his throat, it was adorable how quickly he became embarrassed-

And then I saw him as the blanket fell away. His muscles looked chiseled into his chest, sculpted not by angels but by Hephaestus. With fire and brimstone. He was just beauty, soft and gentle yet harshly astonishing. Like the moon.

"Sam? Earth to Sam? Like what you see Birdbrain?"

I came back to reality trying to keep myself from drooling. "Uh um yeah. Wait I mean yes. No. Yes I mean yes. Just...man you're lookin good..."

He just laughed and put on a sweater.

"Why are you gonna wear that???"

"I'm cold..."

"HOW IT'S HOT!!"

He rolled his eyes. "Whatever Sammy."

"Ok Jamie."

Bucky stopped as he was about to get back into bed with me.

"Jamie??"

"Yeah. Your real name is James. Therefore new nickname, Jamie."

Bucky just shook his head and wrapped around my arm.

"Alright come on we should get out there. You hungry?"

"No."

I looked at him oddly. He seemed a bit far away so I shook him mockingly.

"How bout some coffee then? Come on cyborg get your handsome ass up let's go."

I hauled him up and he just wrapped his arms around me trying to keep me in bed.

"Jamie. If you don't get off me I can get up to make us coffee. And how about I go buy you plums today?"

That got him up quick. He was a blur and suddenly by the door, holding it open.

"After you, birdbrain."

I just chuckled. Why he was so obsessed with the small fruits I'd never know.

We walked to the kitchen, Steve and Tony were cuddled on the couch. Wanda was making herself a small breakfast and Vision was sitting on a stool reading the paper. Nat was sipping her coffee in the recliner, scrolling on her phone.

I started making coffee and Bucky pulled up a stool, scrolling through his own phone.

"Hey Jamie you want any cream or sugar?" Pouring our coffee I grabbed the cream and sugar from the fridge.

"Both but just a little, thanks Sammy." He chimed back. A yell made me turn, almost spilling our coffees.

"WHO THE HELL IS JAMIE?!" Tony was staring at us from the couch, he was bent over the top looking confused.

"Stark. It's," I checked the clock. "Nine in the morning. It's too earlier for your extra-ness. Please?"

"Ok I get it sorry about yelling. But who's Jamie?"

I gestured like a game show host to Bucky.

Tony looked at me more confused and Steve facepalmed.

"Tones. Think about it. Bucky's legal name is James. Jamie...James."

I could practically see the pieces click.

"Ohhhh ok. Never mind carry on."

Wow Tony was slow on some stuff.

I turned to the ex-assassin and leaned on the counter taking a sip from my coffee. He sipped his and then asked quietly. "Alright, can we go into town now."

"Sure, but my question in turn, can we finish this coffee first?"

He smiled and nodded. Then it was like a lightbulb went on over his head.

"Persnickety Dragon?" He had a small smile and I knew if I said no the puppy eyes would be next.

"Whatever you want Jamie."

His small smile grew into an adorable grin and he took another sip of his coffee.

Gods I was in love with this adorable teddy bear ex-assassin.

A/N: if anybody has an prompt suggestions lmk I'd love to hear anybody's ideas. Tysm for reading!!
