Those Ocean Eyes and That Charming Smile

187

"You know, Cass is going to expect a baby cousin from us now." Bucky leans down in my ear with a deep and loving voice as we ride up to the living floor in the elevator

"I knew you heard us." I press my lips in a line and look up at his smile. "I don't think anything can block out that hearing of yours." I sigh lightly

"When it's you? I want to hear everything from your voice to your heart beating in that pretty chest of yours." He compliments with his eyes darting down to my baggy crop top that allows my stomach to relax in the air

"You really can't wait to have sex, can you?" I laugh and he closes his eyes to shake his head

"A month of only masturbating isn't enough, babydoll, and it's harder to not pin you down when you say you wanna carry my baby." He admits

"Wait, you actually masturbated when I was asleep?" I smile wide and he rolls his eyes

"I felt guilty after but, yes, I did." He nods a sigh

"Finally, you listen to me." I mutter under my breath and relax in my wheelchair

"Fucking asshole." He teases through a chuckle and stands back up where we share some giggles but once it dies down, I lift my hand to my shoulder to hold his warm hand

"Before we get up there... does the team know about us?" I ask and he nods his head

"They had questions if we ever kissed again, made up, made out." He breathes out a small amused breath through his nose when he thinks back on everything. "They asked me if you ended up remembering me and I said we were dating for a month before that mission and Sam didn't want to believe it- he still doesn't believe it." He huffs, obviously still pissed

"He'll come around." I turn my head and kiss the side of his hand that turns and holds my hand in his

"I don't want another obsessed man on your ass who eventually hurts you." He subtly explains why he is so mad. "And I know you will say he never would but, that is what he promised you once and I don't trust it. I refuse to let you get hurt like that again if I can help it." He cuts me off before I can even speak to bring up Luca even though he will never speak his name

"We're alright, my love." I squeeze his hand just as the doors open

Most of The Avengers are out in the dining room to get ready for their big dinner like always as the sun has set now with it being almost winter and that caught my eye but, there were immediate cheers of excitement as Bucky wheeled me out of the elevator and through the kitchen so I can see the dining room and the living room where people are scattered. I am moved to sit right in the middle of it all like I requested and in the hallway between the table and the island so I can see everyone even though Tony said I was stealing his spotlight.

He was literally standing under the light I am sitting under now.

Bucky spins around and grabs a beer bottle to hook on the edge of the counter top and slap his right hand down to pop the metal cap off that clatters to the ground and that obviously upsets Steve as he makes his shredded chicken tacos for all of us except for me and after Bucky bends over the counter to rub his fingers of the edge and take a swing of his beer then reassuring his friend, all is well and my mouth waters at the smell of the warm food but something on my mind is heavier than food.

"Where is сестра, Mary, and Sarah?" I blurt out and accidentally cut off some conversations

"They're at the store picking up some stuff for you, baby." Bucky leans his hip against the island behind Steve and next to me. "Nothing to worry about." He smiles happily and I sigh
