Hot Coco Kisses

What Was it Like?

As the time slowly ticked by a knock sounded from the other side of the door.
"Sergeant and Y/N, the Captain wanted me to let you know that the young spiderling is here."
Loki's voice sounded from the other side of the door.
"We'll be right out Loki." You called from the sitting chair by the window with a copy of "The Great Gatsby" in hand and looked down at Bucky who sat between your legs on the floor reading "The Hobbit" with an excited smile on his face.
You ran your fingers through his soft locks as he closed his eyes in pure pleasure giving a soft hum in response.
"I guess we gotta go, Baby." You whispered, setting your book on the side table and keeping the other in his hair.
"I suppose we do." Bucky said before standing up and turned to face you offering his hand to you to help you up from your seat.

The two of you made your way out of the suite and to the foyer where a young boy stood with a backpack over his shoulder talking to Tony about "Spider Man's" recent crime fighting skills and possible upgrades to the suit.
Upon hearing footsteps approaching them Peter and Tony turned their attention towards the sound and saw you and Bucky coming from the hallway and Steve and Loki coming from the living room.
"Hello, I'm Peter Parker. Wait umm I'm Spiderman." The young boy stammered out quickly.
"Hello, Peter. I'm Y/N. It's lovely to meet you." You said gently trying to figure out how old he was.
"Bucky Barnes." Bucky said while wrapping his right arm firmly around your waist.
"Oh my gosh Mr.Barnes big fan of yours." Peter said enthusiastically.
"Hey Peter, How old are you? You sound a bit young." You said softly, trying not to offend him if he was older then he sounded and looked.
"Oh ummm. I'm fourteen and a half." He replied meekly.
"Tony! He's so young. Not that I don't think you're fully capable but you're so young." You shot off in concern.
"He's strong, we tested him and trained him in combat, no need to mama bear it. Plus I look after him sometimes."  Tony shrugged
"No one in their right mind would trust you with a child. No offense given your reputation." You said quickly.
"None taken cause I agree but he's good at what he does." Tony said in a calm tone.

Peter stood and watched with amazement glistening in his eyes as he watched you act like a mother towards him.
He was a rather shy teen and often kept to himself especially towards strangers but as he watched you he almost felt the urge to call you mom upon seeing you be so protective over him even though he wasn't and would most likely never be.
He could only hope to have that family dynamic one day.
After the death of Peter's parents he went to live with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben before tragedy struck his young life once more.
"Hey, Pete?" Steve called Peter, turning to face the boy.
"Huh, yeah." Peter snapped out of his dazed state.
"You wanna come with us to the farmer's market?" Steve asked with a slight grin.
"Yeah that sounds like fun. Is it okay with them?" He gestured towards you and Bucky.
"It's perfectly fine, Kid." Bucky said, giving a small smile in Peter's direction.
"Really Mr. Bucky sir!?" Peter said with a bright smile.
"I mean it." Bucky said with a nod.

The five of you went outside to a Range Rover that was parked just outside the front doors.
Steve went and sat in the driver's seat and put the directions into Friday as the navigation system.
Loki had offered the front seat to you, to which you politely refused while Bucky opened one of the back doors for you.
Peter got in on the other side and sat down close to the window making sure you had enough room.
You stepped up into the car and sat in the middle seat and leaned into Bucky's toned body.
You hummed enjoying the contact with his warm body as he wrapped an arm gently around your shoulders pulling you impossibly close to him.

"Hey, Peter? Could you tell me about yourself?" You asked, looking at Peter.
"Yeah, sure. Umm what would you like to know?" Peter sputtered out.
"What are some of your hobbies?" You asked, rubbing the tips of your fingers across Bucky's knuckles.
"I like photography, technological development research and reading." He listed off with a smile.
"Those sound like fun. Bucky absolutely adores technology and its developments through the decades, maybe one day the two of you can talk about it? Or maybe, we could all read sometime?" You offered.
"I'd really enjoy that with both offers" Peter smiled, leaning over to hug you.

Peter wrapped his arms around your waist and you held him close. Bucky had moved his arm before Peter made contact with you, he slowly lifted his left arm before gently placing his hand on Peter's head ruffling his soft hair around.

Steve, who sat in the front seat at a stop light directed his line of sight into the rear-view mirror and saw the interaction before Loki made a slight sound as a way to tell him the light had turned green and that  he needed to pay attention to his driving.

"Mr. Bucky sir, what was it like in the forties?" Peter looked up at Bucky with stars in his eyes.
"You can just call me Bucky, Kid. I don't remember much still but I do remember that the forties were rough, I'm not gonna sugar coat it but it did have its charms. The city was growing each day. The big bands played everywhere you went and the Stark expo was amazing." Bucky said with a small smile remembering little things here and there about his past.
"Did you ever go dancing?" Peter asked.
"I think so. To be honest I don't remember a lot of my teen and young adult years. But I danced almost every night with Y/N. We haven't danced the last couple of days. We'd set up the record player and dance to the oldies and then sit down with mugs of hot cocoa." Bucky said softly.
"You know Buck, I have a record player in my suite you guys can use until we can get the two of you one of your own." Steve from the front seat.
"Thanks Punk, I appreciate it. We may drop by later tonight to take you up on that offer." Bucky said, turning his attention to Steve momentarily before looking back at Peter.
"Did you listen to that one song, I think it was called Boogie Woogie something or other?" Peter said shyly, not remembering the name.
"You're thinking Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by the Andrews Sisters. I remember when they first performed it during basic, then when I finished basic and then when I was promoted to sergeant. Then it switched to Star Spangled Man With A Plan. I didn't even know it was about Steve until he rescued me." Bucky gave a light laugh.
"Gosh I remember that. I felt like a circus monkey whenever they made me perform that God forsaken song." Steve laughed and shook his head at the memory.
"I would've thoroughly enjoyed seeing that. I think I was around 800 at the time." Loki pondered.
"I feel the exact same Loki." You chuckled in delight, turning your attention away from Peter to look at Loki.
"Captain, I do have a question." Loki purred out in a sophisticated tone.
"Yes, Loki?" Steve said, focusing on the road ahead.
"How far are we from our destination?" Loki asked.
"Based on what Friday is saying, we're about thirty minutes out from the market." Steve said, looking down for a moment.
"Excellent, would anyone care for a beverage?" Loki said, turning to look at everyone in the back seat.
"Could I have an earl gray tea, please and thank you." You asked.
"I'll take the same as her. Thank you, Loki." Bucky smiled in his direction, gratefully.
"Could I have something Mr. Loki? Anything is fine." Peter asked softly.
"Coming right up." Loki stated before waving his hand and emerald mugs appeared in all of your hands.  You took a sip of your tea, and hummed appreciatively as the flavor washed over your tastebuds.  You could smell the sweet decadence of hot cocoa wafting from Peter's direction and smiled softly at him as he took his first sip and hummed happily.  You could see a line of hot cocoa lining his top lip and leaned over with your thumb and wiped it off.  You smiled softly at Peter, and he flushed gently under your attention. 
"Thank you" Peter beamed, his face breaking out into a smile before taking another sip of the drink.  You couldn't help but give a soft giggle as he got another mustache of hot cocoa on his top lip.

Bucky watched with adoration and hoped the two of you would have the chance to be parents again in the near future but first he wanted to fully make you his.
He wanted you to be his wife, his forever, the mother of his children.
He was ready for the next step the day everything happened. Everything had been planned out to the smallest detail.

He was going to take you to the farmers market and then make a store at the florist and buy you a dozen red roses.
Then he was going to set up the tub for you to relax in with bath salts and bubble bath while he made your favorite dinner and then he'd pop the question once the two of you settled on the couch for the night with your hot cocoa.

Now he just had to wait for the right moment to pop the question.

Early post!
It's a little short. I haven't been feeling the greatest but it's mostly my fault.
And as always thank you BlueEyedGirl83xo
