Never Safe

Chapter Thirty-Six

You rolled over in bed. He coughed to get your attention. You half opened your eyes to see who was there. You closed them just as quickly.

"You're in shit loads of trouble, little miss."

"It's too early" you moaned.

"It's noon" Bucky said.

You groaned at him.

"Get out of bed or I'm going to carry you by the ankles."

You forced yourself to sit up. You held your head in your hands.

"What were you thinking?"

"It wasn't my fault."

"Yeah? Who else's fault is it then?"

"Everyone else's. They forced me to. It was peer pressure."

"Mhm. That's a load of crap. Out of bed now."

"Mm."

Bucky threw the duvet to the side of the bed. He bent down and picked you up, holding you over his shoulder so your upper half was upside down facing his back. Bucky held onto your legs and walked out the room.

He took you to the kitchen where he sat you down in a chair. You immediately banged your head down on the table.

"What's up with her?" Nat questioned as Bucky kissed her on the cheek. Bucky glared at Sam and Tony who were guiltily avoiding eye contact.

"You two have some explaining to do."

"Uh, yeah" Sam laughed. "Funny story..."

"What were you thinking getting her drunk!" Bucky shouted. "She's fifteen for fucks sake!"

"Will you shut up? Some of us have a hangover" you called.

Bucky angrily shook his head.

"She said you said it was okay" Tony argued.

Bucky scoffed. "You believed her?"

"Uh... Sam's the one who invited her!"

"Hey! No! Well... I didn't know there was going to be alcohol-"

"You brought beer" Tony reminded him.

"Dude" Sam hissed.

"No, if I'm going down I'm bringing everyone down with me... Steve and Thor were both there too."

"Steve was there?" Bucky frowned. "He said he took her to bed."

"Yeah, so? Doesn't mean he wasn't drinking too."

"Jarvis, where's Steve?"

"Captain Rogers left the compound sixty-seven minutes ago."

"God, that bitch."

"Okay, actually, Bucky, you know what would cheer you up?" Sam suggested. "I have some videos you might like to see."

"Of what?"

"Y/n doing dumb shit. But I'll only send them to you if you promise not to kill us."

Bucky glanced at you. He was pretty sure you'd passed out again. "Show me."

"Nu uh. You gotta agree that we're forgiven."

"Fine... now let me see. Quickly, before she wakes up again."

Sam grinned and got out his phone to show Bucky videos of you dancing around and singing. The sound of your voice screaming the chorus of 'Party in the USA' awoke you again. You sat up and glared at Bucky as he, Nat, Tony and Sam were gathered around Sam's phone. Bucky looked up and smiled at you.
