My soldier ~ Bucky Barnes X Reader

Part 14 ~ proper date

You woke up alone. This got you worried. You pulled some jeans and a sweatshirt on before running downstairs and sighed with relief when you saw the metal armed super soldier on the couch with a coffee. You weren't sure why he'd left and he could see the obvious panic on your face as he looked up and quickly reassured you. "Sorry, I got up to say goodbye to Steve and I didn't wanna come back and accidentally wake you".

You smiled at his thoughtfulness, made a coffee for yourself and sat next to him on the couch. He wrapped an arm around your shoulder carefully and pulled you against his side. You let your head fall and rest on his shoulder, then he speaks. "How'd you sleep doll?"

"Great thanks", you smiled and lifted your head to look at him, "how about you?". He smiled back at you then answered, "yeah these past three nights I've slept better than I have in a long time". Your smile grew wider. "What?", he asked confused. "I'm glad", you say looking straight into his baby blue eyes.

His arm had now slid from over your shoulder to around your waist. He lightly traced a circle on your side, making you jump and giggle, unprepared for it. You looked up and and frowned at him. He chuckles, "sorry, it's adorable I couldn't help myself".

You roll your eyes but couldn't keep the smile off your face. "Whatcha wanna do today doll? We got the place to ourselves", Bucky asked. "Hmm I'm not sure, I can't do too much because of the injury". What he said next made you sad." sorry". Is he actually apologizing for something Hydra did? After what they did to him?! Oh heck no.

"Hey look at me!", you lift his chin and force him to look at you. "Don't you dare apologize for them. This...", you say pointing to your shoulder, "is not your fault, you hear me?". He nods. "Say it, it's not your fault".

"Not my fault", he mutters sadly, barely above a whisper. You could tell he didn't fully believe it, but it was slight progress. His eyes falter for a split second to look at your lips, but move straight back to your eyes. It's only then you realised you were still holding his face up to look at you, and you brush your fingertips through his stubble. His eyes wander back to your lips, his gaze lingering this time as he looks back up to your eyes.

Before you could register what you were doing, you close your eyes, lean in and press a passionate kiss to his lips, your hand still cupping his face, fingertips moving down his jaw. You instantly get scared when he pulls away. Had you overstepped? Read everything wrong?

"I wanna take you out on a proper date first", he says, answering your silent questions. You smiled. "Okay Barnes proper date it is". He smiles back at you gratefully. You cuddle into his side on the couch while the two of you drink your coffee's and zone out staring at the boring news channel that was playing on the TV.

After you finished your drinks, you took both mugs to the sink and nipped to your room to get your phone to see if you had any updates from the mission. You noticed you did have a text, but it was an unknown number. You opened it, and read in your head 'y/n y/l/n I will kill you'.

You felt a shiver run through you as you read it. After a couple of minutes debating with yourself, you decided it was probably a prank. You are an avenger, you get fan messages and silly threats from haters all the time. Just...not usually to your personal phone. You blocked the number and pushed it to the back of your mind, not wanting to worry about a hater right now.

While you were in your room, you also decided to get changed into clothes for training. You couldn't overdo it, but you figured you could get a light workout done. You headed for the training room in your shorts and sports bra, with your phone and waterbottle in your hand. Bucky caught you on your way. "Hey, where'd you think your going?".

You sighed, "I'm sick of doing nothing, I'll just do a light workout, and I'll be careful I swear-",but you cut short when you noticed Bucky's eyes were roaming your body. You smirked as he stuttered and omg...
