My Soldier (Bucky Barnes)

Shall we, Doll?

-STEVE POV-

"You don't tell us ?!!" "Oh so you all know it.." I heard Ana say it. What were they talking about that even made Sam so smiley today. "Know what?" I asked the women in front of me as I stood in the doorway. Nat gave me a cautious look while Wanda seemed shocked. Of course, it was my first appearance with Ana in the same room for them. "Oh so now you want to know what's happening huh?" Wanda said in her thick Sokovian accent. She was mad but Nat stood there confused. She is never confused or even if she is, she hides it well. She knew something, but what? I opened my mouth to answer the younger Sokovian woman but was beaten to it by Ana. "Girls, it's fine. We talked in the gym today. It's all good now." she said with a wide smile. "So you guys are friends again?" Nat spoke this time. "Yep, stronger than ever." the brunette answered with a nod. Nat gave me a look while Wanda cheered around. "That's the two best things happening in the same day. My life is blessed!" she cheered. "What was the first thing?" I asked. "Ste-" Nat's words were blurred due to Wanda's as she said the words I wished I hadn't heard, "Bucky and Ana are going on a date today!" 

Everything stopped for me. All the voices around me were blurred and incoherent. I looked into Ana's eyes and saw there was genuine happiness filled in them. I had now realized that I had lost one more thing I had just found again. I put a smile on my face and nodded in happiness for her. "That's great, Ana. Why didn't you tell me?" I said as I hugged her in congratulations. "Well, I am sure the girls would want to have you to them for the getting ready part. Have fun!" I said with a smile. Tears were slowly brimming into my eyes, I had to leave immediately. "Oh I forgot I have to give Hill a call about the mission update. I'll catch you guys later." I said quickly and left the living room quickly. I headed into the lift and as soon as it shut, a tear escaped from my eye. "Where to, Captain Rogers?" the AI asked. "My floor please." I said and wiped the tear off my face. 

-NATASHA POV-

Poor Steve. I felt bad for him. He was really a selfless guy and anytime he'd wanted to be selfish to have one thing for himself, he was denied of it. He had just made things right with Ana and wanted to have a chance at her to express his feelings for her but, she was now going on a date with his best friend. I could clearly see the tears brimming in his eyes but he wanted to hide them. I couldn't help his feelings but I could help save my best friend's relationship by not letting him ruin it for her. Ana and Wanda were both like sisters to me. If I had to trade myself for them and their happiness, I'd readily do it. I couldn't allow him to make it messier than it already was. I am sorry Steve, but I have to. 

Ana came up walking in front of me making me break from my train of thoughts. "Hey Nat, is Steve ok? Like, did something happen with him when we didn't talk?" she asked me concerningly. "No, he's fine. He had a few missions so he had to report them to Hill. Otherwise, its all fine." I lied smoothly. "You sure?" "Yeah, totally. Now come on, loser. We have to get you all dolled up for your man." I said and pushed her with me to her room. Once we entered the room, we both sat down on the bed as Wanda and Jane invaded the closet and looked for an ideal dress to match the evening's set place. She took out a few dresses but there was one that shone brighter and met with my eyes. It was a sleek creme colored long pantsuit dress with a ruffle strapless neckline. I took that out of Wanda's hand and declared it the winner. "I love it." Ana said and she took out some chunky 14k gold hoops and few bracelets to match it. The rings she regularly wore also matched with them. 

We had our lunch together and engaged into painting her nails in the afternoon. As the evening rolled in, we started to get her ready for the night. Wanda blow dried Ana's hair while I did the makeup settling it to be light and natural. It'd be safe to say that she looked gorgeous. Me, Wanda and Jane shared a high five for our efforts and later escorted Ana out to the living room. 

-BUCKY POV-

I'd be lying if I say I wasn't scared, more of nervous but yeah. This night was the most important to me, it had to be right and perfect for my Natsya. She deserved it. I waited in the living room for her in an grey pants and black dress shirt with my collar and top butting let open and sleeves rolled up. I was feeling it tonight, like I wanted to be open to her with showing my usually hid, cybernetic arm. We changed it up a bit today though. Tony had brought in a grey black arm for me specially from Wakanda which he made sure to be installed in the afternoon. It was lighter and easier for me to handle. I was excited to show her my new look. I was nervous as hell though which was evidently visible to all as I paced around. 

"Calm down, Cyborg. She is gonna love it." Tony said. "Yeah man, relax, you guys already made out so she ain't gonna say no to you." Sam laughed. I glared at him for a second before getting back into my parade of thoughts. Steve wasn't there at all. He said he had to leave for briefing with Fury but there was no mission for him this week from what I heard. Why was he behaving like this? Nat and Wanda had told me they were friends again so why was he ignoring me now? "Hey, don't stress much. She likes you very much. I've seen it." Jane said from next to me with her hand on my shoulder. 'True, but I love her', I thought. I looked over at Thor who just smiled softly and gave me a thumbs- up. Just then there was an orchestrated trumpets and violin played on the sound system around the room. I looked at Tony who just smirked and then looked towards the door when I saw her. 

Her eyes shone bright while she gracefully walked towards me. Her smile being the most beautiful, made me forget to breathe further. Her brown hair swayed on her back while some short bunches fell on her face like curtains which softened her features. The reddish tinge of her lips were intoxicating like a glass strong wine. I had to make this night the best for her. I felt a nudge on my shoulder and I saw it was Sam who then pushed me closer towards her. She let out a soft chuckle. I gave him a glare and then looked at her with a smile as she held out her hand for me. "Shall we leave, Soldier?" she asked me with a suggestive smile. "It's my thing to do tonight, doll." I said in a deep voice as I took her hand. "Shall we, doll?" I asked her again to which she replied with, "Yes, Sarge."
