Bucky. That's all Steve wanted and needed in his life. Before the war, during, and even after, all Steve wanted was his solider. His Bucky.
After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. Steve kept trying to find Bucky to bring him home. Everyone was against this...

It has been a month now since HYDRA was taken down. Over this past month we have done some clean up from what HYDRA destroyed.
On top of all of that, I have been thinking a lot about retiring. I am at a place where I am tired of fighting and missions. I just want to be home with my husband, travel the world, and take care of the kids.
The only things stopping me is how people will respond to me not wanting to do it anymore. The only person that I can talk to about this is Bucky, but it is 3 in the morning and he is sleeping.
Or so I thought.
"You know you think really loud." He says pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry." I mumbled.
He pulls me close. "What is going on in that brain of yours?" He asked.
"Can we go for a drive?" I asked
"Sure, lets get dressed and we can go." He says getting up out of bed.
Five minutes later we are pulling out of the compound in my truck. As we are driving, soft music is playing over the radio and Bucky is playing with my fingers.
"You want to tell me what is going on now?" He asked softly.
I cleared my throat and readjusted myself as I drove. "Would you still love me if I no longer wanted to be Captain America?
He looks over at me like I am insane. "What kind of question is that?! Of course I would still love you Steve. I didn't stay with you because of the title. I stayed with you because I loved you for you. I loved your heart, the way you loved me, the way you believed in things. How could you possibly think I would no longer love you when I loved you when we were kids." He says firmly.
I just shrug my shoulders feelings a little embarrassed.
"Steve are you thinking about retiring?" He asks me.
"Yeah" I whisper as we pull up at a view over the whole city.
"How long have you thought about this?" He asked me now.
"Since the night we destroyed HYDRA. Bucky I am tired of fighting. I know you are too because you have had to fighter harder than me, but I don't want to be Captain America anymore. I want to be Steve Rogers-Barnes. The man who takes his husband traveling around the world and exploring like we have never done before. I want to be able to freely walk around in public showing you off as my husband knowing we won't be in trouble like in the 40's. I just want a life baby." I say tearing up some over how exhausted I am.
"Oh Stevie. I get it. I really do. No one is going to support you more than I do. If this is something you want then do it. Do not let anyone else make this decision. Only you can. Don't let others guilt you into stepping down. You have every right to hang it up and be the person you want to be. Whatever you decide, I will be cheering you on all the way." He says leaning over giving me a soft kiss.
"I think I want to hang it up or at least pass it on." I tell him.
"Who would you pass it down to?" He asked.
"Maybe Sam. He has been with me a lot in this new world phase and he was my mission partner a lot. Plus I think it is time for the world to change in who they see as leaders." I tell him as we cuddle together looking over the city.
"I agree." Bucky mumbles.
We soon just sat in silence wrapped up in each others arms.
"Can you believe that we made it?" Bucky says.
"It has definitely been a wild and crazy ride that is for sure." I say with a chuckle.
"You got that right. In all honestly I am surprised you lasted as long as you did without me. I always had to save your ass in the allies." Bucky says laugh.
"Hey! I was skinny then." I say laughing.
"Yeah and you also knew how to pick on people that beat you into the ground." He says with a smirk.
"Whatever, as I used to say and still do somethings, I can do this all day"
"Yeah yeah whatever." He mumbles making me laugh.
A few more minutes passed by and he turns to look at me with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Wanna get back in the truck and make out like we used to when we were teenagers?" He asked with a voice of pure seduction.
"I would love nothing more than to suck your face off baby" I say smirking then biting the tip of his nose softly.
