The mission

The next few days were rigorous for all the trainees, with big exams and long sessions in the gym. But it had all been leading up to this day. They were training to go on missions, and their first one went well. But that was extremely low risk. This one was more like a real mission.

Coulson and Maria would never send them into a full-scale fight before they'd finished training, but there was some real threats.

Everything was contained to one area and they have real agents on standby, but it was up to the trainees to deal with the criminals and get the job done safely.

It was obvious everyone was nervous as the days got closer. Some would fumble during sessions every time it was mentioned, and some got quieter as the day got closer.

Bucky would have been a ball of nerves, sitting in a corner and not saying a word if it wasn't for Steve. But he slept great with the other by his side.

He was surprisingly the first of the two to wake up on the morning of the mission, securely held in Steve's arms. He watched the man sleep for a while. Watching his pale lips and beautiful long eyelashes before leaning over and placing a gentle kiss on him.

He didn't stir so Bucky grinned and ran his hands under Steve's shirt and to his nipples. He rubbed them gently to start with, and when the man didn't move, he pinched them.

Steve's hand grabbed at Bucky's as he groggily opened his eyes and narrowed them at him.

"Did you just nipple twist me?"

Bucky fell into a fit of giggles as Steve got over his shock and grinned at him. He reached down and whilst Bucky was busy laughing, he grabbed his butt and squeezed.

"Ah!" Bucky shouted and jolted before slapping a hand over his mouth.

Now Steve was laughing as he dropped his head into the other's neck.

"You're an ass", Bucky said with a smile in his voice.

"You started this".

They lay there in the quiet for a while before the inevitably stressful day. Steve breathed in Bucky's scent and stroked a hand up and down his back. He felt all the muscles under the man's top and squeezed when he got to the base of his neck.

Bucky made a happy sighing sound and relaxed into Steve. His body started to feel like jelly as he felt the hands roaming his back, occasionally squeezing at his neck. He's pretty sure he was drooling into the sheets when Steve slowly stopped and stroked his ribs.

Steve leant back slightly to cup Bucky's face and see what he was thinking.

"Falling asleep on me?" He whispered.

Bucky gave him a smile and stared back completely relaxed. He was so close to Steve wrapped in his warmth, and the soft hand on his face made him wish they could stay in bed all day.

"We have to get up at some point. We don't want to be late", Steve told him gently.

"Just wanna stay a little longer", he half spoke, half whined.

"If we skip showers we can get ten more minutes".

"What's the point in showering if we're just gonna get sweaty again?" Bucky pointed out.

Steve smiled down at him and leant over to place a chaste kiss on Bucky's lips before pulling back. The man reached a hand up and grabbed his top and pulled him back down for another. They did it over and over again, just small quick kisses that echoed around the room.

After a while, Bucky swung one of his legs over Steve's so he was even closer before grabbing the blonde hair and bringing him forward, keeping him there as he gave him a long kiss.
