Days turned to weeks, and the daily routine was set in place. I would wake up, feed Willow and myself, then go to training, have lunch and then go to the lab. I finally finished my suit, and Tony sent some information on my technology to Wankanda for Shuri to look at. Since everything was sent off, I started to work on some designs for a dress to wear at Tony's annual Christmas party. I kept asking Bucky what he would wear, but he kept saying he didn't know and wasn't planning to wear anything too fancy. This didn't help as I knew Tony would want me to wear a ball gown so he could show me off to people, as Pepper wasn't letting Morgan come to the parties at her age. On Wednesday and Saturday nights, Bucky and I would go on dates. He would take me out for dinner, or we would have dinner alone at the compound. Most nights, we would either sleep in his room or mine. He tends to have a better night's sleep and has fewer reoccurring nightmares.

It was a Saturday, and I was sitting in my room, testing different satin fabrics that would be the perfect backdrop to my sun and moon tulle embroidery dress. I was so engrossed in my work that I didn't hear the knock on the door at first. But when I did, I got up to answer it, my heart racing with anticipation. Bucky stood with some flowers and looked sexy in his all-black outfit.
Bucky - are you ready for our date?
Y/N - yes, I am, but first

I lean forward, slide my hands to his shoulders, and pull him down. Instinctively, he uses his free hand to take the side of my neck and pull me closer. Our lips touch passionately, making out in my doorway. Who knows how long we spent embracing each other, but as we pulled apart, I whimpered, longing to connect to him again.
Bucky hearing my noise chucked slightly, then grabbed my hand, intertwining it in his and taking me to the library in the compound. He opened the door, and all I saw were the fairy lights that hung around the bookshelves and a blanket in the middle of the floor.

Y/N - wow, Babe. This room looks beautiful... but why? for me?

Bucky - Yes, for you. You deserve to be spoiled at any moment possible.

Y/N - you tend to spoil me most nights *blushing*

Bucky -  oh do I? *a cheeky smile grew on his face*

Y/N - yeah...

Bucky - okay, well, before any of that takes place, I wanted to re-create some of the magic of our first date. When you were just a bookshop owner, I was a book lover looking to get my book collection back.

Y/N- simpler times... no red room, death threats, training.

Bucky - Yeah, but I still like seeing you every day.

Bucky takes your hand, leading you to the blanket and the hamper in the middle of the room. I see there is food, some wine, and another bunch of flowers sitting on top of the hampers Bucky had prepared. We sat on cushions, still holding a hand while using one to prop us up.

Bucky - all the food here is the same or similar to the food we had in the park. *he starts to open the hampers and pulls out different foods*

Y/N - Babe, this is adorable. I'm not complaining, but why have you made such an effort?

Bucky - I am an old fashioned man. I want you to be treated with respect and dignity at all times. Recently I have been growing so used to you being at my side every morning and night. Instead of just asking you as we lay in bed, I wanted to ask you and make an occasion of the matter. So I am sitting here ready to ask you... *He takes a deep breath* Will you move in with me, my darling?"

I could feel my heart beating faster as I looked into his warm, loving eyes. I was overjoyed. It felt like the next logical step in our relationship. We had been spending so much time together, and taking the next step made sense.

Y/N - yes! Oh my goodness, yes! Bucky, I have been waiting to say this for so long, but... I love you. I am in love with you. Even when you are angry and sometimes irritable, I love you.

Bucky - Do you? Because I have to tell you, I am so deeply and completely in love with you. Your presence brings me so much joy and happiness that I never thought possible. Every moment spent with you is dear to my heart. I lie awake at night thinking about how you are my person.

I climbed onto his lap, straddling him, and kissed him deeply. As I wrapped my arms around his neck, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. The way his hands moved up and down my back only fuelled my desire for him. I could feel his heart racing against my chest as our lips continued to lock in a passionate embrace. As we kissed, I couldn't help but think about everything I wanted to do with him. He made me feel indescribable, and I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

Bucky - Babe, as much as I want to keep going, you need food!

Y/N - Okay... but only if I turn around and sit in your lap?

Bucky chuckled and playfully swatted my butt. Bucky - You can sit wherever you want, doll.

We both laughed as I turned around and leaned back against his chest. I passed him a few sandwiches and some veggie snacks.

Y/N - Is there any dessert?

Bucky - Yes, there's a lactose-free cheesecake that Pepper made. But I'm going to have two desserts.  Bucky kissed me on the cheek.

Y/N - You certainly are! *I winked at him.*

After a few hours of cuddling, listening to light music, and attempting to convince Bucky that our room would not be entirely black and grey, we cleaned up and began walking back to our respective rooms. Suddenly, he pushed me against the wall and kissed me passionately. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and moaned into his kiss. He chuckled, picked me up, and my legs wrapped around his waist. He carried me to his room, and we continued to kiss as he kicked the door shut. He dropped my legs and stepped away.

Bucky - now I think it's time for my second dessert.

I giggled as he took off his top, exposing his muscular body and that arm, which I not only thought was sexy but grew to love. He cupped my face, kissing me, and then his hands dropped to my neck and shoulders. Pushing the straps of my dress off my shoulders. As if our bodies were talking, I instinctively turned around so he could unzip my dress. As my dress fell to the floor, Bucky began to kiss my neck up my ear. He whispers into my ear...

Bucky - Bed

I didn't need more I walked over to the bed, knowing I was safe and loved. As I got to the edge of the bed, I turned around to see Bucky's protective and lustful eyes. From that moment on, the night was a blur.
