One Night In Brooklyn | Bucky Barnes 1940's

2.30 AM

"Vanilla or chocolate?" He narrowed his eyes at her.

"Vanilla" She responded after minimal thought.

"Boring" He shrugged.

"It goes with everything!" She defended.

They had retreated back into the kitchen, the rain was still pouring hard on the street outside. And with the balcony door wide open, they could feel the cold breeze. Eloise had forced Bucky into a robe of hers. It was hilariously short on him, and after a strenuous amount of compromise he agreed to wear it open accompanied by his underwear. It consisted of a fluffy black fabric that he was never going to admit felt kind of nice against his skin.

Eloise had dressed in a long night gown, with a matching silk robe that was left open. Both of the items trimmed with lace.

"You have too much routine, you know" Bucky shook his head judgmentally. "You should live on the edge a little" He dug his spoon into his cup of ice cream.

"Says the Sergeant" Eloise pointed out sarcastically.

"I do plenty of rule breaking" His eyes flicked up at her with a shimmer of mischief.

"oh, I'm sure you do" She giggled.

The sounds of their spoons clinking against the insides of the cups filled the room for a few seconds.
"Why did you become a soldier?" Eloise asked softly, hoping he might answer this time.

Bucky looked up at her without saying a word, only a soft smile lingering on his face before he continued to dig in his glass.

"Why do you want to know?" He whispered, still very focused on his ice cream.

"Why don't you want to tell me?" She threw back at him instantly.

Bucky took a deep breath, and put down his cup of ice cream on the table.

"I think you are the prettiest girl I have ever met" He leaned forward on his chair.

"Don't try to charm your way out of this." Eloise teased, pointing her spoon at him.

He moved closer and closed his mouth around her spoon, licking it clean of the vanilla ice cream.

The way his eyes remained on hers made her feel a slight tensing in her thighs.

"Tell me!" She whined, moving her feet towards him in a playful kicking motion. He had been waiting for it. Bucky quickly grabbed a hold of her ankles and pulled at them hard. Her chair was pulled towards him with a loud screech against the tiled kitchen floor as she let out a startled shriek.

"I can charm my way out of anything" He teased, grabbing hold of the sides of her chair as he pulled her even closer leaving her nowhere to put her legs besides right in his lap.

She casually threw them over one of his knees as she kept sucking on the spoon.

Bucky searched her face with intense focus. Her rosy cheeks were showing even in the dim lighting. A small table lamp lit in the corner of the room was still able to bring out the intense green of her eyes. Her dark eyelashes fluttered as she looked at him with a wondrous expression on her face. The red lipstick was gone, revealing the subtle pink shade of her full lips

"Want some?" She raised an eyebrow at him, offering a spoonful of ice cream.

Bucky slowly leaned forward, accepting the offer, only to have her spread the spoonful of ice cream all over his mouth.

Eloise, of course, thought it was hilarious. A fit of laughter filled the room as she threw her head back, hysterically cackling at the sight of him. She could see the annoyed expression on his face grow before he grabbed her face between his hands and rubbed his own face against hers. Eloise screamed, trying to fight while laughing as she struggled to squirm free.
