Right Person || Bucky Barnes

Chapter five

It's been a few weeks, I'm fine, I haven't seen Adam since. I actually didn't intend to see it. Okay! I had actually had the urge to call him to clarify. then I told myself to let things cool off, and now weeks had gone by. But at least I had time to think. Maybe it was worth giving us another chance. Solving our five emergencies. Not to throw away more than two years together

Pepper had thrown a party tonight to say goodbye to the Wakandans. An elegant evening, where the wealthy of New York came to brag about it, do some charity work and be filmed by journalists. I knew there was a lot going on since Tony passed away nearly 10 months ago.

We were forced to come. She had had our clothes put in the room for the evening.

I was in my room with Yelena and Wanda. We were dressing and doing our hair and makeup together. I had on a dark green dress.

"Did you finally call him to clarify?" Yelena asked

"I haven't spoken to Adam in three weeks," I said

"You should clarify, you're cute together...And he's sexy"
"Yelena!" Wanda yelled "even if she's right" she added.
"I know. It's just that I was very annoyed that he was dictating rules about what I should do" "Understandable, but you should just talk about it"
We continued to prepare. I was in a dark green dress, my hair down, and light makeup. "Ame did you hear from Barnes's room three days ago?"
I was the closest person to his room, so I would hear whenever he had a girl. It happened that Wanda also heard something, if she was particularly loud "yes"
"I saw her leave. She was an Asian this time" Yelena said "I heard Hill and she said that for the rooms they will have the option of soundproof walls which created Stark, and that will be from next week" announced Wanda. Then we finished getting ready and went down to the first floor

It was full of people.  I plucked up my courage and went to Salute Rhodes, who made me salute Pepper, who made me salute a certain Mr. Brown, who made me salute a Mr. Miller and so on...

I saw Yelena enjoying talking to a lady about the Russian accent. Then I turned, I saw Clint Talking to Wanda, Bruce talking to Scott and Hope, Peter Talking to Pepper, Torres talking to Rhodes. I didn't see Adam, he was probably busy he wasn't invited, not all agents were. Try to get the thought out of my head.

I looked around and I saw Sharon Carter, she looked at me and greeted me, so I went to talk to her

"Hi Sharon" "How much time" I smiled "How are u?"  "Well, I'm officially back on duty, and I've been assigned here. I won't be one of the permanent ones, but I will come sometime during the week"  I nodded, then she looked behind me "Hey Bucky" I turned to look at him, he joined us
"Hi girls...Nice party"  "yeah....I was just telling to Ame that I'm officially back on duty, and I've been assigned here. I won't be one of the permanent ones, but I will come sometime during the week" she chuckled  "Great I will see you around" "Yep, but you know, it's for work" She smirked "Alright, I'll keep my distance"  "hopefully not too much" then she continued around, and he returned to his earlier conversation with Sam

What the fuck had just happened?!

She was flirting with Bucky?!

They were flirting in front of me!!

Oh God!

I took another round, and went to talk to Wanda and Clint. Then Pepper made a speech, thanked everyone, and said goodbye to the Wakandans, who had helped us this first month and a half

Trying not to be seen I walked slowly to the elevator and went up to my floor, I needed to relax. Arrived at my floor I went to the sofa, to see that it was already taken. From who? James Fucking Barnes

maybe if he hadn't seen me I could go back and-
Fuck!
I was wearing heels, probably heard me walking
"Hey" he said turning to me

Perfect!

Oh!!

"Hey" I said approaching, now there was no point in hiding
" you ok?" He asked as I was sitting down
"Yep, why?"  "You're here while there's a party downstairs?"  "I could ask you the same question"  "Touché Ame"  "So...Why are u here?"  "'Cause I don't like big parties"
"No way... Are you telling me James doesn't like Bucky Barnes?!" "
Hey, don't tease me... I'm not saying I don't like at all but..."  "Dozens of people you don't know who ask you questions all the time...They're unbearable...I understand you"
" Yes, well, then I can't be like everyone else. I can't get drunk and bear them thanks to alcohol"
I could hear my brain thinking. He was looking at me, as if he saw my neurons
"What are you thinking about?"  "do you want to get drunk?" I looked at him with a smirk on my face
"I'd like to. But I can't. For the super soldier serum"  "Oh, you can" he looked confused

"Tony told me a long time ago about an Asgardian drink that got Steve drunk in 2015... He also told me that before he leaves he steals some from Thor... And told me where it is" then I whispered "and it's in this building"
"Really? Are you sure?"  " well, I'm 68% sure that it is still here..." he chuckled "do you want search it?" "where should it be?" "

"On the third floor, Tony told me that three rooms to the right of the conference room were an unused office, so there was his stuff in there, and in that room, there was a floorboard that had come off, so it was the perfect hiding place." " and you think it is there"

then he stood up and held out his hand to me " are we going or not?" I took his hand and I got up " Let's go"

(Later that night)

giggles  "fortunately no one took it before us" "yeah, it has a strange taste, but wow. I haven't gotten this drunk since 1944"
we continued to laugh. We had found Thor's Asgardian liquor. We hadn't drunk that much, it was just very strong. I had taken three sips and was totally drunk. He drank a little more because of the resistance from the serum. We were sitting on the floor with our backs leaning on the sofa, we were in our living room

"We should go and put it where it was"  I said and tried to get up, failing. He started laughing. "Come on, I'll help you"  he said and stood up. He held out his hand to me, I took it and stood up. There was a moment of silence, I still held his hand, and we were looking into each other's eyes. He coughed softly. "We should go", I nodded.

We went inside the elevator, got off and put the liquor back where we found it. You could hear underneath that the party was still going on.  We got back in the elevator to go to our floor.

"nice night" "yes... well at least we had fun" "how long do you think the party will continue?" I chuckled "why? do you want to go back?" He looked at me and chuckled "no...I would say no" he said. He continued to keep his gaze on me. I too raised mine on him. Then the lift beeped. We had arrived. I sighed and started walking out. we went to our corridor. I slowed down and he continued instead, passing the bedroom doors. I reached him. we were looking out the window

"it's a pity you can't see the stars" he nodded "there's too much light...a pity" we stayed there in silence for a while. Then we looked down and saw people, guests of the party, walking across the lawn. Among the people was Sharon. I sighed "it's nice that Sharon comes here, don't you think?" he looked at me "well yeah, she's good company i guess...yes, she is good at her job" he said "I remember that he knows how to use the gun well, but not so much in hand-to-hand combat" I added "I remember in 2016 I saw her fight in a great hand-to-hand" "yes?" "Yes. Against me. She did it together with Natasha"  I chuckled  "well but it doesn't count...not with Natasha, she was awesome...and then I bet you aren't that hard to fight" He looked at me, turning to me. "Sure of this?" I turned too "Oh yeah...I am most strong than you"  "I'm a supersoldier"  "I've fought against super soldiers before" "okay, you're powerful....but I' m stronger" "Oh, yeah?"

as we spoke our eye contact intensified, we kept looking straight into each other's eyes. He was about half a meter from me.
"I bet I'd beat you with my eyes closed"
"so sure?" he chuckles "okay, maybe you're stronger but I'm more powerful....so I'd kick your ass" I admitted "well, I also have a vibranium arm" "oh..." I teased him "I'm still more powerful" he slowly approached me, and I did too "I'm also faster" I felt like a tightness in my throat as our faces were inches away from each other. there was a moment of silence as we continue to look into each other's eyes...
