The Shadow Sholdier

He chuckles

The next morning I wake up in my bed.
I'm a bit confused.
I sit up and look around.
‚Didn't I fall asleep on the couch?'
Bucky's not here.
I yawn and look at the time.
It's 8.36am.
I'm hurrying to get ready.
My hair looks a bit messy but it's alright, I've put it in a bun.
I walk out of my room, to the lifts.
‚Wait. Did Bucky carry me to my room?' I think as I step in and press the button.
‚At least he didn't stay.'
The lift stops and I walk to the common room.
Steve, Bucky and Natasha sit on the couch.
„Good morning, beauty." she says as I walk past them.
„Oh please, just shut up." I respond.
I hear her giggling as I make myself some cereal in the kitchen.
„How'd you sleep? I mean like after all the stuff that happened yesterday." Steve asks.
„Great, actually." I answer and briefly look at Bucky.
„That's good to hear." he says.
I nod and sit down next to Natasha.
„So what's up today?" I ask as I eat my cereal.
„Training, I guess?" she says and looks at Steve.
„Yes, today we're gonna do some one on one fights." he answers.
Bucky looks at me, I smile slightly and focus on Steve again.
„When?"
„In the afternoon."
„Okay."
We sit and talk, while I eat my cereal.
Suddenly my phone lights up.
A message of Tony: ‚Hey, I hope Steve already told you about the suit designs I've made. If not, well I made some designs of a suit for you. Come to the lab at 10am.'
‚I'll be there.'
I look at the time, it's 9.43am now.
The other's been talking about some Avengers stuff.
„Ima go now, I'll see you later." I say as I stand up. Before I leave the common room, I bring my bowl to the kitchen.
I wave at them as I walk out of the room.

I go to the lifts and press the button.
As I wait, I hear someone walking to me.
I turn around, it's Bucky.
He stands next to me.
I look at him.
„I carried you to your room." he says.
„I noticed, thanks." I respond.
He smiles slightly.
The lift doors open and we step inside.
„Why'd you go yesterday?"
„I had to clear my mind." I say without looking at him.
„Really? Or was it just because of Natasha?"
„Little bit of both. I just wanted to be alone."
He nods understandingly.
„I know that feeling, but remember you can always talk to me if you want to."
I smile slightly and look at him.
„Thank you, I really appreciate that."
The doors open.
We walk out, to our rooms.
„I'll see you later." I say and smile at him before I open my door.
Bucky smiles back.
I go into my room and close the door behind me.
‚Now I wonder if he stayed until I really fell asleep..'
I sigh and sit down on my bed.

I was on my phone for some minutes until I went to the lifts again.
The doors open and press the button for the lab.
I go to the lab.
„Not a minute late." Tony says as he sees me.
I look at him.
„Nice to see you too." I say and walk to him.
„So to get to the point, I made some prototypes and designs for a suit." he says and a hologram pops up right in front of us. „They're all made for your powers, which means if you get invisible, the suit gets invisible etc. You know what I mean."
I nod.
„This first one looks kinda like Natasha's." he explains and zooms to a suit. „It's one piece of clothing."
„What is it made of?"
„Many bulletproof materials."
„The next one is similar.."
Tony shows and explains every suit to me.
Every pocket, every detail and every material type.
„So now, which one do you like best?" he asks.
I look at them.
„This one, I think. But could the more darker."
„Sure, like this?" he taps on the hologram and the suit get's darker.
„Yeah, exactly like that."
„Good, I'm working on it. I hope it'll be done by the next two days." he says.
„Thank you." I respond.
He nods.
„I'll see you later." Tony says.
I smile slightly and walk off.

I go to my room again.
As I walk by Bucky's room, I think about knocking at his door.
I'd talk about last night.
In the exact second I think about it, Bucky opens the door.
I look at him.
It's a bit akward, cause I'm standing right in front of his door.
„You alright?" he asks.
„Yeah, sure. Just thinking."
„Like always?"
„Like always."
„Wanna talk?" he asks and gestures into his room.
I look at him and nod.
„Come in."
I walk past him into his room.

„So what's on your mind?" Bucky asks as he sits down next to me on his bed.
„Did you stay?" I ask and look at him.
„When?"
„Yesterday, after you brought me to my room."
„I thought about it, to be honest. But I didn't."
„Why not?"
„I was tired and you were already asleep. I nearly fell asleep next to you." he says and chuckles.
I smile softly too.
His heartbeat is a bit fast.
„Yeah, it was just a bit too much yesterday." I say and look out of the window.
„I have just one question." Bucky says.
„Hm?"
„Does it hurt when you get invisible?" he asks.
„No, luckily not." I answer.
„But how does it work?"
„I dunno." I respond and shrug. „I just do it."
„I mean I've seen crazier stuff, but I still wonder." he says.
„I guess we'll never know."
I look at him.
„Mhm."

We talked until 13.24pm.
„When did Steve say we're traning?" Bucky asks.
I've layed down and look at him.
„In the afternoon, I think."
He nods.
„Why?" I ask.
In the same moment my phone rings.
I pick it up.
„Yeah?"
It's Steve.
„Okay, I'm coming."
I put my phone down.
„They ordered pizza." I say and look at Bucky.
„Let's go then." he replies and stands up.
He makes his hair into a bun.
„You coming?"
I stand up.
„Yup."
He chuckles.
I look confused at him.
„What?"
„Look in the mirror." he says and smiles.
I do as he says.
My hair is tousled very much.
I smile too.
„Oh god, I gotta fix that real quick. One second.." I say and do my hair.
After several minutes, I end up with a half up, half down hairstyle.
„Let's go." I say and look at him.
He nods and we walk out of his room to the lifts.

‚I've never seen him smiling so much.'
