The Grey - Steve Rogers + Bucky Barnes X OC Love Story

Chapter 43

Victoria, Bucky, and Steve had shared the Asian inspired meal that Bucky had ordered for them. He'd gotten pad Thai, orange chicken, wor sue gai, crab rangoons, fried rice, egg rolls, and beef and broccoli. He wanted to make sure he got plenty of variety, so he knew Victoria would eat enough. He knew Steve was just as worried as he was about her not eating or drinking all day.

Victoria sighed contentedly, leaning into Steve and closing her eyes. She'd eaten so much she was sure her leggings would bust open. But now she felt like trash from all the carbs and fat.

Steve kissed her temple, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "Doing okay, sugar?" He asked.

Bucky grabbed a bottle of water for Victoria after putting the mountain of leftovers in the fridge. He sat down and pulled Victoria's legs into his lap. "Drink up." He insisted.

Victoria sighed, closing her eyes while she took an oversized drink of her water. "I ate too much." She whined.

Steve laughed, kissing the side of her face again. "That's your own fault for not eating all day." He reminded her with a casual laugh.

VIctoria groaned, elbowing Steve as best as she could. "I have to find Walker." She reminded the two. She couldn't stomach the thought of him having so much of her blood and not knowing what he was doing with it. The thought made her sick.

Bucky rubbed his hands up her legs, kneading her muscular thighs on his way up. "Working yourself to death isn't helping find him any faster." He lectured. "We'll find him, doll. And when we do, I'll kill him for touching you." He says. His left hand tightened, making the plates shift on his arm. He still hadn't gotten over how angry he was for not only kidnapping her but for trying to get her to turn on Steve.

Victoria took his hand into hers, squeezing it lightly. "We'll deal with him together." She corrected.

Steve tightened his grip on her as well. "No, you're not going near him. We're handling it." He stated somewhat sternly. His hand slid down to her defined stomach. "What if you were pregnant? We can't risk you getting hurt or him finding out about it. Imagine how obsessed he'd become?" He asked.

Victoria huffed, relaxing into both of their touch. "But I'm not. It's been months, and it hasn't happened. I can't just wait around like I'm fragile." She argued. She hadn't agreed to join the team, but she was willing to fight with them. Not that the guys would let her since they never knew if she was pregnant. Steve had debated making her take a test before any missions, but so far, none had come up that needed everyone.

Bucky kneaded her thighs in his hands again, holding her legs across his lap. "It will, and when it does, we can't risk you getting hurt." He reminded her. He reached up and took her hand into his, his thumb grazing across the ring from him and Steve that she'd put on about a month ago.

Victoria nodded, closing her eyes to enjoy the guys being so close to her. "Oh, Steve, Tony found out." She mentioned casually. She didn't know how else to tell him, honestly.

Steve nodded, kissing her temple lightly. "Does that mean you're ready to tell the rest of the team? I think it's time. We have to start wedding planning soon." He mentioned. Victoria simply nodded but didn't give a verbal answer.

"Tomorrow." Bucky chimed in with. He wanted to get it over with sooner rather than later, that way he could enjoy their fiance in public and not just in their apartments.

"Tomorrow." Steve agreed.

Victoria ended up falling asleep on the couch against Steve, making both of them chuckle. But they knew she'd had a long day. Bucky went ahead and got ready for bed while she rested against Steve, but he took her from Steve when he was done. He carried her into bed and curled up with her while Steve got himself ready for bed.

** A/N **
This is the shortest chapter on any story I've written and I'm sorry. I'm stuck between a writers block and actually not knowing how to end the story.

When I wrote this story, I knew exactly how it was going to end...and it wasn't a happy ending. But now I feel like yall would come at me with pitchforks if I wrote that ending 😂
