Falling Into Your Life {Avengers/Bucky Barnes}

Deep Sleeper Is A Winner

I open my eyes and scan my room. Sunlight pouring through the window. I remember Bucky falling asleep in my room.

His arm is draped over my body, trapping me to the bed. I run my hand through his long, soft hair. I try to lift up his real arm off of me but it won't move. I clear my throat before talking.

"Bucky." I whisper.

"Hmm." Is all he says in response. A smile creeps into his face and I know he's trapping me on purpose.

"Okay, okay. You win. I'll stay a little longer." I give in.

***

"Bucky. We gotta get up." I say in my normal voice. No response. He must be a deep sleeper. "Bucky. Come on." I slip out from under his arm, but I fall to the ground. I lay there for a while before finally getting up. "Fine. You can stay there." I laugh at his sleeping form. I take off my shirt and pull on a different, more cleaner t-shirt. I pull off my pants and put on a pair of denim shorts. I throw the dirty clothes in the hamper. I walk to the bathroom and brush my hair and brush my teeth.

*BUCKY'S P.O.V*

"Bucky. We gotta get up." Carter says a little louder than last time, waking me up. I don't move or respond to her. "Bucky. Come on."

She slips out from under my arm, but falls to the ground. I struggle to keep my laugh in. If I laugh it would blow my cover. She lays there for a while before finally getting up. "Fine. You can stay there." I hear her laugh before it gets really quiet. I take a quick peek before opening my eyes. I watch her take off her shirt. She has scars on her back. Most of them are likely from the torture KNEEL gave her, but then there is the one in her stomach The Winter Soldiers did. She then pulls on a different t-shirt. She pulls off her pants. Again, more scars. Why does it have to be like this? She is gorgeous and beautiful but she hides herself just because of some scars. Then she puts on a pair of denim shorts. She throws the dirty clothes in the hamper. She walks to the bathroom. I silently get out of the bed and I open the bedroom door. I walk out in the hallway and bump into someone.

"Sorry." I say before looking at the person; Steve.

"Bucky? What were you doing in there?" Steve asks as he crosses his arms.

"I was sleeping. In her room. With her. But not in that-"

"I know." He starts to walk down the hallway again. I follow him and he continues talking. "How is it going with you two?"

"It wasn't- she asked me to stay last night." I say without looking at Steve.

"I-" I cut him off.

"I don't know, really. We don't talk that much. She- I kissed her. She didn't seem mad. And we've been through so much. Well, it wasn't a lot but we saved each other. She tried to save me from HYDRA but she couldn't. And she was The Demented Warrior. And-" I am cut off from my babbling.

"You should ask her out to dinner. Well, I wouldn't take dating advice from me, especially since I got it from you." Steve and I both laugh. "I think she likes you, Bucky."

"You think so? What if she says no. I can't anyways." I say really fast.

"Why not?"

"Because we are in lockdown..."

"Make her food then." Steve walks away. Make her food.

I walk down the hallway and I walk out to one of the kitchens. Natasha is in there eating breakfast.

"Hey." She says before taking a night of her food.

"Anything good in here?" I ask.

"If you count frosted flakes to be good." She says swallowing the rest of her food. Carter walks out into the kitchen and pushes me out to the living room.

"I'm making breakfast." She grabs a pan and a waffle maker.

***

The smell of wonderful food travels through out the tower. Everyone is sitting at the table as she serves us food.

"She can cook." Steve nudges me. I laugh as she serves my plate. She passes me a smile as she sits down. Her plate being served last.

"No weapons of any kind at the table. Thor?" She raises her eyebrows.

"What?"

"That includes your hammer." He frowns and puts it on the floor.

"Eat." She smiles as she shoves the waffle in her mouth. No one talks the whole time, they are to busy shoving delicious eggs, sausage and waffles into their mouths.

*CARTER'S P.O.V.*

I am trying to find Tony. My shower doesn't work. I walk into his work shop and spot him messing around with a suit.

"Tony." I say and he looks at me.

"What did I say about coming in here? Do not come in here."

"Why does my shower not work?" I roll my eyes and he raises his eyebrows at me.

"Because it doesn't... I'll fix it, just use a different shower." I stomp off up to Bucky's room with my clean clothes. I quickly turn on the shower and walk in.

***

I get out of the shower and get nervous when I can't find a towel. I decide to ask JARVIS where the towels are, since this isn't my house.

"JARVIS, where are the towels?"

"It appears there are none, ma'am." He responds. Shit!

"Can you call Mr.Barnes to his room? Make sure he has a towel, too please."

"All ready done, Ms. Mc'Cottney."

"Thank you." I smack my forehead. Why didn't I check for a towel?

I hear the bedroom door open. I peek my head out of the bathroom door.

"Hi." I reach my hand out for the towel.

"Why are you in my room? Naked." He asks as I begin to shut the door.

"I needed to take a shower." I start to dry off with the towel.

"Why in my bathroom?"

"Because mine doesn't work." I pull on my undergarments and pull on my clothes. I walk out of the bathroom. "And because I like to be in your room naked." I bite my lip as I flip my hair to the side and continue drying it off. He blushes, but he doesn't say anything. He just stands there watching me.

"Take a picture. It will last longer." I say flipping my hair to the other side.

"I was wondering... Do you want to go on a date with me? Here. And I'll make you food." He says and I look at him.

"Yeah, tonight?" I ask.

"Yes." He says with a smile on his face.

"It's a date."
