Your friends rarely ever visited your apartment. This was one of those rare times. The door knob rattled and your roommate entered the apartment. He'd gone out for a late jog with his best friend, Steve Rogers, as soon as you told him your friends would be in the apartment.
What he never thought was that they had stayed for dinner. You smiled as you patted the space beside you, signaling for Bucky to sit down next to you. You were assigned as his personal therapist and now shared a close relationship.
Natasha smirked before nodding her head at you and Bucky, for Wanda to notice, who just cooed sweetly. The other Avengers had noticed how easily Bucky warmed up to you, and how close of you had become. Although, the only ones who made commotions, often, were Nat and Sam.
Bucky smiled as he took his seat beside you, "Thanks, doll"
The glances Buck and you sent each other weren't subtle, and the other two girls noticed them immediately. After dinner, the girls helped you both clean up the table and volunteered to wash the dishes.
You went to reach for the towel to dry the dishes but Nat's whisper said with a smirk made you leave the room, with an offended expression of your own.

You whined as you watched Bucky enter his bedroom with a towel in hand. "Come to bed," You pouted, patting the space next to you. He walked painfully slow toward you before settling down on the edge of the bed, caressing your hand.
He placed a tender kiss on your forehead before wandering off to the shower shouting a quick 'Almost ready' before you heard the water start running.
Minutes later your eyes lazily opened when you felt the bed sink and saw your boyfriend shirtless wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his head on the crook of your neck, before placing a wet, loving kiss there. You lazily started playing with his hair and placed a kiss on his forehead before your eyelids felt heavy and closed.

A few weeks had passed since Wanda and Nat's visit. Since then, you seemed unable to find the newly bought dishes you had used for the occasion. You searched everywhere. Until there was no remedy, you dialed Nat's number and in no time her voice rang in your ear.
"Hey, love" She purred, you were able to hear the smirk on her face, knowing what you'd ask.
"Hey, Nat. Have you seen the dishes we used a few weeks ago at dinner?"
"What? I thought you'd found them by now," She replied in a mocking tone, after that you heard Wanda's laugh. So, apparently you were on speaker.
"What's so funny?"
"Darlin'," Wanda smiled, "If you'd been sleeping in your own room you'd be able to find them" Your face looked puzzled and, as if they'd read your thoughts, she continued. "They're under your bed's pillow"
"I swear to God, if this is a freaki..." You didn't finish your sentence. Below your pillow, in all their glory, were the fine porcelain dishes you'd bought not so long ago.
On the other line, both laughed before hanging up. Your cheeks flushed red as you knew that they knew everything now. The door to your room creaked open, and walked in your boyfriend. You smiled at seeing him. He wrapped his arms around your waist as you hummed happily at his touch.
That relationship wasn't going to be kept secret from your friends for long, but you had enjoyed that time. Actually, you enjoyed every second you spent near Bucky. And there wasn't anything that could change it.
You turned your head and inhaled his scent. "I. Love. You" You whispered, every word separated by a kiss placed on his jaw.
You were about to place one last one, but he was faster to turn his head and captured your lips on his own.
