Beyond Saving Bucky

The Cabin pt 3

Bucky's POV:

The rest of our time away is spent the same: we go on rides, explore during the day, cooking dinner together. Dancing, playing games, and at night we make love by the fire.

We get up on our final day there, and enjoy the peace and quiet with each other until we have to head back to the compound later today.

Bucky: "so we leave again tomorrow for a few days...."

Olivia: "I know baby" she replies as she's finishing the toast off of her plate.

Bucky: "I just....I want to make sure you're ok when I'm not there...."

Olivia: "That's sweet Buck....but I'm good! I'll be fine while you guys are gone"

Bucky: "Just...me this time. Steve is staying behind this time."

Olivia: "Why isn't he going?"

Bucky: "Well, we talked about it and thought we would trade off. One of us stays with you each time. Tony was fine with it."

Olivia: "Bucky, that's really sweet of you guys but you don't have to do that. I'll be ok.  I am a full grown ass woman who can take care of herself." She quips.

Bucky: "This coming from the woman who couldn't use her words to ask me to hold her with both arms...just....flailed and pouted until I figured it out...."

Olivia: "That is NOT how that went!"

Bucky: "That's EXACTLY how that went" I grin at her. She reaches over and takes a piece of bacon off of my plate. "....and now she's stealing  my food..."

Olivia: "yours tastes better"

Bucky: "...It's the same food!!"

Olivia: "nu uh"

I can't help but grin and slide my plate across the table to her, letting her have it. She glares at it for a moment and then pushes it away.

Olivia: "no....its not the same now..."

I shake my head, "I fucking can't with you" I stand and turn to exit the room, unable to hold back my laughter.

We shower and get dressed, finish packing our bags and put everything together in the living room for Happy to take back. We walk outside to the bike and as I climb on, I hold out my hand to her,  she stops.

Olivia: "Wait!"

Bucky: "what's wrong, babe?"

She pouts, and asks "how am I gonna get my flowers? There's so many and I wanna take them back!"

Bucky: "Liv, I will make sure Happy grabs them"

Olivia: "Ok" she replies, continuing to walk towards me but stops again, "well what about my blanket?"

Bucky: "Baby, we put it with our bags. He will get it. I promise"

Olivia: "oh right, ok" she smiles and takes a few more steps, but stops. AGAIN. "But wait what..."

Bucky: "oh my god, get on the bike, Liv!" I laugh. She looks at me.

Olivia: "ewwwww" she whines, and all I see is Alexis Rose as a brunette giving me a death stare.

Bucky: "baby I'm sorry." I laugh, "it's just, we have to get going. It's a 2 hour ride back and we are gonna hit traffic". She stares at me for a moment before stomping towards the bike.

Olivia: "Fine. But I don't like you right now..."

Bucky: "Great, let's not like me from the back of the bike."

I extend my hand out to help her on the bike, which she doesn't take and proceeds to climb on herself. I just grin and shake my head, "god, you are such a fucking brat" I laugh.

We arrive back at the compound a little before 5. I stopped to get her lunch, and tried to share my fries with her, she refused. God she's so cute when she's mad.

As I step off the elevator, I see Happy has already made it back with our things.

I carry the bags back up to our room as she continues to ignore me.

Wanda finishes making dinner and we all meet in the kitchen. When I walk in, I see Liv has already taken her seat next to Steve, and I take the open seat next to her.

Everyone is sitting around talking, eating, enjoying the meal. When I glance to my right, Olivia is staring daggers at me...and I can't help but smile at how fucking adorable she is. I take a bite of food and offer it to her. She doesn't take it, instead reaches over to Steve's plate, grabbing a bite off of his plate, all while keeping her eyes on me.

Steve wraps his arm around her as he continues conversation with the others. I offer her another bite, and again, she reaches over taking another bite from Steve's plate. He glances down and watches as she's stealing little bits of his food, and gives me a quizzical look.

Steve: "what is happening?" He whispers to me as he points to the plate Liv has sitting in front of her, untouched. I keep my eyes on Steve as I offer her another bite, again...she reaches for his plate.

Nat: "um.....I'm....what is happening?"

Sam: "Yea, I thought that was supposed to be like...a relaxing trip...."

Her eyes still glaring at me.

Tony: "The whole trip wasn't like this, was it? Cause I hope you didn't ruin the juju in my cabin with your attitude..."

Steve: "hey sweetheart, you ok?"

She turns to him and replies "well...Bucky yelled at me and then told me I'm not an adult so..."

Steve's gaze lands on me, and I almost spit out my food as I laugh.

Bucky: "baby, that is not what happened"

Olivia: "That's EXACTLY what happened!"

Nat: "Bucky, what did you do??"

Bucky: "Ok wait a second...."

Scott: "So you called her a child?"

Bucky: "no, listen..."

Steve: "Liv I'm sure that's not what he meant"

Bucky: "Thank you, Steve. And I didn't yell at you. You were asking...just...a lot of child...like....questions while I was trying to get us out of the house"

Olivia: "see!"

Bucky: "I didn't call you a child...you're the one who called yourself a grown ass woman remember? I agree that you're an adult...just sometimes...you need an...adultier adult...."

Olivia: "is that what you are? An adultier adult?"

Bucky: "well....I mean...yea..."

Olivia: "Funny....cause I take you for more of a geriatric patient..."

Steve: "ok wait, Liv..."

Bucky: "yea...careful doll....Steves included in that statement...." I grin.
