She spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out with Bucky, trying to distract their minds until the bombers made their way back. Of course they were excited for when they did make it back but there is always the worry in the back of their heads. They made their way to the watch tower and sat on the gated balcony, legs handing over the edge and arms crossed over the railing. 

"I genuinely don't know how you do it", she says in a slightly surprised tone.

"Are you calling me unattractive?" Bucky responds, adding a hurt tone to his voice intentionally.

"No, I'm just confused on how you get so many girls to go to bed with you", she laughs. "I mean come on, every single party Bucky".

"Most women can't resist my charm", he said confidently.

"And what about the ones who can?", she raises her eyebrow in question.

"Well, until now, you're the only one who has".

"I guess I'm special then".

He smiled, and she looked out onto the field. He looks over at her and whispers, "Very", clearly admiring the woman who had him wrapped around her finger.

"I can see them!", someone yells from inside the tower. Bucky and Y/N stand up looking at the sky, counting the planes coming in. Fortunately, the majority made it back as we only lost about 4 crews. They run down the stairs and hop in Bucky's jeep making their way to Buck's plane, Curt's and Crosby's being nearby which makes her sigh in relief.  They see Buck hop out of the cockpit and make his way over to us.

"There he is!" Bucky yells at buck which makes him smile.

"Mind if I join you?", Buck asks.

"Take my seat", Y/N says. "I'm gonna go see some of the other guys", she jumps out and pats Buck on the shoulder.

"Leaving so soon?" Buck and Bucky ask at the same time.

"I'll see you both after interrogation", she waves and starts walking to the other bombers. She sees curt and smiles, happy he made it back. She runs over to him. "Curt!"

He looks over at her and smiles, dropping his bag and opening his arms. She wraps her arms around his shoulders, holding onto him tightly when he spins her around. 

"Hey Angel", he says after he puts her down. "Miss me?"

"How could I not?"

"Hey, the ladies love my company, I don't make the rules", he says smugly putting his arms up to mock surrender.

"Do they really?"

"I'm hurt."

The truck picking up the crew honks as some boys yell at Curt to get in. 

"I'll see you after?", he asks.

"Definitely."

He nods and picks up his bag, walking to the truck. He takes his seat and closes the barrier at the back of the truck, signaling it to drive off. Y/N looks up at he sky noticing the sun would set soon. She makes her way across the field and to the base. She walks around to the back end where there was a plane that Lemmons was working on. Thankfully, no one was there as she enjoyed siting on the plane wing to collect her thoughts. She climbs her way up to the the wing and takes a seat, leaning her back against the body of the plane. She watches the sun drop over the horizon leaving the sky to look like an art piece. She must've fallen asleep since she was awoken by the sounds of cheering men. It isn't abnormal considering the pilots and crew would throw a party after every mission they went on. She swung off the plane wing and made her way inside the bar, noticing a ring of men singing and crowding a familiar head of brown curls. She pushes through the crowed standing beside Buck. (Ignore the fact it was in Ireland and Buck wasn't there)
