"She said she wanted to watch a movie." Nat said, pulling the blankets out of the cabinet. Everyone stood in the kitchen area finishing their chinese.

"What are we going to watch because I vote no to the Great Gatsby, Rogers." Clint spoke up.

"What? We only watched it once?" Steve said offended.

"And that was already one time too many." Sam deadpanned.

"So what do we watch then? Any ideas?" Bruce interjected.

"How about The Hobbit." Y/n answered from the doorway. Everyone looked over. Steve got up and walked over putting a hand on her back.

"How are you feeling?" He said softly.

I could tell Steve was beating himself up about the whole thing. We had gotten really close after Bucky ended things but lately it feels like we hadn't seen each other. He really felt like a big brother.

"Good. Excited for this. I miss hanging out with you guys." Everyone smiled. I knew they missed when things weren't always so serious. I couldn't help but notice how distant Sam was. He never even looked in my direction, too interested in twirling his chopsticks.

"I actually am down for a little fantasy action." Tony said. I picked the movie because I knew that both Steve and Bucky hadn't watched it but they both had been enamored with the book when it came out.

"Perfect. I can go to the store and get some snacks for you guys-"

"Already done" Nat stopped me. She pointed to the bags of popcorn and candy next to the sink. I smiled. Nat was so underrated.

"Okay, let's get started then." Everyone made their way to the couch and I waited for Bucky. He probably needed a little alone time. I wanted him to sleep after being up all night last night. I settled in the love seat that I knew he would join me on eventually. The movie started and I hummed. I felt so happy being with everyone. It's crazy what 2 years can do to a person. It wasn't that long ago that we were all strangers. It was only a few minutes when I felt a dip in the couch and arms wrapped around me.

"Hi, doll. What are we watching?"

"The Hobbit." I answered.

"Really?" His eyes lit up. I nodded.

"Who chose it? I really wanted to watch." He said eyes glued to the screen.

"I did." He pulled me closer so that my head was on his chest. We sat like that for a long time. Everyone was really into the movie, laughs filled the room when Merry and Pippin set off the dragon fireworks and Gandalf scolded them. At some point I fell asleep. I was woken up by Nat's hand on my forearm.

"Hi." She smiled.

"Hi." I smiled back. I looked over to see Bucky fast asleep on my arm.

"How long have we been out?" I whispered to not wake him up.

"A half hour. The movie ended a few minutes ago. We are going to play a game in the other room if you guys want to join." I nodded. She left and I touched Bucky's face softly. His eyes opened slowly and he seemed like he didn't want to be woken. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Hi, sleeping beauty. We are gonna play a game in the other room." He nodded still groggy. He lifted his head and I stood up to be yanked back down. I laughed.

"Not so fast." He brought me under him and his stumble touched my jaw.

"I believe it is very rude to wake someone up. You have to pay the price." He smiled.

"Oh and what price would that be?" I laughed a hand in his hair.

"Cleanup!" Before I knew what was happening he ripped himself from me and ran into the other room.
