Butterfly (Bucky x Reader)

Cuddles and emails

"Please come in" you stood back and he smirked as he came in. He kicked off his combat boots and you took his hand leading him to the couch. "Did you just get in?" you asked.
"Well, they landed the jet and I ran off the back without asking if they needed help with anything. I might get in trouble for that one" he chuckled and sat down. Without prompting you sat on his lap and nuzzled into the side of his neck. If you could, you would have purred in satisfaction.
"What were you in such a hurry for?" you asked, your voice muffled because your lips were in the curve of his neck.
"This, right here" he squeezed you in a bit tighter. "I had to go in on the mission, and just needed a moment's peace" he said, his voice hoarse. "What did you get into while I was gone?" he asked, looking over and admiring the two dozen roses on your coffee table before bringing his full attention back to you.
"Well, I had a surprise lunch" you said with flushed cheeks. "I met Nat and Wanda," you admitted. "They were wonderful, and they invited me to go shopping with them next weekend" you said, a little bit of excitement dancing in your eyes.
"It's about time" he kissed your forehead. "Look at you finally talking to someone besides Steve" he chuckled.
"Steve is my boss" you frowned. "So are you, technically."
"A scandalous office romance, could be like one of your books" he nuzzled into your hair.
"It is, technically" you giggled as he started peppering kisses along the shell of your ear affectionately. "The only thing missing is you being a secret millionaire" you giggled. You felt him pause and move a little uncomfortably. "Bucky?" you asked, a little worriedly.
"It's not really a secret," he said.
"What?!" you asked in shock.
"The government paid for all that time that I was a prisoner of war, and then Tony pays us pretty handsomely, and then there's danger pay...." he trailed off and your jaw was open. "I could retire tomorrow and still be comfortable for the rest of my life, and have money left over" he shrugged like it was no big deal. "I just didn't know what I would do. Now I'm thinking about raising kids and buying a house with a white picket fence" he kissed you on your temple.
"With who?" you asked, a flare of jealousy coming up.
"Just you" he hummed.
"Isn't it a bit early to say that?" you asked.
"Probably" he chuckled. "But that's all I'm thinking about" he admitted. "I was thinking of a nice house in the suburbs at first, and then I realized that's probably a bad idea for your wolf. So then I thought, a nice cottage out in the woods, close enough to the compound so you can still work if you want to and everyone can come over to visit. The house would be in both our names of course, so if anything ever happens, the other one is taken care of" he said and you looked at him in shock.
"You've really got this planned out" you were astounded.
"Sweetheart, I don't know if you know this. But I fell in love with a woman in a bar with a blue butterfly tattoo the moment I laid eyes on her. I've been planning our future ever since" he said with sincerity.
"The feeling is mutual," you said shyly.
"Good, because when we are ready to say it a little more frankly, know that I love you more" he winked. You curled into him, trying to digest all of the information and he nuzzled you. You felt his hands go wandering towards your ass, so you jutted it out a bit and sat more on your hip. He grabbed a handful and squeezed playfully, not saying a word. You yelped a little in surprise and he chuckled but then kissed your temple again. "Okay, I feel a bit better now. I'd better go before Steve gets mad" he said softly.
"It's hard to imagine him angry," you said, bringing your face up to look at him more closely.
"It's not easy, but I know all of his last nerves personally" he chuckled. "Kiss?" he asked. You put your hand on one side of his cheek and kissed him softly on the lips. He pulled you in closer and deepened the kiss automatically and you hummed against his lips. You heard his phone vibrating in his vest and he pulled back and took out his phone and scowled at it. "Hold that thought until tomorrow" he gave you another brief, but chaste kiss on the lips. You smiled and got off of his lap and he gave you a playful light slap on your ass before he groaned. "I can't wait to find the rest of your tattoos" he licked his lips and went and put his boots back on.
"Good night Bucky" you said, watching him closely.
"Good night doll, I'll see you at work in the morning" he waved and let himself out. You went and locked the door before heading directly to bed, because tomorrow can't come fast enough.

Waking up Friday morning, you felt energized. You gave Melody her wet food after taking a shower and getting ready for the day. You put on a black pencil skirt with a red blouse, and added a black cardigan to set it off. You put on your well worn kitten heels and went to breakfast, grabbing something for lunch while you were at it.
When you got to the office, Steve wasn't in yet. You knew he was likely at breakfast, or had a very late night. You sat down to start going over the reports from Pietro, Peter and Vision's mission. The new mission reports from yesterday weren't in yet. You did have a few emails to browse over as well. One of them was addressed specifically to you, and you opened it. It was from Nick Fury, asking if you could get a day off to come to Shield for the day again. You bit your bottom lip, and saw that it was for Monday he was requesting. You forwarded the email to Tony and Steve even though they had access to your mailbox. You had a feeling it was either self defense with Maria again, or it was another mission. You weren't comfortable with missions, but if you could help, you would.
You got lost into your reports as you started working again, trying to make sure all the details were added appropriately. Vision's you didn't have to worry about, but sometimes Peter or Pietro would miss a detail or two.
"No, absolutely not!" Bucky said, coming into the office a while later.
"Huh?" you looked over in surprise.
"I'm with him. No, we are not sending you to Shield again" Steve walked in behind him. Bucky leaned down and gave you a quick kiss on the lips and went to his side of the desk where his computer was waiting.
"I think it should be up to her. Good morning. That's a better way of putting it" Tony walked in behind the two of them.
"Good morning" you gave a bright smile. "For the record, I think you should let me go," you said.
"Done" Tony said with flourish.
"No, we need to talk about this. Last time resulted in a bullet hole" Steve shook his head.
"He said he wanted to go over self defense with Maria again the last time I talked to him. It's fine" you assured them, not one hundred percent sure of that yourself.
"Can we confirm that?" Steve asked Tony.
"I tried to ask him what it was for, and he said I wasn't cleared for it" he frowned. "Luckily I have access to all of Shields' files" he said looking at his phone. "I do not see Fury or Maria scheduled for anything that day" he said after a quick search. "His calendar is completely booked for an appointment, but it doesn't say what."
"See, nothing to worry about" you gave a bright smile. "It could be helping him get caught back up on paperwork too" you said a little hopefully.
"If it's for a mission, will you let me know?" Bucky asked you worriedly.
"If I'm able" you promised. You knew some missions were deep cover and you wouldn't be able to tell him until after.
"I'm approving it," Tony said quickly.
"We should talk about this more," Steve said with a heavy sigh. "We need more information," he added.
"Y/N will tell us if it's dangerous" Tony said, seeming so sure of himself.
"If I can" you corrected him.
"Do I need to put a tracker on you too?" Tony asked and you looked at him shocked. "I will if I have to," he added.
"It doesn't hurt too bad," Bucky said reassuringly to you. "Just a small cut on your arm and they put in this little capsule, then put your arm in the regeneration machine to heal it up" he explained.
"I'll keep that in mind" you said, bringing your attention back to the reports on your computer screen.
"There, sent" Tony said, and you looked at your email to see that Tony sent the approval and cc'd Wanda on it to add to the calendar. "But if it's another mission we are putting a tracker on you" he warned you.
"Noted" you nodded.
"So you and Bucky" Tony said, pulling up a chair.
"Tony, you promised" Steve looked pained.
"When are you coming to supper?" Tony asked, and you looked at him in shock.
"I have supper in compound B as per my contract" you pointed out.
"I insist, come to supper tonight. I'll email the team you agreed" Tony stood up and walked out.
"Wait, but I didn't..." you trailed off, your mouth still open in shock.
"Finally" Bucky sighed happily.
"Tony always gets what he wants," Steve sighed heavily.
"Does he even know how to take no for an answer?" you asked.
"No, not really" Bucky shook his head. "He gets it from his dad," he said.
"Yeah, he really does. Howard was the same way back in the day" Steve quickly agreed. "Pepper gets to say no to Tony all the time, but he doesn't necessarily listen" Bucky added in.
"I'll have to talk to Pepper then" you said, going back to your computer.
"You'll meet her tonight, doll" Bucky gave you a loving smile, but seemed excited at the prospect of having you join him for supper. He reached across the desk for your hand, and you reached over and clasped your fingers with his. He winked at you and ran his thumb over your knuckles in a loving gesture. Without saying a word, he had managed to soothe your nerves.
