Butterfly (Bucky x Reader)

Tony's offer

"What's the plan for today, you two?" Steve asked during breakfast.

"We're not sure. We didn't really get around to talking about it yet" you looked at Bucky, and you could tell what his plans were already by the way he was looking at you.
"We usually go to the farmer's market on the weekend, that's an idea" Bruce offered.
"That actually sounds really nice" you hummed over the thought. "I also have to do my laundry tomorrow night once I get back to my apartment. It's a full work week ahead of me" you sighed.
"What if you moved over here?" Bucky asked quickly.
"That's a fantastic idea" Tony chimed in automatically.
"I don't know, is there an apartment available?" you looked at Tony.
"Yes," he nodded.
"How about we talk about this a little more in detail tonight?" Bucky seemed to want to talk about it more in private.
"Sure" you were a little confused. It seemed to be a no-brainer. You would be closer to work, and just have to walk back to the other compound to eat.
"What about the employee cafeteria in this building?" you asked Tony.
"No, you'd be eating here" Tony shook his head. "I don't think anyone would see anything wrong with it," he added.
"You wouldn't be eating alone at mealtimes" Bucky said softly. "It's a pro," he grinned.
"Maybe" you said, trying to think of cons. There was a lot in favor of being at Compound A. You'd be closer to Bucky, and if Steve needs you, you are right there. "I mean, if an apartment is available it wouldn't be that bad. I'd just have to move everything" you hummed to yourself, barely paying attention to the food you were putting in your mouth.
"We will talk about it after," Bucky said in a hushed voice.
"I'll pay for movers, you won't even have to lift a finger. It will all be done while you are working" Tony offered quickly.
"Yes, thank you for that, but there's a lot to pack too" you wrinkled your nose.
"I'll have them take care of that too" he said, frowning that you were hesitating.
"Can I have the day to think about it?" you asked.
"Open invitation" Tony nodded.
"So, farmers market?" Bucky asked hopefully.
"Yes, most definitely" you nodded happily with that decision.
"I'm going to go to the art store and pick up some more supplies," Steve murmured to himself.
"I'd love to see your work sometime" you said with a large smile on your face.
"Sure, I'd be honored," he grinned. "I've been working on a new painting I think you'll like."
"Is it a wolf?" you giggled.
"Yes, a white wolf," he admitted.
"My white wolf?" you asked.
"Yes," he nodded.
"I'd love to see it!" you said enthusiastically.
"Once it's done" he promised. You danced in your chair happily and went back to eating.

On the way to the farmers market, Bucky held your hand a majority of the way and kept clearing his throat as though he was planning on asking you something. Once he parked, you had enough.
"What is it?" you asked, turning towards him.
"I want you to move in with me" he blurted out. "I don't want you in another apartment. I like waking up to you and I like going to bed with you. I like that our cats get along so well, and I could put in some bookshelves if that's what you need. I can even paint the walls whatever color you want. Pink too if that's what you want. I just don't want to spend a night without you and I don't know how to tell you that without coming off as needy" he admitted.

"You're not coming off as needy" you giggled. "Are you sure you're ready for that step?" you asked him, wondering the same for yourself.
"With you, yes. I'm ready" he nodded, looking at you earnestly.
"Can I think about it?" you asked him.
"Yes, of course, I know you need time to think about taking such a big step in our relationship and honestly I don't see it working out with anyone else except you" he nodded.
You hesitated for a moment and then took his hand.
"Yes, I'll move in with you," you smiled.
"Really?!" he exclaimed.
"Yes, but you need more bookshelves," you warned him.
"That's the best news of the day!" He pulled you in and kissed you hard on the lips. He pulled you over the center console and onto his lap as he continued to explore your lips. You giggled and wrapped yourself around him more with the steering wheel going into your back and hip. "Too bad we are in public" he said, his eyes darkening with lust again.
"Oh no baby, I'm not missing out on getting some goodies and new books" you giggled. "Can I use your fridge?" you asked.
"Our fridge, and yes. What did you want?" he asked.
"Strawberries" you said softly. "Peaches too" you flushed.
"I'll buy everything they've got" he proclaimed and you laughed.
"I can't eat that much silly" you slowed to a giggle. "Maybe just a little to last for the week."
"And then we can go to the grocery store and get some more" he couldn't wipe the grin off of his face if he tried.
"That sounds exciting," you smiled. "We could also order it in" you offered.
"And miss out on the chance to show this amazing dame on my arm?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Alright, but if we are busy I'm ordering in" you curled into him some more.
"Did you still want to go?" he asked you.
"Yes, but the steering wheel is hurting me," you admitted finally. He immediately picked you up and put you back in your seat.
"Wait for me" he told you and got out of the car and ran around to open your door. You got out and pulled down on your skirt at the same time. Bucky proudly took your hand and you followed him towards the market.

The first place the two of you stopped was the fruit stall and you picked up a few quarts of strawberries, plums, and peaches. Bucky opted to run back to the SUV with your goodies and you waited patiently until he came back. He then took your hand and walked beside you. He grabbed a beautiful bouquet of flowers for you, and you happily carried them in your opposite hand, touched at the loving gesture. You stopped to get a blue vase that was hand crafted and perfect for his apartment. It had little tiny butterflies painted into it that just added to its uniqueness.
You spotted another stall with homemade pet toys, and you couldn't help yourself and bought some catnip toys for Alpine and Melody. Bucky paid before you had the chance at every vendor and you couldn't help but giggle.
"Oh Bucky!" you exclaimed when you saw homemade quilts for sale, and one had a house pattern in a variation of blues and pinks. "We should get that for the bedroom" you said excitedly.
"Whatever you want, my butterfly" he grinned.
"It would be perfect" you picked up the pace walking towards the quilt. You studied it closely once you were close enough. It was king size so it would be perfect for the bed. Bucky just picked it up off the quilt rack and paid for it. They folded it for both of you and put it into a large bag before handing it over. Bucky opted to carry it and you wanted to swoon.
You continued walking hand in hand for a bit, and you stopped a few times to look at different crafts and wares that were being offered. You had already made up your mind that you wanted some books and you were determined that you would pay for them this time.
"Are you going to tell Tony you decided to move in with me?" Bucky asked as you spied the books.
"I'll text him now" you said, letting go of his hand so you could write to him. You sent Tony the text you decided to move in with Bucky and he wrote back right away and told you that you would be moved in on Monday. You showed the text to Bucky and he grinned victoriously. You gave him a small kiss on the cheek and headed to the book stall. You really had to comb through the books until you found a few good romances that looked well loved. You picked out five to read for the week, although around Bucky you didn't get much of a chance to do reading lately. You did manage to pay for it while Bucky was fumbling to get his wallet out and you grinned happily to yourself.
"I won" you proclaimed happily.
"For now. I know for a fact you have a bunch of books in your cart on Amazon you haven't bought yet. And on Chapters website too" he grinned.
"Have you been looking at my phone?" you gasped.
"Maybe" he wiggled his eyebrows. "I was bored while you were sleeping" he admitted.
"I'll allow it" you rolled your eyes. "I don't have anything to hide anyways" you shrugged.
"Neither do I. My passcode is 1917" he told you.
"I'm not snooping on your phone right now, I'm going to forget it" you giggled.
"Just so you have it for later" he winked.
"Alright Sargent, both our hands are full. Let's head back home" you held up your package happily.
"Lead the way, doll" Bucky chuckled and kissed you on the cheek as you started to lead the way back to the SUV.
