Stucky One Shots

Number Eighteen- Last Minute Adjustments

"Okay, is the cake done?" Steve asks Clint Barton quickly, looking around distractedly at everything else.

"All done, cap." He nods and Steve nods back. It was Bucky's birthday and Steve wanted it to be a good one. Since Bucky had missed out on so many because he'd been the Winter Soldier Steve wanted this one to be perfect for his friend.

"And the music?" He asks, looking at Tony, who rolls his eyes.

"Gotcha covered, Steve. Like I said earlier, I got all your oldies music." He explains and Steve nods, sighing a little.

"He's still at the park with Sam?" He asks Nat and she nods.

"We've got everything covered, Steve." She assures. He rubs his neck and sighs a little, he smiles at them apologetically.

"Sorry, guys, I just want this to be great for him." Steve sighs.

"It will be. It's Bucky, he'll love whatever you do for him, Steve." Natasha explains and the blonde nods, relaxing a little.

Bucky runs around the track with Sam quietly, passing him on his right. He and Steve teased Sam with that all the time; Steve passed him on the left and Bucky covered the right.

"Ha! I got you, sucka! On your left!" Sam hollers as he passes him. Bucky smirks and picks up his pace, he races past on Sam's right and Sam swears.

"Don't pick races with a super soldier, Sam!" He calls over his shoulder, smirking. Sam huffs and rolls his eyes, wondering how much longer he needed to keep this up until they were ready.

"Okay, we all good? Okay, everybody, they're coming in." Natasha whispers, turning the lights off. Steve looks around.

"Guys, we're missing something." Steve frowns. He sighs when he sees the decorations weren't up above the door, and Sam and Bucky were just outside.

Steve sneaks over and freezes when he hears Bucky's voice pause. He peers out the window to see them outside talking. Steve ducks down to avoid being seen and sneaks up the ladder to quickly hang the decorations above the door.

"Steve, careful!" Nat hisses, just as the door opens. The door swings open and knocks the ladder, and Steve stumbles a little, losing his balance. The Avengers jump out and shout surprise as Steve and the ladder crash to the floor. Bucky flicks the light on and his eyes widen when he sees the blonde there, tangled in decorations. Steve looks up and smiles sheepishly, he waves a little and Bucky smiles.

"Smooth, Steve, real smooth." Bucky smiles, kneeling down beside him. He lifts a piece of colourful string off of Steve's face and the blonde smiles a little, shrugging.

"Happy Birthday, Buck." He says, getting to his feet and brushing himself off. Bucky hugs him and the blonde hugs him back.

"It's great, everybody. Thank you." He says to them all.

"Thank you." He repeats to Steve, pulling back. Steve smiles and nods.

"Anything for you, Buck." He replies and the brunette smiles and actually blushes a little. They go and start the party, and it was one of the best memories Bucky had.
