I Need to Ask You Something...

Part 6

Bucky had started to grow suspicious of you and Steve. As each day passed, Bucky's birthday drew closer. You and Steve kept meeting with each other in secret, trying to plan out every minute of Bucky's birthday surprise. Bucky hated all the secrecy. It was driving him insane.

On the morning before Bucky's birthday, you stood in the doorway of the apartment talking to Steve who was standing in the hallway.

"Ok, so Nat and I'll be here around 9 tomorrow morning. She'll stay here with James when we are gone, and the three of us will head out for breakfast at the Silver Platter, then to the museum, and then we'll go out for a nice dinner." Said Steve. "Did I forget anything?" You thought for a second and nodded your head.

"You forgot the part about going to the concert in the park at..." You stopped talking when you heard the door to the bathroom open. Bucky had been taking a shower while the two of you had been talking.

"Doll, do you know where my shaving cream is?" Bucky called through the apartment. You turned to Steve, and he waved goodbye before sprinting down the hallway. You quietly closed the door to the apartment and locked it. You put your back against the door and sighed sigh of relief. That was a close one. If Bucky had come into the kitchen, he would have seen you talking to Steve.

"(Y/N)?" You hadn't responded, so Bucky wondered where you were. He came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and came into the kitchen. You were still leaning against the door when he came into the room.

"Why are you leaning against the door?" You slightly jumped when you realized what you were doing. You walked over to the fridge and got out a carton of eggs.

"Oh, it was nothin'." Bucky narrowed his eyes at you and put his hands on his hips. He was becoming very impatient with the whole not knowing what was going to happen the next day thing. Then he got an idea.

When you walked over to another section of the counter to get a spatula out of the drawer, he came up behind you pressing his body against yours, placing his hands on the counter, and trapping you against the counter. He moved his head so that his mouth was right next to your ear. He started to kiss your ear. You started to panic. You and Steve had gone through many possible situations and how to solve them, but Bucky acting all seductive wasn't one of them. As he started to kiss your jaw, you started to feel your knees starting to buckle. You tried to shake yourself out of the trance and somehow turned around to face him.

"Bucky...." You said in a warning tone.

"Doll, what are you and Steve planning for tomorrow?" He said calmly while staring into your eyes. Your knees were starting to shake, but you held your ground. You pushed him away from you and walked back to the stove.

"What's so special about tomorrow?" You said trying to sound nonchalant. He chuckled and followed you.

"It's my birthday tomorrow, remember?" He said putting his head on your shoulder. Now he was trying his "I'm a lovable puppy dog who needs love and attention" ploy. You waited a moment to make it seem like you were thinking before answering.

"Oh, you know, I totally forgot about that, Buck. Too bad you didn't tell me sooner. We could have planned to do something. It's too bad that Steve'll be leaving tomorrow." Bucky looked surprised.

""Steve's leavin' for someplace? Where's he goin'?" Said Bucky.

"Oh, S.H.I.E.L.D. is having him go on a month long mission in Argentina. There is a lot of illegal deportation of rare metals and goods happening there right now. He and Clint are going to go infiltrate a couple of the cargo ships." Bucky looked sad.

"Oh. I guess he was just busy and forgot to tell me." He said quietly as he headed back to the bathroom.

"Hey, Buck." You called to him. He turned around to look at you.

"Your shaving cream is in the cabinet behind the mirror." He chuckled and grinned at you, feeling better.

"Thanks."

Alexander Pierce paced around the room that was considered to be his "office" in the Hydra base where Bucky and you had been kept. He was surrounded by dark, cold walls made of stone. He still couldn't believe that a couple "Avengers" had taken away Hydra's most valuable weapon. He walked over to his desk and sat down. He placed his head in his hands, his elbows resting on the table. He couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his fist down on the table which filled the room with a slamming noise. He picked up the receiver on his phone and called for Nikolai Gregorovick to come into the room.

Nikolai Gregorovick was a very special Hydra agent. While living in Russia as a child at the age of 3, Nikolai was abducted by Hydra and trained from a young age to be a weapon of mass destruction. Born blind in one eye, Hydra corrected his blindness by performing surgery on him, placing a camera inside his right eye socket. From that day on, Nikolai was able to see. The "eye" though was different from a normal eye in that he could zoom in and out as far as he wanted with it, while the other eye still retained the normal range if vision. After the Winter Soldier had been taken, Second Sight (the code name for Nikolai) became Hydra's most valuable asset.

After sitting staring at the wall of the room for a few minutes, Alexander Pierce finally heard the familiar thud of boots in the hall. Standing up to meet Second Sight at the door, Pierce felt proud to know that Hydra still had at least one noteworthy assassin left in their possession, and they had plans to retrieve another one.

Opening up the refrigerator, you saw that there wasn't much milk left. Oh well, you could settle for apple juice. You took the carton out and set it on the counter. Bucky sat at the kitchen table, James in his arms, watching your every move.

"Just give it up, (Y/N). Tell us your secrets. We know that you were lyin' earlier about not doing anything for my Birthday. I bet you were lyin' too about Steve goin' to Argentina. Tell the truth, Doll. Our son is watching and listening." You opened up the cabinet and got out a glass for you and a sippy cup for James. You filled up the cups and gave James his sippy cup.

"Bucky, I don't see why you're making such a mountain out of a molehill! Why can't you just wait like a normal person until tomorrow, your birthday, to find out! Please stop asking!" Bucky looked down at James who was contentedly sucking on his sippy cup.

"It's just that, this is the first birthday I'll have celebrated since being reunited with you. All I could ask for would be getting to spend the day with you, Steve, and James Jr. I just don't want anything to happen. I'm afraid that I'll freak out and go all 'Winter' on all of you." You thought for a moment before a joke popped into your head.

"The cold never bothered me anyway." You spoke/sang to him, quoting Frozen which the two of you had watched a couple days before. He smiled.

"Of course, right when I'm trying to be all serious you have to crack a joke!" He said laughing.

"But you love me anyway, right?" You asked giving him the puppy dog face.

"How could I not love you?"
