Imagine going fishing and catching one of these O.o
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one-shot and have a Bucky-filled day :)
________________________________________________________________________________
"What are oh-re-roos?" Bucky thrusted a packet of oreos right in front of your face, still unaware of most modern day technology and products Bucky constantly relied on you to help him out but you didn't mind, in fact you quite liked being needed.
"Oreos Buck are delicious chocolate biscuits with heavenly cream in the middle, do you want to try these too?" Bucky nods his head slightly in response as you put the oreos in the trolley full of various modern day luxury foods, as well as some essentials the Avenger's tower desperately needed.
"Excuse me." a small voice squeaked out of nowhere; so you automatically turn around to find the source which turned out to be a boy no older than 5 with tufty sandy hair and huge green eyes. His small hands were tugging on Bucky's sleeve to get his attention which Bucky clearly did not enjoy.
"Yes? Are you lost?" Bucky jerked his left arm away from the child and rolled his eyes.
"No, I just wanted to see your arm, it looks shiny." the boy pulled a raggedy teddy close to his chest and you gave Bucky a stern look, he better be nice with this random child.
"Look kid I'm sorry to disappoint you but-"
"-If it helps my name's Ben but my friends call me Benny, you can call me Benny." a small giggle escaped your lips, this child was confident. Bucky shot you a confused look, clearly this was an odd situation for him to be in.
"Hi Benny, my name is (y/n) and this is James but you can call us (y/n/n) and Bucky." you crouch down to his level and extend your arm for him to shake and he just grabs a couple of your fingers and wiggles your arm slightly.
"Your arm is nice, but his is shinier. Were you born with it?" you stand up and brush yourself off as Bucky stands there in shock.
"Why would you cover it up with that jacket and that glove when it's so pretty?" the questions just piled up and you were about to send Benny on his way but Bucky acted first.
"Ok, ok. I wasn't born with it my arm came off and it was put on by some doctors-"
"-Wow. I don't want my arm to come off, but having an arm like yours would be so cool! Did it hurt when they put it on because when Stacy pushed me off the slide at school my elbow hurt a lot-" various thoughts began to flash through your head, many of them amusing but some concerning such as where were Benny's parents?
"-Woah woah woah kid, let me finish ok? So now that I had the arm I did some bad things with it and people get scared when they see me with it, so I keep it hidden." Bucky's voice got quieter as an elderly woman went down the aisle so to compensate he knelt down so he was nearer Benny.
"I don't mind, I've done some bad things too, like stealing Mummy's makeup and clothes to play dress-up. I don't think you could be baderer than Stacy because she's really mean." huge smiles were appearing on both of your faces, Benny was adorable.
"Heh ha ha, you're gonna go far Benny." Bucky chuckled as he removed the glove on his left hand for Benny to examine, quickly his little hands dropped his teddy and went straight for Bucky's hand.
"If my arm was like this I bet Stacy would never be mean to me again." Benny separated Bucky's fingers excitedly making Bucky and you chuckle even more.
"Yeah, I bet she wouldn't." you smile as Bucky turns his face up to look at you smiling down at the pair.
"Benny?" you hear a woman shout from behind you, you quickly respond by waving to indicate where Benny was.
"Looks like someone's come looking for you Benny." you say sadly, as you had both grown quite attached to the child, before you knew it a teenage girl with pale blue hair rushed up to us with a young girl and her homemade iron man doll in tow. Bucky slipped his glove back on his hand, much to Benny's disappointment, and stood back up.
"I'm so sorry, did he pester you? Benny I told you not to wander off!" she addressed you at first but quickly turned her attention to disciplining Benny.
"No, not at all. Benny's just a curious kid, that's all." you smile at the young lady who you assumed was his babysitter.
"Well I'm sorry but we have to be going." she grabbed Benny's hand but Benny absolutely refused to let go of Bucky's arm.
"I'm sorry, he's not usually this stubborn." the babysitter tried to pull Benny away but he just clinging to Bucky tighter, so Bucky knelt down again and whispered something into his ear which caused him to let go and grab his teddy obediently.
"Bye bye! Don't be scared to show your arm!" Benny waved as the trio walked off into the depths of the store. You and Bucky both waved them away.
"What did you say to him?" you were curious to what could have possibly been said to get Benny to leave so quickly and with such little force.
"I just told him that if Stacy gave him anymore trouble I would sort it out." you grabbed onto your trolley and strolled down the aisle with Bucky.
"How would he find you again?" you questioned and in reply Bucky rummaged in his jacket pocket and pulled out his Nokia brick.
"Slipped my phone number into his pocket. Hope the kid knows how to use a phone." you are impressed with Bucky's kind heart and quick thinking as well as his ability to connect with children.
"Ever think about having children?" you ask, genuinely curious about Bucky's answer, you weren't too sure yourself but once you saw how Bucky interacted with Benny it made you want to have children of your own.
"Well yes, I used to. After the war I was gonna find the perfect dame and dance off into the sunset, then after a few years we would get married and settle down before starting our own family. I guess fate had other plans, but I'm beginning to see the perks of 21st century living." Bucky scooped up as many sweets as he could carry and plonked them into the trolley you were still pushing.
"But one thing's for sure I did find the perfect dame." Bucky wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you towards him, causing you to let go of the trolley and fall into his arms.
"Bucky! Now is not the time, we have shopping to get on with!" you playfully push him away and put your hands firmly back on the trolley.
"Fine, but we're getting more Pringles!" and before you knew it Bucky was off on a very important mission.
