[REQUEST - also sorry this took so long but school sucks so...]

You ran a hand along the back of your neck out of frustration and jutted out your bottom lip to blow some air in the direction of your face, attempting to cool yourself down. You were trying to complete an extensive stack of paperwork for your fellow Avengers but you didn't anticipate it would be this stressful. Truthfully, you only accepted everyone's pleads to do their paperwork for them because that meant you didn't have to go to another one of Tony's parties. There was only one other Avenger who wasn't going. Bucky.

The two of you had been in a relationship of sorts for a couple of months now; you just hadn't told any of the others. Although sneaking around was fun, it was pretty hard to do whilst living with the most vigilant group of people in the world. Having some time with none of the others could be pretty enjoyable. So by taking up the chance of both of you having the Avengers facility to yourselves, you thought it could be more fun than actually doing paperwork.

You're distracted from your work when a pair of muscular arms wrap around your waist and a soft kiss is pressed to your neck. Your eyes flutter closed and Bucky smirks against your neck. "You done, yet?"

"No, No I'm not." With that, you shove him away, gently, and proceed with the final few pages. You contemplate telling Bucky that you're almost done but the minuscule pout on his lips makes you want him to suffer for a few moments longer. "Not my fault that your bright idea of me saying I'll do the paperwork meant I actually had to do the paperwork."

At first you took, Bucky's lack of response to mean that he agreed but didn't want to admit he was wrong but you began to feel off about his quiet presence beside you. You turned to him before doing a double take, only to realise that he'd just been staring at you the entire time.

"Don't look at me like that."

"Look at you like what?"

"I don't know. You were staring." Bucky simply smiles before moving closer to you and pressing a kiss to your cheek. "I could stare at you all day."

You roll your eyes at how cheesy his comment is but the fact that his eyes never leave you makes you believe that he may not be lying. You shove the discarded pieces of paper to the side and move closer to Bucky, pulling him into a kiss. His hands trail your back before he lifts you up, seating you on the desk you'd previously been working at. Yet, in the midst of your make out session, you're interrupted by the door opening. You push Bucky away and he stumbles backwards in surprise only to see Tony looking at the pair of you unfazed.

"Oh no, don't mind me. Continue." The rest of the residents of the tower file in behind Tony, confused as to why he's stopped at the entrance but all of their faces light up when they follow Tony's eye line to you and Bucky. "Oh my gosh, did they admit they're dating?" Steve smiles with glee and he practically runs to be at the front of the crowd gathering around the pair of you.

"Wait, you guys knew?"

"Of course we knew. Who do you think you're living with?" Clint states, receiving $5 bills from the others.
