li. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[a/n: yes, i wrote this on the tube because my boyfriend, (or our boyfriend) james buchanan barnes, is 100. i can't believe i'm in love with a 100 year old.]

"Wake up, wake up, wake up." You tugged at the thick, white duvet Bucky had nuzzled his face into. Pulling it back, you saw the minuscule smile Bucky had tried to hide in an annoyed expression. "What, doll?"

"It's your birthday, Buck. Happy birthday." You placed a gentle kiss to his cheek as he sat up in bed.

"I have a whole day planned for you, old man. All of the Avengers are coming over so I have to get the place ready. I'm gonna make you a nice breakfast and I've got a present for you but you can have it later when-"

Your ramble was cut short when Bucky slung his arm around your waist and pulled you into his chest.

"Or... we could just lay here all day?"

You flipped yourself over in Bucky's grip so you could face him. "But it's your special day. You are literally 100 years old. That's older than anything I own."

He smiled and rolled his eyes at your comment before kissing your forehead gently. "But all I want, on my special day, is to spend time with you."

"That's adorable but I know you well enough to know that you just don't wanna get out of bed."

"That and I love you...." You laughed at Bucky, shoving him playfully as you pulled yourself from his hold. "Come on, I need to keep an eye on you. Make sure you don't break your back or fall down the stairs."

"Ha ha, you're hilarious." Bucky reluctantly pushed the sheets off of himself and strolled towards you.

"You cause any trouble tonight and I'll put you in an elderly home."

"You wouldn't?!" Bucky gasped, sarcastically. You giggled as he rested his arms on your hips and you rested yours on his shoulders.

"You're right, I'd miss you too much."
