The sun shines brightly on the streets of Brooklyn, New York, warming your arms as you stroll down the sidewalk. It was a nice summer day, and you got off work a bit earlier than usual, so you decided to take a walk and look in a few stores.

You stop in front of the clean window of a clothing shop. As you look at the dresses on display, you notice your reflection in the window. You didn't have any money to buy new dresses. All the money you worked for was usually spent on food and necessities. Of course, you had dresses, but they were all getting old. The material of the one you wore today seemed to get thinner and thinner as the days passed.

You admire a light pink colored dress on display, wishing you had some extra spending money. The shop door opens with a jingling of a bell, and three women walk out, all chatting happily and wielding shopping bags.

You look away, averting your eyes down to your shoes. You could still hear the women laughing as they reached the corner of the street. There was no reason to be angry at them. They didn't do anything wrong. But, you couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy towards them and their bulging shopping bags. You turn on your heel and quietly head home.

When you reach the door of your home, you can hear the radio playing inside and the unmistakable voice of Bucky Barnes singing at the top of his lungs.

The sound brings a tired smile to your lips, and you enter. You slip off your shoes by the door and hang up your keys on the hook on the wall.

"I'm home." You call over the beat of the swing music, walking further into the house.

"-Oh!" The volume of the radio turns down considerably, and Bucky appears at the kitchen entrance. "Hey, Baby Doll, how was work?"

"Alright, I guess. Same as usual." You reply, sliding onto a bar stool.

"Could you hear the radio? I didn't know if I was being too loud or not." Bucky asks with a guilty smile, scratching the back of his neck.

"All the way from the door." You reply. "The singing was wonderful."

Bucky blushes a little and laughs sheepishly. "Ms. Daniels probably didn't think so."

"She never does." You grin. Your next door neighbor had a tendency to complain if the music got too loud in your house.

"I thought you were supposed to get off work earlier today?" Bucky asks, turning back to the dinner he was cooking.

"I did, I just thought I'd talk a walk downtown." You admit, resting your chin in the palm of your hand and letting your eyelids flutter shut.

"Oh? See anything interesting?"

"Not much." You shrug, wishing you could take your mind off of the money problems.

"Somethin' bugging you, Love?" Bucky asks, turning to lean against the counter top to face you. He must have seen the sadness through your weary expression.

"Well.." You sigh. "I just wish I had the money to buy myself some new dresses, is all." You admit, opening your eyes to look at Bucky.

"I'll buy you some! You should have told me!" Bucky exclaims and reaches for your hands.

"Oh, Buck, I don't need them. We need the money for other things." You say, letting Bucky kiss your knuckles gently.

"Money isn't everything, Darling." Bucky says pointedly.

"I know, but we need it to live." You reply, raising a hand to run your fingers through his messy hair. 

"All we need is love." Bucky smiles, sweetly pressing the tip of his nose to yours.

"Buck," You sigh, giggling at him. Bucky leans forward and kisses the top of your head.

"I know, (y/n). But someday we'll have enough money, and I'll buy you all the dresses in the world."

As Bucky returns to his cooking, you wearily rest your head on the countertop and let your arms stretch out.

A familiar tune plays softly on the radio and you hear Bucky snap his fingers and turns up the volume again.

  "Talk about my baby,"

You glance up to find Bucky singing and dancing to the music with a sneaky grin on his face. "A little latin lupe lu,"

"Oh no," You groan although a smile starts to tilt up your lips.

"She's a hot footin' baby!" Bucky dramatically sings with his head thrown back and you find yourself laughing at him. "There ain't no dance she couldn't do."

"Bucky," You warn him as you hear him getting closer to you, clapping his hands to the beat.

"She's my groovy little baby, a little latin lupe lu."

You feel Bucky's hands around your wrists and before you know it, he has danced around the counter and pulled you up off the bar stool. He leads you out to the middle of the kitchen, squeezing your hands happily. He spins you around once before the song reaches the chorus.

"A bopa bopa lupe lu!" Bucky shouts gleefully, picking you up by your hips so that your feet leave the floor. "Shake it, shake it, shake it, lupe!"

You squeal with laughter and wrap your legs around his waist, all while he dances around the kitchen with you in his arms.

Bucky sings and sneaks kisses on your smile, letting his nose nuzzle yours as your fingers thread through his hair.

  Bucky lets his hands slide under your dress,  touching your skin admiringly.  You sing along to the song, laughing at Bucky as he spins you both around in circles.

  "One more time, shake it, shake it, shake it, Lupe!"

  Bucky kisses your lips, still swaying and dancing to the song and holding you in his arms. 

  You decided that Bucky was right; this was worth more than any dress in the world.  He was enough.  You find yourself smiling against Bucky's lips and tightening your hold around his neck.

  "A little Latin Lupe Lu..."
