Bucky X Reader - Aquariums

"Where are we going Buck?" You asked from the passenger seat. He looked over at you and grinned.

"You'll see doll," he said. You pouted, crossing your arms and pursing your lips. Bucky had to stifle a laugh.

"What's wrong [y/n]?"

"You know how much I hate surprises."

"You're gonna like his one though." You huffed and gave him a look. He just smiled gently and took your hand in his. Sighing, you looked at him.

"I damn well better like this place," you said. "Or I'm leaving you Barnes."

"Ouch. That wounds me [y/n]. You know you love me." You smirked.

"Do I?" Bucky had a moment of hesitation before he saw the mischievous gleam in your eyes.

"You almost had me there doll," Bucky said.

"Damn." You snapped your fingers in mock disappointment. "I thought that would have worked."

"But it didn't."

"Nope," You said with a shake of your head. You darted forward and pressed a kiss to the corner of Bucky's mouth. "It did not."

"We're here darlin'," Bucky said, tearing you away from your book. When your eyes saw the word 'Aquarium', they lit up and you began to hop in place. Bucky laughed and you turned to face him.

"Still planning on leaving me?" He said with a shit-eating grin.

"No," you said as you hugged him.

"Good surprise?"

"Yes!" Bucky puckered up his lips and you giggled before kissing him.

"I love you," you said when he wrapped his arm around your shoulders.

"I love you too," he said.

The two of you walked in and purchased your tickets. Right after you had them stamped, you stood in awe at what met your eyes.

Enormous blue and green tanks held fish, crabs, mantas, and even sharks. On your left there was a tank with just fish and on the opposite side of the room was a tank with fish and sharks. In the center of the room were huge mantas.

"So where do you want to go first?" Bucky asked you.

"The sharks please!"

"No problem darlin'."

You grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the tank. You face was almost touching the glass and your eyes were wide in amazement/adoration. You couldn't take them off of the sharks and Bucky couldn't take his eyes off of you.

Seeing you happy made his heart soar. Sure, he may have "slept around" a lot before, but that was before you came into his life. Now his heart belonged only to you. Some people were surprised to say the least. They never thought he could be tied down in a "real relationship".

But Bucky didn't give a rat's ass. He loved you and you loved him. He loved you so much. God, so much. Enough that he planned on proposing.

"Bucky!" You said, snapping your fingers in front of his face. He started and looked at you sheepishly.

"Sorry love," he said.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing important." Bucky shook his head.

"Alright. Can we go to the manta's next?"

"Of course! They have something I think you'd love to do." You clapped excitedly and allowed Bucky to lead you there. In front of the tank was a little kiosk. You two walked up to it and Bucky held up one finger.

"One please," he said. You were a bit confused but once Bucky handed you a bag and you looked into it, your face lit up.

"I really get to feed them?" You asked excitedly. Bucky nodded and you let out a little squeal. You practically ran over to an empty spot, stuck your hand into the bag and put it into the water.

"Holy shit!" You yelped. "It's so cold!"

"What else did you expect?" Bucky laughed. You shot him a look.

Too busy looking at Bucky, you didn't notice a manta coming up to you. It tried to get the food out of your hand and when you felt that, you dropped the food and let out a shriek. Bucky couldn't stop laughing so you flicked some water at him. He flinched at the cold and you smirked.

"Too cold for you Barnes?"

"Not one bit."

Come on then. Put your hand in the water."

Bucky found himself waking up after that goading from you. Shaking his head, he sat up in bed.

Who were you?

That was all he could think. Some part of his mind still remembered you and he could tell that he truly loved you. But he couldn't remember anything else. Just a name, a fading smile and love. He sighed and fell back into his bed. Dwelling on you wouldn't solve anything. You were probably dead anyways.
