The Choice (Steve Rodgers x Reader)

One

Morning would either make or break a day. This morning, you had yet to decide on which it would be because the pros were equal to the cons.
Pros: You were cuddled up to Bucky, who was fast asleep, softly snoring as his arms wrapped softly around you.

Cons: soon you'd have to get up and head out for a mission.

There were more factors, but they were the most important. Mornings with Bucky never fell short of the divine. As soon as he'd open those beautiful icy blue eyes, he'd smile as they'd land upon you. His lips soon find their way to yours before he whispers a sweet greeting that places a long lasting smile on your face.
However, at the moment he was still in the land of dreams and waking him meant disaster. You slowly turned to grab your phone, peering at it to see the bright numbers 3:07 light up the screen, temporality blinding you. 23 more minutes. You thought, biting your lip as you cuddled further in to Bucky. You gently closed your eyes and let the smooth rise and fall of his chest wash away the uneasy feeling, and lull you back to sleep.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Bucky's throat let out a loud groan as he raised a hand to rub his eyes. You startled awake at the sound and raised you head to see Bucky struggling to keep his eyes open. You smiled and blinked hard. "It's too early." You hummed in agreement and lifted yourself up so you wouldn't be tempted to lie down and sleep again. "Come on. It's still dark outside." He grumbled, using his elbows to prop himself up.
You held the covers to your bare chest and let a small giggled leave your mouth. "You're the one who wanted a late night." He smiled ever so slightly and leant forward to press his lips to yours.
He left his lips on yours for a second before saying; "I didn't hear you complaining." You laughed and pushed him away, getting up to prepare for the mission.
As you walked towards the bathroom you noticed Bucky still hadn't moved. "Come on, Buck. You know how pissy Tony gets when we're late." You called back to him.
As you turned the shower on, he appeared in the doorway of the bathroom, metal arm leaning against the door. "Well, to save time, we better shower together." He pulled a face as if it was the only option, lips tightening into a thin line.
You rolled your eyes but smiled nonetheless. "Mmm, I don't know. I like taking showers by myself." You replied, looking over your shoulder to smile at him as you got your toothbrush out.
He was behind you in seconds, arms wrapped around your torso as he planted a small kiss on your shoulder.
You squirted toothpaste on to yours and his tooth brush before placing yours in your mouth. You reached behind you, Bucky's mouth already open to receive his brush. "Thank you." He muffled out, letting go of you with just his human hand to brush his teeth.
You brushed in silence, the only noise being the sound of bristles against teeth. You both spit at the same time, standing up together and smiling.
"Come on then." You mumbled, taking his hand to lead him in to the shower. The time in there was PG and mainly filled with washing each other's hair (and a small cuddle) before you had to force yourselves out.
Mornings with Bucky were the best, even before a mission. And you were pretty sure this one had made your day, not break it.
