Bucky Barnes- Wanna Bet?

I find the ending of this one funny

“What was that about?” you asked Steve smiling.  You had seen him hand Fury a few bills.

“What?” Steve seemed flustered. “Oh, that’s nothing.  I’m technically old enough to be a grandfather. It’s a grandparent-ly thing to do, hand out money.”

“Steve,” you could tell he was lying.  He looked at you, raising his eyebrows, as if he was daring you to prove something.

“It’s nothing,” he insisted.

A couple days later…

You had seen it happen again.  This time, Clint was handing Natasha money.

“Lose a bet?” you joked.  They both immediately froze.

“How did you find out?” Clint asked, looking almost concerned

“Find out what...?  I was just joking.”

“Right, of course.”

Even more days later…

You sat on the steps to the main area of Avengers HQ with Bucky, just talking.  Suddenly you remembered something.

“So, Buck, have you noticed that the others are just giving each other money?” you asked, giggling.  He stared at you, as if something else was on his mind, then shook his head and replied.

“No.  But maybe I’ve seen it and it just didn’t register, y’know?”

“No,” you laughed.  Once again, Bucky stared at you.  His eyes glazed over, and such a happy, calm expression came over his face.

“What are you looking at?” you asked, still smiling.  He blinked and waited a moment before answering.

“You,” he said, simply.

“Why?”

“Because you’re beautiful,” he leaned forward and took your face in his hand.  He gently touched his lips to yours, eyes closed. You closed your eyes as well.  You didn’t notice everyone staring at you. Suddenly, you heard a yell from the other side of the room.

“YEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!” you and Bucky broke apart.  There stood Tony with his arms raised high, smiling like an idiot.  After a moment, he relaxed and looked around the room. “Y’all had better pay up.”

“Did you know about this?” you asked Bucky.

“Maybe…” he smirked
