Summary: Bucky appreciating the reader, being surrounded by friends and enjoying the moment.

Warnings: fluff, cheesy but cute, slight mention of sex I guess

Bucky loved moments like this. Surrounded in a room full of people he cared about. It had taken him an awful long time to trust them but he got their eventually. They all understood and vowed to be there for him and they were.

They gained his full trust, he would trust them all with his life and in return they trusted him with theirs.

Looking around the room his eyes glanced over everyone. Laughing and enjoying their time together.

His eyes landed on Natasha and Bruce first, she was laughing at something Bruce was saying, swatting him with her hand gently with a fond look on her face.

Bucky couldn't help but smile at both of their happiness.

Next his eyes landed on Sam. Th man who at first they did not really get on, but over time they learned how to be civil. Eventually on a particularly rough mission where Sam had saved Bucky's life and not even 10 minutes later Bucky saved Sam's, they had suddenly become really good friends, not as good as Steve of course but nearly.

Tony had let out a loud laugh across the room, pouring a drink for Steve who stood in front of him at the bar. Although Tony was very cautious of him at first, the man came around pretty quickly, helping Bucky with his metal arm, working together to advance it.

Next his eyes landed on his best friend. Steve Rogers, the Captain America.

Steve had changed a lot from the young small boy he used to be but at the same time it was still Steve. His heart and his kindness never changed, just his appearance.

His eyes flicked to the person next to him, she was listening intently to something Thor was speaking about, occasionally nodding her head in acknowledgement. Suddenly she let out a laugh, Bucky admired the sound, it was one of his favorite sounds in the universe.

His eyes traced the side of her face where she was slightly angled away from him. He admired the soft skin behind her ear where her hair was tucked behind, down to her neck, hiding the greenish and purple mark that Bucky knew was there. He may have gotten too carried away last night in her bed. Then the line of her jaw, he wanted nothing more than to trace along it with his hands, aching to feel the softness beneath his finger tips.

She laughed again, Bucky not missing the creasing of her eyes and the genuine smile on her lips.

Thor had turned to converse with Bruce, noting the admiration of Bucky's stare over Y/n.

"what?" Y/n asked catching Bucky looking at her once she turned back to him.

"nothing" Bucky spoke, a smile stretching out onto his face.

"I could feel you looking at me" she smiled softly back at him, the lone dimple on her left cheek making an appearance.

"you're just nice too look at" Bucky said and he felt like blushing at the fact he was caught.

"normally I'm the one starring at you" she said, looking up at him, her eyelashes fluttering slightly at the look she was giving him.

Bucky couldn't help himself. Normally he hated affection in public, but then again he had never felt like this towards someone before.

His hand traced the skin of her jaw, pushing her hair further back behind her ear so he could run his fingers over the hickey, she shivered at the touch and Bucky pressed down slightly on the mark. Her eyes closed momentarily, her minds flashing back to last night.

Once she opened her eyes again she met his stare as he watched her. Eyes full of love and admiration for him.

Bucky's heart clenched in his chest. He didn't think he could be happier right now. All things in the past forgotten,all the low's and the hating himself, the fear and anxieties that came with once being the winter soldier. All he could focus on was her.

She leaned further into his touch, savoring the feeling of his rough skin against hers. Nothing made her feel safer than Bucky's touch.

They were lost in their own world, not aware of the fact that some of the other Avengers had stopped talking to watch them. It was all new to them, Bucky showing his affection so publicly. Sure it was only in front of them and they were all friends, but it was still rare.

It was rare to see Bucky this relaxed, and as Steve watched the two interact and it reminded him of the Bucky before all the super soldier stuff. It brought a smile to his face as he watched his best friend and the kindest girl he had ever met, be so enamored by each other.

"Bucky" she whispered aware of the burning gazes of others in the room. Bucky looked around them, suddenly shy of how vulnerable he had become just then, letting all of them see it.

Bucky met Steve's eyes as his friend was grinning at him, eyebrows raised in surprise. Bucky shrugged slightly, chuckling under his breath and shaking his head gently in response before turning his attention back to Y/n.

"this is kinda embarrassing" he mumbled under his breath.

"no it's not, they don't care" she laughed gently, her hand reaching for his metal hand and linking their fingers together.

She turned back to Thor, joining back into the conversation, everyones attention back to where it was before.

Bucky stared at the back of her head, smiling brightly as her grip tightened around his hand, squeezing it in reassurance. Bucky never wanted this moment to end.
