She was a silent fighter,
With a demon in her lung,
That stole her breaths right from her,
Before they'd hardly passed her tongue,
He was a silent fighter,
Who was always taught to share,
And held his breath when he was with her,
Just so she could h...
It's Christmas Eve and Bucky invited me to go on a walk with him. We step out into the cold winter air and I adjust the collar of my coat.
We walk in silence until I speak up. "Where are we going?" Bucky smirks."That's a surprise, Angel. I know you love them." He chuckles. "No, I don't. I hate them." He raises one of his eyebrows. "Alright, hate is a strong word. I dislike them. Better?" He nods vigorously like a small child would. Sometimes I question myself why I stuck with him. What did I do to deserve a 28 year old man with the mental age of six? But no matter what, I love him. I always will.
We walk through the streets until we arrive at an old house. James stops dead in his tracks and I almost fall on my face because I didn't realise that he stopped and i was still holding his hand. He walks to the back of the house and I follow him.
"Bucky, I'm pretty sure this counts as trespassing. Are you insane?" I whisper-shout. "Yes, I thought you knew that. But, we're not trespassing calm down. I bought the place." "Wha-" "SHHH" We go to the back and there is something written on the wall.
Y/N,
THIS WALL ISN'T NEARLY BIG ENOUGH TO SHOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. BUT YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE HUMAN...
WILL YOU MARRY ME?
□YES □YES JAMES BARNES 12.24.1945
I can't believe what I'm seeing but when I turn to Bucky he is down on one knee with a ring in his hand. My eyes tear up.
"Y/N, the first time I saw you, you were covered in motor oil and angry. I've never seen a woman like you before. You were so passionate about what you were doing, you still are. The moment I saw your Y/E/C eyes, I knew you were special. There was determination in them. The time you kissed me at the ball in front of everyone, I knew we were meant to be. When you were captured by Hydra, I realised I couldn't live without you. I love and respect the value you place on making the world a better place, and it makes me try harder to do that myself. In fairytales it's always the handsome prince that saves the damsel in distress, but in real life. I never saved your life, it was always you who has saved mine. And those are just a few reasons I'm hoping you'll spend your life with me. Will you make all my dreams come true and become my beautiful wife?"
Tears of happiness were running down my face. "Yes, yes, of course I say yes!" I excitedly reply. "SHE SAS YES!", Bucky screams even though probably no on a can hear him. He gives me a paintbrush and I paint on the rest. I put a tick in both squares. I started laughing and Bucky kisses me. The kiss is passionate but I brake it to take a look at the ring.

It's welsh gold with a pear shaped peridot in the middle and little golden leaves around it. It's unusual to say the least. "It's a family heirloom. It belonged to one of my ancestors, a wealthy, British noblewoman from the middle ages. It's been passed down since then." I smiled. "I love it." I can't wait to show Peggy. I wonder what she's doing.
We told everyone except Steve and Peggy. We wanted to tell them in person. Most were happy. James' mother remained neutral. The rest of the night was uneventful. I just stared at the ring.
