Avengers Imagines

Birthday ~ Bucky Barnes

You woke up to see your boyfriend, Bucky, still sleeping next to you. Perfect. He had his arm loosely laying on your waist, which was inconvenient. You very carefully lifted his arm up just enough to escape and you slowly put it back down. Your heart skipped a few beats when you saw his nose scrunching up, making you freeze in your spot. You just sat there for a few seconds before hearing his soft snores, signalling that he was indeed still asleep. You did not realise you were holding your breath until you let out a breath of relief. You quietly got up and tiptoed to the bedroom door, praying for it not to creak as you opened it. You slowly pushed the handle down and opened the door. No creaking. You stepped out of the room and quietly closed the door. Mission complete.

You walked over to the kitchen and made your way to the fridge. You quickly checked to see which ingredients you had to work with for making Bucky a tasty birthday-breakfast. Let's just say that it did not take long for you to realise that you forgot to run errands the previous day. You quietly groaned and grabbed your wallet, keys and a jacket before putting on some shoes and heading out to the grocery store which was just a few blocks away from your apartment. 
After arriving there you quickly grabbed the ingredients you would need to make pancakes together with some fruits and chocolate to top them off. You paid for the ingredients and checked the time. It was already 9 am and Bucky usually woke up somewhere around 10 on the weekends. You grabbed your stuff and took off running back to your shared apartment. Once returned you were out of breath and trying to take off your shoes and jacket as quickly and quietly as possible. You made your way back into the kitchen and took out some pans. You melted the chocolate in a bowl on top of boiling water in a pan as you were making the batter for the pancakes. You looked at the amount of batter you had made and quickly noticed that you had made way too much batter for the two of you alone. You just decided to shrug it off and hoped Bucky would be very hungry that day. While you had some time, you made sure to have fresh coffee for Bucky and yourself. By the time you were finished baking the pancakes and the chocolate was molten, you cut up the fruits and poured the coffee into two mugs before placing them on the table. You set the table further by adding some fancy details. 

With everything finished and ready, it was 9:45 am. You smiled before quietly making your way back to the bedroom. Bucky was still sleeping peacefully. You made your way to the bed and lay down beside him. You kissed Bucky's nose, then his cheeks, and then you basically attacked his entire face with kisses. Bucky woke up chuckling at your cute behaviour. You buried your face in his neck. "Good morning to you too, doll," Bucky said with a raspy morning voice. You took his hand and gently pulled him out of bed, making him follow you to the kitchen. While walking there the smell of fresh pancakes and coffee hit your noses and Bucky smiled. When arriving at the set table Bucky smiled as you hugged him and pecked his lips. "Happy birthday, Bucky bear," You mumbled into his chest. He put two fingers under your chin so you were looking up at him and he gave you a quick peck on the lips. "Thank you so much doll. I love you so much," he said with a genuine smile. "Wait here.." you said as you quickly went back to the bedroom where you had hidden your present for him. You wanted to give him your sketchbook which you had been using for two years and was finally full. Some of the sketches were of him of course, but there were a lot of other drawings as well. You grabbed the book and headed back to the kitchen where Bucky was waiting for you. "This is for you," you said as you handed him the sketchbook. He opened it and looked through the pages, knowing how much work and time it had taken to fill up all those pages. His smile grew bigger with every new drawing he saw. He closed the sketchbook and hugged you tight against his firm chest. "This is amazing. I love you, doll. Thank you," he said before letting go. "I love you too, Bucky. Now let's eat before it gets cold," you said with a smile. You both enjoyed the delicious breakfast and continued your day by watching all kinds of things on Netflix and eating snacks all day. That day was a good day.
