Bucky Barnes: My Plums! part 2(s)

•••

I lay my arm across his stomach, and place my head on his chest. The steady sound of his heartbeat soothes me.

And I decide I want to tell him how I feel.

"Bucky?" I say at the same time as his "Hey, Y/n?"

"Um, go ahead." He offers.

"No, no, you go."

"Okay. Um..." I hear his heartbeat quicken, and sit up to look at him. I put my hand on his, and he stares at it. "Doesn't it... sorry let me say that again. Don't I scare you?" He doesn't look away from our hands, and I intertwine our fingers.

"No. You don't scare me. Your arm doesn't either." I pause, and think about how to say the next part. "But, what HYDRA did to you scares me. I don't think I'd be able to see you like that again." I put my other hand on his chest, which causes him to look at me. "Bucky, I can't watch you go through that again. It's not so much scary, as it is painful. I... care about you. A lot. I lo... Buck, I really... ugh." I look into his eyes. "I don't know how to say it."

"How 'bout you show me?" His blue eyes, pierce mine, and I can't stop myself. I pull him towards me from his shirt. I look into his eyes one more time, before I close mine and kiss him gently. After a few seconds, I pull away. He rests his forehead against mine. "I really 'ugh' you too, y/n." I giggle and pull away to see him smiling. I kiss him again. Long this time, more passionate.

The next day

"Hey, you got a little..." I point beside my lip, and Bucky wipes his, but he doesn't get it. "You missed." I laugh, leaning forward and wiping it with my thumb. He smiles, and I smile back.

"What the hell just happened? I thought you were gonna kill him? Remember?" Tony stares at me, clearly confused. "He took your last plum. I just saw you last night, and you were pissed." I smile at him. "Oh. OOHHH! Okay!" He grins at me.

"What?" Bruce asks.

"He fucked all the angry away." Tony smirked. "Good job, man." He says, tipping his chin towards Bucky. I throw my fork him.

"Tony!" I groan. "That's not what happened!"

"I just got her some plums, you know, as an apology." Bucky clarifies.

"Hey. That was a good idea. Wonder who came up with it." Steve says, smiling at Bucky, who smiles back.

Nat nudges me. "Did you tell him?" She asks quietly. I nod, with a big smile. "Yay! That's good!" She says in a hushed voice. Clint looks at us, eyes full of hope, from across the table and Nat gives him a thumbs up. I laugh as he grins.

•••

"Can I tell Steve? Or is this just between us?" Bucky asks me.

I walk around his room, and sit on his bed. "I can't believe you haven't told him already."

"Did you tell someone?" He sits beside me.

"Well, I was texting Nat before I told you, and Clint read over her shoulder. So I told them both at lunch today."

"So, when should I tell Steve?"

"Whenever you want really. But you should do it soon, so he doesn't feel like you're keeping secrets from him." He smiles.

"You're right." I move closer to him, and look up into his eyes.

"Well, it's good that we agree." I brush my lips against his, then back up again.

"I'd love to agree some more." He says, pulling me into his lap, his hands on my hips.

"Yeah?" I ask breathily.
