James Arthur, Say You Won't Let Go

P E T ER Parker was very interested in Charlie Grant; after the months that he had known of her but heard so little about her. And he was more than interested in knowing more about the woman that had single handedly roped the former infamous Winter Solider around her finger.
He had spent the better part of their time eating dinner, talking and getting to know the older Grant sibling. He saw easily why Bucky Barnes had fallen so hard for the woman; she was beautiful, but it was her personality that entrapped nearly everyone.
Peter was very, very happy for the man that he considered one of his closest friends. Besides, despite his interest in getting to know Charlie Grant, MJ held all his attention. Because she always did.
Now, as dinner had ended an hour ago, they all stood around in the yard as the sun was halfway set. A piece of wood was in the center, and various versions of fireworks sat around it.
"We should do this one first!" Oliver yelled. His excitement had reached a peak; and the fact that Spider-Man was hanging out at his house only made it worse. He had yet another crush; and both Wanda and Peter being there made his brain scramble with wondering who to spend time with first.
Charlie stood several feet away, now wearing an old zip up jacket with the zipper down. Bucky was behind her, sitting in a lawn chair, ignoring the world around him and enjoying the way the jean shorts shaped her ass.
"Yeah, we can do that one." Peter said. "Does anyone have a lighter?"
"I grabbed one. It should be there." Charlie said.
"He's such an idiot." Wanda whispered to Charlie.
"I just met him. I could hardly tell." Charlie joked.
When the guys finally found the lighter, everyone else stood back to give room. Charlie found herself sitting on Bucky's lap, with one of his arms hooked around her waist and the other draped across her lap.
She was only half surprised by his actions; because she knew how little he liked to show affection in front of people.
By the time the fireworks actually started, it grew darker. But the colorful display of lights lit up the small yard.
