Home Early [BUCKY BARNES]

*for the sake of this let's pretend the stark tower became an avengers tower and headquarters in central new york before the compound was built*

I sighed as i slammed my school locker shut. "i was going to ask you how the test went but i don't think that's necessary" my friend Dan said from beside me. I chuckled sadly as i looked up at him. "not exactly, i didn't get any sleep last night, i'm spending all my free time revising but nothings going in my head. I completely spaced in that test" i said, resting my head against the locker in defeat. "don't worry, no matter the outcome it won't be terrible because you're a genius" Dan said and i smiled at him as we both chuckled. "thank you dan" i said, placing my hand on his shoulder.

Dan and I had been best friends since we were kids, we both used to live in Brooklyn but i moved into the Avengers tower around a year ago. I became an avenger shortly after i left high school but due to Tony being so protective over me, he decided to pay for my tuition fees at University so i could have something to focus on apart from practising combat skills or risking my life. nowadays it seemed he only called me in when they really needed me, which i knew he was only doing to protect me but it made me feel a little left out.

I made my way back to the tower, hopping on and off the subway and taking a nice scenic but shot walk through a corner of central park before arriving. I made my way through the front doors and took the elevator up. As soon as i walked into the open plan living area, i threw my keys down onto the kitchen island and grabbed a drink before kicking my shoes off and leaving them scattered around the room. The compound was empty as everybody had been away on a side mission for Fury.

With a heavy sigh, i knew that my evening would consist on some well deserved netflix time, all be it if i'm lonely without the others. My mock exams were over now so i didn't have any pressures to revise for a good couple of weeks. I was actually looking forward to getting lost in a new and exciting series on Netflix. I wasn't sure if i was feeling a bit of American Horror Story tonight or maybe The Vampire Diaries. I smiled at the thought of laying in my bed, snuggled under the covers on this cold and rainy day and getting lost in Stefan and Damon's eventful lives so i could forget about mine for a bit.

I opened the door to my room and threw my bag down on my bed automatically without looking. I heard a grunting sound and i turned my head to my bed. I saw Bucky sitting on my bed, me having just thrown my bag at his stomach. "you're back!" i said happily, running over to him as he stood up. He wrapped his arms around me and lifted my in the air. "i've missed you so much" he said as i smiled down at him. "it's been so quiet without you all" i said softly as i pressed my lips against his. "well it'll be quiet for another day before they get back" he mumbled against my lips. I pulled back slightly confused as i looked at him. "we managed to gain control quicker than anticipated so we were 'over staffed'. Naturally i offered to come back a day early" He said and i chuckled as i ran my hand through his newly cut hair. "and they have no idea?" i said quietly. "none, they agreed in fear i was feeling a psychotic break" he said and i chuckled but then felt bad about laughing at the thought of The Winter Solider appearing. He sat down on the bed, still holding onto me as he kissed me, running his hand up and down my back. I deepened the kiss and pushed him back down onto my bed. I chuckled as i spotted my remote control. "you know you completely ruined my plans for a relaxing netflix binge night" i said with a smirk and he rolled his eyes but chuckled. "well if you really insist we can just sit here and watch-" i cut him off by kissing him again. He smirked into the kiss, placing his hand on the back of my neck. "i take that as a no" he mumbled and i chuckled, pulling his shirt over his head. I frowned at the cuts on his shoulder and arms. "buck" i mumbled softly as i looked at them closely. "i'm fine" he said, smiling at me softly. "they look a bit -" i paused looking down at the deep colour of purple running through them. "infected?" i questioned. I'd never seen any cuts this colour before. "i'm pretty sure i can fight off an infection considering my advantage" he said as he resumed kissing me. I tried to forget about it but i just couldn't. "baby just forget about them" he said and i smiled at him sadly. I shook my head, sitting up straight as i straddled him. I waved my hand over the larger gash on his shoulder and it began to heal up. "don't waste your powers on me!" he said. "i'm not wasting them" i mumbled as i watched the scratches and deeps cuts heal themselves. He looked at me softly before pulling my into him. I rested my head on his shoulder as his arm was wrapped around me.

"can we watch netflix now?" i questioned after a few moments of silence. "go on then!" he said and i chuckled, leaning forward to grab the remote. I turned the tv on and locates my way towards the vampire diaries. "not again?!" he questioned me. "oh shut up, i know you love it really" i said smirking and he rolled his eyes. I smiled as i kissed him softly and briefly before focusing my attention back on the tv. Nobody knew about mine and Bucky's relationship. Everybody thought we should be together considering the amount we play flirt and make each other happy but we just weren't ready to let others know. In a world where the whole world knew too much about us, we wanted this to be our thing.
