The Burning Question.

The Show

After that fateful night, you and Bucky spent every single second together. You cooked together, trained together, watched movies and ate together. You cuddled together on the couch and on each other's beds. You rested in Bucky's arms every night. It was the most comforting thing in the world. But you guys never talked about that night, since you weren't exactly sure what would happen to the two of you.

When you weren't in the same room, Bucky was either training, eating or sleeping, but mostly eating. He had an extremely big appetite, so he would always have some sort of food item with him. It would either be a beef jerky stick, a protein bar or his favorite: plums. He always had a bowl of plums in his room and whenever he ran out, he would get frustrated and yell at F.R.I.D.A.Y. to order more.

You on the other hand would either be relaxing in your room, listening to music or watching a movie. Sometimes you would train alone, since you didn't want to burn anyone with your powers. You would set up targets on the lawn of the compound and practice your aim. You would fly into the air and see how fast you could go. You zoomed like a rocket in the sky, leaving a trail of fire and smoke wherever you flew.

Even after nights with Bucky, when you had too much pressure inside of you, you would excuse yourself from the room and head outside. You would shoot into the air like a firework, exploding in the sky. Bucky could hear you cheering outside with his advanced hearing, even though you were hundreds of feet in the sky. And when you felt your skin about to explode, fire would shoot around you like a firecracker. Bucky would look up from the window of his room and see a show in the sky, all because of him. He would smile at the sight of fire, your fire, illuminating the sky.

Three weeks after you kissed Bucky, you excused yourself once again and headed outside to the roof of the building. Bucky and you were cuddling on the couch and you were going to burst from all the joy flooding your body. You left in a hurry, only you didn't realize the Winter Soldier was following you outside.

You ran for your takeoff into the stars and nothing was stopping you. You were over the moon and if there was oxygen in space, you could have flown there and back. You flew so high you were touching the clouds. As Bucky stepped outside, he felt like he entered Heaven. The patterns and shapes you made in the sky were making Bucky blush. As you were flying, Bucky took his fingers and traced your moments in the sky.

Then, your skin started to erupt and you couldn't control it. You literally exploded in the sky, the fire around you forming an aura around you. Your eyes weren't E/C anymore, but they lit up in a phoenix red. Your hair turned red at the roots and got lighter and lighter till the tip of your hair was a light orange. You yelled at the top of your lungs, and you could be heard for miles. You were too happy to give a damn what anybody would think about you.

As you started your descent for the roof, Bucky stared at you in awe. He had briefly seen you fly before, but this time was different. You were filled with a new happiness and joy. Bucky never saw your hair and eyes light up like that before, and it made you look like a phoenix. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Wow," Bucky smiled.

He was lying down, his limbs laying about carelessly. His hair sprawled around him, strands of his hair looking like an abstract painting. People said when you look at the person you love, your pupils will dilate. When you look at his eyes, you couldn't even see the baby boy blue. They were a beautiful midnight black. Even reflections of stars and constellations were seen in his eyes, as if they were mapping out his heart.

You freeze in shock. You never even heard him follow you and you were paralyzed at the glow of joy and pride emitting from him. You love how he looked so careless and free, and especially happy.

"That was beautiful, doll," Bucky said, his voice breathless.

"Now you know how you make me feel," you answer. Bucky blushed at this. He never knew how well your emotions for him could be so perfectly displayed in a show. It was all because of him. Nobody else. You were his, and he was yours.

Then he leans into you, pushing your lips to his. You smile through the kiss and Bucky can feel the warmth leaving your body. Before you know it, you slowly rise into the air, about 3 feet off the ground. Bucky is on his tippy toes before you both realize what's happening. You look at him, about to apologize, but he cuts you off.

"Go," he states, and you knew exactly what he meant. You gently place him back on the roof, and he lays out again. Then you lean over him and give him a kiss on his forehead. Then, you start to break off into a run, leaving Bucky on the roof to enjoy the grand finale. Before you even take off, your hair is glowing and your eyes change color again. You leap into the air and then the show begins.

Bucky can't explain the spectacle in the air, as it leaves him breathless. Little explosions here and there, a big one over there and maybe another one over there. Then you start your showstopper move. You didn't think it would work but, you knew you were gonna give it your best shot. Suddenly, you zoom across the sky like a bolt of lighting, tracing lines through the sky. You do a little loop and when Bucky looks up, he sees the biggest heart ever, stretched across the sky for him, and only him.

But that wasn't it. You move into the center of the heart, still burning in the clouds. Then, you burn up again, and explode like a volcano. Bucky has to cover his eyes from the brightness. When he looks back up, he sees the heart burning up in the sky like a candle. Sometimes the flames from the inside get past the lines, but it makes it look more angelic.

As you descend, Bucky is standing up. He looks at you like you're a goddess and his smile alone can make you go do that all over again. No words need to be said, as you look into eachothers eyes, they speak for themselves.

"I love you," Bucky said.

"I love you too," you reply. This was definitely the best day of your life, for now. You knew in the future, more amazing things were to come.
