you were cuddled up in bucky, playing with his metal fingers as his flesh hand stroked your hair. you admired the small metal plates on his hands as they shifted and shone, enchanted with the beauty of it that was simply him.

meanwhile, he was enchanted with you. you were a goddess, an angel sent straight from the heavens to drop him on his knees and finally be a light in his life. you were pure and innocent and deadly and his.

you wouldn't hesitate to step on a man's throat or break his neck, but would cry at the dawn duck commercial.

you could giggle and make fun of the same people raining bullets on you, and scream and spit into the faces of the most dangerous people on the planet. yet, you own over thirty stuffed animals that you place on your bed when you have a movie night with him.

he was enamoured with each step you took and each word you said, with each kiss you would place and each laugh that bubbled out of your pretty mouth.

he was wrapped around your finger and he had no problem with it, because he knew you would never take advantage of him. because you loved him too, you adored every scar and crevice, every memory and word that fell from his red lips.

you would kiss away the ugly words that would tumble out of his mouth and rub your nose against his when he was upset. wipe away each salty tear that would fall down his cheeks and hold his hand.

you were sunshine and flowers and everything good in the world. you were murder and revenge and femme fatale. you were beauty, life, pain, and death all wrapped up in the best way possible.

you were you and he loved you more than anything he had ever loved before.

he would let you paint his nails with the bright colors and pepper him with random kisses wherever and whenever you felt like it; and you would let him cuddle you close and make you forts like the ones he would make for his sister.

you showed him movies and music and love, so much love that he was sure he would drown.

he was okay with it, though. he was okay with everything from you.

so, when your pretty face looked up at his, beautiful e/c eyes staring at him through your lashes, addicting lips aking him if he would go with you to target so you could buy a gift for your favorite little girl, how could he ever say no to you? a fantasy walking earth.

you stood, lacing your fingers through his and pulling him up, only for him to pull you back, making you smile and slap his chest.

"bucky," you drawled, tugging his arm, "i'll buy you some of those chocolate things you like so much," you promised, kissing his cheek.

"it'll be so fast, i promise, i just gotta get the gift for kassie, her birthday party is next week," bucky didn't need to be convinced, he loved your best friend's daughter almost as much as you did.

he played along anyways, "only for a kiss," he said, and you grinned, pressing your lips to his nose, then his lips.

bucky hummed happily, pulling away only to give you another kiss on the cheek and pull you up.

"c'mon darling, we gotta get our girl a present."

-

bucky loved watching you be happy, which, luckily for him, was always whenever you were together.

seeing you like this, ethereal, glowing, staring at stuffed animals and pulling them to your chest, made him grin so wide, he was sure it went from ear to ear. you bit your lip as you stressed between three different animals- a hippo, a dog, and a koala. you decided to get them all and sent him to get a bag, leaving you to stare at even more toys.

he had left for barely a minute before a penguin caught your eye, and you brightened, heading towards it distractedly as you thought about the smile your four-year-old cousin would wear at seeing it.

which was why you didn't see the lady moving in your way, making you bump into her roughly. you blinked in surprise and looked over at her, barely beginning to string embarrassed apologies before the woman began to scream at you.

in that moment, when you were being lectured by a forty-year-old woman over how stupid and ignorant you were, you didn't feel like the amazing, badass avenger you were, you felt like the gum stuck under sam's shoe, and your lip jutted out pathetically as she stuck her finger in your face.

"cry about it, you idiot!" she shrieked, and you didn't shift your gaze from the floor, not wanting her to see the brimming tears on the edge of rolling down your cheeks.

god, you were tough as shit, you knew that and you were proud of it, but you were also surprisingly shy, and so sensible, blubbering whenever you saw a dog. bucky thought it was endearing, and you thought it was annoying- especially at this moment.

you sniffled after she huffed and left, still muttering about your idiocy.

you completely forgot about the penguin and walked away, running into a broad chest that made the embarrassment spark again.

"i- i'm so sorry-" tears ran down your face now, and your voice trembled.

"doll? are you crying?" looking up and finally noticing it was bucky, you crashed against his chest, dully noticing the cart with the stuffed animals and bag you had asked him to get.

"i- i was looking at a penguin, an- and i bumped into this ho-rrifying woman 'nd she yelled at me," you hiccupped, inhaling bucky in and pushing your face even further in his embrace.

he hugged you close, kissing the top of your head, "awe, baby, i'm sorry honey, i heard it from all the way over there and that women was being irrational, c'mon, we'll buy some ice cream and anything you want from here so i can see that pretty smile again, we are using tony's card."

you let out a watery laugh and nodded, wiping away your tears and kissing your sweet boyfriend. "thank you, bucky. i love you so much, baby boy."
