You and Sargent Bucky Barnes just dont get along. Your sunny personality always clashes with his reserved seriousness. As he fails to navigate dating and you fight for a permanent part on the team, Bucky wants to strike a deal: Help with dating in exchange for private training. Getting along might be your biggest hurdle. But what happens when his Steele reserve melts to softness and he finds that your sunshine hides shadows? ****Some explicit content warning ****

A/N: first few chapters are a bit 'cringy' with spelling errors (I write this on my phone) but if you can get past those two things, I PROMISE the story and writing get better. Will be doing heavy editing/construction once the book is complete Agent Amelia Hayes is the newest recruit to the Avengers team after getting a second chance at life thanks to none other than Tony Stark. While learning how to use her powers for good and what it truly means to be a hero, shes also creating bonds with everyone on the team as they help her along her journey. All except James Buchanan Barnes that is. She doesn't know why the moody super soldier has such a vendetta towards her but she does know that she can't help but get flustered and ogle around him. Getting to the root of everything is one problem. Figuring out where to go when she gets her answers is another. But Amelia Hayes never backs down from a challenge.
