summary : When Clint's birthday comes sooner than Bucky realized, Steve forced him to go buy some gift for Hawkeye.

How will Bucky navigate this modern world romance? Will he allow himself to fall in love? If so.. How will he keep this from the team? And how will you navigate a friendship - let alone romance - with one of the most closed off Avengers?

"No, please? Stay the night?"
You gave the best puppy dog eyes you could as you looked up to your partner. Your everything. Your Bucky. He was enlisted and getting sent out first thing in the morning. The two of you had gone steady a few months ago, but you'd known him for years before that.
"Dolll, I-" Bucky snorted and held you close to his chest, his forehead resting against yours before he pressed a small kiss to the tip of your nose. His lips gentle, and his touch was like clouds. "How can I say no t'you?"
A small chuckle left your lips as you ushered him into your home. You agreed that, after the war the two of you would get married. Move in together.. Ah, well, you don't wanna dwell on that right now. You're going to focus on the man right in front of you and that's all.
"You can't say no t'me!" You hugged his waist before pushing him down to the couch. With gentle touch, you grabbed his coat and threw it to the side. He's complained before about how it was tight and hot in it. "And I thank God for it everyday"
"You're so bad, hun"
"You love it"
In a graceful movement, you sat nicely on his lap. Your hands cupping his face as you looked over his face. Trying to remember every wrinkle, every hair, every bump and crevice. You weren't going to see him for months..
"What's on your mind, sweetheart?" The man in front of you asked with a worried smile. His hands were placed on your waist, making sure you weren't going to fall or move or anything of the sort. "Why're acting like 'n eager beaver?"
".. You promise you'll be back, right?"
A beat of silence spread between the two of you. James Buchanan Barnes left wordless for a moment. His shoulders tensed, no one would notice. No one but you. He licked his top lip before he captured your lips on his.
"I promise." He whispered against you. "I'll be back quicker than y'can say my name"
You ran a hand through his hair, it was so soft under your touch. You're going to miss moments like this. The sweet man you met gradeschool. You remembered when he was a lanky 12 year old boy, all confident at being 'the fastest kid in the whole school.' Honestly, when you were kids you didn't like him. He was a popular kid in school, everyone loved him
Except you. Which was strange for Bucky. So, of course, he made the great decision to talk to you in the library. You were reading The Great Gatsby.. Which was a heavy book for a 12 year old to read. But that just made Bucky even more enraptured with you.
Ever since then, he'd been glued to your side. After that, you, Bucky, and Steve had become a close knit trio. Everyone knew wherever you went, Bucky and Steve were close behind.
It was only inevitable that you'd fall for one of them.
Ah, well. That's enough reminiscing.. The front lines were the one place you wouldn't be able to follow Bucky to. You weren't enlisted, nor did you want to join the army. Much too violent for you. You wanted to open a bookshop for crying out loud!
"You'll stay safe though, okay, James?"
"Oh no, y'called me James, am I in trouble?" He had his signature smirk on his lips, trying to lighten the mood. It was a, uh, a failed attempt.
"Promise me."
His gaze softened as he kept his eyes locked on yours, his thumbs rubbing small circles on your back. Something he learned to soothe you one day after you had a low grade on a math test.
"I promise, doll."
A small sigh left your lips before you kissed his forehead softly. "I'll send you flowers, 'kay?"
"No."
You huffed and leaned away, your brows furrowed at his quick answer. A small frown on your face. "Why? Embarrassed of me?"
"Not one bit, doll, don't even joke like that," His grip on your waist tightened before he pulled you closer. "I don't want'cha to send me flowers, 'cause I want'cha to save that for our garden."
A small, confused chuckle left your lips. "Garden?"
"When we live together after the war," He whispered and kissed your lips, a quick soft one. "We'll have a big garden, somethin' we can take care of together."
"Buck-"
"We'd have the best front yard in the whole neighborhood," His eyes bore into yours. His blue eyes locked on yours as he looked at you.. Only love and admiration. Unlike his usual teasing nature, he looked at you as if you're the only person in the world. As if he wasn't leaving the next day. In fact, he looked at you as if you'd spend your whole life together..
That was his plan, at least.
"So no flowers, got it, sweetheart?"
You rolled your eyes and leaned forward, your forehead resting against his. "I got it."
"Doll?"
"What is it, Bucky?"
"I love you."
Your heart skipped a beat before a giggle escaped your lips. Your arms wrapped around his neck tightly as you placed scattered kisses around his face. You've said you "i love you's" before. But the magic hasn't weared off, not for you at least. Not ever.
"I love you too, James Buchanan Barnes. I love you more then you'll know."
The two of you sat there in a comfortable silence for a while. Quiet conversations between you two before Bucky carried you to your room. Where the both of you cuddled all night and whispered sweet nothings to each other.
You kept him close, stealing away any and all his warmth in the dark of the night.
Sadly, the morning came by, and your Bucky was swept away. Of course, he spared you a kiss before he had to go, promising he'd be back before you could say his name.
If only that promise was kept.

The past few days had been quiet. Bucky had just gotten home from a mission with Steve and Sam. As much as he denied it, it really seemed like he was becoming an Avenger. Again, he hated to admit it, but he acted a lot like a hero.
Though, you could go with a bit less worrying. Whenever he left to go for an operation, you were terrified if he would come back or not. You shouldn't be, though. He lived for you. He promised to be alive for you.
Currently, you were in the kitchen. Cutting up some veggies for the pasta you were cooking. Bucky offhandedly mentioned his love for pasta, so everytime he came back from a mission, you made pasta for him.
Footsteps could be heard from the hallway, and Bucky came into view. Wearing his usual black sweatpants and white t-shirt, his hair pulled back into a small ponytail. He'd been growing it out.
"Hey, babe, can you turn the heat of the stove lower?"
He hummed and did as you told before wrapping his arms around your waist. His metal arm was cold compared to his real arm. You didn't mind, but you favoured his real arm. For obvious reasons.
The super soldier pushed his face into the crook of your neck, taking a breath of your scent in as he spoke lowly. "What're you making this time?"
"Carbonara. You want something else?"
"No. I love whatever y'cook, doll."
Your heart fluttered at that, but you just shook your head and finished up chopping the veggies. Gingerly pushing it into the pot and turned to finally put all your attention to your partner.
"How was the mission?"
He grunted in response. A small smile spread across your face. That was better then if it went badly. When the operation went badly, he usually just groaned and paced around the living room.
You wrapped your arms around his neck, the two of you slowly swaying to "We'll Meet Again." When you cooked you loved putting music on. Especially old-timey music. It was so romantic and calming. Another plus was that Bucky knew all the words to the songs.
As the two of you swayed, he hummed quietly. Muttering the words, "we'll meet again, don't know where, don't now when.. But I know we'll meet 'gain some sunny day."
No one would have ever pegged him for a singer. But with you? He was comfortable doing almost anything. He loved humming along to the music he knew. And you loved listening to his usually gruff and cold voice be more soft. Quiet. Calm.
Bucky chuckled before spinning you in the spot, a small yelp leaving your lips and Bucky's smile widened. He got bolder with your moves. Dancing around the kitchen as if he was back in 1943, dancing away at some pub with someone he's going steady with.
He spun you, dipped you and by the end pressed you close to his chest. Placing a small kiss to your forehead as the two of you just stood there quietly.
"Mission must've went super well, huh?"
He snorted and shook his head. "Stop talkin' 'bout work"
"Why?" You teased and kissed his jaw softly. Running your fingers at the back of his head and scratching his scalp gently.
"'Cause I wanna enjoy my time with you."
"Who knew you were such a softie?"
He huffed and let out a small laugh "Oh, shut up and let's keep dancing."
And you did just that.
super short one shot, but i needed to write bout bucky <3
Peter Parker is so adoptable. “Oh you mean adaptable-“ NO.
First up we got the classic irondad/spiderson dynamic. ICONIC. Can have you punching wholes in the walls with the amount of FEELS and FLUFF and, of course, ANGST. 10/10, great way to get started. BUT. We’ve barely even scratched the surface.
My other personal favourite: Matt Murdock AKA Daredevil adopts Peter. Bonus points if it’s after No Way Home, the emotional hurt/comfort potential is IMMENSE. I just. I love that shit. I eat it up every time. GIMME!!!
Next up, one I did not think would work, but it ABSOLUTELY DOES: Bucky Barnes adopts Peter. Currently reading a fic called Anatomy In Reverse by pansley on ao3, and lemme tell ya im OBSESSED. I did not think there was potential there, BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. (Lovely fic, would 100% recommend it btw)
Oh and did you think Peters adoptableness only reached until the confinements of the MCU? THINK AGAIN. Cuz the Batfam is NOT ABOVE ADDING SPIDERS TO THE BATS AND BIRDS!! You think Batman has an adoption problem, you’ve clearly never seen the amount of fics of Nightwing adopting Peter. (I guess it runs in the family. Also, Dark Matter anyone??)
And these are just the ones I’ve come across! It’s like if you feel like writing parent-child dynamics in the mcu - or even outside of it, jesus! - you just get yourself a ready-to-adopt Peter Parker, maybe kill of some more of his parental figures i guess, and boom! You got yourself an adoptee!
*Frothing at the mouth* IRONDAD AND SPIDERSON ALDKALDKLAJSKSMDKXKSKSDKKSK
IRONDAD FIELD TRIP FIC MENTION!!! + other whumpy irondadoodles
you guys can literally dm me anytime i need friends jajskkskdk
enjoy one of my favorite gifs of tom<3
How I look at my S/O after I shift
(I am going to take their ability to speak)
Iron Man 2008 is so fucking funny, like Tony is kidnapped and tortured and finds out that his weapons are being used to kill the people he was trying to protect, and he's like "Y'know, maybe war is bad" and everyone around him starts acting like he's insane for thinking that
Like Rhodey practically yells at him
Hands down, the funniest part of Iron Man is when Obadiah Stane literally Segways into where they keep the arc reactor
So, Star Wars exists in the mcu
Do you think Marc or Steven ever watched the sequal trilogy and was like "Did I unknowingly Star in a movie?"
Moi ulubieni youtuberowie podczas spekulacji o nowej grze Marvela zaproponowali "Heros Loki który musi walczyć z (opętanym) Thorem". Świetny pomysł, 10/10. Od półtorej miesiąca się zastanawiam czemu do MCU nie ma ReverseRole AU z Hero&Avenger!Lokim i Villain!Thor. Jeszcze trochę a zacznę publikować to co sama wymyśliłam, a naprawdę nie mam teraz jak zaczynać kolejnego FF...
Właśnie się dowiedziałam, że Marvel wrzucił trailer Shang Chi. Już nie mogę się doczekać! To będzie pierwsza produkcja z MCU którą obejrzę na premierę od Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Me, If you will
