A stucky au in which Bucky is on a mission, he doesn't know he has the wrong guy, who's actually an undercover s.h.i.e.l.d agent who was in fact hired to keep an eye on Bucky 🫢

″  i   told   you   it   was   dangerous   to   get   too   close.   ″

her eyes drink him in, search his expression, his eyes for a hint that he means it. a soft hum dies behind her lips and luciana tilts her head to the side. "you did say that. i've never been good at quitting just because something scares me, though."

josh rolled his eyes, blowing out a ring of smoke himself as he drove with one hand on the steering wheel. "sure," he said, clearly not believing her. "or something else." they might have broken up three months ago, but that didn't mean he was comfortable with her walking around on her own at this time of night...or in this neighborhood. "look, i'll drive you home, make sure you get inside safe, and then you don't ever have to see me again if that's what you want. deal?"

"what's that supposed to mean?," she glares, those big blue eyes of hers finding the side of his face. had this been anyone else, tommie would've started with a thank you, or a so nice of you to give me a ride, but few people are as capable of rubbing her the wrong way as josh has been since their breakup. to an outsider, she's ungrateful - to tommie, she's justified. "ah, my hero. i could've never made it through this dark, scary night without you," she teases. taunts. she's still smiling. her cheeks hollow as she takes another drag. "what're you doing out this late?"

nathalie looked up casually from her place on the lawn chair, as if she had not just been caught trespassing in her neighbor's backyard. the young woman had been watching him for days now and since her own husband was gone more often than he was home, she was bored and feeling daring. at the moment, she was completely naked, stretched out on the lounge, readying herself for a swim in his pool. when he caught her, she sat up, looking quite unashamed. "i didn't mean to scare you," she said sweetly. "it just seemed like such a shame that no one was using this pool. would it really hurt if I put it to some use?" as she spoke, she took a step backward and then turned, stepping into the shallow end of the pool, one step at a time until she was in as deep as her shoulders. finally, she turned back to look at him. "you could join me, you know."

"you hardly scare me," he responds, his head tilting to the side in a curious angle, dark eyes briefly wandering before finding home in her own again. he doesn't respond to the rhetorical question, instead watching as she moves, the sway of her hips as she walks towards the pool. "you do realize you're trespassing, right?" despite his words, there's no real weight to them. diego lets out an amused chuckle. "oh, i have your permission to get in my pool, do i?" he sits on the edge of the lawn char, knees apart and arms resting atop as he leans forward, watching her. "maybe i'll just watch, make sure you're having a safe swim."

"What?" Kashvi lazily opened her eyes, glancing over at the figure standing there yelling. For a second, she was completely disoriented until the afternoon back to her. "Relax, Diego. We were having a little wine afternoon and I must have fallen asleep." Probably...Honestly, she couldn't completely remember the decision to fall asleep. His wife had gone inside to crawl into bed and Kashvi had told her she was heading home but then the sun felt too nice on her skin and here they were.

he raises an eyebrow, hands sliding into his pockets as he looks her over once, humming in response and clicking his tongue. "well, looks like the wine was an overachiever," diego teases, though his expression remains serious. all he does is stare at her for a moment too long, like he's pondering on what he should do. "why don't i give you a ride home?," he suggests, glances back at the house and shrugs his shoulders, looking at kashvi again. "or you can spend the night in our guest room, drive home tomorrow morning?"

tommie lets out a breathy laugh, lazily rolling her eyes. "sorry, i appreciate that. i'm just... not in the best mood." she wrinkles her nose, exhaling softly before bringing the cigarette to her lips, cheeks hollowing as she takes a drag, exhaling out the window before she looks over at him, the corners of her lips curving up in a small smile. "but the bar has shitty music and obnoxious people, however could we replicate that?," she jokes.

diego raised an eyebrow at his friend. "tommie, you were in the middle of the road, walking like a lunatic at night" he said matter of factly as he rolled down his own window, stealing her cigarette momentarily and taking a drag himself. "you are not going to a bar, miss, you are going to my house, we can eat pizza and you can vent about anything"

"i was definitely not walking like a lunatic, so dramatic." she waves him off, but the corners of her lips curve upwards in amusement. her head lolls to the side against the car seat and she glances over at diego, watching him for a moment before she leans over and plucks the cigarette from his fingers. "that's bad for you," she says, as if it wasn't hers to begin with. taking another drag, tommie beams. "you had me at pizza!"

“your boyfriend,” the label was spoken with uncertainty, though from the looks of the verbal back and forth that occurred moments earlier, nico could only assume that he was. then again, he hadn’t had the chance to steal a look at the other's hand yet. could’ve been their husband. maybe even an ex. regardless, it didn’t stop him from chiming in with his two cents, “is a fucking dick.”

thomasin sighs, rolling her eyes lazily, almost like she doesn't have the energy to commit to the expression. "fiancé, and yes, he's very much a dick." she pokes her tongue out to wet her lips, head lolling to the side to properly look at the man. "did you watch the whole thing?"
