âIâm so sorry.â You mumbled, it was almost inaudible, and he twitched a finger in response. You leaned closer to review some wire connections behind the machine, and with that move, he was able to touch your leg with his finger. It was fast, barely a move, but it made you almost break down.
âHang tight, Sergeant Barnes.â You mumbled before coming back into your initial position, âInspection completed. Asset in perfect condition and ready to comply.â
âYou can leave the chamber, doctor.â You nodded and gave him a last look.
His gaze was fixed to the front, but he gave you a fast flicker in his eyes that was almost like a silent farewell.

Bucky waited for you in the dark of your apartment, having extricated himself from Valentina's party early because he couldn't take it anymore.
You entered with a loud sigh, kicking off your heels and flicking on the lights, surprisingly not startling at Bucky's unannounced presence. Instead of shrieking in fright, you made your way over to him in your slinky dress and sat on his lap. Immediately his arms were around you, his metal hand stroking your hair.
"I'm exhausted and my feet hurt," you muttered. "I hate these fuckin' things."
"I hate watching you at these fuckin' things. Every creep you have to charm. Every smile you fake, drives me crazy."
"Thank you, baby," you said, "but it's all for the New Avengers so at least it's a cause I believe in."
You lifted your head and kissed his lips briefly.
Valentina had the whole team going out to galas and goodwill fundraising events as part of a PR campaign to boost their profile, and the schedule was grueling. Saving the world by day and being out until all hours of the night meant there was very little time for sleep.
"Sit back," he said, guiding you off his lap on the sofa and taking your aching feet in his hands. You moaned in relief as he started rubbing them in firm circles.
"Feels good, Buck, don't stop," you whispered, head leaning against the back of the sofa and your eyes fluttering shut.
"Wouldn't dream of it."
A few minutes of massaging later, you'd fallen fast asleep so Bucky gently set your feet down and got to his feet. He lifted you easily, carrying you to the bedroom and unzipping your dress, putting you in one of his t-shirts and tucking you under the covers.
summary: Tonight, you didnât coax Bucky into falling asleep. This time, youâre the reason neither of you were getting any at all.

This is the small sequel is was talking about in the first part, but honestly if youâre not into smut there isnât a lot youâd be missing out on, I just thought it would be cute to have a small scene of intimacy between the two of them.

From the outside, the way you and Bucky were lying in bed together right now might've seemed ridiculously similar to the situation you had been in only two months ago.
Which was silly, considering just how much had changed since then.
You were watching a movie again, just like you had last time, but tonight it was a mindless Netflix rom-com that neither of you were actually paying attention to. You'd honestly just put it on for the sake of some backround noise, both of you very well aware that you were paying attention to each other more than you actually did to the screen.
After that first kiss and ten hours of highly needed sleep on Bucky's side, he'd insisted on taking you out on a date first thing the next morning, claiming that he couldn't just kiss a dame without offering her a good time afterwards, if you remembered his words correctly.
Genuinely, Bucky had been a gentleman through and through over the past eight weeks, doing everything from holding doors open for you to offering his jacket to you whenever he could, swearing that it was to keep you warm even though both of you knew that he just loved seeing you wear his clothes.
Last week, you'd jokingly accused him of being obsessed with it when he'd tried to sneak another one of his henleys into your closet, which he'd shamelessly agreed to without hesitation.
That was also the reason why you were clad in one of his shirts right now, loving the feeling of the soft fabric on your skin just as much as the intense way it carried his scent.
The way his pupils dilated whenever he looked at you was a pretty nice bonus, too.
"You doing alright, sweetheart?" His lips gently brushed against your hair as he spoke, head slightly bent so he could press a kiss against your scalp whenever he wanted to.
Which apparently meant about every ten seconds.
Genuinely, your boyfriend just couldn't keep his hands off of you.
One of his arms was tightly wrapped around your waist, his thumb rubbing gentle circles against your side which he didn't even see to notice he was doing.
"Mhmm, I'm good." Your eyes were still lazily focused on the screen, even though you really weren't paying attention to the storyline.
Quite the opposite, actually.
You were just waiting for the right moment to finally bring the plan that had been on your mind all day to life.
Truthfully, you'd only let this much time pass already because you'd been hoping that the movie would at least catch some of Bucky's attention, which unfortunatly didn't seem to happen anytime soon.
Even though his eyes were fixed on the screen, you were convinced that it was for more for your sake than for his, because he still seemed to believe that you actually wanted to watch the movie.
He had no idea what was actually going through your head right now.
Deciding that this moment was as good as any, you let your hand move from where it was resting on his chest, your nails catching in the fabric of his shirt as you lightly scratched them across his abdomen, the motion pulling the shirt upwards just enough to reveal a small part of his defined abs and a small part of his v-line. You couldn't see a lot of it, though, because most of it was still hidden by tthe sweatpants sitting low on his hips-
Bucky's reaction was almost immediate.
You felt his sharp inhale before you heard it, his chest expanding under you as his heartbeat sped up, thumping steadily against your ear.
"What are you doing?"
A satisfied grin pulled at your lips, fingers tracing the waistband of his sweats just enough to tease.Â
"Baby-"
"Don't worry about it, Buck." You caught his gaze, your playful expression quickly turning into an innocent one. "Just relax and enjoy yourself. Can you do that?"
His head thudded back against the pillow as he forced the tension out of his muscles, doing just as he was told.
"There you go, just like that."
The praise seemed to drive him crazy even more, his hand tightening around your hip like he was trying to anker himself.
"You're gonna be the death of me, you know that?"
"Seems like a pretty good way to go, doesn't it?" Bucky huffed a soft laugh that quickly turned into a groan when your hand moved a little too close to where he actually wanted it.Â
"Sweetheart if you keep this up, I'm gonna embarass myself."
"That easy to rile you up, huh?" You just couldn't help yourself. You loved how much of a reaction you could get out of him, how little you had to do to make him fall apart like this.
"And what do you want me to do about that?"
"Just touch me, please-" He choked on a moan when you pressed your hand against his hardening errection, palming him through his sweats, which caused him to lift his hips off the matress now, not able to stop himself even though his thighs were tightly clenched when he dropped back onto the bed.
He was seemingly trying to restrain himself, but you had to admit that he wasn't doing too much of a godd job at it.
No matter how much he wanted to take control, you having the upper hand like this always drove him insane in the best ways possible.
"Look at you, so sensitive from just a little teasing."
Even though you kept moving your hand against him at a slow pace, your eyes stayed trained on his face.
You wanted to see exactly how much pleasure you were bringing him, absolutely adoring how expressive he always was with it.
Bucky's eyes were almost black with how dilated his pupils were, his breath coming in harsh burst. The muscle in his jaw twitched tightly, like he was desperately trying to keep any sounds from escaping him.
"It's not the teasing, it's- ah- it's you. You're driving me insane, sweetheart, please just don't stop."
When you'd first started getting intimate with each other, you would've never expected your boyfriend to be this vocal, let alone this sensitive when it came to physical touch.
You loved it, though. The man that had the reputation of having a compusure made of steel crumbled beneath your touch as soon as you paid attention to him, trusting you enough to actually let go of the control he usually held onto with a vice like grip, letting himself get lost in the moment.
It meant more to you than he could ever imagine, which was also why you wanted to make him feel good more than anything. He deserved that much from you, especially with how much of an amazing boyfriend he was being all the time.
Buky didn't preassure you into doing this, of course. If it was up to him, the only priority would be you and your pleasure, but you wanted to do this for him. If he couldn't pay attention to his needs, you were more than happy to do it for him.
Bucky watched intesnely when you lowered yourself into his lap , a sound of protest slipping past his lips when you removed your hand from his cock, only to whimper in pleasure when your clothed core pressed against him a few seconds later.
You couldn't help the gasp that slipped past your lips, either, his reaction more than enough to make heat curl low in your stomach.
Who would've guessed that your man would get this whiny from just a little dry humping?
You kept the movement of your hips against his just predictable enough for him to match it whilst also shifting your weight on top of him every once in a while, for no other reason than to keep him guessing, nerver letting him know what your next move was goingg to be.
His whole body was rigid by now, but you weren't entirely sure if it was because he wanted more or because he was keeping himself from ending this before it even properly started.
You figured it might be a little bit of both.
You weren't entirely sure if you wanted to take it much further than this, though. For you, pleasuring him like this was just as good as doing it any other way and with the way he responded to it, you figured it was safe to say that he was enjoying it, too.
Your panties were more than just drenched, but it didn't stop you from focusing on his pleasure alone. You relished in it, adoring how you could show him that there was no part of him that didn't deserve your love and attention, no matter what his doubts were teliing him sometimes.
You loved all of him, even the vulnerable parts.
Especially the vulnerable parts.
You broke away from the kiss you'd pulled him into a few moments ago, too breathless to keep going.
Your lips drifted lower now, moving against the soft stubble of his jaw before you went down to his neck, gently sucking on the sensitive spot just below his ear, knowing his body well enough by now to know exactly what you had to do to get a reaction out of him.
Bucky's hips immediately bucked up against you again as he pulled you down, greedy for as much friction as he could get whilst you kept your attention on his neck, covering it in soft bites and kisses.
"Fuck, baby, I'm gonna make a mess if you keep this up-"
"Nothing wrong with that, Buck," you murmured against his ear, well aware that he still sometimes needed some reassurance to actually let himself let go, the fear of being too much rooted so deeply he fell back into old habits without actually meaning to.
"Go ahead, Bucky. I got you."
The permission was enough to push him towards the edge, which he fell over immediately when you pressed your weight against him just right, a shudder rattling his whole body when he came, your name leaving his lips in a loud moan.
He tried to pull youu impossibly closer now, arms completely wrapped around your frame as you guided him through his orgasm, grinding down just enough to prolong it without overstimulating him.
When Bucky came down from his high again, you stilled your motions and cradled his head against your chest, giving him all the time he needed to work through the sensations that were cursing through his body right now.
You were well aware that the serum made everything ten times more intense for him, especially things that were already overwhelming to begin with.
Bucky's face was lax with pleasure when he pulled back to look at you again, a lazy smile pulling on his lips. "What are you doing to me, huh?"
You reciprocated his smile with a grin, raising your hand to brush some messy strands of hair away from his forehead, which were slightly damp with sweat.
He leaned into it immediately, just like he always did.
"Making you feel good, I'd say."
"Makin' me embarass myself is more like it," he corrected you, a faint blush colouring his cheeks. "You just made me come in my pants, sweetheart. Like a goddamn teenager."
He didn't seem to actually be bothered by it, but to you it sometimes seemed like he still wasn't entirely used to how the serum running through his veins amplified what he was feeling.
You were more than happy to tell him that there was nothing wrong with that, though. Never that.
"You know I love how I can make you react, right? Drives me crazy, knowing that I'm the one making you feel like that."
It seemed to calm his embarassment just a little, the heat in his cheeks subsiding again. "Baby, you have no idea how crazy you actually drive me."
Before you knew it, Bucky got you flipped onto your back, his weight pressing against you just enough to pin you to the bed, his intentions very clear with how the way he was looking at you, already hardening against your thigh again.
"Again, huh? I thought we were gonna go to sleep."Â
You laughed, but Bucky only huffed offendedly.Â
"Sleep? After what you just did to me? Absolutely not."
"So I guess that means I'm in trouble now, huh?"
You playfully grinned at him and now, Bucky was the one to laugh.

It's Bucky's first time since the 40s. It's a good thing you really like him.
Word Count: 752
Warnings: SMUT, 18+ only!
âOh fuckâŠâ His whole body shudders against yours before locking up, his muscles tensed almost to the point of pain. âMânot gonna last⊠howâm I supposed to last?â His words are whispered with desperation into your neck where his face is buried, burning with a humbling mix of embarrassment that heâs about to blow so soon and the primal need to get his come in you as quickly and as much as possible. His hips twitch at just the thought and a low whimper escapes through his gritted teeth.Â
âSâokay Buck,â you soothe, running your hands gently over his straining neck before migrating to his shoulders and back. âYou can relax⊠no pressure.â Youâre a hypocrite of course. Youâve never been less relaxed in your life, lying there with this beast of a man held in the cradle of your legs, as he throbs deep within you while he tries to find an ounce of composure has you feeling like the most powerful person in the world.Â
Youâre also fighting against the urge to moan wantonly into his ear and roll your hips up for some friction because youâve never been this full. You know that none of that is going to help Bucky at the moment so you tamp down the wildness within that has you desperately wanting to flip him over and just ride. Regardless of how much you want this, you canât risk overwhelming him - itâs just not about you right now. Intimacy has been a long and difficult journey for Bucky and -Â
âOh god,â you gasp before immediately biting your lip to shut your damned mouth.Â
âSorry, mâsorry,â Bucky pants, stilling his movements again and daring a glance at your face. âDid I hurt you?âÂ
âNo baby, itâs good, youâre good. Youâre so good Bucky.â Your words are a bit garbled as they leave your mouth but Bucky continues pumping his hips gently, the panic receding from his eyes rapidly as static takes over his brain at the feeling of you wrapped around him.Â
âNgh, donât say that.â Bucky grips your thigh with the intention of keeping himself grounded against the exquisite pleasure, but it only succeeds in him pulling your leg up higher over his waist allowing him to nudge into you just that fraction deeper and you find you canât help yourself. You cry out in bliss, clenching around his cock as Bucky ruts into you without conscious direction. A final scratch of your nails up his back is what finally tips him over the edge, his mouth dropping open as he pants through his orgasm because heâs pretty sure it never felt like this before and holy crap heâs still coming, pulsing and filling you up so much itâs already leaking back out around where heâs inside you.Â
âSorry,â Bucky gasps, shivering at the sensitivity as he finally starts to come down.Â
You give him as soft a smile as you can manage as you slip away from the edge that you were just starting to climb. Buckyâs arm shakes and he lets some of his weight rests on you as he huffs a deep sigh, hanging his head and gearing up to apologise again, correctly, but furrows his brow when you cut him off by tilting his chin up and gracing him with a brief but firm kiss.Â
âBuck. Itâs okay,â you mutter into the small space between you, hoping that he can hear the sincerity in your words. âToday wasnât about me. It was for you-âÂ
âNo,â he cuts in sharply. âIt was meant to be about both of us and I-âÂ
âNuh uh,â you interrupt - you can both play that game. âWe talked about this. Your first time this century is way more important than me getting an orgasm. âSidesâŠâ you give him a flirty little smile, â... I sort of hoped this wouldnât be the last time weâd be doing this.â You punctuate your statement with a cheeky little pulse around where he is still buried within you and he hisses even as his dick gives an interested kick in response.Â
âYou - youâll let me⊠again?â Itâs ridiculous how cute you find it that even with his dick fully inside you Bucky still struggles to verbalise wanting to fuck you.Â
âMhmm,â you say coyly. âItâs almost like I really like you or something.âÂ
âOr something,â he echoes, a rueful grin finally breaking through as he skates his hand down between your bodies, determined to make this repeat performance one to be remembered.Â
Buh, Sammy. I adore him so much. Undoubtedly my favorite MCU character.
Also hdhdhdhdhfjfjdjfu I donât even remember sending this. I completely forgot about it so donât even worry. i do love that you made a little snippet for it. Itâs so cute.
summary: When Bucky had trouble falling asleep, he sought you out for some company and comfort. What he didnât expect was that between fatigue and vulnerability, feelings had a way of coming through.

Bucky Barnes wasn't unfamiliar with sleepless hours and restless nights.
As a matter of fact, they were a common companion by now.Â
Now one he necesarilly liked, but he couldn't exactly do anything about it. He just pushed through the restless nights filled with nothing else but tossing and turning and the occasional slumber which never really held on long because nightmares and memories didn't give him any peace to actually rest.
Getting three hours of sleep wasn't unusual for him, but Bucky highly prided himself in being able to function well, despite whatever fatigue and exhaustion that little of sleep usually brought.
He was a super soldier, after all. Surely, it would need a little more than that to knock him off his feet, right?
Wrong.
During the last two weeks, Bucky had gotten even less sleep than he normally did. He was constantly on edge, his brain not giving him a break for even a second, reminders of what his life used to be seering through his brain like lighting.
It was exhausting, sure, but he figured he'd tough it out, that it was just a phase that would fade again eventuelly.
What he didn't expect was just how much it would really get to him, both physically and mentally. His body ached with the need to sleep, muscles so have it took him a great amount of strength to even get up in the morning.Â
It didn't help that everything around him felt too intense and dull at once. His headach hadn't left him once during the last fourteen daze and neither had the haze that was clouding his brain, the one that made it difficult to even properly think.
Bucky was used to hiding his issues, though. He'd survived worse than this, for fucks sake. A little sleep deprevation wasn't what was going to break him. He wouldn't let that happen. He couldn't let it happen. He didn't want to tell the others about it, either. The last thing he needed was anybody fussing over him like he and his sobb story were something that needed pity.
But he was so, so tired.
And that tiredness made him desperate, which was exactly the reason why he was currently standing in front of your room, still contemplating if he should knock or if you'd think that he was pathetic for letting a little lack of sleep get to him so much.
He should just pull himself together.
You wouldn't say that, of course. He knew that better than anyone, but that unfortunately didn't stop him from overthinking this.
A part of him, the one that got him through seventy years of torture and pain, was currently screaming at him to keep his distance, to not allow any vulnerablity.
Vulnerability meant weakness, and that always led to punishment.
That's how it used to be, at least.
But tthis wasn't Hydra and you weren't anything like his old handlers. In fact, you were one of the nicest people he knew. You got along with everyone, constantly filling his days with your bad jokes and stupidly beautiful smile.
Your laugh was even worse. The sound was like music to his ears, making him feel lightheaded in a way that had nothing to do with his insomnia and everything to do with you.
It was his fucking favourite sound in the world just like you were his favourite person.
He couldn't tell you that, of course.
The two of you were friends
And even though his feelings for you had stopped just being friendly a very long time ago, that was a fact he had to remind himself of every day. You didn't see him as any more than what the two of you were, which was very close, but still painfully platonic friends.
You had told him, though- multiple times- that whenever he needed anything, you would be there. No matter how big or small, you had promised him that he could always come to you.
And right now, all he really needed was one of your hugs that never failed to make the world around him go quiet, giving his mind the break it barely got anymore.
It would solve all his problems, he was sure of it.
He knew that you were still awake. With his kind of hearing, he could clearly make out the sound of your favourite show still running on the TV.
Taking one last breath, he carefully raised his hand and scraped his knuckles against the door, loud enough for you to hear, but still gentle, so he would hopefully not startle you.
For a moment he was sure that you probably didn't hear him, but then he could make out the quiet rustle of sheets and bare feet lightly padding against the floor.
The door opened and there you wear, your hair a mess, a sleepy expression on your face and clothed in an old tshirt and red flannel pants.
God, you were beautiful.
"Buck?" A small crease formed between your eyebrows as you took him in and he winced, realising that he probably looked awful. His short hair was stading off in messy strands and his eyes were red rimmed and puffy from exhaustion. The dark bags under his eyes probably didn't help, either.Â
Bucky knew that you'd noticed that something was off, of course.Â
All week, you had watched him with those observant eyyes of yours, checking in on him wheever you could.Â
You didn't push, though. You just let him approach you at his own pace, which he appreciated.
"What are you doing here? Is everything okay? He hated how concerned you sounded. He didn't want to be the reason for your distress, not ever. Actually, he'd rather get shot than make you upset, but thinking about it, that might be a little contradictory.
The admission that he didn't come here because of something serious but solemnly because he couldn't sleep felt even pathetic out loud than it did in his head, if that was even possible.
"I can leave again, though. I know it's late and I really don't want to bother you-"
"Hey, no. None of that. You're always welcome here Buck, you know that," You interruped him gently, keeping him from backtracking before he could even properly start. He wanted to protest again, of course, wanted to apologize for coming to you with his issues this late, but you quickly ushured him inside, like you knew exactly what was going on inside him and scared that if you let him stand in the hallway for a moment longer, he'd bolt again.
Which wasn't too far off the truth, if he was being honest.
When Bucky stepped into the middle of the room, he felt the effect it had on him immediately. The smell alone was enough to soothe him, something sweet and flowery and so you his shoulders lost some of their tension immediately.
His skin tingled where you placed your hand on his arm and he was painfully aware of how close you were standing to him right now, looking up at him with the most breathtaking eyes he had ever seen.
They were bothering him right now though, because you still looked so goddamn worried. You didn't need to worry. He was fine, now that he was with you.
"I'm okay," He tried to reassure you, but he wasn't sure how convincing it sounded. "Really."
"Mhmm." The hum was noncomittal at best, your thumb rubbing soft circles over the soft fabric of his shirt.
"Please don't get me wrong, Buck, I don't mind you being here. I really don't. But it's also not common for you to show up at my door at-" You quickly glanced at the clock behind him. "One in the morning. What's actually going on?"
He hated that you were right. This wasn't normal, no matter how much he wanted it to be.
And he wanted it so, so badly.
He wanted to be in your space without having a reason to be there. He wanted your attention more than anythig else in the world and, most importantly, he wanted you.
But he ccouldn't say anything of that, so he just shrugged, swallowing thickly. "I can't sleep. Like, at all. Haven't been ablre to in a couple of days."
It was more than just that and you both knew it, but he was grateful that you didn't call him out on it. "I just didn't want to be alone today, that's all."
The admission hung between you and Bucky had to suppress the urge to physically backtrack. He barely let himself be this vulnerable, too scared of what the consequences might be.
Somehow, you still always managed to reassure him that he never had to be scared with you.
"Oh, Buck." If anybody else would've said it, he most definitely would've taken it for pity. The only thing he could hear in your voice was raw and honest concern as you pulled him down, right into your arms.
He took his chance immediately, of course. He couldn't help how pathetically touch starved he was when it got to you. He tightly wrapped his arms around you as a shudder wrecked his body, his breath hitching violently as he pressed his nose into your neck.
"Shh, it's okay. I got you," You reassured him softly as you cradled the back of his head, your hand soothingly moving up and down his back. The sensations runnning through his body were almost too much for him to handle, every single nerve in his body hyper aware of hoow close you were to him.
He didn't know how long the two of you stayed like that- time always did that whenever he was with you.
Seconds, minutes, a lifetime, he wouldn't know.
Didn't care, either.
He would be content to just be with you for however long you'd have him.
A lifetime did sound pretty damn good, tough.
Only when you pulled back did he come back to reality again.
You brought just enough distance between the two of you to be able to look at his face-not that you would even be able to step back completely. Bucky'd hands were fisted tightly in the fabric of your sweater and you were pretty sure that he didn't even notice he was holding onto you so tightly.
When your eyes found his, your heart squeezed uncomfortably in your chest again. You had barely ever seen him this vulnerable; The lines on his face seemed carved more deeply than they usually were, but somehow, it didn't make him look older.
Quite the opposite, actually.
It was such a raw kind of exhaustion, it almost looked boyish on him.
And even though that part of him, the one that didn't hold onto his guard as much as he usually did was something you wanted to hold onto forever, thre was also nothing more that you wanted to do than make that horrible heaviness his eyes held vanish again.
Preferably right in this goddamn second.
"How about you stay here tonight, hm?" You tried to make it sound like a question as much as possible, even though all you really wanted to do was keep him here until he was feeling better again.
You didn't want him to feel preassured or trapped with you- never that. Selfishly, you wanted him to stay anyway.
"Not too sure I'll be able to sleep."
And there it was.
This wasn't unusual for Bucky. Wether it developed because of Hydra or even before the war you didn't know, but he always did this thing were he didn't take people up on their offers because he was too scared of not living up to their expectations.
What he didn'tt seem to understand was that you didn't have any expactations.Â
You just wanted him, no matter what that might include, or, in this case, didn't include.
You'd never sleep again if it was to keep him company.
"We don't have to." You slowly raised your hand, giving him more than enough time to pull away if he wanted to, before you gently ran your fingers through his hair, a touch he immediately leaned into.
"We can just listen to music, watch a movie, whatever you want. If you fall asleep, you fall asleep. If you don't, we'll just have a good time anyway. No preassure, alright?"
Bucky was having a hard time registering what yoou were saying with your nails scratching his scalp like that, but he nodded anyway. "Alright."
He had to actively stop himself from lettting out a sound when you removed your hand from his hair, immediately missing the feeling of it but also not willing toshow you just how much you wee getting to him.
When you guided him over to the bed and th two of you sat down together, backs reasting against the headboard, Bucky was mindful of keeping at least a little distance between the two of you.
If it was up to him, you'd be wrapped up in his arms by now, but his ma raised him better than that. He was still a gentleman, after all. The least he could do was be respectful, especially with how kind you were to him.
"So, what do you think. Music or a movie?" Bucky would've been fully content with you just keeping to watch your show whilst he kept you company, but he had a feeling that you woouldn't take that for an answer.
"A movie sounds good, if that's okay."Â
You smiled at his response, because you'd fully expected him to hit you with an "I don't care, you decide." or "Whatever works best for you. I'm not picky.", so the actual choice, even if he still phrased it like he was askingg for permission, was defenitely progress.
"Yeah, of course. Anything in particular you wanna watch?"
You were only met with a shrug. "Whatever works best for you. I ain't picky."
Well, that much about progress.
You couldn't help but chuckle at the predictability of the statement, which was just a tad too cute for you to actually be irritated by the cryptic response. "Alright then, my choice it is."
It didn't take you long to find xactly what you were looking for.
It was a black and white movie from the 50s- not old enough for Bucky to know it, but just enough for it to feel familiar.
And again, his predictable reaction was almost too cute for you to handle.
His shoulders relaxed more and more with every minute passing, his chest rising and falling evenly as his eyes were glued on the screen. You were glad that he seemed to enjoy it, that he was comfortable enough in your presence to actually allow himself to be captured by it.
Before you could think better of it, because you barely ever possesed the ability to think around Bucky at all, you slowly wrapped your arm around his shoulders and pulled him closer until his head was resting against your shoulders. He went willingly and you raised your hand agai, going back to running your fingers through the short strands just like you had done a few minutes ago.
A deep eyhale followed almost immediately and you hat to bite your inner cheek to keep yourself from laughing. There was no way that James Buchanan Barnes, ex Winter Soldier and Seargent, was that responsive to something as simple as as touch. "Comfy?"
"With you? Always." Your heart stumbled a little in your chest, feelings flaring up that you refused to acknowledge right now. Instead, you pressed a gentle kiss against his oft hair, the gesture alone saying more than any words ever could.
You were so, so fucked.
"Glad to hear that, Buck."
You didn't know if it was the intimcy of the situation, but somethingg felt different between you and Bucky. It wasn't what you were feeling, exactly. No, this was how you always felt around Bucky. There was nothing new about the feelings thatt went way beyond friendship alone.
Right now, it just felt like you were accepting them instead of pushing them away all the time. There was no careful distance anymore, no akward attempts to keep the line of being friends carefully drawn.
There was no dramatic love confession, either. Just a man who carried way too much weight on his shoulders and you, the one person he trusted enough to help him with it.
Not Sam or Steve. Not even Nat, who might understand better how he was feeling right now.
You.
The realisation caught you off guard not because it was big or life changing, but because you didn't expect it to feel this⊠natural.
It felt like something finally shifted into place, somewhere it had always belonged.
Like the intimacy and closeness you were experiencing right now were how things had always been supposed to be that way.
About halfway through the movie most of Bucky's weight was resting against you now, his head lying fully on your chest.
His breathing had turned slow and shallow too and you could see his eyelids drop every few seconds,before he forced them open again.
"Go to sleep Bucky. You're tired."
"Don't wanna."
Even though thick with sleep, his voice was still laced with stubborness. It made you chuckle a little, because he was very obviously on the brink of passing out.Â
"Any reason for that?"
For a long moment, the only answer you got was a grunt, so you figured he must've actually fallen asleep.
"Don't want this to end."
And there he went, catching you off guard once again.
"Nothing's ending, Buck. I'm not going anywhere."
Now he tilted his head a little, angling it so he could properly meet your eyes. "Still, it'd be different when I wake up."
He wasn't sure what exactly possesed him to actually say this, but he couldn't help himself. Maybe it was proximity between the two of you, because usually, these would be things he'd take to his grave.
"We'd be back to pretending again, sweetheart. And Im not sure if I could handle that. I don't want to pretend anymore. I don't wanna act like I don't feel this way about you, because I do. So much it actually hurts sometimes." Bucky's eyes didn't leave yours for a second and he figured that if he alreadystarted, he might as well go all in now. "I don't want this to end. As a matter of fact, I'd never sleep again if it meant that I'd get to keep you like this forever. And I think the sleep deprevation is really getting to me right now because I would never actually say it like this, but I'm tired. And not only sleepy tired, but tired of pretending like my feelings aren't real. Like this is what friends just do- because it isn't, is it?
Your heart was racing so quickly behind your ripcage now, you could hear it poundng in your ears. There was no way this was actually happening right now and it took you just a moment too long to realise that Bucky had just asked you a question, you quickly shook his head.
He was right. This wasn't what friends did and you couldn't be more relieved that you apparently weren't the only one feeling this.
"And call me crazy, but I feel like this hasn't been friendly for a very long time now."
Bucky's words were slightly slurred because of how tired he was, his accent thicker than what you were used to.
"This ain't up fo me to decide though, darlin'. The only thing I can tell you is that I know what I want and it's sure as hell not being your friend. I wanna be yours, the only question is if you want that, too."
For a five very long seconds, neither of you said anything.
Bucky was just about to pull back, to put some distance between you because he realised that this might've been the entirely wrong situation to confess feelings like that. He was sure that he must've said too much,because that was about the biggest hard launch he could've gone for.
That much about wanting to be gentle.
What Bucky didn't understand was that you weren't not saying anything because you didn't want him like that, but because you were so overwhelmed with your emotions, talking seemed impossible right now.
So instead of giving him the rejection Bucky was already bracing for, you did the best thing you could think of and reached for his face, carefully cradling. His cheek as you leaned down just close enough to push your lips against yours.
It was barely even a kiss, but Bucky still felt like his whole universe rearranged itself and now ircled around that moment alone. Fuck the sun and any other planet that might be important for the solar system to work. Why the hell would he need that if he had you?
"Does that answer your question?"
You still hadn't pulled back and your lips were moving against his with every word you spoke, which was driving him absolutely insane.
He was the one to lean in now, more than ready to give you a proper kiss.
This one wasn't soft or tentive like the first one had been. No, this kiss was desperate and hungry and verything the fog in his brain was allowing him to feel right now. You kissed him back just as fiercely, your fingers curling in his hair causing heat to coil low in his stomach.
Just as he was about to pull you on top of him, very eager to keep going despite nearly falling asleep a few minutes ago, you pulled back again.
This time, he couldn't he couldn't help the embarrasingly desperate sound that escaped his mouth.
He could feel heat creeping up his neck, but you only smiled.
"As much as I want to," You murmured and pressed a soft kiss against his forehead, one he greedily leaned into, fucking on seeming needy now, because he was.
And he was also pretty sure that you'd noticed by now. "You need rest, my love. You're running on fumes."
He was feeling dizzy again, butt he was almost completely sure that it was because of the petname now, not because of the exhaustion.
Damnit, wht the hell were you doing with him?"
"This isn't a dream, right? This is real? I'm not going crazy, am I?"
Again,he might sound pathetic, but he couldn't help himself. He wanted this so badly, he ouldn't even stand the thought of not having you, especially now that he got a taste of it and knew exactly how having you could look like.
"Not a dream," You confirmed, smile widening as you pressed another kiss to his face. "This is very real, I promise."
"You sure?"
"Very sure, Buck."Â
He still wanted to pull you down on top of him and kiss you senseless until neither of you could breathe anymore,but you were bing reasonable. He did need sleep,wether he wanted to admit it or not.
He decided to do the next best thing and stillpulled you into his arms, just without the kissing part. Bucky's embraced you tightly, almost like he still didn't believe that any of this was real.Â
If he was being honest, he didn't. Maybe he had died from all the goddamn exhaustion and somehow ended up in heaven. Even though he wasn't sure how that would be more realistic than this happening in real life.
Your head was resting on his chest just like his had when yoou were watching the movie, your arm loosely wrapped around his torso.
He let himself enjoy the view just a moment loonger, eyes on your beautiful face as you smiled up at him.
In that moment, Bucky came to the conclusion of exactly three things.
First, you were the most breathtaking sight he had ever laid his eyes on in his whole life.
Second, he would go through every single second of his 109 years of living if it meant that this was where he would end up.
And third, it might actually not hurt to close his eyes for a bit.
For the firstt time since way before the war, Bucky Barnes managed ro sleep through the whole night without nightmares, pain or gunfire interrupting his sleep.

A/N: Entry for June Jukebox Scribbles over @societynsoelsscribbles
Prompt: June 3rd - âWhen I look out my window.â
June was suffocatingly warm, Chris was leaning back in the grass, his bare chest catching the silver glow of the moon, looking incredibly handsome and he knew it. He was leaving for training in a few weeks, and it was becoming too real. Â
He turned his head, a devastatingly charming, lopsided smirk playing on his lips. He leaned down, his voice dropping to a low, seductive rumble against your ear.
"When I look out my window and see all those stars," he started, fingers tracing slow, maddening circles on your hip, "I want to think about your eyes... and how they looked when you were your, wrapped around me. Squeezing me.â
You let out a soft snort, though your chest did a stupid little flutter. You poked him squarely in the center of his chest. "I'm not fucking you outside... so you can be all dreamy while in space."
Beck groaned, burying his face in the crook of your neck, his lips brushing against your collarbone in a silent, warm plea. "Come on, that way when you look up at the stars when I'm gone you'll think of this moment too. It'll be romantic."
"Still not going to fuck you outside," you repeated, though your voice lacked any real bite as his hands slid lower, reaching your thighs.
To be fair, the mental image did have appeal. Chris over you under the canopy of the midnight sky, his body driving into yours on a soft blanket in the grass. But it was June.
You absolutely refused to get your ass eaten alive by mosquitoes just so your dorky astronaut boyfriend could have a rope under the stars.
"Inside," you negotiated, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling his mouth down to yours. "But I'll leave the blinds open."

$ log - steve rogers is the neighbourhood sweetheart and one helluva firefighter: steady, unshakeable, easy smiles. then you moved in next door and ruined him entirely. totally by accident, not on purpose at all.

$ echo âwill be more of this upcomingâ > authors-note.txt
Steve has lived in this neighbourhood long enough that the street essentially claimed him. He just shows up. Weâre talking block barbecues, school fundraisers, even Mrs. Okafor's ongoing battle with her garden drainage.
He doesn't really announce it, he just comes along and brings food, rolls his sleeves up if there's work, and stays until it's done. Soon, people noticed and they started expecting it. Then they started planning around him, which would embarrass him terribly if anyone said so out loud, so by unspoken agreement, nobody does.
The elderly women treat him like a shared custody arrangement:
Mrs. Kowalski flags him every other Tuesday for her bins. Itâs unnecessary, but she wraps up pierogis while he waits, which he eats on the walk back looking faintly guilty about how good they are.
Lakshmi flags him for lightbulbs.
Eileen flags him for the same lightbulbs but makes better biscuits and she knows it.
He receives all of this with complete sincerity, which is exactly why it keeps happening.
He once spent forty minutes helping Mrs. Patel repot a succulent. He retains everything she told him. He wouldn't understand why that's funny.
At the station he's easy â steady, doesn't grandstand. Steve makes the new guys feel like asking questions is normal.
Off the clock he's the farmer's market on Saturdays, the coffee place where his order's started before he's through the door, the kind of person who makes a two-minute interaction feel like it counts for something. Faintly infuriating, but most people like him anyway.
He knows the neighbourhood the way you know something you've paid close attention to for years. Routes, rhythms, which houses flood, who's always up at five.
He'd noticed you the way he noticed most things â just accurately. Lights on late, fast in the mornings, always somewhere to be, a particular way of getting there. He filed it away the way he filed most things about you. Politely and appropriately. It was all locked behind a door he had absolutely no intention of opening.
The call comes in for a cat: ginger tom, third incident this week, known attitude problem, no self-preservation instinct. Steve takes it because the woman who called is seventy-three and genuinely distressed. That's the full extent of his decision-making process.
Biscuit has wedged himself into the oak tree between numbers 14 and 16 with the conviction of an animal who got up here on purpose and is reconsidering nothing.
Steve climbs up after him, talking low and steady the way he does with animals and people mid-panic. Though Biscuit is visibly not soothed and keeps shifting another six inches out of reach every time Steve gets close.
"Come on, buddy." He calmly says, his frame patiently coming up. "Nobody wants to be up here."
Biscuit disagrees, audibly.
Steve shifts his weight, reaches a little further. Unprompted, his eyes go sideways without his permission. The window at number 16 is right there. Open with the curtains pulled all the way back, and you'reâÂ
You're justâÂ
Standing at the dresser in something his brain registers first as very small and second as lace. Then stops registering things in any useful sequence because all available processing has rerouted somewhere completely unhelpful and perhaps southwards.
He freezes.
Not subtly, nor a polite glance-and-away. Instead, Steve completely freezes â one hand on the ladder, one hand halfway to a cat that no longer exists to him, eyes fixed on the window. He harnessed the expression of a man who has walked into a wall he didn't see coming and hasn't quite caught up with gravity yet.
You move through your room unhurried and unbothered, like you're entirely alone.
Steve swallows.
You reach for something on the dresser â he's not cataloguing what, his brain isn't â and shift your weight in a way that is probably just moving but lands somewhere in his chest like a minor seismic event.
A sound escapes him; it was small and almost involuntary. The sound of a man who has looked directly at the sun and has absolutely no one to blame but himself.
A tiny, helpless whimper. Biscuit's ears swivel.
Biscuit, who has resisted every professional extraction technique Steve has attempted for the past forty minutes, takes personal offence to the noise and responds the only way he knows how.
First scratch catches Steve across the jaw before he even sees it coming. He winces, but his eyes still stay on the window.
Second scratch, same cheek, harder. He blinks, while his grip tightens on the ladder.
Third one. That one lands, and Steve finally â finally â drags his gaze off you like it physically costs him something. Three thin lines of pink were already rising on his jaw. He looks at the cat.
Biscuit stares back, all ancient and terrible. Steve holds eye contact with the cat for a long moment.
Then, slowly, helplessly, he turns back toward the window. Just once more, one last look, like a man who needs to confirm he really did see what he thinks he saw.
You're looking right at him, barely embarrassed.
 Just â looking, with a small smile at the corner of your mouth that says you've known he was there for quite some time and have been enjoying yourself thoroughly.
Steve's ears go scarlet, almost the shade of his bright uniform..
He faces forward and gulps while squaring his shoulders. Steve seemed a man bracing for something that requires genuine courage, which right now is simply moving his body down a ladder. He gets both hands around Biscuit with the neat practiced economy, tucks him firmly under one arm, and descends.
The elderly woman at the bottom is overjoyed. She notices the scratches and makes a soft horrified noise.
"Oh, Steven â your face â"
"I'm fine, ma'am," Steve says, on complete autopilot. He does not look up at the window for any final glances. But, he ultimately lasts about four seconds.

Note This is porn without plot. Which is weird because I am not that much into writing smut because I can be awkward as hell but some things happened and now here we are. This was gonna be something that was pretended to be at 1k words, a blowjob little thing but then... yes. Expect some Bucky whimpering. On a couch. Lovely. Still, smut might not be my thing but my thing surely is making them so nauseous because they're so in love.
You and Bucky started your evening by watching a movie. âRevenge Of The Sithâ, Bucky picked this time and groaned a bit when you started fawning over Anakin. By the end of it, you two were just talking, about the movie, a mission that tired you both the week before and even if Bucky liked that new dish soap he picked last time you went for groceries. Your voice a low, familiar hum that calm him as you curled into his side on the too-small couch in his Brooklyn apartment. The one heâd picked because it forced you close. Youâd always suspected that.
Once Bucky realized there was no more popcorn, he stood up, walking towards the kitchen for more and in that moment, you sat on the floor, loving the way the rug he bought a couple months ago felt on your knees. He came back and his grin made you feel your cheeks warm. He didnât say a thing and only sat back down, sprawled across the couch, all six feet of super-soldier taking up every inch of the cushions like a very large, very dangerous housecat claiming a sunbeam.
The only light in his living room is the blue-white glow of the city through the window, catching on the sharp line of his jaw, the metal glint of his left hand resting on the back of the couch. Heâs warm. Solid. A wall of muscle and quiet tension that only ever seems to unspool completely when itâs just the two of you. Heâd been sharing the popcorn with you, feeding you from the bowl in his hands while you sat down, facing him.
After a few minutes, you realized that Bucky hadnât said a word for a while, only humming when you say something and the truth is that heâd been watching you. Watching the way your hair fell over your shoulder, the way you bit your lip when you told a particular fascinating story that happened on your trip with Wanda, the way you shifted occasionally to get more comfortable on the floor until eventually youâd leaned back against the couch between his legs.
That was when youâd felt it.
Not intentionallyâGod, not intentionally at first. Youâd just been trying to find a position that didnât make your neck hurt, so youâd tilted your head back, let it rest against the inside of his thigh, and blinked up at him for no reason other than to check if he was still awake.
He was awake. He was very, painfully, obviously awake.
The bulge in his jeans was impossible to miss from this angle. You could see the thick curve of it, heavy and half-hard, pressed against the rough fabric like it was trying to escape. And there was something about the way he was looking at youâbottom lip caught between his teeth, pupils blown wide despite the dim lighting, chest barely moving like he was afraid to breathe too loud and break whatever spell had fallen over the roomâthat made you want to be very, very still.
His left leg is bouncingâa nervous tic heâs never quite shaken despite the century of life behind him. You press your palm flat against his shin, stilling the motion, and the muscle immediately goes soft under your touch.
âSweetheart.â His voice is a low rumble, already frayed at the edges. âWhat are you really doing down there?â
You don't answer with words. You just turn around on your knees and shift closer, nudging his knees apart with your shoulders until you can slot yourself perfectly back into the vee of his legs. His thighs are thick, solid as oak trees, and when you let the weight of your head fall against the inside of his right thigh, you feel the immediate, violent tremor that runs through him. The bowl drops, the popcorn making a disaster that neither you or Bucky pay attention to. His flesh hand comes up to hover uselessly over your hair, not quite touching, like heâs afraid youâre a hallucination.
âThis okay?â you murmur, but you know itâs more than okay. You can feel the answer pressed against the curve of your cheek, hidden beneath the worn dark blue jeans heâd pulled on after his shower. Itâs not subtle. Itâs a heavy, thick shape, half-hard and twitching with every exhale you deliberately push through your nose against the sensitive seam of his thigh.
Bucky swallows so loud you hear it click. âYouâre gonna kill me,â he whispers, and it sounds like a prayer.
Thatâs when you look up.
You take your time, letting your lashes drag against the coarse fabric of his jeans as you tilt your chin. First, you see the white-knuckle grip he has on the arm of the couchâhis flesh hand, veins standing out like rivers. Then his stomach, the muscles jumping beneath his thin henley. And finally, his face.
Oh, his face.
Your man looks utterly wrecked and you havenât even touched him yet. His jaw is slack, his bottom lip caught between his teeth, and his eyesâthose impossibly blue, ocean-deep eyesâare blown so wide with want that the pupil has swallowed nearly all the iris. Heâs staring down at you like youâre the last source of light in a universe going dark.
You blink up at him, slow and syrupy sweet. Innocent. The picture of placid devotion. âWhat?â you ask, your voice a featherlight thing. âIâm just sitting here.â
A broken sound catches in his throat. Not a groan, not a sighâsomething higher, more desperate. A whimper. Youâve heard him roar in battle, heard him snarl at threats, heard him laugh that rare, beautiful laugh. But this. This small, punched-out noise of pure, unraveling need? It goes straight between your own legs like a live wire.
âYou know,â he grits out, finally letting his hand fall to cup the back of your skull. He doesnât push. He just holds, his thumb stroking a frantic rhythm behind your ear. âYou know exactly what youâre fucking doing.â
You turn your head, just a fraction, just enough to press your open mouth to the inside of his thigh. You only taste the cloth but still, thereâs his essence there and when you drag your tongue in a wet, slow stripe over the fabric, his hips jerk off the couch. His cock bumps against your cheekbone, a hot, heavy brand even through the layers, and you feel a gush of slickness soak through your own underwear.
âBucky,â you say, and itâs the first real thing youâve said. Not a question. A promise.
His metal hand comes up to cover his own mouth, the cold vibranium stark against his flushed lips. âDonât,â he begs, but he doesnât know what heâs begging for. Donât stop? Donât look at him like that? Donât make him come apart before youâve even gotten his jeans off?
Then his hand came up to cup your cheek, the vibranium somehow warm against your skin, and he said your name like it was the only word he had left. âWhat do you want?â he asked, and his voice was so soft, so careful, so achingly tender that you felt tears prick at the corners of your eyes. âTell me what you want and itâs yours. Anything. Everything. Just tell me.â
You turned your head just enough to press a kiss to his palm, then his wrist. âI want to make you feel good,â you said. âI want to take care of you. I want to watch you fall apart because of me. Can I do that, James? Can I be good for you?â
His answer was to pull you forward by the back of your neck and kiss you like he was drowning.
It wasnât gentle. It wasnât soft. It was desperate, hungry, all teeth and tongue and the kind of wanting that came from years of deprivation. He kissed you like he was trying to crawl inside your skin, like he needed to taste every corner of your mouth to convince himself you were real.
When he finally pulled back, you were both breathing hard. His lips were kiss-swollen, his eyes half-lidded, and the bulge in his jeans had gone from noticeable to obscene.
âFloor,â he said, and his voice was wrecked. âYou want to be on the floor, sweetheart? Then stay on the floor. But if youâre going to kneel there looking like that, youâd better put that pretty mouth to use.â
The command in his voice made your stomach flip. Youâd seen Bucky be soft, had held him through nightmares and panic attacks and the kind of grief that came from losing seventy years of your life. But this Buckyâthe one who looked at you like he wanted to devour you, the one whose chest was heaving with the effort of restraintâthis Bucky made your thighs press together.
Youâre merciless. You nuzzle closer, letting your nose trace the prominent line of his erection through the dark denim. Heâs thick, so fucking thick, and when you breathe in, you can smell himâmusk and heat and something uniquely Bucky that makes your mouth water. He watches your fingers work on his belt, work the leather free, the metal buckle clinking softly. His breath is coming in short, sharp pants. His thighs are trembling under your hands, the muscles jumping like live wires. You take your time, dragging the zipper down tooth by tooth, and you feel the tension in him ratchet higher with every click. Your fingers hook into the waistband of his jeans, and he lifts his hips before you even have to ask, a man desperate to give you anything, everything.
You blink again. Sweeter this time and pull them down just past his thighs, just enough. His cock springs free, slapping against his lower belly with a wet sound, the tip already glistening, flushed a deep, angry red. Heâs beautiful. All of him is beautiful, but thisâthe vulnerability of him, the way heâs trembling like a leaf in a storm while youâre still fully clothedâis a different kind of gorgeous. Thick enough to stretch your jaw, long enough to make your mouth water, curving slightly towards his stomach. Youâve had it in every way imaginable, but seeing it like thisâinches from your face, twitching under your gazeânever gets old.
âLook at me,â you command softly, and his gaze snaps down to yours. There are tears clinging to his lashes. Actual tears. He is so far gone for you, so utterly, pathetically down bad, that just the sight of you kneeling between his thighs has him on the verge of sobbing. âBuck,â you murmur, your voice a soft, sleepy thing. âYouâre all tense.â
He makes a sound. A strangled, low thing that rumbles up from the back of his throat. His right hand comes up, hovering in the air like he doesnât know what to do with itâtouch you, push you away, fist it in his own hair. His pupils are blown wide, swallowing the grey of his iruses until theyâre almost black.
âFuck,â you breathed, and it wasnât performative. It was genuine awe. âYouâre so big, Buck. How is this going to fit?â
His head fell back against the couch cushion with a thud. âDonât. Donât say things like that. Iâm alreadyââ He groaned as you wrapped your hand around the base, feeling the weight of him in your palm. âIâm not going to last. You know Iâm not going to last. Youâre too much. Youâre too fucking much, and I love you, and I canâtââ
Bucky makes another sound. A desperate, keening little whimper that would embarrass him if he had any blood left in his brain. âStop looking at it like that,â he begs.
âLike what?â
âLike itâs aâa popsicle. Like youâre about toâfuck, sweetheart, your mouth. I can feel you thinking about it.â
You grin, wide and sharp, and finally, finally, you wrap your hand around the base. Heâs hot. Velvet over steel. He jerks in your grip, and a bead of precum wells up at the tip, pearly and glistening in the low light.
You lean in, slow, and you donât break eye contact. You let your tongue dart out, just the very tip, and you lick it away.
Buckyâs entire body seizes. His metal hand slams down on the couch arm, leaving dents in the leather. His right hand flies to your hair, not pushing, just⊠holding. Anchoring. His fingers twist into the strands, and heâs shaking.
âOh, God,â he whispers. âOh, God. Please. Please, baby. I needâI need you toââ
âYou need me to what?â you ask, and you kiss the head of his cock. Soft. Chaste. A peck. Like youâre saying goodnight.
He sobs. Actually sobs, a wet, broken sound that goes straight between your legs. âDonât make me say it.â
âSay it.â
âSuck it,â he gasps, the words tumbling out in a rush. âPlease suck my cock. Please. Iâve been good. Iâve been so good all day, I did the dishes, I didnât complain about the traffic, Iâplease, sweetheart, justâI need your mouth. I need it so bad I canât think.â He whines a bit, making your thighs clench. âIâm not gonna last,â he warns, his voice cracking on the last syllable. âBaby, please, I canâtâyou waited too long, you were down there looking so pretty, I already almostââ
You cut him off by leaning forward and dragging the flat of your tongue from the base of his shaft to the very tip.
The sound he makes is inhuman. A deep, guttural keen that vibrates through the floorboards. His back arches off the couch, his metal hand scrabbling for purchase on the cushion, tearing a small hole in the fabric. His hips buck again, and you let him, letting the head of his cock bump against your lips, your chin, smearing precome across your skin like a gloss.
âPlease,â he sobs, and itâs not a controlled plea. Itâs a wrecked, animal noise. âPlease, sweetheart, I need your mouth, I needâfuck, I need.â
You take pity on him. Youâre not cruel, not really. You just like him like thisâwrecked and begging and so full of want it spills out of every word.
You wrap your lips around the head and sink down.
The sound he made was inhuman. It was a sob and a moan and a prayer all rolled into one, and it vibrated through the room like a physical force. His hips bucked involuntarily, pushing himself deeper into your throat, and you had to brace your hands on his thighs to keep from gagging.
âSorryâshit, sorry, Iâm sorryââ He was already apologizing, already trying to pull back, but you held on. You looked up at him through wet lashes, tears already forming at the corners of your eyes from the stretch, and you saw the exact moment he broke.
âOh, god. Oh, fuck. Baby. Baby, please.â
You couldnât answer with your mouth full, so you showed him instead. You relaxed your throat, took him deeper, let the tip press against the back of your palate until your eyes watered and your nose pressed against the thatch of dark hair at his base. You held there for a moment, feeling him pulse against your tongue, tasting the salt of his precome spreading across your taste buds.
His hands fly to your head, both of them now, flesh and metal tangling in your hair. He doesnât push. He holds, his grip desperate but reverent, as if youâre something holy heâs terrified of breaking. You take him deeper, relaxing your throat, letting him feel the wet, silky clutch of it. His hips stutter, barely controlled, and he starts to babble.
âOh my god. Oh my god, thatâsâyouâre so good, youâre so fucking good, how are you this goodâI love you, I love you, Iâm sorry for swearing, Iâm sorry, fuck, fuckââ
You pull off with a wet pop, just to look at him. Just to watch the devastation on his face. His chest is heaving, his hair is plastered to his forehead, and his eyes are glazed, unfocused, like heâs already floating somewhere above his body.
âYou apologize right now, honey?â you ask and smirk, licking your lips slowly, deliberately.
He chokes on a laugh that turns into a moan. âYou make meâahâyou make me crazy, I canât think straight, everythingâs justâplease put it back, I was so close, baby, I was so fucking closeââ
You oblige. But this time, you donât tease. You swallow him down to the root, and you stay there. Your throat works around him, your tongue pressing flat against the thick vein on the underside, and you feel the exact moment he shatters.
You hum around him, a low vibration, and his hand tightens in your hair. âFuck. Fuck, baby, thatâsâthatâs it. Just like that. Oh, Jesus.â
You take him deeper, inch by aching inch. You let your tongue press flat against the vein on the underside. You let your saliva pool and drip, messy and wet, because you know he likes it sloppy. You know he likes the soundsâthe wet, obscene gluck of your mouth working him, the way you gag just a little when he hits the back of your throat.
Heâs babbling now. A stream of consciousness, raw and unfiltered.
âSo good. So fucking good at this. Look at youâlook at my pretty girl with her mouth full of my cock. Youâre soâohâyouâre so beautiful like this. On your knees for me. Blinking up at me with those pretty fucking eyes.â
You moan in answer, and the vibration makes his whole body shudder.
When you finally pulled back, a string of saliva connected your bottom lip to the head of his cock. You wiped it away with the back of your hand and smiled up at him.
âGood?â
Bucky looked like he was having a religious experience. His mouth was open, his eyes were glassy, and his chest was heaving like heâd just run a marathon. His metal hand was gripping the couch cushion so hard that you could hear the fabric starting to tear.
âGood,â he repeated, and then laughed, a broken, breathless sound. âGood. Yeah. That wasâyouâre trying to kill me. Youâre literally trying to murder me, and Iâm going to let you, because I canâtâI canât fucking think when you look at me like that.â
âThen donât think,â you said again, and went back down.
You built a rhythm this time, slow and deliberate. You wanted to savor him, wanted to learn every sound he made, every twitch of his hips, every tremor in his thighs. You found that he was vocalâgod, was he vocalâand that every time you hummed around him, he made this desperate little whimper that went straight to your core.
âPlease,â he kept saying, like a mantra. âPlease, please, pleaseââ
You werenât sure what he was asking for. More? Less? Permission to come? Permission to grab your hair and fuck your throat the way you could tell he wanted to? It didnât matter. You knew what you wanted to give him.
You pull off slowly, dragging your lips up the length of him, and you let the tip pop out of your mouth with a wet sound. A string of spit connects you to him, and you break it with a flick of your tongue.
âMore,â you say, your voice hoarse. âTell me more.â
He looks down at you, and his eyes are glazed, his mouth open, his chest heaving. He looks like a man whoâs been drowning and just found air.
âI think about this all the time,â he confesses, and his voice is a whisper now, raw and honest. âWhen Iâm on missions. When weâre in meetings with the team and they wonât shut up and then youâre there writing whatever in your book in those old sweatpants and you look do hot it makes me so hard. When Iâm trying to sleep. I think about you on your knees. I think about the way you look up at me. Like Iâmâlike Iâm something worth kneeling for.â
You feel a hot, sharp ache bloom in your chest. Itâs not just the words. Itâs the way he says them. Like a secret. Like a prayer.
âYou are,â you say, and you mean it. âYouâre everything worth kneeling for.â
You take him back again into your mouth. You sink down until your throat spasms around him, until tears prick at the corners of your eyes. You stay there for a count of three, four, five, your nails digging into his thighs. Your head kept bobbing up and down, your hand working on the base when you were too busy sucking and licking at his head.
It starts with a whimperâhigh, thin, desperate. Then his whole body seizes, his thighs clamping around your ribs like a vise, his hands yanking your hair hard enough to sting. He screams. A muffled, desperate thing, bitten off behind his fist. His whole body arches off the couch, and his hips jerk, and this time he doesnât stop them. He thrusts up into your throat, shallow and frantic, and you let him. You take it. You fucking love it.
âIâm gonnaâbaby, Iâm gonna come,â he warns, his voice cracking. âYou have toâif you donât wantâfuck, you have to stopââ
You double down. You suck harder, hollow your cheeks, bob your head in a fast, filthy rhythm. You reach up and cup his balls, heavy and tight, and you roll them gently in your palm and just like that, he comes apart.
He comes with a broken wail, a broken shout of your name his hips pumping up into your mouth, his release hitting the back of your throat in hot, thick pulses. You swallow everything, greedy for it, and you keep sucking, keep milking him, moaning around him as the vibrations draw out every last shudder from his frame, until heâs whimpering.
He goes limp like a marionette with cut strings.
You stay where you are, mouth soft around his softening length, until his fingers loosen in your hair and start stroking, gentle now, soothing and pushing at your head, too sensitive to take any more. Only then you pull off slowly, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand. Your lips are swollen, your chin wet, your eyes still glassy with tears. You look up at him, and heâs crying.
Tears stream silently down his temples, disappearing into his hairline. His lips are parted, panting, and heâs staring at the ceiling like heâs just seen the face of God. You press a kiss to the inside of his thigh, then his knee, then crawl up his body until youâre straddling his lap, your forehead pressed to his.
âHey,â you whisper, cupping his stubbled jaw. âYou okay?â
He blinks. His eyes focus on your face, and a smile breaks across his tear-stained cheeksâwobbly, radiant, so full of love it makes your own chest ache. He pulls you into his chest, wrapping both arms around you so tightly you canât move, burying his face in your neck.
âI love you so much,â he mumbles into your skin, voice wrecked and hoarse. âI love you. I canât words. I forgot how to words.â
You laugh, soft and fond, and kiss the side of his head. âThatâs okay. I love you too.â
Heâs a disaster. Sprawled across the couch, his jeans around his knees, his chest heaving. His face is flushed, his eyes are wet, and heâs staring at you like youâve hung the moon.
âCome here,â he rasps, and he hauls you against his chest, burying his face in your neck. His arms wrap around you, tight and desperate, flesh hand and metal hand both clutching at your back like heâs afraid youâll disappear.
âI love you,â he mumbles into your skin. âI love you so much. That wasâfuck. That wasââ
âGood?â you offer, running your fingers through his sweaty hair.
âI blacked out for a second,â he admits. âLike, actually blacked out. Saw the light. Met God and he just said, âTell your girlfriend sheâs a menace.ââ
You laugh, a bright, startled sound, and he lifts his head just enough to look at you. Thereâs so much warmth in his eyes. So much softness. The kind of love that doesnât need words, that lives in the curve of his smile and the way his thumb is tracing circles on your spine.
âIâm not done with you,â you say, and you feel him stir again beneath you. Already. The supersoldier serum is a gift.
His eyebrows shoot up. âYou wantânow?â
âI want to ride you,â you say, plain and simple. âI want to be on top. I want to watch your face while I fuck myself on your cock.â
His hands tighten on your hips. His pupils dilate again, swallowing the grey. âYeah,â he breathes, licking his bottom lip while watching your face. âYeah, okay. Yeah, I want that. I want that so bad.â
You donât bother with stripping. You just reach down and shove your own shorts and underwear to the side, just enough to bare yourself. Youâre soaked, slick and ready, and when you line him up and sink down onto him in one slow, steady motion, you both groan.
Heâs thick inside you, stretching you open, filling you up. You pause when heâs fully seated, just breathing, just feeling. His head falls forward to rest against your collarbone, and his hands are shaking on your waist.
âSo tight,â he whispers. âSo warm. Fuck, sweetheart. You feel like coming home even when I fucked you this morning. Oh shit.â
You start to move.
Slow at first. A gentle roll of your hips, a lazy grind that makes his eyes flutter shut. You brace your hands on his shoulders, feeling the hard muscle flex under your palms, and you find a rhythm. Up and down. Rocking and circling. Every drag of his cock against your walls sends sparks up your spine.
Heâs watching you. His eyes are open now, dark and hungry, tracking every shift of your expression. Your bitten lips. Your flushed cheeks. The way your head falls back when you find the right angle.
âThatâs it,â he murmurs, and his voice is low and rough and so full of awe. âThatâs my girl. Take what you need. Use me. Iâm yours. Iâm so fucking yours.â
You speed up. The couch creaks under you, the springs groaning in protest. Your thighs are burning, but you donât care. You chase the feeling building low in your belly, the tight coil of pleasure thatâs winding tighter with every thrust.
Buckyâs hands roam. Up your sides, under your shirt, across your stomach. His metal fingers are cool against your heated skin, a delicious contrast. He palms your breasts, thumbs your nipples, and you moan, loud and wanton.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he says, and his voice is breaking again. âLook at you. Riding me like you were made for it. Like you were made for me.â
âI was,â you gasp. âI was made for you, Bucky. Only you.â
His hips buck up to meet yours, and the new angle makes you see stars. You cry out, your nails digging into his shoulders, and he does it again. And again. A relentless, perfect rhythm that has you teetering on the edge.
âCome for me,â he begs, and his hands are gripping your hips hard enough to bruise. âPlease, baby. I want to feel you come around my cock. I want you toâfuckâI want you to soak me. Let go. Iâve got you. Iâve got you.â
You fall.
It crashes over you like a wave, white-hot and blinding, and you scream his name. Your body clenches around him, vice-tight, and he follows right after, a broken moan torn from his chest as he spills inside you.
You collapse against him, boneless and trembling. His arms close around you, holding you safe, and you press your face into the crook of his neck. His heart is pounding against your chest, a wild, frantic rhythm that slowly, slowly begins to slow.
Neither of you speaks for a long time. The city hums outside the window. The couch is a mess. Youâre both a mess.
He presses a kiss to your temple. Then your forehead. Then the tip of your nose.
âIâm fucking down bad for you,â he says quietly, like a confession. âLike, embarrassingly down bad. Sam and Steve make fun of me. Natasha says I look at you like a puppy watching its owner eat bacon.â
You laugh, weak and breathless. âA puppy?â
âA very pathetic, very lovesick puppy,â he confirms. âSheâs not wrong.â
You tilt your head back to look at him. Heâs soft now. Sated. The sharp edges of his want have smoothed into something gentle and warm. Heâs still flushed, still a little sweaty, and his hair is a complete disaster.
âGood,â you say, and you kiss the underside of his jaw. âBecause Iâm down bad for you too. Embarrassingly. Pathetically.â
He grins, wide and bright, and itâs the most beautiful thing youâve ever seen.
Later, after heâs carried you to the bathroom and cleaned you up with ridiculous tenderness, after heâs changed the sheets on the bed because âthereâs no way weâre sleeping on that couch tonight, sweetheart, itâs a biohazardââlater, when youâre tucked under the blankets with his arm around your waist and his face buried in your hair, he speaks again.
âHey,â he murmurs.
âHmm?â
âNext time,â he says, and you can hear the smile in his voice. âCan I kneel for you?â
You turn in his arms, pressing your forehead to his and grin. It's a silent conversation, knowing that he loves spending his time like that. He kisses you then, soft and slow, and you fall asleep like that. Tangled together. Wrapped up in each other. Two people so ridiculously, embarrassingly, down bad that it loops all the way back around to being the easiest thing in the world.
Bucky got on his nerves. Constantly. Theyâd surely break out in an argument so Sam doesnât know why he wants that so badly.
He isnât even sure Bucky stayed but Sam hadnât seen him get on that jet with TâChalla last night, so there was a chance he was wandering the halls somewhere.
Sam just wanted to see Bucky. Not that heâd admit that out loud.
