You were running a little late to meet up with Bucky for a quick lunch break. He was supposed to work some intel with Sam all day for an upcoming mission, but he managed to get a quick break away from work which he wanted to spend with you. He had called you up an hour ago, his deep voice warming your heart even through the phone, to see when you were having your lunch break at work so that you and him could eat together at your favorite cafe—that cozy little place with the exposed brick walls and the smell of freshly ground coffee beans.

You were only a few minutes late, but you knew Bucky had limited time so you were stressing a little bit, wanting to spend as much time with him as you could. Your heart was already beating faster at the thought of seeing him.

As you walked into the cafe, the bell above the door announcing your arrival, you saw him sitting at your favorite table in the corner—the one by the window where the afternoon sun created a perfect golden halo around him. His nose was deep in a book—his original copy of The Hobbit, the worn cover showing years of love and countless re-reads.

"Hi, babe. I hope you haven't been waiting too long. I tried to get here as soon as possible," you said, slightly out of breath from your quick walk.

As you sat down in your chair, shrugging off your jacket and letting it drape over the back, Bucky put his book down and reached for your hand. His metal hand glinted in the sunlight as he brought your hand to his lips, giving it a lingering kiss at the back, his stubble tickling your skin. His gentleman gestures made your heart flutter, sending waves of warmth through your entire body. Even after all these years together, he never stopped making you feel special and loved, treating you like you were the most precious thing in his world.

"I've waited decades for you, my dear love. I can wait a few more minutes," he said while giving you that boyish grin that made your heart almost jump out of your chest, his blue eyes twinkling with affection.

"I was only five minutes late you over dramatic ass," you teased, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze to let him know you were joking, which he knew from the way your eyes crinkled at the corners.

"But I'm your ass, right?" he teased back, wiggling his eyebrows in that ridiculous way that only he could make endearing, making you giggle.

"Yes you are, Bucky. My one and only."

Although you and he were teasing each other in this moment, his remark was his truth. He had told you time and time again, usually in quiet moments late at night when his guard was down, that he would go through all those painful and lonely years all over again if it meant he would always find his way home to you.

"Alright, what should we get then," you asked, glancing down at the slightly worn menu. "The club sandwich sounds delicious. Don't you think, babe?" Bucky was only staring at you, not even paying attention to the items on the menu as he was busy admiring your beauty, his eyes soft and full of love.

"Hmm, you look so good today, Mrs. Barnes." Ever since your wedding a month ago, a small intimate ceremony in Brooklyn where you both had shed happy tears, Bucky haven't stopped calling you that. He was so proud and grateful that you wanted to take his last name. He never pressured you to take it, but you wanted nothing more than to be Mrs. Barnes. It gave you butterflies every time he called you that, making your heart soar.

Looking down at yourself, you were wearing the most basic clothes you owned, opting for a little more comfort than glamorous while at work. Your hair and makeup were done as simple as possible, just enough to look presentable.

"I know what you're gonna say, doll. That you don't look anything special right now, but this is the most beautiful to me. Your natural beauty is breathtaking. You look gorgeous when you get all dolled up as well, but you like this, is my favorite, Mrs. Barnes." His voice was soft but sincere, filled with genuine adoration.

You felt heat rush to your cheeks at his words, a smile coming across your lips, your heart swelling with love for this man.

"Hmm, thank you, Mr. Barnes. You don't look so bad yourself," you uttered, nibbling your bottom lip.

He was wearing a black t-shirt that clung to his torso like a second skin, his defined muscles etched in the material. His biceps appearing to almost burst through the shirt, the metal arm gleaming subtly under the fabric. You had been eyeing him ever since you sat down, practically drooling at how the shirt stretched across his broad chest. You shook your head, snapping yourself out of your desire.

"OK, but seriously, what are we ordering to eat. We don't have much time together and I'm starving," you said, getting back on track with the lunch and looking down at the menu once more, trying to focus on the words instead of your gorgeous husband.

"I want to eat you, doll," he said with desire in his tone, his voice dropping an octave lower, sending shivers down your spine.

"Well, if you manage to make it home tonight, I might give you a taste, pretty boy," you teased, winking at him, enjoying the way his pupils dilated at your words.

"Such a tease, baby."

"Always."

After lunch, you walked out hand in hand to his sleek black motorcycle that was parked outside. You stood on your toes, wrapping your arms around his neck while his strong hands found your waist, holding you firmly to him, the cool metal of his hand a pleasant contrast to the warmth of his other. He gave you a passionate, slow kiss, not wanting to leave you just yet, his lips moving against yours with practiced tenderness.

"I'm gonna miss you, Bucky."

"Me too, doll. I promise I will try to make it home as soon as I can. You owe me a taste, remember," he said, giving you a wink before finding your lips again for a final kiss, this one deeper and more promising.

"I love you, Mr. Barnes," you mumbled against his lips, breathing in his familiar scent.

"And I love you, Mrs. Barnes."
