You slowly stirred. You turned and buried your face further into Bucky’s chest, feeling him sleepily wrap his arm around your bare waist. You hummed contently at the feeling of the cool metal brushing against you.

You lay there for a bit, just enjoying the presence of your lover, before your bladder decided to give you a wake up call. You tiptoed to the bathroom, so you wouldn’t wake Bucky up, but failed. Stupid super hearing.

“Baby, where’re you going.” Bucky’s voice was deep, husky and laced with sleep. His face was stuffed in the pillow, so it came out muffled.

“Just to the bathroom, bub. I’ll be back.”

You came back a few moments later, to see Bucky stretched out on the bed, his eyes closed. You tiptoed over to him and straddled his waist, watching a smile spread over his face. His eyes fluttered open and focused onto your lips. He sat up, his hands on your waist and kissed you deeply. The two of you stayed like that for a few, bliss, moments before you pulled apart. Jumping off the bed, you grabbed Bucky’s hand and pulled him with you.

“What’s the rush, doll?” He laughed.

“I want to do so much, today!” 

Bucky raised an eyebrow at your eagerness.

“Why? What’s today?”

“Buckyyyy...” You whined, giggling.

“I’m serious, doll, what’s happening?”

His voice was serious but confused, so you turned to face him. Bucky looked genuinely confused as a million thoughts rushed to your head.

He’s just come back from a mission. He’s still tired. Yep, that must be it. He wouldn’t actually forgot. Would he?

“Doll?”

It’s just a birthday, right. It’s no big deal. They come and go every year. It’s fine. Don’t make a fuss and make him upset or feel bad. It’s okay.

You plastered on a fake, yet convincing smile before answering Bucky.

“Nothing, Buck, it’s just a pretty day and I wanna make the most of it.”

“Well, c’mon, then, doll, what’re you waiting for?”

******

You fell back onto the bed, exhausted. Bucky had left to do a workout with Sam and left you outside the bedroom door. The day was amazing but you were hurt that he forgot your birthday. It had never happened before. You just chalked it up to him being too busy with missions and work. Deciding to keep your mind off of it a bit, you lay down on the bed, still fully dressed, and closed your eyes.

******

“Hey, doll. Y/N. Wake up, baby.”

Bucky rubbed your shoulder as you awoke . The feeling of him envelopeed you in warmth until you remembered earlier.

“Oh. Hey, Buck.”

Picking up on the disappointment in your voice, he raised a brow.

“Okay.... what’s up?”

“Really?” You scoffed. Getting up, you walked to the bathroom and shut the door firmly behind you.

Bucky came up and knocked multiple times on the door.

“Y/N, doll, come out. Talk to me.”

“Fine. You want to talk? Let’s talk.” You strolled out of the bathroom door, walking past him. “What day is it?”

“Wednesday?”

“Really?!”

“What?!”

“It’s my birthday, Bucky! How did you forget that? I wanted to do so much with you. I wanted to enjoy today with you but you didn’t even remember!” You burst out.

He stood there, silent for a few moments before grabbing your hand. Your protests were cut off as he pulled you along. He led you to the common room.

In front of you, was the rest of the team. Tables were laid out wih food, drinks and decorations. Balloons were placed on either side as the team blew whistles as you came into view. You covered your mouth, tears welling up in your eyes. You turned to Bucky.

“Bucky. I-”

He cut you off, placing a sweet kiss to your lips. Everybody clapped and ‘awwed’ around you before turning on the music.

“What d’ya take me for, huh, a shitty boyfriend? Of course I would never forget.”

“I- thank you, Bucky. I love you.”

“I love you more. Now, c’mon. We’re gonna be here all night.”
