To the end of the line
“Mm, I don’t want to go”
“Doll, the party is for you” Bucky laughs as I nestle closer to him, burying my face in his neck as I shake my head.
“I don’t wanna though” I murmur, moving my body as close to Bucky as I physically could, craving skin on skin contact that I only wanted with Bucky.
“Well I hate to burst your bubble” Bucky pauses as he guides my body on top of him so I’m straddling his waist. “But Natasha and Wanda are coming by at 4 to dress you up.”
“What?” I sit up on top of him, my hands on his bare chest as I stare down at him, a mock frown on my face.
“It wasn’t my idea! Nat threatened to smack me if I said no” Bucky pouts, his blue puppy eyes staring up at me. I sigh and I slide my hands down to his shoulders, and he sighs into my mouth when I lean down and press my lips to his.
“No one wants to get smacked by Natasha” I chuckle, and he smiles, his metal hand slides up my thigh. I grin, but my eyes flick to my phone.
“Bucky! It’s 3:57!” I squeal as he flips me over onto my back and kisses my neck, his chuckles tickling my neck. I push weakly at his chest, protesting quietly as he makes his way up my neck and gently kisses me gently on the lips. Then he pulls up, a grin on his face.
“They’re here” he whispers, and a minute later there’s knocking at the door, which quickly opens to reveal Natasha and Wanda who both start squealing when they see us in bed, Bucky in-between my thighs.
“You guys are so cute!” Wanda squeals, hopping around on her feet.
“Guys! Come on!” I shout, my hand patting Bucky’s shoulder as he slides out of bed. Nat and Wanda instantly covered their eyes, because I quickly realised that Bucky was only in his boxer briefs.
“Bucky! Get some damn clothes on! I don’t want people to ogle my fit boyfriend” I jump out of bed and smack his toned ass, making him chuckle as he gestures to my body, where I quickly realised that I was only dressed in a tight pair of grey lingerie that matches Bucky’s metal arm.
“Oh God”
“Ugh, come on lovebirds. Bucky, scram, before I throw you out” Nat yells as she walks into the room with a hand over her eyes. Wanda follows with a large dress bag slung over her shoulder with multiple bags floating in behind her.
“Oh God” I repeat again as I slide on one of Bucky’s shirts which is huge on me, the ends covering my ass and top of my thighs. I look over to Bucky who leans over me to grab one his shirts, his lips near my ear.
“You look hot in my stuff” Bucky pulls back with a grin on his face. “Bye now!”
And with that, he walks out of the door. When the door clicks shut, Natasha and Wanda rush to me, bouncing on their toes in excitement.
“You guys are so cute together!” Wanda gushes.
“We are going to make you so pretty that Bucky’s mouth hits the floor” Natasha says confidently. I take one look at their face and giggle, standing up straighter.
“Alright. Let’s get started”
………………………
“Are you ready?” Wanda’s accented voice whispers in my ear, and as I nod she removes her hand and I look at myself in the mirror, my mouth falling open.
I was wearing a knee-length black dress which was fitted around the waist and breasts, and flared out at the bottom. There were threads of gold and red around the hem that glittered every time I moved. When my gaze lifted from my dress, I focused on my face and hair. Smiling, I can see that Natasha has applied some dark red lipstick and Wanda had put a light dust of silver eyeshadow on my eyelids.
“Wow guys” I spin around on my toes, watching how my hair is straight and untangled, done in an elaborate braid that wrapped around the back of my head and curled over my shoulder.
“You like it?” Wanda ask nervously as she puts on her own dress. I nod and she grins at me, her hands smoothing down her scarlet coloured gown that had a shimmery red bodice.
“Bucky’s eyes are gonna fall out his head” Natasha snickered, pulling up the zipper that ran up the side of her skin tight black dress, that hugged her curved figure and accentuated her red hair.
“You guys look beautiful too you know” I point out as I step into a pair of heels.
“Yeah, but we don’t have anyone to show off too” Natasha tries to wave off my compliment but I wouldn’t have it.
“Are you kidding? Don’t think I haven’t noticed you and Brucie doing your awkward eye fuck thing. And you Wan, you have a certain red skinned android that stares at you, ALL the time”
Wanda and Natasha glance at each other, then blush. I yell a cry of victory as I turn around and link my arms with their’s.
“Let’s make our boyfriends, or in your cases, unofficial boyfriend, mouths drool from our hotness!”
Nat and Wanda chuckle, and then we stride out of my room, heading towards the party.
……………………..
I really wanted to just sneak into the ballroom and hiding in the corner until Bucky found me, but it seemed that Tony had bribed Natasha and Wanda to basically kidnap me. So instead of sneaking in, I get frog marched through the double doors, and everyone’s eyes are on me.
……………………………
My eyes were roving around the room, a glass of orange juice held in my metal hand as I looked for my beautiful girl.
“Buck?” Steve’s voice breaks me out of my reverie, and I turn to face him, a small smile appearing on my lips as I take in his tight blue suit and red tie. The perfect Captain America outfit.
“Looking good Stevie” Steve smirks as he gestures to me.
“You aren’t looking too bad yourself”
I grin. I was wearing a fitted charcoal grey suit with a white dress shirt and a red tie completed the look. I had even brushed my hair and tucked it behind my ears, making me lot presentable. And while I was lost in this, Steve gasped quietly and elbowed me, turning my head around so I saw Y/N.
She looked gorgeous, in her fitted black dress that just came to her knees, and the edges glittered red and gold in the light. She was wearing a pair of heels that she walked confidently in and her hair curled around the back of her head and down her neck and I desperately wanted to tug it, hear her moan under me.
“Go on Frosty, you don’t want another guy to snatch her” Tony reminds me as he walks past me, a smirk on his face as he watches my face contort with possessiveness. My eyes then flick back to Y/N, who looks so uncomfortable in the spotlight that it’s almost cute, her cheeks flushing wonderfully and her eyes sparkled in the light.
Growling at the thought of someone else flirting with Y/N, I walked towards her through the crowds, watching her intently as Wanda and Natasha are still flanking her. As I come closer from behind her, Wanda turns around and catches sight of me, a smile tugging at her lips. She then pokes Natasha, who then elbows Y/N. She turns around slowly, and when her eyes meet mine a grin tugs at her lips. Her eyes look up and down my body, her cheeks flushing even more.
“Hey Bucky” She says almost shyly, and a squeak of surprise falls out of her mouth when I sweep forward and pick her up, my arms wrapped around her lower thighs and my face is level with her breasts. As I swing her around, her hands clamp onto my shoulders as she laughs, stray hairs being blown back. After a couple of seconds, I let her down and her eyes sparkle up at me, her cheeks flushed from adrenaline.
“Bucky!” She admonishes as Natasha and Wanda snicker and all the other Avengers watch with grins or smirks on their faces.
“You needed a little pick-me-up” Y/n snickers at my pun, and she presses a kiss to my lips.
“Bucky Barnes, pun master” She teases, and I shrug
“What can I say? You changed me for the best” I grin, and press another kiss to her lips. When she pulls back from me, she looks into my eyes, but then her eyes flick to something behind me.
“Oh my God, they placed the ice statues in here” she gasps, and I smirk. “How?”
“Well the rest of the Avengers loved them, and since Tony found out that they didn’t melt, he set them up on pedestals in here. Everyone loves them”
Y/N pulls me gently towards the far corner of the room where a familiar ice statue stands.
“Now, why is the most beautiful statue here in the corner?” Y/N teases, and I feel myself blush.
“I asked for it to be here. I may different from when I first met you but I’m still a bit of recluse, especially when it comes to big public displays like that” I wave a hand at the statue with a fond smile on my face.
“Well, what about this big, public display” Y/N teases me, tugging at my suit.
“Well, I have to be pretty for you some time” I tease, and Y/N snorts.
“Believe me Soldier, you are pretty, all the time” Y/N leans forward and is just about to kiss me when a large hand hesitantly taps at her shoulder.
………………………
I am just about to kiss Bucky when a large, yet hesitant hand taps my shoulder. I turn around to see an ashamed looking Thor standing there in a suit.
“Lady Y/N, I am truly sorry to interrupt you, but I desperately needed to apologise”
“Thor, buddy, what do you need to apologise for?” I ask, looking up into his eyes which are filled with sadness.
“I needed to apologise for my brother, how he caused your powers to flare up like they did. And, uh –“ he hesitates and his eyes flick down to the floor, then back up to me. Then he steps aside, to reveal Loki in a dark green suit, his eyes looking at me sadly.
My nose flares as I step directly in front of Bucky, reaching one hand behind me which Bucky grabs, with his metal hand no less.
“Loki” I state, and he goes to take a step forward, but Thor’s arm blocks him. Loki shoots him a look but steps back again.
“Y/N, I am truly sorry about what I did. I was just so unused to someone truly being kind to me that I didn’t know how to react. And when I saw what you had with Barnes, I wanted to have you. I wanted to keep someone that was kind to me close to me. I didn’t want to lose you to Bucky. So I said the things I said. And I’m sorry” Loki looks away, his cheek twitching as his teeth ground together, waiting for my words.
“Loki, I told you before. I’m willing to forgive you. But you need to show me that you are worth forgiving. Do you understand?” I step closer to him, and his eyes flick up to mine.
“I understand, Lady Y/N” He repeats, his voice tired as Thor guides him away, sending an apologetic look over his shoulder. I sigh, leaning my head back against Bucky when he wraps his arms around my waist.
“How can you forgive him?” Bucky was truly just curious as he asked, and I chuckled.
“Because I truly think that he can be good. Pushing him away after giving him kindness isn’t going to make him better” I say, and his arms tightening around me.
“If he tries to take you from me again, I will kill him” he growls in my ear, and I smile, turning around in his arms.
“Don’t worry, I will kill him too if he does that too” I give him a peck on the lips, and his eyes light up with an idea.
“Kitten, I think you need another pick-me-up” Bucky teases as he pulls me towards the dance area in the middle of the room.
“Oh, wow there, Buck. Take a sec. I can’t dance” I shake my head vigorously.
“Nonsense Doll. Dancing is the easiest thing in the world when you have me as a teacher” Bucky says calmly as he holds my hands and pulls me to the edge of the dance floor. He then places my hands around his neck, and his hands settle on my waist, his grip firm, yet soft.
“Now, step on my feet”
“What? No, I don’t want to ruin your fancy shoes” My eyes flick down then back up to his smile.
“Doll, I can always get Tony to get me a new pair, especially after he hears that I helped teach his kid how to dance. You’re officially his kid now. Y/N Stark” Bucky starts to sway, his hands guiding my hips to do the same. I chuckle at his words, my eyes focusing on his chest as I smile.
“And you want to know something funny? For some reason, the adoption office they went to for the papers insisted that there be two ‘parents’ to take care of the kid, so now Steve and Tony are officially your parents” He smirked, and I giggled, thinking about Tony and Steve being parents.
While I was distracted with my own thoughts, Bucky had started stepping back and forth, and in my distracted state I followed along. When I finally snapped back to reality, we were stepping back and forth in what I presume was the box step.
“See kitten? Easy as pie with me” Bucky grins at my shocked face, and he lifts me into the air and twirls me around, making me laugh with giddiness, then he puts me down again.
“Buck, that’s always amazing every time you do it” I say breathlessly as he pulls me closer to him.
“Then I will always do it. To lift your spirits up” Bucky snickers again at his pun. Then he grabs my right hand with his metal hand, and he places my left hand on his shoulder while his flesh right hand settled on my waist.
“Now just follow me” Bucky pulls me closer to him, and I rest my head against shoulder.
“I will follow you anywhere, James Buchanan Barnes” I whisper into his chest, and I know that he heard me when we stop dancing and his arms wrap around me, pulling me closer to him.
“Doll, I will love you for as long as you love me, and even longer” Bucky pulls back slightly so he can look me in the eyes.
“To the end of the line?”
I look into his eyes, and I realise how much those six words mean to him. He and Steve had said those words to each other and they had stuck together for all this time, even when Steve was frozen and Bucky was a killer assassin. If I didn’t say these words back, I knew what it would mean to him.
I smile gently at him, and I use my power to create a beautiful, deep red rose in the palm of my hand, which I then slip into his lapel. He smiles to himself, looking back up to me with glistening eyes.
“To the end of the line”
