Gala
The Gala was only nights away. Nat, your new found best friend already had her dress and date. After a long night of tossing and turning over the subject you decided to go talk to her about it. Before Bucky woke up Nat and you decided to go dress shopping. Nat being the ass she is questions everything about the relationship and a lot of personal questions about Bucky and how things are going between the two of you. As you tried on dresses Nat kept nagging at you to spill about the relationship. Neither you or Bucky liked to talk about your relationship much. She wanted to know everything from how often you guys share kisses, what is your favorite part about him, and what you guys do when you “sleep together.”
You finally tried on a strapless, dark red dress that goes down to your ankles. It was beaded with white around the stomach. “Nat I think this is the one for the gala.”
“I think Bucky will absolutely love to see you in this.” Nat said with a grin.
You thought about dropping hints about the engagement or to joke about being pregnant. Its was a hard call but you went with the engagement. You were going to save that for a better time though. Nat insisted she buy your dress and hide it so Bucky couldn’t stumble upon it.
It was the night of the gala. Tony insisted that when Bucky and Steve were finished that they help him downstairs with the limos. After borrowing a pair of Nat’s heels and her doing your makeup and hair she helps you into your dress and you help her into hers. “Wheres Clint at?”
“He's helping down stairs” she replied smiling and looking in the mirror. After stopping by your room to grab a purse Nat was already downstairs. You slowly and carefully walked down stairs to find Bucky in a black suit with his hair slicked back. His smile brightened when he saw you walk down the stairs and couldn’t help but stare.
There you were about to walk into one of Tony's galas with your soon to be husband that no one even knew were together. Bucky could tell how nervous you were and wrapped his arm around your waist and kissed your cheek. “It's all right doll if you don't like it we can sneak out or something alright?” You nodded and got ready to get out. When you did the cameras went crazy as Bucky paraded you around like an amazing award only he had.
After being bombarded with questions about Bucky and you. Bucky had seen you had enough and decided to take action. He swiftly dismissed them and escorted you to a balcony for fresh air and some alone time. “Do we really have to stay here babe? This dress is tighter than I remember it being and I’m starting to get light headed.”
He replied, “Of course not sweetie let's go back home and get you in one of my sweatshirts and boxers, you always love that don’t you?” he smiled
“Sounds straight out of dream.” you smiled back kissed him.
He picked you up and told Steve what was happening and then left. When you arrived home he takes you out of the limo and carries you up the room. He carefully unzipped your dress and helped you out of it. He admired the look of your body as your cheeks flared up. He began to take his jacket, tie and shirt off as you laid down not caring you only had a single undergarment on. He laid down with you and pulled you close kissing you. You laid your head on his chest and quickly fell asleep. He kissed the top of your head and carefully puts a shirt on you and removes his pants and returns to the bed and replaces your head falling asleep with his arms around you.
