Summer Love

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x female reader

Summary: You and Bucky got invited to stay for a weekend with Sam and his family. When the two of you get some alone time on the boat, the summer heat brings out some confessions and butterflies.

Warnings: just very much fluff and a heart-eyed Bucky

Wordcount: 1k~ish

—————————————————-

„You know what is a great movie?“ Sam asked. „Jurassic Park.“

His nephews nodding heavily and their eyes were wide with excitement. Jumping up from the couch and started pretending to roar like dinosaurs.

Their mother Sarah cringed. „You can’t be serious. That’s not a movie a grown man should choose as his favorite.“

„I never said it was my favorite. I said it is a great movie“, Sam replied.

„And what is your favorite movie?“ You asked him.

Sam hesitated. A crooked smile crossed his face. „Jurassic World.“

Let the bickering begin. Sam and Sarah started to argue about movies and the two young boys continued to play fight as dinosaurs.

Just Bucky stayed quiet. He had a peaceful smirk on his lips, watching his found family laughing and talking about giant lizards. You and Bucky were dating for a couple of weeks now and it was the first time he introduced you to one of his best friends. Well, Bucky would never admit that him and Sam were close friends - only coworkers - but you knew him better. He truly cared about these people.

And he truly cared about you.

„We should get outside. The heat seems to cook your brain, or what is left of it.“ Sarah jokes.

„Very funny. But actually I wanted to suggest the same. The boat still needs some cleaning and I really have to get some things done in the city.“

„Well I don’t have time for the boat. Me and the boys have an appointment with their dentist.“ Sarah said frowning.

That’s when you quickly exchanged a look with Bucky. He shrugged in approval. „We could do the cleaning.“

Sam looked at his absolutely-not-bestfriend. „Nah, we can’t expect you to do that. You two are our guests and on vacation!“

„Ah it will be fun.“ Bucky replied while walking over to you. His hands landed on your hips, gently tugging you in a hug from behind. You sunk into his arms, leaning against his strong chest and let your body relax a bit.

Sam raised a eyebrow. „Yeah fun … remember to not make the boat dirtier as it is now. Or at least clean it up after you’re done.“

A pillow hit him on the back of his head, followed with a meaningful look from his sister with raised eyebrows.

You didn’t mind the joke. Because the only thing that was on your mind, was the way Bucky was holding you. His arms wrapped around your frame, his hands pressed against your stomach, while his thumb drawing little circles. The way he brushes a soft kiss on your temple.

The ease you felt made you look forward to spend the rest of the day with Bucky. Even if you have to clean a boat. And oh lord there was much to do. You two spend the entire day and evening with polishing the walls and scrub the floor.

The heat was merciless but had some good features that came with it. Because it didn’t took long until Bucky got rid of his longsleeve, leaving him with a simple black T-Shirt. It was hard not to look at him. Risking a glance every other minute, admiring his frame and his strength. Bucky noticed how you reacted and smirked every time he caught you looking at him for a bit too long.

When the sun was setting and the air cooled off a little, the docks slowly went silent. Just some fisherman getting the last things done, before returning to their homes. Gentle waves rocked the boat in a peaceful rhythm.

„Did anyone ever tell you that you look beautiful in the moonlight, love?“ Bucky sat down beside you on the wooden bench, that was directed at the ocean.

You chuckle. „I doubt that someone other than you would say something so old school and so romantic.“

His blue eyes crinkled at the outer corners, as a smitten smile parted his lips. „I’ve heard being old school is a good thing.“

„It is indeed a good thing.“ You raise your hand to cup his cheek. His stubbled chin felt rough under your fingertips and you felt him lean into your touch.

His eyes close for a second as he took a deep breath, like he wanted to suck up every ounce of you scent. Of the sizzling feeling on his skin under your touch. When he opened his eyes again, the blue shone like the sea itself. Making your heart skip a beat. He was just so beautiful.

„You have no idea what you do to me“, Bucky mumbled looking at your lips. „The only thing that I can think about all day and all night, is you.“

Your throat tightened. And that treacherous eyes of yours started to tear up a little.

„You are just too perfect to be true.“ Bucky cupped your face with his palms, his fingers gently touching the soft skin beneath your ear. „And I know you want to protest against that … I can see it in your eyes“, he chuckles softly.

He caught you red handed. You’re closing your mouth again, the protest of not being perfect in any way dying on your lips.

„You are perfect to me.“ Bucky adds. His eyes darting to your lips again and back up to keep your gaze. „I think I'm in love with you, doll.“

A soft gasp broke out of your throat, as Bucky pulled you into a kiss. His lips touching yours with softness and desperation, mixed with passion and … love. He admired you with his mouth and his hands.

You melted into his touch, desperate to getting closer. „I love you too, Bucky.“ You whispered between two kisses.

Suddenly you lost contact from the bench beneath you and find yourself sitting on his lap. Each leg on one side beside his. Bucky holding you with care, like something more than precious. His fingers stretched on your back, digging into your skin, just a little bit to show you how much he desires you. The way your hands get lost in his hair made him groan. You tugged it slightly, just to mess with him.

__________________________________

December 1941

This is it. The U.S Army training camp. And Bucky never felt more at home in his entire life.

As soon as he got the green light from his physical tests, he packed his bags and waited for the day he could join the other young men to train for combat.

„Hey Barnes! Looks like we are bunk buddys“, his pal from the testing station calls out. He was a bulky kid with a never-ending smile on his face. Sometimes Bucky asked himself if it will vanish during their serving time or not.

Bucky sat down on the bed next to his and smiled. „Great so I can hear you snoring the whole damn night.“

„Hey! I don’t snore at all. I’m a heavy breather.“ He defended himself, throwing a pillow at Buckys face. He caught it mid air and slap it on the head of his friend.

The two young soldiers were laughing like little boys, when the door got opened. All other soldiers stood up simultaneously and lined up perfectly. Bucky noticed it and joined the line of young men, still holding the pillow in one hand.

„Soldier. This is the first day of your training to become honorable men who serve our glorious country. I’m the General of this company and I’m responsible for all of you.“ The old man looked around with a stoic expression on his face.

Bucky should’ve paid attention to him, but he couldn’t focus on his words because he was distracted.

By a woman. He was distracted by you.

He couldn’t believe his eyes, when he watched you step around the general and walked down the line of soldiers. Calm, controlled steps brought you to pass the men. They were listening to the general. But Bucky had only eyes for you.

You’re wearing a uniform, just like them. Heavy boots on your feet and a piercing look on your face.

I never saw someone so intimidating and beautiful at the same time. Bucky thought to himself.

„May I introduce to you“, the Genreal pointing at you. „My daughter. And also the psychological support of this company section. She will judge your mental abilities to cope with stress and possible threats. If you want to serve in the Army, then her verdict will be crucial. Don’t mess up.“

You came to the end of the line, standing right in front of Bucky. He straightens his back and got up to his full size. He was about two heads taller than you. But it he’s got the feeling that won’t impress you much.

Your eyes traveled over his full length and stopped at his hands.

„What is that, Soldier?“ You asked. Bucky almost smiled because he liked the way your voice sounds.

Bucky gulped. „A pillow, ma’am.“

You stepped closer to him and he followed your movements with his eyes. With a challenging spark you looked up to him. „Already tired of me, hm?“

Before he could stutter a pathetic excuse, the General gave a sign to get ready for the first combat training. You turned around on your heel and left Bucky stuttering to himself.

„That was a hell of a first impression, Barnes.“ His friend beside him joked.

Bucky smacked him with his pillow and flipped him off afterwards. But a sudden smile forced itself onto his lips. That could be interesting.

It was really hard for Bucky to find a moment to talk to you alone. Weeks had passed and he didn’t get any chance to interact with you at all. Every time he entered the dining hall, you already had left. When he searched for your face in the crowd of dirty men, you were busy taking notes or talking to the Generals of the different companies.

He almost gave up. But then he decided to go for a run late at night. Bucky had trouble to fall asleep, manly because of all the loudly snoring men in his bunker. The night was peaceful and quiet. The air warm and the sky clouded. Rain was about to come soon.

He ran around the corner and saw someone sitting on the roof of a weapon shelter. The stone bunker was embedded into a small hill, with grass on the top. Two legs were dangling over the entrance.

Bucky couldn’t hold back a smile when he realized it was you. Sitting up there, facing the sky. He jog over to the bunker.

„Do you like to sit on guns at night?“ He asked.

You dropped your gaze down to him. „Does this pickup line usually work for you?“

Bucky felt his cheeks heat up. He repeated his words again in his head and cringed immediately.

„It sounded better in my head.“

You chuckled. It activated butterflies in his stomach. And Bucky knew he wanted to hear it again.

„Why are you awake, Soldier?“

„You can call me Bucky“, he said while climbing up the hill and sat down beside you. With an honorable distance of course. The last thing he wanted was to scare you off.

„Okay. Why are you awake, Soldier Bucky?“ You teased him.

He shakes his head with a defeated smile. „Life threatening earthquakes, caused by the snoring of about sixty men. Makes it hard to fall asleep.“

A laugh escaped your lips. You tried to cover up your mouth with both hands, but the bright sound of your laughter was already etched deep in Bucky’s soul.

„Sorry to hear that. But you don’t need a beauty sleep anyway.“ The second the words were spoken, your eyes widened in shock. Bucky assumed these were meant to stay silent thoughts, that unwillingly escaped your tongue.

A smitten smile pulled on his lips. „So you think I’m pretty?“

You didn’t answer. Instead you jumped up and turned to leave without a word. Bucky failed to hold you back.

Damn she’s fast. He thought, punching himself mentally for screwing up. Bucky could only watch you leave him up on the hill, wondering how someone so confident (and still intimidating) can be so easily flustered by a joke.

Bucky smiled, knowing that from this moment, he wouldn’t give up on you. He will get another chance, even if he has to work for it.

The following days, you were nowhere to be found. Not even in the office of the General. Which made Buckys surprise even bigger, when you joined the company for combat training.

You walked around the paired up soldiers, watching their skills closely. Successfully avoiding getting to close to him. Bucky wouldn’t let his chance slide, so he came up with an idea.

„You have to punch me.“

His friend frowned confused. „I’m trying.“

„No I mean really punch me. As hard as you can. Make it hurt.“ Bucky followed you out of the corner of his eye.

„Are you drunk? Why do you want me to hurt you?“ He asked.

Bucky groaned impatient. „I want her to get over here so I can talk to her.“

He followed when Bucky nodded in your direction. „You really think that will work? She is way out of your league.“

„Yeah no shit! But I still have to try.“

„Fiiine.“ His friend sighted.

And he punched Bucky right in the face. Bucky helped a bit, by tripping and falling to the ground.

„Uh- uhm we need some help over here!“ His pal called out.

„What are you doing?“, Bucky hissed at him.

„I though you wanted her to come over..?“ He replied through his teeth so only Bucky could hear him.

„Yeah but-…“

„What’s wrong?“ You asked as you reached them.

Bucky reacted fast. „Oh uhm - I think he needs to go to the nurse and let them treat his hand. He has very sensitive bones.“

His friend almost contradicted, but instead grabbed his wrist with a painful expression. „Oh yeah. His face hurt my hand really bad.“

You rolled your eyes and pinched the bridge of your nose with your index finger and thumb. „Fine. Go, Soldier.“

Before you could turn back around again, Bucky stood up blocking your way. „I still need another combat partner.“

„And let me guess; you want me to be that?“ You assumed, already straightened your shoulders.

„I will be careful, I promise.“ Bucky said with a crooked smile. He lowered his voice. „Because I think you’re pretty too and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.“

He wanted it so sound playful but the last part slipped out a bit more serious than he had in mind. Because it was the truth. He wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. Never.

You blinked in surprise, as if you understood the true meaning behind his teasing words. But you quickly recover and put on a feisty face. With a combination of quick movements, you were able to surprise him and land a high kick on his shoulder. Not hard but clearly making a point.

„You talk to much“, you huffed, landing another hit.

It was like a dance between two strangers that’ve become more and more comfortable with each other. Bucky was surprised about the fighting skills you pulled on him. He never saw you train with the other soldiers, so he didn’t knew what you were capable of. But he always learned quickly. He managed to get a hold on you and captured your wrists in his hands.

„I still don’t know your name“, he said with a low voice.

You blushed. It could be the heat of movement, but Bucky could’ve sweared he saw your cheeks get a little darker.

You got up on your tiptoes, lean closer to him. Bucky could feel your breath on his neck. „Why? Do you want me to make you scream my name?“

Buckys body reacted and froze immediately. His grip weakened around your wrists and he watched you with big, round puppy eyes. You gave him a evil wink … and hooked your leg behind his to send him to the ground with one hard push. He dropped like a wet bag of clothes, unable to defend himself after what you just said. You may be weaker than him, but way smarter.

„It was nice to talk to you, Soldier Bucky.“

He watched you leave, still speechless. This woman will be the death of me.

Later that day he couldn’t resist to sneak out again. The night was quiet and he managed to search for your quarters. Bucky didn’t knew what he expected you to say, when he knocked on your door. Would you be mad? Insult him and telling the General about his inappropriate behavior towards his daughter?

He for sure didn’t expect for you to just tilt your head and smile.

„You make me question everything, you know that? Is your name Mixed Signals by any chance? Because I’m getting the …“

„Bucky“, you mumbled grabbing his collar. „You talk to much.“

You pulled him down and his lips crashed into yours. At first he hesitated in surprise. Never could’ve he guessed your next move and certainly not this one. But then he leaned into the kiss. He rested his rough hands on your waist, pulling you closer.

He pulled away by a few inches. „You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this.“

You smiled. „Stop waiting then. And do something.“

Bucky didn’t have to be told twice. He grabbed your thighs and pulled you up, so you could wrap your legs around his waist. With a careless nudge, he pushed the door closed behind you, while still claiming your lips.

When your back hit the mattress, a little squeak escaped your throat, followed by giggles. Bucky pulled away. His blue eyes were sparkling as he looked down at you, softly brushing his fingers over your cheek.

„Your laughter is my favorite sound.“

You melted beneath his strong, defined body. „Let me show you another sound for that list.“
