god cap this is so soft i cant not

Steve groans as he settles down into a chair in his and Bucky’s apartment. Having been gone for the past three days on a mission with Clint and Natasha, all Steve wanted was to cuddle up with Bucky and their golden retriever and black lab babies.

“They’re babies, Stevie, not dogs.” God he could hear the smile in Bucky’s voice even if he wasn’t with him right then and there.

However, he couldn’t do that considering Bucky wasn’t home. He hadn’t wanted to stay in their apartment alone while Steve was gone, despite having their babies to take care of, so he’d gone and stayed the past few days with Sam at his place.

From the messages he was receiving from the both of them, it’d been a long three days and they were fighting over what to name the two dogs, no, babies, considering they hadn’t dones so yet. All the while Sam kept insisting he thought they were better company than Bucky. More behaved at the very least.

Checking over the messages again, a small pout forming on his face considering his best guy, and his best friend were at least not alone, and he was, he sighed softly to himself before resigning himself to the fact he would just have to wait until tomorrow to see either of them.

Grunting as he rose out of the chair, he headed off down the hall to his bedroom, changing out of his uniform and into pajama pants and a white t-shirt, he settles down onto the bed. An empty bed at that it seemed, considering Bucky took up more than his half and liked to snuggle close to Steve at night.

Pout deepening as he stared at the ceiling, reaching over and grabbing at the empty half of the bed, he closed his eyes and attempted to let sleep take him. Even if it did take forever for him to fall into a deep sleep.

Which didn’t last long considering the next thing he knew, he was awoken to the sound of claws clattering against hardwood before bounding down the hall at the sound of a whistle.

Groaning and turning his face into the pillows, Steve stiffens as the bed dips with the added weight of two dogs, and even further as his boyfriend sits on the edge next to him. Hearing his soft laugh as what he assumes is one of the dogs kissing him, the next thing Steve feels is those tongues lapping at the back of his head and arms as Bucky nods in his direction.

Cursing under his breath and pushing himself out of the pillows, he shoots a glare of at Bucky as he shoves the dogs away from his face. Earning a laugh for his efforts, he hardens his glare as Bucky offers him a small smile.

“Hey, babe. How’d you sleep?”

Rolling his eyes and climbing off the bed, Steve starts to head for the door as he attempts to head to their guest room and lock the door to get some more sleep.

Don’t get him wrong he’s aware that he wanted nothing more than to have Bucky by his side last night, but now that he was home, and the fact that he looked so well rested, did nothing but make Steve jealous and wish he was still at Sam’s.

Just reaching the door to their room, Steve stops as Bucky’s on his feet and slipping his arms around his waist, pulling him back and holding him close. Feeling as Bucky nuzzles the back of his neck, a shiver running down his spine, he grumbles under his breath, warning Bucky to let him go.

Humming as he pretends to think that threat over, Bucky presses a kiss to his neck as he answers, “I’ve gotta go with no on that one, Stevie.”

Turning to glare at him, Steve only gets a laugh in return, causing him to jab Bucky lightly in the ribs for it.

Huffing at the slight discomfort, Bucky only takes a moment before pulling Steve closer and kissing up the side of his face and resting his head on Steve’s shoulder. “M’sorry, I am. But if you could just see how adorable you look right now. All disheveled and grumpy. It’s cute.” Bucky coos as he presses another kiss to Steve’s hair.

Making a sound of disagreement in the back of his throat, the tension his shoulders does begin to melt away as Bucky keeps planting kisses along his face, neck, and collarbone. Gentle and apologetic.

“Come on, let’s get you back to bed.” Bucky murmurs gently as he lifts Steve off his feet and carries him back to the bed. Depositing him onto his side of the bed, Steve’s immediately greeted with the two over excited dogs. Already frowning and attempting to softly push them away, Bucky immediately joins him on the bed and puts himself between the three of them.

“They’re just excited to see you, babe. They missed you.” Bucky once again laughs as he pulls Steve close as he wraps his arms around him. Glancing up at Bucky, Steve let out a sigh as he shook his head and pinches the bridge of his nose as he closes his eyes.

“Not as much as I missed you though,” Bucky whispers, barely audible, just between the two of them.

Breath hitching at that, Steve slowly opens his eyes and peers up at Bucky, a shy grin tucked away as he bites on his bottom lip to keep it from growing. Blue eyes looking over every inch of his face, Steve huffs out a chuckle as he shakes his head and before he relaxes against his boyfriend.

“Well, I missed you too. How could I not? You’re my best guy.” Steve mutters tiredly back, leaning up to press a kiss to Bucky’s jaw, smile on his lips.

God, how could he still be upset when the love of his life had to go and make him a full on sap?

A blinding grin settling upon Bucky’s face, he gently guides Steve to lay against his chest, hand already running through his sleep mussed hair. “Go ahead and get your sleep, Stevie. We’ll still be here when you’re ready to wake up.” Bucky promises softly as he runs his other hand protectively up and down Steve’s side.

Humming as his eyes are already closed, Steve shifts against Bucky until he’s comfortable, both arms and legs wrapped around him, grumpiness already having faded away the moment Bucky was there when he opened his eyes.

He truly was a sap when it came to one James Buchanan Barnes.

Exhaling contently, Steve opens his eyes once more and watches as the golden retriever and black lab make themselves comfortable on top of them as well, leaning forward to provide kisses of apologies of their own.

Burying his face to hide in Bucky’s shirt, Steve hums as he goes to ask, “What’d you end up naming them?”

Feeling Bucky’s chest thrum with his soft laugh, Steve felt a small smile pull up on his face as he listened. “Well, Sam suggested ‘Steve in dog form’, and ‘The One Better Behaved Than Barnes’,” Bucky says before pulling Steve impossibly closer.

Pressing a soft kiss to his hair, Bucky rests his cheek on top of his golden hair as he gazes at the two dogs in cuddling on top of them. “But, I was thinking we could name the lab Cap, and the goldie, considering he’s actually a she, Sarah.” Voice trailing away, almost uncertainty in his voice as he feels Steve stop breathing at his side, he glances down to find Steve already gazing up at him with adoration in his eyes.

It was almost as if Bucky had rounded up all the stars in the sky and offered them to Steve on a silver platter the way he was gazing at him.

“Is that okay? I mean, we don’t have to, I didn’t engrave the collars yet,” Bucky quickly reassures, a kind smile on his face.

However, Steve just shakes his head and buries it once more against Bucky’s chest, taking in a deep breath, taking in the scent of him and their dogs. Their family. Before answering, a bit choked up, “No, those names are perfect. Thank you, Buck.”

Hand resuming to run through golden strands, Bucky nods before pressing a final kiss to Steve’s head, rest his forehead atop of his. “Anything for you, doll.”

Settling against his best guy, Steve exhales heavily as he could never feel any more happier or at peace. Who was he to think he could ever stay mad, or grumpy, at the one man who would always do whatever necessary to put a smile on his face.

Sleep pulling him back under, a tiny grin quirked up at the edge of his lips, Steve Rogers was home. Not in their apartment, but in Bucky’s arms, with their babies: Cap and Sarah in their forever home as well.
