Protip when working with superglue: if you get any of that shit on your skin get it under running water immediately. Not that it washes it off but it forces the glue to react and set so it becomes flaky and harmless. Then hopefully you don't have any parts stuck together and you wait for it to flake off on its own.

“What are you going to do today, babydoll?” Bucky asked as his large hand settled on her ankle giving it a gentle squeeze. Her legs were resting over his lap as they ate their breakfast at the kitchen island because simply sitting next to each other wasn’t enough for either of them anymore They had to be touching now. All the time. 
They even sought each other out in their sleep.
From the moment they woke up this morning, Bucky hands had barely left her and Y/n found any excuse she could to touch him. Even when he was frying bacon this morning, she had wiggled her way between him and the stove claiming she was feeling a little cold. Bucky wanted to tease her and bring up all the blankets she had been curled up in when she had decided she was too cold to be away from him, but he’d rather have her leaning against his chest than wrapped up in some stupid blanket any day.
Today, in particular, the need to keep her close was burning a hole in his chest. It was his first shift back since her heat and Bucky was anything but thrilled to be away from Y/n all damn day. He would feel better about being apart once Brock was behind bars and far away from the both of them for good, or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself.
It was probably never going to change truthfully. Bucky will never like being away from her and they both know that. It took them far too long to find each other and Bucky didn’t want to waste a moment of what time they have left apart. 
Y/n wasn’t too fond of the idea either. 
“Mmm…” Y/n murmured thoughtfully and shrugged, taking a sip of her coffee before setting it down next to her half-eaten plate of bacon and eggs.
“Probably take the subway for a few hours just to wander around the city. Maybe check out the East Village all on my own. Closer to dinner time. I like the way it looks in the dark and all the lights everywhere.” 
Bucky dropped his toast onto his plate and turned to look at her, having every intention of asking what the hell she was thinking but he caught her grin and the way her eyes were sparkling, and he couldn’t help but laugh. This was payback for every time he laughed at Steve for having a sarcastic mate and called Tony a handful. 
This was absolutely his payback and not an ounce of him minded. 
“The mouth on you. I swear.” Bucky leaned over the few inches that separated them and gave her a soft albeit buttery kiss. 
“What are you really doing today smartass?” Y/n licked the butter from her lips and gently wiped away the bit that was smeared in his scruff with her thumb. 
“Just gonna hang out around here. I told Tony to come by later and maybe run me up to the hospital if he has time. I figured you would be okay with that?” 
Bucky nodded dumbly as he watched her suck the butter from her thumb.
Shit, she’s perfect. 
“I guess, I’ll probably try and clean up this mess too.”
Bucky grinned at the mention of the mess they created and turned his attention to the chaos surrounding them, taking note of several pairs of her panties thrown around, his sweats and jeans.  It’s true, the place was a disaster but if she wanted his opinion, the apartment had never looked better.
“I kind of like the way it looks.” 
Bucky slid off the stool ducking his head down and placing a kiss right over the tiny red star under her ear and rumbled against her skin, “Every place I look there’s something lacey, I pulled off you. It’s a nice reminder of everywhere I had you.”
She wiggled her seat pressing her thighs together. 
“Buck…” She whined, placing a hand on his chest and pushing him back so she could see the stupid cocky grin she knew he was wearing, and there it was staring back at her. 
“You keep talking like that and you won’t be able to go in today.”
“I don’t think that’s how it works, baby. ” He told her, a hint of a chuckle following his words. “I kind of have to go in today. Ya know, to serve and protect.”
“Are you sure you have to go? Are you sure you can’t just stay home, in bed with me?” She asked with a pout and Bucky’s knees gave out a bit nearly taking his willpower with them.
“Don’t do that babydoll,” Bucky begged and pleaded as wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to the edge of her stool to keep her snug against him. 
“I’ll quit my job and we will have to move in with Steve and Tony. Then I’ll be forced to see Steve’s dumb lovesick face every minute of the day. No one wants to see that more than they have to.”
“I think it’s sweet,” Y/n whispered breathlessly, wiggling against the chest. “If you ask Tony, it’s the same way you look at me.”
Bucky could feel how hot his face was. He just knew his face was bright fuckin’ red and his ears were on fire, actual fire he was sure of it. He cleared his throat and shook his head, mumbling. “Nosy Omega. Always causing trouble.”
Y/n laughed and kissed his cheek, a quiet assurance that it was okay because she all ready knew that was how he looked at it and she liked it. She liked the way he held her, his soft kisses and the gentle affection in his eyes -- she liked him. 
“Don’t worry. I like when you look at me like that.” She breathed out, looking up at him through her lashes.
Fuck. He was in trouble. 
Bucky’s fingers grip around the stone that was laying against her chest, his stone, and he gently tugged her forward, barely letting his lips brush against hers.
“Babydoll… You’re playing with fire.” He nodded towards her plate, followed by a teasing order -- one that had no real force or bite to it, but one he would like her to follow. 
“Eat your breakfast and behave while I’m gone, hm?”
“Mmm,” She pondered for a moment as if she was really considering her options but not too soon after she pressed her lips to his in concession. 
“Fine. I’ll behave till you get home.”  
“Good,’ Bucky preened,  grinning as he let her necklace drop back against her chest. 
“I’ll be back around eight tonight. I’ll call you if something happens and you better keep that phone on you, hm? I was serious about gluing it to your hand, doll.” Bucky peppered her face with kisses until his ears caught the sound of that sweet giggle then and only then, did he pull back.
“Be cautious, please. Don’t answer the door without looking first. No one should be coming by. Tony will call you if he’s coming right? Good. So, you know it’s him at the door and I’ll text you on my way so you know it’s me and you don’t have to worry – “  
“Bucky.”
“– about that. Oh, and if you order lunch tell them to leave it at the security. I gave them very specific instructions when it comes to you and your safety- “
“Buck!”
His mouth snapped shut and he gave her an apologetic shrug. He wanted to say sorry, but he wasn’t even remotely sorry. He’s never going to apologize for loving her and being a bit overprotective was part of that. Besides, the grin on her face said she didn’t appear to mind all that much.
“I know all this. I watched you threaten the security guard. I told you unless Tony comes by later, I won’t be going anywhere. I’m going to clean up a bit and maybe you could pick up something for dinner?”
“Of course. Anything you want, Y/n. Text me the place, and I’ll get it on my way home.”
“You’re spoiling me. You better be careful.”
“Sweetheart, you better just get used to it. I plan on spoiling you for as long as you let me.”  Bucky kissed her one last time and glanced at the clock over the stove. He had to force himself to let go of her and walk out the front door or he was going to be late and Steve was going to have his ass.
“I gotta run baby but I’ll see you tonight. Lock this door behind me. I love you.” She opened her mouth to respond but the words got caught in her throat. He threw her a wink and closed the door behind him.
Bucky couldn’t wipe the smile off his face and he took the stairs two at a time. She nearly said it back and he couldn’t fuckin’ breathe! Everything about this morning was perfect and completely, utterly normal. Normal for them anyway. He was sure it wasn’t like that for most bonded couples, but compared to where they were a month ago? This was a huge step.
Outside of their little world and outside his apartment, everything was still the same as much as he hated it. Legally if something happened to him while he was on duty, she wouldn’t even be allowed to see him. He had a feeling he needed to talk to Steve and make sure she would be taken care of.
There was no way of knowing if she would ever want to bond and with his job, anything could happen.
 ----------
The station was quiet all day, and it was times like these that Tony took full advantage of working with his mate. He had the door closed, blinds drawn, and he was cuddled in his Alpha’s lap. Steve was running his large hand up and down his side, frowning as he clicked around on the computer. Something was off and Steve could feel it. It wasn’t often he got these feelings about a case, but when he did, he was always right.
Always.
Tony nuzzled the hint of his bonding mark peeking out of Steve’s collar and wrinkled his nose at the scent. 
“What is it? You reek of frustration and worry.” Steve sighed and leaned back in his chair, taking the Omega in his lap with him completely abandoning whatever it was he was looking at. 
“I don’t get it. He’s dropped off the radar. No credit card activity. No activity on any of his bank accounts. He hasn’t been by his place. No one has seen or heard from him. He’s planning something, Tony. I can feel it.”
“Like what?” Tony pushed, trying to work out whatever fear Steve was manufacturing through anxiety. 
“What could he do to her now? She’s practically bonded to Bucky. He rarely lets her out of his sights and even when she’s not with him she won’t leave the apartment. I had a little chat with her when I dropped in on them. We just have to get her through the next month and then the piece of shit is going to jail.”
The Alpha looked down in amusement. He didn’t understand how someone who was curled up into a little ball, nuzzling his mates’ neck could sound so lethal. It was scary and quite frankly adorable, but he wasn’t going to make the mistake of bringing that to Tony’s attention. Last time he did, he slept on the tiny couch in his studio for over a week. It’s way too small of a couch to repeat that mistake and Tony found his legs hanging over the armrests far too enjoyable.
“Have I told you how much I adore you lately?”
“Mmm.” Tony hummed thoughtfully. “It’s been so long I can’t remember.”
“Pretty sure I showed you last night.” He grinned at the faint blush Tony tried to hide by nuzzling into Steve’s neck.  “You’re going to be the death of me. You know that?”
“I don’t think so.” Tony snorted in disapproval. “You promised you would outlive me so I would never have to live without you. A promise is a promise Alpha.”
“Promise is a promise.” Steve rumbled against his mates’ lips.
“Good Gods!” 
Bucky groaned and tilted his head back to avoid the display before him. He’s happy for Steve he doesn’t need to see it! He blindly reached for the doorknob and closed the door behind him. 
“Can you guys not? I don’t want to see all this at work.  This is a police station for fuck sakes.”
Tony scoffed and settled further down in his Alpha’s lap. “Like we want to see you with your hands all over Y/n? I saw more than enough at your apartment.”
He looked back at Tony and Steve, cheeks turning pink as he stuttered, “I – I don’t. She’s not – We are not like that in public.” 
Steve raised his brows and Bucky rolled his eyes, admitting his own hands spent more time on Y/n’s body than his own. “Fine, maybe a little…”
“What did you need Buck? Everything going alright?” Steve chuckled and nodded towards the seat in front of his desk, but Bucky shook his head and shifted from one foot to the other.
“It’s fine Steve. Today’s been an easy day. I gotta ask a favor though.”
Tony smirked and crossed his arms as he leaned back on Steve’s chest. “Oh? And what are we getting in return big guy?”
“Omega,” Steve warned. 
His large hand landed firmly on the back of Tony’s neck, giving a gentle squeeze, and the Omega melted at the touch. Normally, Steve doesn’t mind the snark and neither does Bucky, but something was off. He knew Bucky well enough to know when something was wrong.  
“Behave baby.” He purred in his ear.
“I always behave,” Tony grumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Your trouble for using the voice on me again. You owe me dinner tonight and other things when we get home.”
Steve grinned at his mate and looked back at Bucky, ignoring the comment about dinner and something else for the moment. They could talk about that once they were alone.
“Anything, Buck. You know that,” Steve promised. 
There have been several hundred times throughout their lives that Steve has seen Bucky uncomfortable, angry, sad even, but this? He had no idea what was going on but whatever it was weighing Bucky down hard.
“I need you guys to promise you will take care of Y/n if something ever happened to me. I – She needs that, and I’d like her to have my apartment. I don’t know when or if we will ever bond and I know, she can’t be on my benefits because of the whole legal Omega bullshit but I’d like for you to give everything over to her if I wasn't here to take care of her anymore.”
An air of awkward silence settled over the small office. It wasn’t a totally strange request given their jobs, but it seemed as though Bucky was in a rush to get it official as if he knew something Steve and Tony didn’t. That didn’t settle well Steve.
“Of course, Buck. I don’t think it will be much of an issue. You’re not going anywhere. Right?” Steve confirmed as he slowly sat up in his chair.
“I just have a bad feeling Stevie. I don’t know. I have that same feeling I had the night that Becs…” Bucky shook his head as if he was trying to shake the feeling off him. 
“Something is off, and I just want to make sure she is taken care of.”
Tony lifted his head to look back at Steve, he didn’t need his mate to say anything else. He knew what Tony was thinking. They both had a knack for sensing when trouble was coming, and this wasn’t a good omen. The moment Bucky was out of sight Tony was going to go check Y/n. Just to be safe.
A loud chirping came through from Steve’s desk and a woman’s voice came over the radio alerting them to some kids fooling around in an old abandon apartment building, gathering the attention of all three. Steve planted his feet on the floor and tilted his chair forward, picking up his radio off the desk. 
“Copy that dispatch. A unit is on its way.” 
Bucky was all ready heading out the door before Steve could officially assign him to the call. 
“Stay with Sam or take Nat. I don’t want anyone pairing up alone for a while,” Steve shouted after his former partner, but Bucky brushed him off with a wave of his hand.
He never went anywhere without Sam but it wasn’t as if he couldn’t handle one call on his own. Sometimes Steve worried about him a little too much. He’s a grown-ass Alpha that could take care of himself. Besides, not like he was going to do something stupid when he had a pretty Omega waiting for him to bring her dinner.
Bucky clasped Sam’s on the shoulders and gave him a gentle shake. “Gotta go partner. Get your ass up and let’s get movin’.”
Sam groaned and threw his head back. Of course, they would get a call right now. Right when he promised to swing by the shelter and see Maria. At this rate, after canceling on her repeatedly, she would never give him the time a day again. If he was lucky, she wouldn’t punch him in the face the next time he showed up at the shelter.
He wasn’t that lucky. She was a hundred percent taking a swing at him after he cancels tonight.
“Yeah, yeah. Give me a second. I have to call Maria. I told her I’d swing by for dinner--” 
Bucky leaned over and pulled his phone out of his hand before he could dial her number. There was no way he was letting Sam mess this up. They have been doing this back and forth for a year now. It was starting to get old and Bucky was a little worried Maria was going to beat to crap out of Sam if he didn’t figure out what the hell he was doing.
“It’s fine. I’ll take it on my own. It’s some punk kids playing around. Easy call. If it looks off, I’ll give you a call. Go see Maria and make an honest Omega out of her would ya? Don’t keep dancin’ around. You ain’t getting any younger.” Bucky grinned at him, repeating the very thing Sam had told him only a few short weeks ago.
“Oh, it’s gonna be like that?”
“Yeah, it’s gonna be like that.” 
Bucky grinned and tossed his phone back to him.
“Hey, if I’m not home when you get there will you stop in and check on Y/n?” He asked as he clipped his badge on his belt and adjusted his shoulder holster.
Sam nodded and patted his shoulder as he slipped on his jacket frantically, a huge grin on his face he was failing to hide. “You know I will. Your ass better give her a call though. We don’t need a repeat. I’m pretty sure she will hunt you down this time.”
Bucky laughed and held up his phone showing her number was already dialing, “Trust me. That’s not happening again. I know, I know. Don’t give me that look. Just wait till you’ve got a pissed off Omega waitin’ for you at home. Maria is pretty feisty when she’s not mad is all I’m saying.” 
Bucky chuckled laughed at the look of horror on his partner face, but the second Y/n’s voice rang in his ear Sam was long forgotten.
“God it’s good to hear your voice beautiful. Listen I’ve got a call but it’s nothing big. I’m making you sure you know since Steve doesn’t know how to use a damn phone. Sam will come by to check on you if I’m running late.”
They have only been apart a few hours and he was all ready counting down the hours till he was back home and in her arms. One more call and roughly three or four more hours to go. 
Gods, the rest of this shift was going to kill him.
