6:30 in the morning....

You: It should be a sin to be up this early in the morning.

Bucky: I know what you mean.

You: Why are YOU up so early, my good sir?

Bucky: WELL my lady, I have matters that need my attention.

You: Work?

Bucky: Yeah. Work.

Bucky: so what are you doing this fine morning?

You: fighting the coffee machine at work.

You: i'm losing...

Bucky: i'm dating a loser?

You: when have we EVER said we're dating?

Bucky: uuuhhhhhhh GOTTA GO!

You: Buckyyy!

You: Come baaaack!

You: Pleeeaaase!!!!

You: I'M PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD!

Bucky: 1) unlikely since we've ever met and 2) I'm sorry! But really! I gotta go! I'll talk to you later!

You: ugh fiiiiine!

Bucky had that photoshoot with Sheer Magazine at 9:30am but he still needed to take care of some things at work. So he went in early, despite his mind telling him not to.

At his desk, he looked over proposals and reports from the lab to see how prototypes are going and whatnot. Sam came knocking at his door with two coffees and a bag of pastries hanging from his mouth.

"You're a lifesaver, dude!" Bucky cheered as he set down his pen, helping Sam with the bag and drinks.

"Had to fight some teenager in line for it, so yeah. I'm a goddamn hero. Anyway, how's the pile going?"

Bucky slammed his hand on the small pile to his left, "This is the done pile," he then pointed to the very large pile to his right, "That's the not done pile.

Sam grimaced, "Yikes. Need help with that?"

"I've been needing help and, ya know, you're co-partner. I don't even know why these all keep coming to me!"

"Because everyone knows how reliable you are."

"If you're o unreliable, why are you still working here?" Bucky asked with a smirk.

Sam rolled his eyes, "Because you'd be bored out of your mind if I was gone."

"Uuuuggghhhh!!!!" Wanda heard you groan from the break room.

She peeked her head in with an amused expression, "You okay?"

"This coffee maker hates me! I've been trying to get it to work for fifteen minutes!"

Wanda walks over to you, looks at the coffee machine, then back at you, "Maybe it would help if you had it plugged in." she held up the cord.

You groaned, "Goddammit. I'm so stupid and tired!" You took the cord and plugged it in. You then pushed the on button and the machine came to life, "You're my hero, Wanda Maximoff. Will you marry me?"

She snorted, "Ask again with you're not fighting a coffee machine." she pat your head and exited the break room.

You took out your phone and texted Bucky:

You: sooooo....the coffee machine wasn't plugged in the entire time

You: I'm a fool

Bucky: you're so precious, you know that?

You: I'm not precious. I'm a tired and stressed out fool.

Wanda pops into the room again, "Hey, once you're done, Maria wants to go over today's shoot." you gave her a thumbs up and she was gone again.

When Bucky received another message from you, he didn't even think twice about looking at it. He read it over and snorted out a laugh, breaking Sam out of his concentration, "Text from your girl again?"

"Yeah," he didn't even try to deny it anymore. You were definitely his girl in his mind, "She's just having a rough morning. She was trying to get the coffee machine to work only to find out it was never plugged in."

"She's a mess," Sam said chuckling and shaking his head.

Bucky sighed, "Yeah, but she's my mess. Anyway, what time do we have to be at the shoot?"

"They want us there half an hour early to go over the suits and stuff," he looked at his watch, "So we have another two hours."

Bucky went back to his chat with you:

Bucky: you're still precious nonetheless

You: thanks. you're cool, i guess.

Bucky: way to boost a guy's ego, sweetheart.

You: ;D

You: anyway, gotta go now. need to prep for this shoot! ttylyd

Bucky: talk to you later....????

You: You dork. Talk to you later you dork

Bucky: ooohhhh

Bucky: HEY!
