It was almost midnight, and you still couldn't sleep. You honestly tried, but it wasn't home. You grabbed a spare blanket and even tried to lay out on the balcony but there were car noises once in a while you weren't used to. You texted Morgan, Penelope and Maria letting them know that you were safe and you were gone. Morgan told you he would make sure to clean out the fridge for you and make sure everything was locked up. You asked that he made sure the food was used, not thrown out. Penelope wanted you to text her the following day to give an update on how the examinations were going.
You started to pick up one of the more durable blankets, instead of the satin and gave a low whistle for the dogs to follow you. You figured if you went to the other side of the lake, you might find some peace and quiet. You made it as far as the stairs when a hand reached out and touched your shoulder. You didn't even have to turn around.
"Where are you headed?" his voice was raspy, you could tell he was tired.
"The other side of the lake, I can't sleep" you finally turned to look at him.
"Come on" he reached for your hand, and led you back to your room. You took a moment to get a good look at his bare back and his low hung sweatpants that really made you curious about the man beneath the clothes. Your traitorous skin gave you away, as you flushed yet again. He took your phone and put it back in the docking station, then patted the side of the bed for you to lay down. He went to the other side closest to the door and lay down on the other side. You slipped in unsurely, and he pulled you flush against him so you wrapped one arm around him and lay your head on his chest.
"Try to sleep" he murmured. You were back to feeling safe once again, and for the moment, the sounds of the cars didn't bother you. There was just the two of you, and the music. Within minutes, you started drifting off to sleep, feeling the bed sway softly from side to side.

"Breakfast!" Wanda's voice almost sang through the door as she knocked loudly. "You should hurry, people are hungry in the morning"
You heard a groan from Bucky vibrate through his chest. You cracked an eye open, and he was holding you now from behind with his metal arm pinning you to him. You did a small stretch and rubbed your eyes tying to turn in his arms to look at him.
"Morning" he smiled, and you saw the small crows feet beside his beautiful blue eyes that you never got tired of gazing into.
"Morning" you whispered feeling him pull you closer.
"That was the best nights sleep I've had in months" he reached up and brushed some hair out of your face.
"Same" you were afraid of saying too much. "No nightmares" you sighed happily.
"You should have come to get me" he rubbed a thumb against your bottom lip.
"I didn't want to wake you" you whispered.
"I was reading your book" he chuckled. "Its not like that, it's a lot better than what they wrote". You tried hiding your face, and he brushed your hands away from your face. "I enjoy how many shades of red you turn" he leaned forward and gave you a soft, but lingering kiss on the lips.
"We have to get up" you pouted.
"Breakfast is an important meal" he nodded, and gave you another quick kiss before sitting up. "You should change into your workout clothes, you have a lot to do today"
"Right, first exam" you sighed.
"I'll meet you at your door" you watched Bucky go back out the balcony door, and you turned off the music for now. You went into the walk in closet, putting on a pink sports bra and black leggings with kitten socks and black sneakers. Since you had variety, you might as well take advantage you shrugged to yourself. When you got to your door, Bucky was standing outside it in his own workout outfit of clean black jogging pants and a tight black shirt. He handed you one of his white t-shirts and grinned at you.
"I'd rather the agents your fighting against know I already staked my claim" he kissed your cheek as you giggled and put the shirt on.
"Did you?" you raised an eyebrow as you got closer to the dining room. "I think I need a reminder" you whispered with a grin. He grabbed your hand, pulling you flush against his chest and stared down into your eyes. You could feel your heart going rapidly, and felt your knees almost wanting to buckle by the way that he was looking at you. He gave a small smirk, and leaned down slowly maintaining eye contact until his lips brushed against yours. His hands tightened on your hips, pulling you closer as you wrapped your arms around his neck and pulling on his hair to bring him as close as you possibly could. His tongue touched your lips, and you immediately opened up for him. You felt his metal hand squeeze a bit on your hips, while his other hand travelled up slowly behind your head and deepening the kiss. You felt like you were going to instantly melt into a puddle, with the way your body was reacting.
"Wow" was all you could say when you finally broke apart for air.
"Now did I stake my claim?" he chuckled.
"Yes" you breathed, wishing he would kiss you like that again.
"Good, because I don't share" he leaned forward, and made a trail of kisses from your lips to your jawline to your earlobe and then right below to which you gasped again closing your eyes relishing in the feel of his lips. You didn't even realize how long you were standing there before Steve cleared his throat with a chuckle.
"Buck, breakfast" your eyes flew open and you turned several shades of red.
"Punk, I just need a moment" Bucky growled against the flesh of your neck.
"Y/N needs to eat before she goes for her exam" Steve reminded, trying to hold back a laugh. Bucky growled deep in his chest and released you from his hold. He looked at you and had a bright grin on his face.
"My job is done here" he grinned to himself and took your hand again leading you to the dining room.
