You had inhaled your supper, after using all your energy on your flame ability. Happy put the rest of the cookies that had been made in the middle of the table and you had one for dessert, leaning back and sighing happily to yourself.
"So, back to the little episode outside" Tony started, and you flushed a deep red. "I'm curious, how did you bring out that much power without hurting yourself?"
"I don't know, I just thought of something that makes me happy and it felt like it was just taking over me. I felt almost giddy with it" you looked down at the table, feeling shy all of the sudden.
"Was it a memory, or was it a feeling?" Bruce wasn't letting this go. He was amazed since not that long ago, the flame wings had given you second degree burns.
"A little bit of both" you mumbled and started biting your bottom lip. Nat and Pepper both looked at you knowingly and smiled to themselves.
"We shouldn't test that one too much for now. Maybe it was a one off situation" Steve crossed his arms, seeming to be deep in thought. "You did throw a lot of energy at the water. I would hate to see what would have happened if you had held onto it"
"We are going to try to focus on seeing if we can bring out your frost abilities tomorrow, see if those still work" Tony advised you softly.
"I'm willing to give it a shot" you nodded. "I'm used to the frost abilities, I never really wanted to use my flame abilities in the past. They scare me still" you admitted.
"How do they scare you?" Sam wiped his mouth after having had another cookie.
"Well, they rarely used to come out and when they did, it was always unpredictable. I always felt like I was out of control with them. Today was the same, I couldn't control them the way I am used to with the frost and ice. Its hard to explain" you chewed on your bottom lip again.
"You'll have to start training with Wanda more once she's back" Nat decided for you. "Using your abilities, finding a way to focus them better" she added.
"That's probably best, is she coming home soon?" you looked at her expectantly.
"Not while we are in lockdown" Tony shook his head. "Still waiting on a few more arrests to be made before we can lift that"
"Shouldn't we help with that?" you asked quickly.
"No, Bravo team has been in charge of that at Fury's request" Tony shook his head. "They have things handled"
"Can we leave the compound while on lockdown for anything?" you asked after a long silence while the others were finishing eating.
"No" Pepper shook her head. "What did you need? Ask Friday for it"
"I wanted a few frames, and some new books since I'm supposed to still be resting" you admitted.
"I'll show you how to order them online, and we will have them delivered express shipping" Happy smiled at you. "You haven't used your credit card yet anyways"
"Can you show me tomorrow morning?" you asked hopefully.
"Of course, then we can watch some more movies" he nodded with a grin and you danced a bit in your seat.

After everyone was done, you found most of the team had gone to the living room so you followed suit. Bucky sat closely beside you while you had Leia laying across your lap getting her snuggles in. Harry had decided to sit on Steve's lap facing him, almost demanding attention while Chewy was laying beside Tony and Pepper. Lily came into the room and laid behind Happy's head. You watched while Bucky and Sam were playing Mario Cart together, and trying to kick each other off the rainbow road. Bucky kept swearing at Sam and Sam in kind kept swearing at Bucky. You couldn't help but giggle at their antics.
"If Peter was here, he would kick both your butts" Steve chuckled.
"Language, he said butts" Tony joked, giving Pepper a kiss on her temple.
"Come on man, take the L Barnes!" Sam exclaimed while Bucky passed him and beat him to the finish line.
"I won" Bucky grinned happily, leaning over to kiss you on the cheek. "In more ways than one" he added gazing at you. You gazed into his eyes adoringly and gave him a soft smile.
"Come on man, another round" Sam started setting up the next level. Bucky just shrugged and kissed you on the cheek again before focusing back on the tv.
"We don't get enough nights like this" Bruce sighed where he was sitting on the floor in front of Nat who was rubbing his shoulders.
"This is nice" you nodded, smiling softly to yourself.
"The dogs are enjoying it" Pepper chuckled to herself while Chewy started wiggling beside her wanting more attention. "Its nice having pets around"
"They do make life more bearable" you grinned. "I was lucky with these three"
"How did you end up with three dogs anyways?" Tony looked over expectantly.
"When I was working the diner one night, about a year after Lily came into my life, there was this guy with a dog tied up in the back of his truck coming through town. He had these three sickly looking puppies in a cage in the tail gate. He came in the diner, and said he was taking them to the vet to have them put down. They weren't strong enough to be guard dogs, and couldn't sell them since they were so thin and tiny. I remember it was a pretty hot day, and I wanted to slam his stupid face into the table. They just needed a little extra love, and some water. So I took all my tip money out of my pocket and threw it on his table before walking out and taking the cage off his truck and brought them inside. It took a while to coax them out of the cage. I put some water down for them while Pops cut up some hamburger for them so I could feed them. I almost froze the water I was so angry. When I came out of the kitchen the guy took the money and had left. I promised them that day I wouldn't ever put them back in a cage, and I would take care of them. Turns out, they like to take care of me too" you smiled at the memory. "Never saw that guy again, but that's probably for the best. They are the best dogs I could have ever asked for"
"Smart man to take the money and run" Happy nodded approvingly. "I'm surprised you didn't take his other dog too"
"Oh, I almost did. If he wouldn't have taken off, I was headed to his truck to do that" you admitted. "I just was so mad. Pop's used to let me keep the dogs in the back room while I was working so they could help train them, and make sure they were fed and everything while I was busy. Ma used to go in the back with Penelope and Maria and feed them left overs all the time. Once they were two years old, I started leaving them at home more. Took a while for them to get used to me being gone for a few hours at a time, but I couldn't keep bringing them with me everywhere. Truck's too small, and in the summer its too hot. Too cold in the middle of the winter" you shrugged.
"Was it hard for them to get used to?" Pepper asked curiously.
"Yeah, they ripped apart the first couch I had, and the chair. Thankfully they are done destroying furniture if I'm not around" you giggled when you saw Tony's face. He looked appalled that they had destroyed furniture.
"Do they like toys?" Nat had noticed you didn't have any back at the cabin.
"Love them, I used to buy them when I had the extra money. Those, they destroy pretty quick. I wanted to buy them some more tomorrow once Happy shows me how to buy stuff online" you grinned. "Lily likes her catnip balls, and Chewy ate the last one I got her"
"Well Sam, are you done losing for tonight?" Bucky asked after another while of silence, putting the controller down.
"Fuck off Tinman. You only won two of three" Sam quipped back.
"I'm ready for bed" Bucky shrugged, and handed the controller to Steve.
"Its only 8pm" Tony seemed surprised.
"I need time to dance with my dame before bed" he grinned pulling on your hand to stand up. You giggled and said your goodnights while he led you out of the room towards your room.
"James, what are you up to?" you asked once you were far enough away from the living room.
"Like I said, I want a dance with you before we go to bed" he smiled, with a mischievous glint in his eye. He gave you a wink and pulled you close to give you a quick kiss on the lips.
"You want to dance for a few hours?" you quirked an eyebrow.
"Well, I have other plans" he opened the door giving your ass a playful slap on the way into your room. You giggled walking over and putting your phone on the docking station. He came up behind you and pulled you back against him with your back against his chest. He leaned down and kissed your collar bone before reaching past you and turning on your music. The room filled with your romantic playlist and he pressed a kiss on the side of your neck as he started to sway you to the music. You slowly turned around and he took your hand to kiss your palm as he pulled you close again to continue to sway to the music. You put your one hand over his shoulder and played with his hair at the back of his neck and gazed at him lovingly. He leaned down and kissed you softly on the lips before leaning his forehead against yours and closing his eyes to enjoy the moment. You smiled in spite of yourself and closed your eyes as well, feeling his metal hand rubbing the small of your back.
"What were you thinking of when the wings came out?" he asked softly and your eyes opened quickly to see he was gazing down at you. You flushed a deep red and bit your bottom lip looking down. "What's wrong?" he whispered.
"Nothing, its nothing" you smiled up at him.
"Are you going to tell me?" he smiled expectantly. "I like knowing what's going on in that pretty head of yours"
Perfect by Ed Sheeran came on, and he pulled you closer to him and you felt your pulse quicken. You weren't sure if he was ready to hear what you were thinking yet. He put you into a turn, then slowly pulled you back against him.
"I thought about you" you finally admitted. "I focused on my feelings for you" you blushed a deep red staring into his eyes. You saw him flush a little bit, then he gave a brilliant smile. He put you into another turn, and this time when he brought you back, he kissed you softly on the lips.
"I love you" he pulled back whispering it against your skin. You felt your face break into a smile that you couldn't hold back if you wanted to. "You don't have ta..." he started before you grabbed him from behind his neck and pulled him down to kiss him heatedly on the lips. You felt him groan a little as he pulled you flush against his body and he pulled back after a few moments looking at you curiously.
"I love you too James" you continued to smile. He gave that smile that lit up the room for you and he leaned down to kiss you again.
"Fucking luckiest man alive" he spoke against your lips before pulling you up by your thighs to wrap your legs around him again while he deepened the kiss.
"Luckiest dame alive" you blushed pulling back a little to gaze in his eyes. His nose brushed against yours as he leaned in for another kiss. You only felt relief saying those three words out loud finally. You were glad you waited for him to say it first, so you knew the timing would be okay. You had been worried when you had almost told him so many times. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world, loving him. You felt his flesh hand come up behind your neck while he continued to keep most of your weight with his metal arm as he deepened the kiss. You moaned appreciatively, running your hands through his hair. You felt him start to lay you on the bed, while he hesitantly stopped kissing your lips to make his way to your earlobe then your neck.
"Fuck, I love you" he groaned deeply moving his way to your collarbone. You kissed the top of his head, and moved to his temple gently trying to urge him to come up to kiss you again. He had other idea's as he reached for the bottom of your shirt pulling it up slowly while he continued to leave love bites along your collarbone. You pushed yourself up off the bed a bit so he could finish pulling your shirt off. You spied two large burn marks around some rips as he threw the shirt to the corner of the room. You brought your hands to the bottom of his shirt, and giving it a soft tug wanting to see more of him. He pulled away long enough for you to pull the shirt off of him. He lifted his arms for you, so you were in control as it came off. You were like a moth to a flame, and sat up completely to start kissing down the side of his neck, focusing on the spot that would always guarantee a moan from him. This time did not disappoint, as you gave it a small nibble as well. You felt his metal hand go and unhook your bra expertly and you gave a small giggle as you moved to his collarbone.
"Thought about this all-damn day" he groaned as he reached for your leggings, pushing you back onto the bed and he gave you a brief kiss before he started making his way down your neck to your chest where he pulled off your bra slowly before taking one of your nipples between his lips. He started to tug at your leggings and you lifted your hips to help as best you could and he pulled them down and off your legs quickly. "Knowing there was nothing under those leggings... all night I tell ya" he went back to kissing your breasts, and made little kiss marks one his way down your stomach purposely making his way to your very moist cunt. He latched onto your clit and sucked on it experimentally before starting to tease you with his tongue. "I love your taste" he stuck his tongue inside of you and you gasped at the new feeling. You moaned softly running your hands through his hair. You moved your hips trying to urge him on, and he put his metal arm across your hips to hold you down while he went back up to work on your clit again. With his flesh hand he started probing you with two fingers, and curving them after a few pumps making you moan even louder. "I love your moans" he stopped and started leaving a kiss mark on your inner thigh. You sighed happily, feeling your climax coming quickly with the way his fingers pumped in and out of you. He moved back to your clit again, moving his tongue even faster making you moan his name even louder and you felt him chuckle to himself. You felt him curve his fingers and you gasped out his name loudly, and he started kissing his way back up towards your breasts removing his fingers. "I love the way you say my name" he nibbled on your breasts while you continued to come down from your high. "Fuck I love you so much" he couldn't seem to stop saying it. He made his way slowly to your lips and you kissed him hungrily wanting the moment to never end. You could still taste yourself on his tongue, but you didn't care. There was only him in this moment, and forever. You knew you'd rather die than be without him in your life.
You slowly pushed him onto his back and started kissing down the side of his neck eliciting a moan from him as you made sure to leave a kiss mark on his sweet spot before making your way to his collar bone. He moaned your name as you started moving your fingernails down his chest. "I love the way you moan my name Sargent" you took a page out of his book. You started kissing a trail down his chest leaving kiss marks the same way he had done to you, making sure to do so even on his abs. You knew he might take off his shirt in the gym and you didn't care. You were marking your territory thoroughly, and you were proud of it. He ran his hands through your hair, and was watching you with hooded eyes while licking his top lip before biting down on his bottom lip. You got to his sweat pants and took the hem in your teeth and pulled them down to his knees before pulling them off the rest of the way with your hands. He groaned loudly.
"Fuck your sexy" he pulled a bit on your hair, growling deep in his throat. You reached up and touched the hem of his boxers, but not before licking the front of them along where his shaft was straining against the material. You dug in your nails a little while starting to pull them down and he jerked his hips in response.
"I love the way you move" you purred to him as you pulled them off at his feet. You kneeled between his legs and licked him from the bottom of his shaft to the tip, using your hand to keep him still on the hip. He moaned again, and you waited for him to open his eyes to look at you. You grinned and took him in your mouth, while maintaining eye contact. He gasped a little as he hit the back of your throat, however you only moaned in pleasure knowing that he liked it. You hallowed out your cheeks while using your other hand on his balls to rub them softly while you bobbed your head up and down. You stopped momentarily to focus on the tip, running your tongue along each bump then taking him all the way down to your throat again. You heard him moaning your name even louder and his hand went to your hair pulling on it softly. You kept eye contact with him and went a little faster. You heard him groan and watched him throw his head back as he came in your mouth. You swallowed it with a grin, then licked your lips appreciating the taste. "I love the way you taste, James" you left a kiss mark on front of his hip. He pulled on your hair again and you looked at him with all the love you had in your heart. "I love the way you say my name" you whispered to him.
"Get up here" he smiled and you crawled slowly up his body making sure to leave kisses everywhere you could. He groaned loudly and grabbed you under the arms and pulling you up the rest of the way. His mouth found yours quickly as he kissed you hungrily. You sighed softly, feeling so happy in this moment. You didn't even have to wonder, you knew your flames would be out if it wasn't for the inhibitor and so would your wings. You couldn't imagine being happier than you were in that moment.
"Fuck I love you" you pulled back for air, repeating to him what he said earlier.
"I love you" he smiled wide, and pushed you back onto your back and he slowly started inserting himself into you. You felt every bump and vein as he pushed in at a snails pace. He leaned down to kiss you while he continued until he finally bottomed out and you wrapped your legs around his hips giving a small moan. "I'm going to make sure this pussy knows it belongs to me, and me alone" he growled in your ear while giving your collar bone a quick nip.
"It already knows" you giggled and he grabbed your legs from around his waist and put them over his shoulders as he started pumping in and out of you still going slowly. The new position made you feel things a bit more, it made him seem almost larger and you groaned his name. You tried to move with him but he started to pick up the pace catching you off guard. He went from making love to you slowly to starting to almost move at a feverish pace making you cry out with each thrust of his hips as he slammed into you. "Fuck" you threw back your head, not even able to think clearly. You grabbed at your own breasts as they bounced with each movement, making him groan at the sight. He brought a hand down to toy with your clit while he kept going, his hips snapping into you even louder and you cried out his name as you came again. Moments later you felt him release inside of you and he finally let your legs fall from his shoulders while he leaned down moving your hands from your breasts so he could rub them and kiss them himself. You were thoroughly wrecked, and didn't think you would ever survive this man. He pulled himself out of you slowly and started making his way up to your lips again giving you a long sweet kiss. You sighed happily as he pulled away, only to fall beside you on the bed and pulling you close to him.
"Too much?" he asked you softly.
"No, always perfect" you whispered to him, nuzzling into his chest.
"Just like you" he kissed the top of your head and pulled at the blanket pulling it over both of you.
"No, you are" you rolled your eyes. "I'm just the dame that lucked out" you giggled as you felt him give your ass a slight swat.
"I love you Y/N" he kissed the top of your head again.
"I love you James Bucky Barnes" you whispered, rubbing his chest with your free hand.
