"The party's going great so far guys, we just need the birthday girl to arrive. Do you have any idea where she is?" Tony asks and Bucky and Steve shake their heads.
"Really Bucky? You don't know?" Sam asks and Bucky looks at him confused.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asks and Sam opens his mouth, but Steve shakes his head and Sam closes his mouth again.
"Don't worry about it," Steve says.
"No, tell me," Bucky presses and Tony rolls his eyes as he rubs his face with his hands.
"My god, fine—" Tony starts, but is cut off by Bucky's ringtone.
"Is that Taylor Swift?" Scott asks as he pops up out of nowhere.
"Yea, y/n set it as her ringtone and I don't know how to change it," Bucky says before answering. "Hey doll."
All he hears is you laughing and then a crashing noise. "Hey, you okay?" He asks.
"When did a bush get there?" You ask no one and Bucky sighs.
"Where are you?" He asks and you laugh again. "I'm outside the compound. I need help though," you sigh and Bucky looks at Steve and gives him a thumbs up before leaving the room to find you.
He runs outside and looks around, but doesn't see you. "Doll?" He calls and is met with a giggle coming from behind him. Turning around, he sees your feet in the air and the rest of you buried by a bush. "Hi," you softly say.
"What happened?" Bucky asks as he walks over to you and picks you up. You squeal as you tighten your grasp on him. "Doll, your breath smells like alcohol."
"I had a few drinks with an old friend," you say innocently as you lay your head against Bucky's chest.
"Who's your old friend?" Bucky asks as he sets you down on your feet and holds his hands out to catch you if you fall.
"The bar counter," you giggle and Bucky sighs as you lean against him. "You're so warm... and cozy," you whisper and Bucky rubs your back. "And so strong." You grab his biceps and Bucky laughs as he blushes.
"I'm enjoying the compliments doll, but there's a whole party upstairs waiting for you," he says and your face drops.
"No," you gasp in disbelief as you press your hands against your face. "No, Bucky."
"I know, I'm sorry. If I knew you planned on getting drunk I would've told you what was going on," he says and you whine as you slump your shoulders and cry a bit. "What's wrong?"
"I'm so old," you say and Bucky laughs which causing you to glare at him.
"I'm sorry for laughing, but you do realize you're talking to an 108 year old man, right?" He laughs and you roll your eyes.
"Yea, but you don't look 108. Just like a damn Greek God. All muscled up and on display for every bitch in a twenty mile radius," you mumble as you start to walk towards the compound.
But your legs give out and you fall to the floor. Bucky rushes over and helps you up. "Woah," you say as you look at him concerned. "Are you okay?" You ask him and he looks at you confused.
"We gotta get you some coffee," he says and you nod your head as you go to open the door, but can't seem to twist the door knob. Bucky sighs as he reaches around you and opens the door. "I did it," you gasp as you stumble inside and are met face to face with Tony.
"Don't act drunk. You're not drunk," you whisper to yourself and Tony starts laughing as he looks at Bucky who sighs and looks up at the celling. "What's so funny?" You ask, but start laughing too.
"You're hammered," Tony says as he walks to you.
"I have a hammer?" You look at your hands but don't see anything in them so you frown as you look up at Tony. Bucky softly rubs your back and you turn towards him.
"We gotta get her upstairs," Tony says as he grabs your hand in his and leads you to the elevator. "Why are you holding my hand?" You whisper as the three of you get in the elevator.
"So you don't eat shit," Tony whispers back.
"She already did. Twice," Bucky says and you scold him.
"Shhh." You press your finger to your lips and he frowns. "Sorry," he whispers and you smile as you let go of Tony's hand as you walk up to Bucky and wraps your arms around his waist. You softly sigh as you press your face against his chest.
Elevator stops and you plant your feet down as you look around confused. "It's just the elevator," Bucky says.
"Will you protect me from it?" You whisper and Bucky nods his head as he kisses the top of your head. "Of course. Always, doll," he whispers back as you nuzzle into him more.
"What am I going to do when we get to the party?" You ask.
"Try not to talk to anyone you don't know," Tony says and you nod as you give him a thumbs up and let out a loud burp. You gasp as you slam your hand over your mouth and look at Bucky scared.
He's fighting off a smile, but when Tony lets out a snicker, he laughs slightly. "Guys it's not funny," you frown at Bucky and he nods his head in agreement.
The doors open and you try to manage walking in a straight line, but fail miserably. A few people look over at you and Sam and Steve burst out laughing when they realize what's wrong with you.
"I need help," you whisper to Bucky and he nods as he wraps his arm around your waist and takes over for most of your weight. "I knew I could do this," you whisper and Bucky rolls his eyes as he walks you over to Sam and Steve.
"You're wasted," Sam says and you frown as you look at Bucky.
"He knows. How does he know?" You ask and Bucky shrugs his shoulder.
"Because you walked in stumbling and attempted to walk in a straight line which resulted in you walking in a wiggly line instead," Sam says and your eyes widen as you hide behind Bucky.
"The counters getting closer to me," you whisper as you look at the counter like it's done something unforgivable to you.
"No it's not," Sam says and Bucky shakes his head at Sam. "Why are you looking at me like that, Bucky?"
You claw the air towards the counter and hiss at it. "Now she thinks she's a cat," Sam says with a sigh.
"It's okay doll, I'll protect you from the counter," Bucky says and you move under his arm to face him as you hug him again.
"Just fuck already," Sam whispers before walking always.
"I'd let Lana Del Rey fuck me," you softly say.
"Language," Steve says and you roll your eyes and giggle a bit.
"Can you go get a cup of coffee for her, please?" Bucky asks and Steve nods as he leaves the room.
You pull away slightly and look around. "There's a lot of people here," you giggle slightly and Bucky nods as he kisses your forehead.
"Thank you for taking care of me," you say and Bucky smiles as he rubs your back softly. "Of course doll, I'll always protect you," he says.
