" I' M serious Bucky." Charlie said, sitting on the edge of the bed. The sun was shining through the open window and the summer air breezed through the room. She sat adorned in her pajamas still, with her white hair falling around her bare shoulders, only covered by the strap of her tank top.
"I know you're serious." Bucky said; tempted to roll his eyes. He finished strapping the combat gear around his abdomen and then finally looked at Charlie.
There was a frown on her face and he could tell that she was trying not to cry. He watched her cross her pale arms and he didn't focus on the faded blue veins he could see in her wrist.
"You better be back. Tomorrow morning at the latest." Charlie said. "I really don't want you to go."
Bucky crossed the room, his heavy boots loud on even the carpet. "Honey, it's not that serious. We're only going to investigate everything that's been going on. It'll be Steve, Sam, Nat and I. We will be perfectly fine. I'll probably be back by tonight."
Charlie wrapped her arms around Bucky's waist and pulled him so they both fell backwards on the bed. "What am I supposed to do all day without you to annoy?" She asked.
Bucky laughed quietly and moved so he wasn't putting all his weight on her. "You will be fine. I am sure Oliver will keep you busy."
Charlie rolled her eyes and looked up at the ceiling. "I feel like a fifties housewife."
Metal fingers gently pulled her to look back at him and Bucky kissed her sweetly. "It's my last mission. I promise. Then I'll be working behind a desk. I'll retire, I promise."
"Somehow I don't believe you." Charlie said. Then she kissed him again. "You're lucky I love you." She said when they parted.
"I know I am." Bucky smiled slyly and kissed her again, leaning closer to her. Their lips moved in sync for a few minutes before he reluctantly pulled away. "I have to go."
"Come on, just stay. They can handle it without you." Charlie attempted one last time. Bucky smiled and stood up.
