A/N: P.O.V change in this one! Enjoy!

Bucky POV~

ЧтоФукса не так со мной? (What the fuck is wrong with me?) was the first thing the Winter Soldier thought when he woke up at 6am the next morning. Ugh I'm so stupid!

He laid in bed as still as possible hoping not to wake (Y/N) in the next bed. The scene from yesterday was playing over and over again in his head. Her long legs in those tiny shorts, the cleavage her vest top, how her breath had become shallower the closer they got. It was all too much for him to handle, all of the strict rules he'd set himself when around her had flown out the window once she'd gotten within a foot of him. He'd been trying so goddamn hard since they'd trained together for the first time to keep his distance, to not bond with her, to not let himself even hope to be an important part of her life. Yet one look at her and his mind had gone blissfully blank of all the crap that was usually filling his mind keeping him aware of his past.

What am I doing? She's let me this far, I could even be her friend and I almost kiss her! FUCK. He'd been awake an hour already and the almost kiss was still the only thing playing in his mind, every excruciating moment of it on repeat for him to dwell on. It was so silent in the room that he heard the change in (Y/N)'s breath. It had gone from even to slightly staggered informing Bucky that you were about to wake up.

Oh shit what do I do?! He rolled slowly onto his side to face you. You were just waking up, innocence and sleep on your face and it was the cutest thing Bucky had ever seen. Right, soldier mode.

Bucky jumped out of bed fully alert and started for the bathroom. "It's gone 8 (Y/N), we need to meet Daniel in an hour. I'm taking a shower". He walked out the room with purpose keeping a stoic expression the entire time. However, as soon as he shut the bathroom door behind him -rather too aggressively- he immediately slumped over the sink making eye contact with himself in the mirror. Okay, denial. Pretending it didn't happen. That's what I'll go with. Maybe she didn't even realise what was going on, maybe she'll forget. дерьмо́! (Shit!).

Reader POV~

You'd barely fully woken when Bucky had jumped out of bed abruptly and stomped into the bathroom muttering something about needing to get up. Well then. That answers my question, guess it was no big deal for him. That's for the best. Good. Fab. Really fantastic. You couldn't help the slight disappointment that flooded through you. You didn't even know why but you had been quietly hoping that there would be more to this than what had happened last night. You weren't sure what you'd hoped for but it certainly wasn't Bucky being back to his annoying brooding self.

You sat up and stretched trying to shake the sleep off of you. Today was going to be an important day, today you would find out why Daniel Savage and HYDRA wanted the Winter Soldier so badly. So in light of that you made a decision. You would not allow yourself any more time trying to figure out Bucky. You'd push him as far from your mind as possible unless it was relevant to the mission. You were a S.H.I.E.L.D agent after all and a professional. And more importantly you were a grown ass women who wouldn't be spending your time lusting after someone who wasn't interested. Hell you didn't even know if you were interested past his body. Get it together, it's mission time.

By the time you had sorted your hair into a professional looking knot at the nape of your neck and collected you clothes into a bundle Bucky left the bathroom. He'd washed and dressed in his Winter Soldier gear looking as formidable as his history would suggest he was. He didn't even glance at you as he walked over to the duffel bag on the floor and picked out a couple nasty looking guns.

You slipped into the bathroom and washed as quickly as possible, towelled off and threw on the clothes you'd left ready. After brushing your teeth and fixing your jacket in the mirror, you took a long look at yourself. "Okay. Let's do this."

You stepped out of the bathroom with your pyjamas in you arms folded neatly. Bucky was sat at the dressing table sliding bullets into the clip of one of you handguns while the other sat ready next to him. You'd just put you pj's on your bed when you felt his presence close behind you.

"These are ready for you. Hope you don't mind, I saw them in the bag." You turned to see Bucky stood close behind you with your two handguns laid flat on his outstretched palm. You took them without making eye contact and slid one into the hidden pocket inside your jacket and the other under you waistband.

"Thanks. Let's go". You walked past him to the door. You knew Daniel was stood outside, you could see the shadow of his feet under the door. You pulled the door open with a welcoming smile. "Daniel! Hi!".

"Morning Cassie, did you sleep well?" He pulled you in and kissed your cheek. When he released you he glanced up behind you obviously clocking the soldiers presence.

"Yes thank you, Mr. Savage. What's the plan for today?" You were curious as to how the day would go, surely explaining why Bucky was needed wasn't going to take a whole day. Would his involvement with this section of HYDRA start immediately?

"Daniel, please. We'll start with briefing you and the asset on the mission parameters. Then when you've assessed his abilities in relation to the task ahead, we were thinking a celebration. I happen to own a night club down town. Of course it's a front for HYDRA operations but the club itself is a good way to finish a long day of business with a drink in hand Ms. Lange."

"Cassie. Sounds like a plan." You smiled at him sweetly. The first part had sounded normal enough but the night club had surprised you. Not that a social aspect wasn't unexpected, you figured you'd have to spend time outside of business talk with these people in order to gain intel but a night club wasn't the setting you'd imagined. Wow...Bucky in a night club. That's new.

"Fantastic. Shall we make our way to the meeting room?" Daniel placed his hand on the small of your back and lead you down the hallway without so much as a pleasantry exchanged with Bucky. You could hear the soldiers footsteps behind you so you knew he was following.

"So tell me Cassie, how does such a lovely girl like you manage to deal with such a hand-full as him?" He nodded behind you to Bucky.

"Oh...I have no idea." It was the most honest thing you'd said so far.
