~2 years later~

Two years ago, Steve Barnes née Rogers returned from a 45-year long mission where he had to protect the infinity stones. Following his return, he brought up the courage to confess his feelings to his long-time best friend Bucky Barnes who returned Steve's feelings. Steve retired giving up his shield to his other best friend Sam Wilson who had become a version of Captain America which Steve could have never been. Sam had proven he was worth the title of Captain America. Steve and Bucky had moved into Bucky's hut in Wakanda where they had spent time bonding with the locals whilst slowly learning Wakanda's native language Xhosa.

6 months ago, Bucky and Steve had finally gotten married through a mixture of American and Wakandan traditions. Steve had expressed his desire to take Bucky's last name as his own. Steve felt after all his years in the past he had more of a connection towards the last name then towards his own. Even on side missions that didn't involve Thanos, Steve still went by the name Normad Barnes which only contributed to Steve's assassin reputation. Bucky however, believed that Steve might had chosen Barnes as his last name to spite the Ancient One who seemed to always know about his future so before she died she had called him Mr Rogers-Barnes, a reference to his future marriage to Bucky. Steve would deny it to this day.

The sun was blazing in the sky, Steve was sat outside the hut focusing on fixing his cybernetic eye which seemed to be glitching. His back was to the hut.

"So, this is where you got to?" Bucky said as he walked out of their hut and over to his husband.

"Yeah, my eye was glitching, so I thought I should take a look. It's nothing serious just a loose wire" Steve said turning to face Bucky who subconsciously flinched when he saw Steve's vacant eye socket.

"What do you want to do for your upcoming birthday? Is there anything you really want to do?" Steve asked changing the subject from his eyes, he knew it was going to take a while until Bucky was used to seeing them after all Steve had to physically remove the cybernetic eyes from his eye sockets to make repairs to them which looked usual compared to Bucky missing an arm. Steve quickly fixed his one eye before turning away from Bucky and gently sliding the eye back into his socket. Once Steve was satisfied with it working correctly he turned back to face his husband.

"I really don't mind, as long as you are there?" Bucky answered, truth to be told Bucky had an idea about what he wanted to do for his birthday, but he wasn't completely sure whether Steve would be okay with it. Steve seemed to have settle in Wakanda and had never expressed a desire to do anything outside of Wakanda. The only time either Bucky or Steve had left safely of the Wakanda's barrier was whenever the Avengers were in need of some tactical advice, Steve and Bucky had declared they were finished with fighting however, they didn't mind advising or poking fun at Sam on occasion.

"Well is there some place you want to go to? Hawaii? Devon? Australia? Where haven't you been that you really like to go to? I'll go anywhere you want to?" Steve questioned. Bucky didn't answer straight away. Where did he want to go? They hardly left Wakanda but they deserve a break from everything. Steve's space ship caught his attention. It was parked beside the hut, most of the time Steve kept it small to prevent the Wakanda's children from getting access to it and accidentally harming themselves on some of the dangerous weapons stored inside.

"Space" Bucky said after winning his internal debate, he couldn't lie after Steve returned from the past and Thor had left with the Guardians. Going into space had been a dream of Bucky's, but he hadn't said anything because he didn't want to force Steve to leave his friends behind after only just returning, but it had been two years now. Everyone's lives had finally gotten on track that they didn't need Steve or Bucky's help.

"What" Steve said surprised.

"I've been thinking ever since you came back that going into space would be amazing. When we were young it had always seemed like a fantasy but now it's a possibility. I mean we have a spaceship why not use it" Bucky explained a little nervous, he wasn't entirely sure how Steve might take it. A large grin broke out on Steve's face before he stood up and immediately wrapped his arms around Bucky's neck.

"Okay Mr Barnes, we have the whole of space and time at our fingertips. Where do you want to go?" Steve asked before quickly adding "The Roman Empire is out of bounds though".

Bucky laughed.

"Where ever and whenever Mr Barnes. As long as I have you by my side" Bucky answered before drawing his husband closer, so he could capture Steve's lips in a passionate kiss. Steve returned the kiss with the same ferocity. He couldn't believe that after all these years, he was finally home.

The End
