The next morning

You are woken up by a loud knocking on the door, Bucky is no longer beside you in bed but the shower is on so you figure he must be in there. You go into his bathroom and admire the man standing in the shower in front of you. His abs are perfectly formed, his metal arm glinting in the sunlight streaming in from the small window in the bathroom. You are so busy staring at the beautiful body in front of you that you don't notice him staring right back at you.

'Can I help you doll? Who's at the door?' Bucky asks you over the sound of the water rushing over his body. You forgot there was even someone at the door but assume it must be Steve or Sam wanting to go training. 'Either get the door or get in here with me, don't just stand there with your bedhead looking adorable.'

'I can't get the door when nobody knows about us yet Bucky, guess I'll just hop in the shower with you.' You quickly strip off and jump into the shower beside Bucky. 'Is this better?' You giggle and press your body up against his and wrap your arms around his neck as he kisses you softly and lovingly. The knocking gets louder and you both sigh as you realise you have to get out the shower or risk being caught, it's too early on for that yet.

'I'm sorry doll, that's probably Steve. I said we'd train this morning. Do you mind if we pick this up later?' You nod and sigh while slightly raising your eyebrows to imply you will pick yourself up as soon as you get back to your room. 'I see that look, no helping yourself until I get back.' He turns the shower off, steps out and grabs his clothes off the floor, then throws them on quickly and heads out the door, giving you a quick wink as he leaves.

You grab the clothes you were wearing the night before and try to sneak out the door to your room a few doors down the hall. On the way you walk past your brother walking to the living area with Hope and Cassie. 'Hey Scott, I didn't realise you guys were here today...? You here for a mission or just to hang out?' You pull Cassie in for a hug and kiss her on the top of the head. 'Hey squirt, you come to spend some time with your favourite Auntie?'

Scott laughs at you and reminds you that 'you're her only Auntie. But yeah, we're here to find out about a mission and maybe leave Cass to hang out with Peter and MJ. Why were you leaving Bucky's room?'

'I went to ask him something, but he was just leaving so it can wait.' You can't believe you're lying to your own big brother, but nobody can know just yet until you have a chance to tell everybody together. You turn to Hope. 'Hey girlie how's my big bro been treating ya'? Better be good or I'll have to give him a talking to!'

Hope smiles at you and nods happily. 'He's been better than good don't worry Mia; I'll whip him into shape if not!' You and Hope have always been good friends ever since you met a few years back, going for lunches and shopping every weekend when neither of you were on a mission for the Avengers.

'Awesome! Ok I'm gonna let you guys go, need to shower myself then I'll meet you in the living area!' You need to go get changed out of your clothes from the previous night before someone spots you that saw you last night. 'See ya in a few guys.' You wave and smile as you walk away to your room and quickly jump inside and shut the door. 'Holy fuck that was close!' You say to yourself and run over to the bathroom to have a shower. After the shower is done you pull out a pair of shorts and a summery blouse that you know Bucky likes. You head out to the living area and drop onto the sofa next to Cassie and hug her tight. Nat sees you and starts giggling as she sips her coffee.

'I thought you were told to be a good girl and keep quiet last night?' she asks you. Tony drops the glass he was holding and laughs at your reaction. You go bright red and hide behind your hands while Scott tries to cover his daughters ears and shoots Nat dagger eyes. 'Ooops sorry Cass, forgot you were here!' she laughs and scrambles to figure out how to remedy what she said. 'Auntie Mia was playing Twister with someone last night and they didn't want anyone to know because everyone else would wanna play.'

You roll your eyes at your best friend and try to save yourself to no avail. 'I'm 9 years old Nat, I'm not a child. I know what 'Twister' means' the sassy little girl answers, which warrants a surprised gasp from everyone in the room and a loud laugh from Hope. 'Where's Peter and MJ? I brought my Switch and some new games I wanna show them.' She says with a big smile, seemingly having forgotten about the new gossip. Tony points in the direction of the gardens and she saunters off to go find them, turning to give her father a kiss on the cheek.

'Seriously guys though don't mention anything to anybody about what you heard last night, its new and we don't want people to know yet. Who else knows?' You ask, almost not wanting to know the answer.

'Just us, and whoever you were in the room with. I think I can guess who but go on, tell us! We're dying to know who your new love is.' Nat replies with a giggle. 'Is it Steve? Bruce?' She gasps. 'It's Bucky!'

'What's me? What have I done this time?' As soon as their names were mentioned, Bucky and Steve walk into the room. You grab Buckys hand and pull him down onto the sofa next to you, placing your legs over his and kissing his cheek. 'Ah, that's what I've done. You.' He scrunches his nose up at you and looks up worriedly at Scott. 'What do you think big bro? Little sis is all grown up and having sex.'

'Oh my God Bucky I don't wanna hear about my sisters sex life! Just had to cover Cassie's ears to stop her knowing too much about it.' Hope tries to calm her boyfriend down by kissing him quickly. 'Ok, ok, Bucky. Its ok that you are dating my sister, just don't rub our noses in it ok?'

'Got it Scott! I'll be careful not to flaunt our happiness in front of another guy that's punching above his weight. Because come on, how did we manage to land the hottest girls in here? Sorry Nat and Tony... just don't tell Pepper I said anything ok?' He manages to get a fist bump from Scott, proving his approval.

'Ok ok that's enough boys! Bucky, you stink. Go shower! I've got a surprise for you afterwards so come see me. It's nothing naughty before you say anything Scott! Jeez!' You quickly add on, noticing the look you were getting. Bucky kisses you quickly and runs off to the shower. 'I'm gonna go get changed and have a swim while I wait for my Winter Soldier. See you guys later!' You saunter off towards your room, but Tony catches up to you and pulls you to the side.

'I see how happy he makes you and I'm glad. You took your time; we could cut the sexual tension with a knife here but better late than never. If he ever hurts you though, you tell me, and I'll fix it. Got that? Truth be told I like you a lot better than your idiot brother.' This makes you smile, and you nod in thanks.

'Don't worry Tony I can handle myself, but thanks. I think everyone loves me more than Scott! He has a good heart but he's not the smartest, is he?' You giggle 'Anyway I'm gonna go get changed before Buck gets out the shower. See ya later!'
