"Not much of a change Barns" I smirked at him "Are we joining everyone for dinner later?"
"Yeah doll, we will be, which isn't for another hour or so, how do you say we fill the time?" Bucky winked at me
"I'm sure we can think of something" I smiled.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
keeping a hold of Bucky's hand we walked into the family room, everyone else already sitting at the table, taking the seat next to Steve, Bucky took the seat next to me, Sam on the other side of him, Bucky and Sam falling into easy conversation, talking about training and next weeks mission, Bucky leaned back, resting his arm on the back of my chair still talking to Sam, Steve joining in while also talking to Clint,
"Hey Wanda?"
"Yeah Liv?" Wanda smiled over at me
"Do you think you might be able to go over some of those techniques you showed me before, for using my powers in a fight? We had an incident today"
"Yeah of course" Wanda grinned, "Nat you up for helping?"
"Of course, you know me, always game for a fight" Nat laughed "Hey, don't worry, arms all healed up now thanks to your dad, you have nothing to worry about, we can even have some girl talk after" Nat smirked, eyes going to Bucky's arm resting on the chair, I felt my cheeks heat up slightly, looking at Nat, I nodded my head
"After dinner good for you both?" Wanda asked looking between Nat and me
"Yep, good with me" I smiled, Nat nodding her head aswell.
"Liv, wanna come help me with the plates?" Steve asked nudging my shoulder,
"Yeah of course" I Smiled, standing to follow him, walking out of the family room and down to the kitchen, smiling at the chef while grabbing the plates to put on the treys
"Liv, we're friends right?" Steve asked, I looked up at him questioningly
"Well I'd like to hope so" I stated, Steve smiled
"What I mean is, I don't want to see you hurt, and Bucky is my best friend and I don't want to see him hurt either" Steve stated turning to look at me "What is going on between you?"
"Nothing Steve, we're just friends, we're supporting each other" I Smiled, talking the plates and walking back into the family room,
placing the plates on the table and sitting back down next to Bucky who turned and smiled at me "Everything okay doll?"
"Yeah, everything's fine"
after dinner I walked with Nat and Wanda to the gym sitting in the middle of the training matt, the only evidence of my earlier melt down was a slightly burned matt in the back corner of the gym, moving out to stretch my limbs Nat cleared her throat
"So, before we start, what is going on with you and Mr Barns?" Nat smirked at me
"Nothing's going on, he is the only one who knows what I have went through so he's been helping me" I Smiled
"She's lying" Wanda muttered, eyes glowing red
"Wanda!" I snapped "That's an invasion of privacy"
"So there is something going on!" Nat smirked raising her eyebrow
"Fine! but neither of you two get to say anything till I'm finished!" I Stated narrowing my eyes at them, both of them nodded their heads, "okay to start off with he was just helping me train and making sure I was okay, but then after one of my therapy sessions Bucky was waiting outside, Nat I already told you this, we went for some dinner and I had a panic attack, Bucky brought me home and took me to my room, but I was so shaken up I didn't want him to leave so I asked him to stay and he did, that night I woke up and Bucky was having a nightmare, I tried to wake him up and when I did it was as if he was still in the dream, he pinned me to the bed he didn't take long to snap out of it though, he jumped away from me, worried that he had hurt me " I paused for a second "I basically told him that it didn't matter, walked over and stood in font of him, he looked at me for a second and then we kissed..."I trailed off looking towards Nat and Wanda,
"Is that it?" Nat asked looking at me, feeling the blush crawl across my cheeks
"No, that's not it" I muttered "So up until yesterday nothing had really changed, a few stolen kisses here and there but other then that pretty innocent "Nat scoffed at this, rolling my eyes I continued "we found that we had a better time sleeping if the other was there so we have took to sharing my bed at night, again all pretty innocent, until yesterday, I had another session with Dr Raynor with my parents present this time, when I was walking to my car after the session, I had a strange feeling someone was watching me, I started to panic, it was the first time I had ever been by myself during a panic attack, I got into the car and called Bucky, he came and got me and drove us home, I felt to helpless and scared, I felt pathetic, when we got back Bucky walked me to my room, came in with me and got me some water and went to walk out, but I called him back, I kissed him, I begged him to help me forget and we slept together"
"But you already said you where sleeping in the same bed" Wanda stated confused, I looked at Nat and burst out laughing "No wanda, they slept together, as in she begged Barns to fuck her" Nat laughed
"Natasha!" I gasped "you don't need to be so vile!"
"So was it only once that you two fucked?" Nat asked wiggling her eye brows at me
"No, I had a nightmare after everything that happened yesterday and he woke me up, and we fucked as you so eloquently put it, and then again before dinner"
Natalie started laughing while I blushed and Wanda was sat quiet as usual "So, Liv, does that mean you like each other?" Wanda asked looking at me.
"I like him, I'm not sure if it means anything to him" I shrugged my shoulders turning to grab the training matts
"Liv, you don't just like him, your in love with him" Wanda stated, I spun round to face her, her eyes glowing a deep scarlet
"Wanda! Again invasion of privacy" I muttered "Yes, okay fine I love Bucky! it doesn't change anything, he's sergeant James Barns, Steve and Sam's best friend, I doubt he's going to reciprocate the feelings of Tony starks damaged eldest daughter" I stated, both Wanda and Nat's eyes went wide "What?"
"Liv?"
I turned around to the shocked faces of Sam, Steve and Bucky
"Oh fuck" I muttered "I will see you guys later" I waved to Wanda and Nat running out the gym
"Liv wait!" I kept running, making my way out side, "Olivia for fuck sake would you stop"
keeping my pace, I kept running until I reached the lake sure no one was following me anymore, I sat on the grass, trying to catch my breath,
"Liv for fuck sake why did you run away?!"
I turn round to see Bucky standing behind me, his face slightly red
"I didn't mean for you to hear any of that, I don't expect you to feel the same way about me, I didn't mean to fall for you, I...it just happened" I turned away
"Say it again" Bucky stated, I turned back towards him
"What?"
"Say it again" Bucky stated, kneeling down in front of me
"I'm in love with you, I love you" I muttered, Bucky smiled at me, reaching out, taking his face in my hands, kissing me softly, pulling away slightly resting his forehead against mine,
keeping his eyes locked with mine "Oliva, I don't remember the first thing I said to you, I'm not even sure if it made sense because the moment I laid eyes on you all I could think about was how I wished I could tell your parents they made the most perfect human I'd ever seen, I wanted to die for a second just so I could go and thank god for that extra time he spent making the crinkle in your nose and putting the stars in your eyes, I couldn't think about anything else, so I hope you forgive me for asking you to say it again the first time you told me you loved me, because god I could listen to you say that a million times, I can't tell you when I fell but I can tell you when I knew, I knew when you could ignore the trauma from my past and kiss away the pain and fix any bad day, I knew when my day was incomplete if I didn't get you to smile, I knew when I wished your laugh was on Itunes so I could download it and listen all day to my favourite sound in the whole world, I knew when it became a reflex, like breathing and blinking, every day I wake up and I love you, I don't think I'll ever stop " (A/N Seen it on and tiktok, couldn't resist)
"I..What?" I questioned
"I love you" Bucky stated leaning down and kissing me again.
