Steve

Steve stayed with Emily for another ten minutes, letting her sleep on him. He smiled to himself, his mind filled with thoughts of what they had just done. Her skin felt soft against his and he felt a sense of warmth and belonging with her over him. When Steve heard Bucky enter the apartment, he slowly slid out from underneath Emily and slipped on his trousers and putting his top back on as he entered the living room.

Bucky was sat on the sofa, smirking at him, "I wonder what you've been up to punk" Steve could feel his cheeks flush slightly, "I didn't think you'd be the one who would make the first move out of us" Bucky now chuckled. Steve felt slightly relieved that Bucky was happy. This was new territory for both of them, they had always spoken about what it would be like if they ever found their soulmate. Normally, it would be Bucky who would always win any girl over first and the only female who had paid Steve any slight attention and not Bucky was Peggy.

"I've been called out on a mission" Steve told him, now sitting down on the chair opposite the sofa, "me, nat and Clint are leaving tonight."

Bucky nodded, "well I'm sure I can take good care of our girl" Bucky told him, "I'll keep an eye on her, don't worry."

Steve nodded, "I should be back in a couple of days." Steve stood up to go shower. He switched the shower on letting it warm up before getting in. The water hit his body and he couldn't help but worry about Emily, he didn't want to leave just yet. Him and Bucky had both agreed that they would never get their soulmate to chose a favorite but what if Emily preferred one of them. What if she decided she only wanted to be with one of them or not at all. He worried about how Emily was dealing with the fire and losing her apartment.

Steve changed into his captain America uniform, Bucky was still sat on the sofa watching tv when he entered the living room to go into Emily's room. Steve looked at Emily as she was now cuddling into a pillow still asleep. He sat down on the edge of her bed, "Emily" he said quietly, stroking her back. He felt her stir underneath his hand and she moved her head so she was now looking at him, he watched as she gave him a small sleepy smile. "I'm leaving now for my mission, I will be back as soon as I can. Bucky's home and on the sofa watching tv."

Emily now started to move so she was now sat up in front of him, she was still naked and wrapped her arms around him. Steve wrapped his arms around her, humming happily to himself feeling her body pressed against his. "Hurry back to us, cap" she said, now pulling herself back to kiss him gently on his lips. Steve returned the kiss for a few moments, any worry now leaving his mind. She had told him to hurry back to us, not just her, but to Bucky as well.

Once they had pulled away, Emily made her way into the bathroom and he could hear the water running from the shower. Steve smiled to himself and he left her room, shutting the door behind him. Bucky now stood up and they embraced in a hug.

"Punk" Bucky said in their embrace, making Steve chuckle at the comment.

"Jerk" Steve replied, pulling away and leaving the apartment making his way to meet Natasha and Clint.

Bucky

Ten minutes after Steve had left, Emily now emerged from her room. She gave him a smile and Bucky could feel a sense of warmth looking at her smiling at him. He would never admit it to Steve, but after hearing that they had gotten closer he was slightly worried about Emily's feelings for him. Why would she want to be with him anyway, especially with Steve in the picture. He was a broken man with a metal arm who had been damaged, whilst Steve was captain America. The definition of the American Dream.

"Have you eaten?" Emily asked, making her way to the kitchen. His eyes travelled down her body, she was in a shorts and a tank top.

"No. I was waiting for you before ordering anything" he told her, now standing up and following her towards the kitchen. He sat on a stool behind the breakfast bar, looking at her as she bent down to look in the cupboards and fridge.

"Don't be daft, I will cook us something" she said, now turning around facing him. "Anything you don't like?"

Bucky shook his head, he was taken aback when Emily leant over the counter and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. He didn't even have time to register that she had kissed him, by the time she had pulled away. "Go sit down and once it's ready I will give you a shout." Bucky was about to protest when she smiled and shooed him away. He glanced once more time at her legs before making his way over to the sofa. Steve was one lucky son of a gun.

Bucky looked up from the tv to see Emily placing some plates onto the table. He switched the tv off and joined her. He felt a warm sense of belonging as he and Emily chatted about their days and moving on to just general conversation about interests.

"So, I've been asked to perform tomorrow night for a hour, I was wondering if you fancied being my date." Emily said, looking up at Bucky, "I'm performing some what in the middle so I can sit with you until I perform and then for the rest of the night when I'm done. You know if you can't it's no big deal" Bucky couldn't help but smile at her rambling.

"Of course I will doll." Bucky smirked, "I guess this is you asking me out on a date then."

He watched as she blushed, now looking down at her empty plate. "Well yeah, but I'm only admitting to it because you've said yes." Emily stood up, picking up her plate and reaching for Bucky's plate.

"I've got these, go sit yourself down and relax" Bucky told her now standing up and taking her plate, he could tell that Emily was going to protest, "if you don't, I'll follow through with my comment about spanking." He smirked at her as she laughed, giving up her plate and going to sit on the sofa.

Bucky took the plates to sink and washed up, lost in his own thoughts. She hadn't mentioned anything about his past with hydra, nor had she bought it up previously. She just seemed generally interested in him. For once, he felt normal. Once he had finished, he joined Emily on the sofa. He couldn't help but notice how she smiled at him, it lit up the room. He sat down next to her and she automatically leaned in towards him. He positioned his arm so it was now draped over her shoulder and her head rested on him.

They had spent the evening talking about random topics and watching tv. Bucky looked at the clock, "doll, we should be getting to bed it's getting late." He told her, knowing that he wouldn't be able to sleep anytime soon but if she was working tomorrow and performing she would need to get some sleep. He felt Emily look up at the clock, and she started moving herself off he sofa.

"Yeah, I guess your right" she yawned walking to her room and shutting the door. Bucky felt a cold sensation run through his body, he was no worries he had done something wrong. She had just got up and taken herself to bed like that. He sighed, running his hands through his hair. He switched the tv off and made his way to his room. He stripped off down to his boxers and got himself into the bed, he kept his door open in case Emily called out in the night and needed him. He closed his eyes, trying to settle his mind. He could hear Emily's door open and the sound of her feet making their way towards his room, he opened his eyes to see her now walking round his bed and getting in.

She gave him a smile, "goodnight Bucky" she leant down and kissed him, Bucky returned the kiss hungrily. He deepened it for a few moments, cupping her face with his metal hand. He pulled away and smiled at her and she hummed happily before turning around.

"Goodnight" he said, now nuzzling himself into the back of her.
