Skye occasionally hates being the soulmate of Bucky Barnes.
He's overprotective and being a former assassin, he takes overprotectiveness to a whole new level. They only go to restaurants if they can get a table with multiple exit routes, a view of the door and away from the window. It has to be all three or none at all. That makes it difficult to make a reservation to explain the specifics but luckily for them, due to their very quirky nature, they become regulars to this restaurant that's only five minutes from the tower and almost always reserves that one table every time they call.
But sometimes she just wants Thai or Vietnamese and that is a whole new minefield that Skye does not want to go into.
He also forgets that she's a trained agent and a super-powered hero. He worries endlessly when she goes into the field without him and she has to check in every few hours or bad shit happens at the tower. Bad shit, that is, referring to him eating up all the ding dongs and pop tarts and Thor going on a rampage because there's no more pop tarts.
That said. Her soulmate has a strange obsession with pop tarts (and ding dongs) that it makes her sometimes question if there's drugs in it. Her question isn't too far-fetched considering Jane's and Thor's equal obsession over it.
Clearly she isn't the only one who questioned it because Tasha assures her that there are no drugs in it with so much certainty that it makes Skye thinks that Tasha might have actually drug tested it. Skye is also certain that Tony might have just bought over the pop tarts company just to keep up with the demand.
Despite all their bickering, Skye mostly loves being Bucky Barnes' soulmate.
Skye loves the way he cocks a smile at her when she takes down enemies. She loves the way he snipes any sniper before they can even fire the shot, always watching her six when they're in the field. His presence is visible and almost tangible. Tony says that he can feel Bucky's glare through his armor when he's near her, oddly Sam agrees with him.
She loves how he always picks her call up on the second ring and is always awake at 3am to drive her home after a night of dancing with the girls. He knows when she needs to unwind and be away from the guys sometimes (which he understands includes him) and lets her have some space. Sometimes she thinks he's a mind reader, especially the days when she just wants to sit alone but not too far from him. Bucky would then slouch on the other end, popcorn in between them and his fingers curled around hers to let her know that he's there.
She finds it hilarious how he hides the last pop tart from her. She knows he probably isn't really trying to hide it and she knows this because she actually stumbled over it once (inside the third book on the third row) and if he was hiding it for real, she shouldn't have been able to find. Although she was rather horrified how he had carved a hole in the book. It was after only assurances from Clint that it's actually a mock book and not a real book book, that made her feel better. She doesn't really understand the difference between a mock book and a real book book but at least it's that weird twilight book that Tony bought for her on Christmas and thinks that at least now it's being put to good use.
He is always ready to defend her - not that she needs that, but it's nice to know that. He knows she capable of defending herself but doesn't think she should have to if he's there because he is her man. It's silly, but she loves it when he refers himself that way.
