Bucky and Sharon have just landed in Hawaii. They were both looking forward to the next two weeks. But both of them felt a little guilty because they got a trip, while Steve and Natasha had to postpone their own honeymoon.

"I can't help it, Sharon. We're here in Maui while Steve and Natasha are stuck at home. It's just not right that they have to miss their honeymoon."

"Bucky, Natasha told us what Dr. Grey said. Extended air travel could possibly be detrimental to the health of the babies. I feel a little guilty too. But she also said for us not to worry. Just because they aren't getting their honeymoon in Paris, well it doesn't mean they aren't getting it."

"You're right. You're right, but they're my best friends. When we get back we need to do something really special for them."

"We will. But stop worrying about it. Look where we are. We're on a tropical island. I just graduated with my Masters. Let's have a little fun."

The hotel they checked into was not what they expected. The cost of the place would have cost Bucky three months' salary. This is why when they get to the front desk he's not at all surprised who paid for their room.

"Good Afternoon, Sir. Are you checking in?"

"Yes, we'll be staying here for the next two weeks."

"Aloha, and welcome to Hawaii. May I have your name please?"

"Barnes, James. I reserved the room two weeks ago."

"Barnes…Barnes. Ah, here we are. Your room is on the fourth floor. I do hope you and your wife will enjoy the honeymoon suite."

"She's not my…, wait I didn't reserve the honeymoon suite. There must be some mistake."

"No mistake, Mr. Barnes. Your room for the next two weeks has been paid in full. When you get back to the mainland, please tell Mr. Stark that we look forward to the next time he visits us."

He is shocked that Tony did this for them. Sharon walks up while he is handed the key to the room.

"Mrs. Barnes, Aloha and welcome to the Big Island. Please, enjoy your stay."

Looking at the concierge she says the same thing Bucky did.

"Oh, I'm not Mrs. Barnes, not yet anyway. Bucky after we get settled in, I want to hit the beach."

"Sure, but let's go check out this room."

As they walk towards the elevator she is confused, and looks at him inquisitively.

"What was that all about? Why did he call me Mrs. Barnes?"

"I'll explain when we get to the honeymoon suite."

"Wait a minute, how did you afford that room? Is there something you're not telling me?"

He gets flustered, thinking she might know his plan for this trip. Instead of answering, he just adopts a goofy smile.

"Bucky, what's going on?"

"All right, it was obviously Tony's idea of a joke. I didn't book the honeymoon suite. He booked it for us."

"But how did he know what hotel we were staying at? Is there anything Stark won't do to flaunt his money?"

"The guy's a genius, billionaire, philanthropist. He can afford to spend money like it's water."

"What's the catch? Even Natasha thought there was a catch when she found out he bought that beach house."

"I don't know. I'm sure there will be something. Let's not worry about that right now."

For the moment, she silences all further questions as they are shown into their room. It has a separate bedroom, along with an adjoining sitting room and a bathroom larger than their apartment. Taking it all in, she has one thing to say.

"I still don't know him that well, but I'll say one thing for Stark. He certainly knows luxury. The extravagance of this room is almost overwhelming."

As the bell hop prepares to leave, Bucky tips him with a twenty.

"Oh, Mr. Barnes, before I go, I was instructed to give you this message. Enjoy your stay. Good afternoon Sir, Ma'am."

"A message? What's it say, Bucky?"

"Turn on the television."

"Okay, but shouldn't we figure out the note first?"

"No that's what it says. Turn on the T.V."

Sharon does this, and Tony Stark appears on the screen with his snarky, smug smile.

"Hey Barnes, if you're watching this, then you and Sharon found the surprise I had waiting for you."

"No kidding, Tony. What's the catch?"

"Now you're asking yourself what the catch is. There's no catch. As I did for Steve and Natasha, this is all yours. Free and Clear. I want you to enjoy your visit. I just have one request when you get back to the mainland."

"There it is, I wonder what he wants."

"As you are aware, I am still in the process of developing an artificial heart. Now, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. In addition to that project, I've also been working on a new form of prosthesis. It's still very much in the developmental stage, but I have a working prototype. If you would be interested, Bucky, my request is that you be the first to test it. I designed it to replace your current prosthetic arm."

"That's a generous offer from him, what do you think?"

"I think there's more to this."

"There is more, the arm is partially cybernetic in nature. All I'm asking is that you think it over. The choice is yours. Once again, enjoy your stay."

The video recording cuts out, and Bucky still isn't sure what to make of the idea. But he decides not to worry about it at the moment. Right now he just wants to enjoy this vacation.

"Come on, Sharon. Let's go check out the beach."

For the next two weeks, the couple does all the tourist things they can. Tours of the islands, parasailing, and horseback riding. At night, they sit on the balcony of their room and watch the waves. On the last night of their trip he realizes how he has fallen hopelessly, irrefutably in love. It's at that very moment he does what he set out to do.

"Sharon, we've been together almost a year now. When I met you, I had only been back from the war for a year. I left because I wanted to run away from my problems here. I was torn apart. While I was overseas, I began to believe again. In something bigger than myself. Even when Steve came back there was an empty hole where my heart used to be. He saved my life over there, and gave me a second chance. It wasn't until I met you, that I felt that hole begin to fill back in."

She knows what he wants to ask as she watches him get down on one knee. It doesn't matter now how long she'd been waiting for this, Natasha was right when she said it would be coming soon.

"Now, I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else. Sharon, would you make me the happiest man in the world? Will you marry me?"

Tears fill up her blue eyes as she kneels down with him. She tried to hold it in, but she knew it was impossible.

"Yes, James. Yes, I will marry you."

Slipping the ring on her finger he realizes this is the first time she has called him by his first name. When they met he insisted she call him Bucky, because everyone else does. Now as the couple gets packed for their return flight home, they can't wait to tell all of their friends the happy news. As he falls asleep, Bucky silently thanks Tony for booking them this room.
