"Hey Nat!" You said to your best friend as you strolled into the conference room. The two of you had some paperwork to finish up from your previous mission and you decided to meet up and finally finish it. "Hey!" She swiveled around in the chair to respond, her beautiful red hair falling effortlessly across her shoulder.
"Would you wanna go shopping later? I've had my eye on this dress and I need to just pull the trigger on it." You asked, plopping down into the chair across from her. She looked up from the desk and gave you a frown. "Ugh I'm sorry I totally would but I've got plans with Steve."
You wiggled your eyebrows up and down at her causing her to roll her eyes. "Well I'll let you miss shopping for that exception." The two of you laughed before you got deep into your work. Rummaging through stacks of papers and signing where necessary.
After a grueling hour and a few paper cuts you made your way into the kitchen for lunch. You grinned seeing that Bucky was already sitting at the table munching on a sandwich. You walked up behind him and snaked your arms around his shoulders. You leaned down and placed a kiss on cheek, pulling away with a smooching sound.
"Well good afternoon to you doll." Bucky laughed looking up at you while finishing his bite. "How was the paperwork?" He asked as he pulled out the chair next to him signaling for you to sit. "Eh you know, boring as always. And I got a boo boo."
You playfully pouted and stuck out your thumb at him to show the nearly microscopic cut. He chuckled before grabbing your hand and placing a soft kiss on your thumb making you smile. "You're an avenger and you're whining about a paper cut?"
"Hey! They still suck." You laughed. "I wanted to go shopping but Nat has plans. Wanna come with me?" You knew Bucky didn't care for shopping, but he would do it for you. "I'm sorry baby, I've got plans with Sam. I'm trying to be nicer like you've asked."
You shook your head at him, "okay okay fine. I'm glad you're being a team player." You were thinking you would ask Wanda if she wanted to go, and if not well, you were quickly running out of candidates. As if on cue Wanda strolled into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl leaning her back against the counter.
"Wands! Go shopping with me?" You interlocked your fingers and gave her your best pleading look. But when you saw her face drop you knew the answer. "So so sorry Y/N, Visions taking me out to dinner."
You audibly groaned but told Wanda you of course understood and wanted her to have a good night. Bucky looked at you with sympathy, feeling bad that everyone had to say no for reasons he couldn't say. "How about I take you shopping tomorrow is that okay?"
He gently placed his hand on your thigh giving in a gentle squeeze. "That would be lovely, thank you." You leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, both of you pulling away with a smile.
"Okay have fun with Sam I'm gonna go workout then shower! Enjoy your dinner Wanda!" You waved goodbye to the two and headed off towards the training room, you wanted to get in a quick run on the treadmill and a little bit of weight lifting.
After your workout you headed up into your room chugging every last drop of water from your bottle. You peeled the sweaty clothes off of your body and turned on the shower, desperate to get clean.
You took your time in the shower, using all of the fun scrubs and products Pepper had gifted you. It was really relaxing and you didn't have any plans so there was no need to rush. After finishing up, you pulled back the curtain and stepped onto the bath mat. Grabbing and wrapping the towel around your body.
You opened the bathroom door and immediately noticed the box sitting neatly on the bed. You furrowed your eyebrows and walked towards the gift. You looked around for someone even though you knew no one would be in your room.
It was a white, flat rectangular box and had a neatly tied red ribbon around it. You also noticed a small note sticking out of the side. You picked it up and unfolded it, your heart immediately swelling upon reading it.
"Don't ask questions, put on the dress and meet me on the rooftop at sunset. I love you
-B"
You wasted no time taking off the ribbon and opening the box. You gasped when you saw the dress, it was the one you were telling Nat about. It was a white dress with beautiful detailing and had puffy sleeves. You thought it would be a perfect summery dress and you've had your eyes on it but it was a little pricy and you just couldn't justify it to yourself.
You lifted it up and placed it flat on the bed, smoothing it out. You had no idea how Bucky knew about the dress, but you had especially no idea what he was up too. You quickly felt excited and rushed back into the bathroom to get ready.
Since you took a bit longer in the shower, you had to work quickly getting ready. You blow-dried and curled your hair into loose waves. Then you did a very natural and light make up look. After swiping on a coat of lipgloss you headed back into your room to get dressed.
The dress fit perfectly and you were absolutely in love. You decided on a pair of suede light pink chunky heels. After looking over yourself one more time you were satisfied enough to head out to the roof.
You had perfect timing, as the sun was starting to set and the beautiful pink and orange colors were scattered across the sky. The tower was extremely quiet, which was not normal. But then you remembered Wanda and Nat had plans so maybe everyone else did too, it was a Saturday after all.
Once you reached the roof level, the elevator doors opened and your jaw dropped. There were rose petals and candles lining the walkway to the balcony. There was some light instrumental music playing, and the temperature couldn't be more perfect, the light breeze moving the petals around the ground ever so slightly.
Your eyes traveled down the path and the sight at the end almost brought tears to your eyes. Bucky was standing there dressed nicely in some dress pants and a plain black shirt. He had his hands interlocked behind his back and was nervously rocking back and forth on his feet.
You slowly walked towards him, trying to take as many mental pictures of this moment as you could. His smile grew with every step you took towards him. He pulled his hands from behind his back to hold yours.
"Bucky what is this?" You asked, squeezing his hands in yours. "Y/N you're everything to me. You are my sun, my moon, and all my stars. You are my bright light in this dark world, and most importantly you are my sun during my harshest winters."
You felt the tears again as his words pulled at every emotion inside of you. He cupped your cheek, brushing away a stray tear with his thumb. "I still don't know what I did to deserve you, but I want to spend the rest of my life making sure you know how much I love you."
You breath hitched in your throat as he removed one hand from yours. He reached into his pocket pulling out a small velvet box. You raised your hand to your mouth in pure shock as he knelt down onto one knee in front of you.
"Y/N, I promise to always be the man you deserve, will you marry me?" He smiled brightly up at you, butterflies swarming in your stomach. You leaned down and grabbed his face in your hands, placing a passionate kiss on his lips.
"Yes yes yes, a million times yes!" You laughed onto his lips. You pulled away so he could place the beautiful ring on your finger. The both of you were shaking in excitement. You looked at it for a moment before he stood up engulfing you in a hug, spinning you around in pure joy.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" You heard from behind you. Bucky set you down so you could turn around. And the whole team was there, clapping and jumping up and down. Nat and Wanda ran up to you immediately hugging you and staring at the rock on your finger.
"Wait so you all lied to me about your plans?!" You questioned laughing, as the puzzle pieces fell together. "For a good reason!" Sam joked walking up to you and hugging you. The men all walked up to Bucky, patting him on the back in congratulations.
The rest of the night was spent celebrating with your family out on the roof. Tony had catered some food and even got a DJ of course. You were still shocked by what happened and weren't sure if you fully processed it.
"I'm gonna be your wife." You smiled up at Bucky. The two of you were leaning against the railing, his arms wrapped around your waist. "And I'm gonna be your husband... you sure you want that?" He winked making you laugh.
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life Barnes." He leaned down and placed a sweet kiss on your lips, the two of your practically smiling through the whole thing. "Glad to hear that Mrs. Barnes."
