Warnings: None really. Y/N being a little insecure, but a whole lot of supportive/sweet Tony, Steve, and Bucky 🙂
A/N: As always, I’m grateful @butterbeertoasts took some time to look this over and give feedback. I went rogue after and changed some things, so all mistakes are mine.
Walking hand and hand with Bucky, you left the
gym floor and took the elevator up. When you got to your floor, you found Nat casually
leaning against one wall.
“Whatever it is– no.” Bucky tried to walk right
passed her, but she stepped in front of him and crossed her arms, undaunted by
his reaction.
“Sorry, Barnes. Maria needs us to train with the
recruits today– Fury’s orders. Besides, Y/N is probably dying to have a break
from you.” She shot you a wink.
Bucky set his jaw, kneading your fingers in his
as he tried to formulate an argument. The team had been generously
accommodating with how much time the two of you spent together. You knew
several of them had taken extra training groups and small missions so Bucky
didn’t have to. You also knew he couldn’t sit out forever.
Masking your disappointment, you nudged him
playfully with your elbow and smiled. “She’s right you know. You’re kind of a
bed hog and I’ve been daydreaming about what it would be like to have a bed all
to myself.”
That stirred a small laugh from him. “Ouch. And
here I thought you liked having me around.”
“That’s…irrelevant,” you smiled. “It’s only fair
of me to share. I could probably use a nap after that surprise exercise with
Peter and Wanda anyway.”
“Sure you’ll be okay? Do you need–”
“C’mon, Barnes. She’s a strong, independent
woman. How many times has she shown everyone she can hold her own?” Nat cut in.
“I think she can handle walking the rest of the way down the hall.”
“Excuse me for being a little anxious, but last
time I left her to go do something she was kidnapped and tortured by HYDRA.”
Despite the truth in his words, you were glad he seemed to relax and settle
into his usual banter with Nat.
You raised your free hand and rolled your eyes.
“I promise not to leave the premises and I’ll check in with someone as soon as
I’m done with my nap. Scout’s honor. Feel better?”
“Nope.” He smiled softly and your heart swelled in
response. He’d been so serious and cautious since you’d been back that it was
rare to see him smile. You made a mental note to draw them out of him more
often.
Bucky pulled you into his side and kissed your
temple, lips lingering longer than usual. It had become a natural and automatic
habit of his, and you were slightly embarrassed at how much the sweet gesture
affected you. Giving you one last apologetic look, he turned and followed Nat
back to the elevator.
A/N: This doesn’t have the smut y’all were probably hoping for, but dang it– Professor Winchester is a handsome, respectable, intelligent man and I thought it would be a disservice to him if he just jumped into the sack with a student right off the bat. Y’all can blame/thank @ericaprice2008 for this. I posted some time ago that I had several big assignments due, but all I wanted to do was write smut. She said, “Just don’t confuse the two. That could get awkward hella quick.” GUESS WHAT IDEA I RAN WITH. Also, @whimsicalrobots messaged me the day I had a run in with my professor and said “So how’s your day going? See any professors you want to run any ideas by?” Y’all probably don’t remember those moments because this series has taken months to get going, but I thank you again for the inspiration!
By class Wednesday, Charlie was really starting to drive you up the wall. She hadn’t let your dream go for a second and she promised she wouldn’t give it a rest until you divulged every single detail. You’d purposely arrived late to class to have a few extra moments of peace, but you were sure she’d set into you again as soon as class was done.
Professor Winchester had settled into a lecture about the Transcontinental Railroad and its role in the growth of cities when Charlie decided she wasn’t about to wait until the end of class.
“So how’s your day going?” she whispered. “See any professors you want to run any ideas by?”
You ignored her and began taking notes. Since you still couldn’t get yourself to look at him and Charlie was trying to get a rise out of you, you fixed your eyes on your notebook and refused to let them wander.
“You can’t go all class without looking at him,” she continued in a hushed tone. “I know how much you love it when he wears darker colors.” You finally looked up to glare her, but all she did was grin.
Professor Winchester cleared his throat loudly and you snapped your attention to the front of the room in embarrassment–immediately forgetting that you’d been determined not to look at him.
Penny woke up warm and rested. Her body was soft, lax, and she felt better than she had in months. When the quiet snore came from the chest beneath her ear, she smiled. It wasn’t the first time she’d cuddle up on Steve, but when she lifted her head, it wasn’t her clean shaven blond brother whose body she’d been resting against, but a scruffy-faced brunette.
The night before came flooding back and caused her heart to kick once hard before she closed her eyes and fought down the wave of angry nausea. The attack, Marcus, what she’d revealed to Bucky, all of it made her feel weak and tired, two things she couldn’t afford right now.
“Hey, dollface.”
She opened her eyes to peer at Bucky, a smile curling his lips.
His fingers lightly stroked the length of her spine. “Sorry about crashing on your bed. Must have dozed off.”
“It’s fine, Buck. I slept better last night than I have in a while,” Penny murmured, pushing off his chest to sit up, finding she’d wrapped her leg over his thigh in the night and it was trapped now between them. It was a rather embarrassing position to be in considering she was practically straddling his leg, but when she made to pull away, he flexed his knees. “James?”
“It’s too early to be up,” he said softly, pressing against her spine to make her sink back against him. “Go back to sleep for a while.”

‘Under Gothic romance are these polarizing forces of sex and death. But all of us always make choices that are impelled by our sexuality, and often put us in situations where we’re in extreme danger. I realised that that scene in Crimson Peak is a huge and profound part of the story. And actually that’s where the love story begins, and it comes out of a sexuality, so I was kind of okay with that.’ ~ Tom Hiddleston
Chapter Summary: So much had happened in the last few days. You got engaged, you were surprised by your wonderful fiancee with a surprise engagement party, and life was pretty good. You were ready for another big step, and not ready for the next step in the criminal investigation into your abduction. Life isn’t always a fantasy, even when you’re engaged to Captain America.
Chapter Notes: Thank you all so much for your kind words and feedback. It really means so much to me, and I love knowing that my little story has made some folks happy or wistful in their day to day lives. As always, @MsEnglish101 is the absolute best beta ever – oh, and a cheerleader for this novice writer. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
Pairing: Steve Rogers x Plus-Size OFC
Word Count: 4800
Warnings: Fluff, family and relationship drama, (trigger warning) healing after a trauma, some pretty strong angst, and explicit sexual content that is NSFW 18+. SERIOUSLY.
The day after your surprise engagement party, your head was a bit foggy, but you were crystal-clear aware of how lucky you were to have so many people care about your happiness. Even though Hallmark would have been proud of your sappiness, your level of desire for your fiance, lying next to you, was definitely not appropriate for a greeting card. You loved waking up next to Steve, it made your entire day better. You knew he’d been wanting that, too, for a long time.
