@iomadachd in response to ice cream
                                "NOW, NOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN EYES BIGGER THAN YOUR BELLY TYPE OF SITUATION," Steve says good-naturedly. Even he is sweating a little, which has to say something: usually, the super-soldier needs a bit more than a SHIELD training exercise to feel exhausted. It's a bit different when you're training with mutants, apparently. "But alright, let's grab some ice cream, my treat. Not the ice cream in the SHIELD mess hall, though. For starters, they don't have strawberry flavor. And the last time I ate some of the chocolate one, it had freezer burn. And if you make any joke about how I got freezer burn, too, I will make you run this whole obstacle course again."

Movie Night- Bucky Barnes
Paring- female reader x Bucky
warnings: slight smut, none
!Also posted on Wattpad under the same username!
You were rather new to the Avengers, but still familiar with most of them. You and Bucky weren't ever enemies but it was noted that you guys didn't talk to each other much and you never hung out alone, only in groups. I mean sure you thought he was kinda cute but Bucky didn't seem to be the one to open up, in fact for you, he even seemed to lack a personality when around.
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
It was a pretty average day so far, you haven't done anything really, just some coffee in the morning with Steve and then hanging out in your room with Wanda. Steve asked you to tell Bucky there was going to be movie night, and being a good friend naturally, you agreed to do it. So that's where you were headed now
You stopped at Bucky's door and knocked but didn't hear anything. You knocked again but didn't hear anything so you called out to him-
"Bucky I'm coming in" -and opened the door. Big mistake. Inside you looked around before your eyes finally landed on Bucky, well- the back of Bucky: headphones in wearing only a towel on his lower waist. It was obvious he was fresh out of the shower because his body was dripping water and- was he always this toned? You feel like he wasn't. That's definitely new. Yeah.
He turned around and you got a good look at his v-line before your eye's shot up to meet his, his eyes wide and shining with a bit of amusement.
"Can I help you?" He took his headphones out staring at you intently, you stood there spacing out for a minute before his question finally registered
"Ahhhh, sorry I knocked on the door and yelled your name but you didn't answer so I just opened the door- and I mean, I warned you I was coming in so it's kind of your fault a little bit, you really shouldn't leave your door unlocked if you're going to have your headphones on fresh out of the shower. Also who puts their headphones on right after their shower I mean-" you cut yourself off as you heard him chuckle " I'm sorry i-"
"You don't need to apologize Y/n you're right, it is my fault" he reassured
"No I could have texted you or something- and I'm totally still being invasive oh my gosh I'm so sorry" you covered your eyes with your hands "I can go- I'm sorry, I'll just go-" you started walking backwards towards the direction of the door
"Y/n!-" Bucky shouted as you tripped over something, your hands flew out to grab onto something but nothing was there, you closed your eyes in anticipation for the pain but none came. You opened your eyes to find that Bucky had caught you, eyes still annoyingly amused but with a bit of worry behind them. Since when has he been worried about you?
He smiled as he looked and you and you knew something was up, you rolled your eyes "what's going on in that head of yours Buck?"
"Did you just... fall for me?" You groaned at the horrible pick up line as he began to adjust you on your feet
"Very funny Bucky, you know you're almo- oh OH! Oh my God you have- just- uh-" Your hands flew back up to cover your eyes as Bucky went to retrieve his towel which had fallen off during your rescue
"Shit, sorry Y/n, didn't mean for you to see me like that yet"
Your eyebrows furrowed "I'm sorry?"
"So uh- what brought you to my room in the first place?"
"Right um- ....oh! Steve wanted me to let you know that we're doing a movie night, which now it just feels like he could've just texted you and we could have saved all this trouble- not that you're trouble it's just that this has been really embarrassing and-... I'm going to see myself out bye" You slowly removed your hands from your face to see Bucky staring at you, eyebrows raised.
You turned around and awkwardly walked to his door to exit before you shut the door behind you- you heard Bucky call out "bye Y/n " and then you booked it to your room where you could die of embarrassment and maybe take a hot shower.
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
You didn't dare look in the mirror at how red you were, you knew you were blushing. You didn't want to be blushing, it was just your body's natural reaction to looking at an attractive man- which Bucky was.
It was ok to admit that, he's just generally attractive, everyone finds him attractive, it's normal! You didn't have a crush on him or anything. You Didn't like Bucky like that, every time he comes into the room and barely says a word to you? Oh, yeah, that.
Well if you did have even the slightest tiniest crush on him it was gone now because any hope of him liking you back drained with the fact that he barely even hung out with you in the first place. Fuck. How were you supposed to face him at the movie night tonight? Maybe you shouldn't go....
It was at this very convenient time during your mid-life crisis that your best friend Wanda bursts in with snacks, scrunchies, and matching pj's.
"(Y/n)! I got stuff for the movie night!" Great. Now you can't back out, now there are snacks involved. "(Y/n)? Why are you so red? Are you ok? What happened?" Ugggggh
" I'm fine Wanda I just-". Your rosy red color comes back to your cheeks as you remember Bucky's body in the towel. "-Saw something I shouldn't have..." you tried to be as vague as possible
"If you don't want to talk about it right now that's fine because we have to get ready for the movie night. You will tell me about this later though Y/n" She demanded
You were grateful that Wanda didn't ask any more questions, Instead, she put on something random on the Tv while you two got ready for the night. You changed into your pair of matching pj's and put your hair into a ponytail before you're ready to go. You see Wanda grabbing the snacks and you two head out of your room to the living room.
Pretty much everyone was there except for Bucky and Steve. You didn't really care, you were excited to watch movies with all of your friends, except maybe you cared a little bit. You and Wanda take your seats on the bean bags, snacks settled nicely between you two, when everyone begins arguing on which movie to watch first, Bucky and Steve walk in. Bucky is (thankfully) now dressed in sweats and a hoodie, but you still find yourself stealing glances at him.
The team decides on Aladdin and everyone settles in.
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
You were about 3 movies in and you couldn't help but notice Bucky stealing a few glances at you throughout all 3. You weren't too tired but the light pink tint on you're cheeks decided maybe it was time to retire. You say goodnight to Wanda and the team and head to your room.
You were in the hallway when Bucky approached you. "Hey Y/n, sorry if I made you uncomfortable earlier" You were surprised, to say the least, you hadn't expected him to apologize.
" You don't need to apologize Bucky, and you didn't make me uncomfortable" you smile
" So how long had you been there before I turned around" you couldn't help but notice the small smirk on his lips
" not long, like 30 seconds really," you say nonchalantly, glancing around for a way to escape " listen Bucky I'd love to talk but I'm kinda tired so.... goodnight"
"Oh- yeah night Y/n"
you throw him a sympathetic smile before you speed walk back to your room
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
You woke up and looked at the clock: 3:30 am. Great. You decided maybe you'd head to the kitchen and bake some cookies, it's what you do in your spare time. Plus who wouldn't want to wake up to fresh cookies?... Even if the only one's up this early were Steve and sometime's Tony pulled an all-nighter.
You exit your room and start walking through the hallways when you hear footsteps behind you, they're closer than they should be for you to only have noticed them now. You stop in your tracks as you realize it came from behind you. Maybe you should train with Natasha more often. Suddenly you're pushed against a hallway wall, trapped in between two large arms. Having closed your eyes from the impact, You open your eyes to see none other than Bucky, there's a certain relief that comes with knowing that it was just him, but also a certain tension. You glance down and notice that he's shirtless. Oh. well- it's not the first time you've seen him like this, ...but it is only the second.
He rests his head on your shoulder breathing heavy, warm breaths against your neck. You begin blushing, you had never seen this side of him before. (Then again you'd never really seen any side of him before). "Y/n" him calling your name snaps you out of your trance. His voice is low and husky, almost pained "Y/n...." this time his voice is a low whisper filled with need. It sends shivers down your spine. He lifts his head and You stare at him directly in his eyes, his pupils almost completely dilated.
"you're driving me crazy, Why can't I get you out of my head doll?". You blush at the nickname, he's never called you anything like that before. Suddenly feeling his hands on your waist, slowing driving up your shirt. "Buck" his eyes snap from his hands on your waist to your eyes. His breath is still heavy and warm.
Oddly enough you don't want this to end. His eyes stare into yours as he silently asks for consent, not moving an inch. You hesitate before slowly nodding your head. Your breath matches his as he closes the gap between you two, his lips now on yours moving in perfect sync. You love the way his lips feel and you melt into the kiss. He scoops your legs up from the ground and wraps them around his waist bringing you both to his room.
He begins taking off your shirt as he lays you down on his bed.
"Buck"
He stills, looking at you with concern
"It's not that I don't want to do this but we're not exactly close, we don't know anything about each other" Y/n reasoned, he sat down at the edge of the bed and Y/n sat up. "I know a lot about you, I know your favorite ice cream flavor, and that when you're upset you keep it to yourself because you don't want to bother anyone, and I know you and Nat pretend to not be best friends but sometimes you'll hang out in her room and talk for hours. I know you probably think I don't like you but the truth is when you walk into a room all I can do is stop and look at you because you light up the room when you walk into a room" You couldn't stop smiling at his words
"But I still don't know anything about you"
"I think you do, what's my favorite spot on the couch?"
"You like to sit all the way on the left, I think it's because you like leaning on the side" You assumed
"And what do I do every Friday?"
"Um- oh! You go out to that little cafe around the corner because Friday is when they serve chocolate croissants"
Bucky smiled "see you know so much about me already"
"Two things are not a lot"
"Yeah but even Steve doesn't know about stuff like that, you know because you pay attention to me the same way i pay attention to you. We might not talk a lot but we know more about each other than anyone else, you can't tell me you don't feel a connection between us"
" I do- but this is all happening too fast and I don't want this to be a one-time thing" Y/n confessed
"I would never force anything on you Y/n if you don't want to do anything we don't have to"
" stop, consent is so sexy you're pulling me in" You joked
"Ah well in that case" Bucky moved closer to you on the bed until he was hovering over you "can I kiss you?"
"Yes" Y/n breathed, and Bucky leaned in to capture your lips in a kiss. You close your eyes in anticipation. You expect to feel the soft touch of his lips against yours but nothing happens.
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
You open your eyes to the sun shining brightly through your blinds. In your own room with no Bucky insight. Oh. My. God. Did you just have a wet dream about Bucky?? technically it wasn't a wet dream since nothing really happened, just some kissing. You internally scream and check the clock, 8:00 AM. You can't help but feel slightly disappointed.
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
You walk to the kitchen to get some coffee and clear your mind but just your luck, Bucky and Steve are there. You go to turn around but Steve calls out to you. " Hey Y/n, I made you some coffee if you want it." You two often had coffee together in the mornings,
"Thanks, Steve," you say as you lug yourself over to the counter. Bucky eyes you the entire time.
" you missed it Y/n, we played truth or dare last night. It would've been more fun if you were there." Steve explained and Bucky smirked, " yeah Y/n, why'd you leave so early?" He questions. "I already told you last night Bucky, I was tired"
"wait you two saw each other last night?" Steve questions.
"No -well yes but I just ran into him on my way to my room" you take the coffee gulp it down and leave as fast as you can, not wanting further questioning.
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
You were hanging out with Wanda in her room but you could tell she could sense your uneasiness. As if she could read your mind (which she can but won't do without consent) she leaned over to talk to you "(Y/n) what's wrong?" she questioned.
"well... " despite the immense embarrassment, you decided you could trust her and told her the whole story starting from when you saw Bucky in only the towel.
Once you finished she gaped at you in awe " you've got it bad Y/n"
"what? No. I don't like him like that, it's just my brain reacting to seeing an attractive man. I mean, this stuff is in our human nature"
"oh no we will not do this denying our feelings thing it's not healthy"
"well good because there are no feelings to deny"
Wanda gave You a look "y/n you're telling me that you literally had a lucid dream about this man kissing you and you don't have feelings for him? You flirted with him in your dream what's different in real life?"
You fell silent "... he doesn't like me back in real life. In the dream it was obvious that he liked me but i don't think Bucky could possibly feel the same way"
"oh y/n, you're an amazing person, I'm sure he would love to date you"
"I don't know"
"well let's not focus on it then- did you see that new romance movie they came out with?"
"no"
"it is so bad i must show you" You two dropped the subject and continued with your day.
That is until Steve walked into the room "So Y/n, how do you feel about Bucky?"
"Why do you ask" you replied skeptically.
"Well because... I'm going to be honest, I think he's got a crush on you."
"Haha Steve, very funny"
"I'm serious Y/n, I think it's been going on for a while now, he's always talking about you but he's too nervous to approach you. I just want to know if you feel the same way so he doesn't get his heart broken chasing after you"
" I don't know Steve, I mean- sure I pay attention to him a lot, and lately I can't stop thinking about him, and I even had a dream about him-" you slapped your hands over your mouth at the last statement. You didn't mean to say it out loud, let alone to his best friend. Wanda just laughed, shaking her head at your confession. Steve just smirked and said "good to know" before walking away.
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
You were standing in your bedroom when you heard a knock. "Come in". Bucky opened your door and stood in your doorway. "So I heard some stuff from Steve," he said rather shyly. "Oh god, listen I'm sorry about the whole dream thing I don't know what-"
" dream?" Bucky questioned, " Steve didn't tell me anything about a dream" you blushed and hid your face behind a pillow. You felt the bed dip down signaling that he had sat down on it.
"Do tell me more doll" you blushed harder but didn't remove the pillow. He did though. He grabbed it and put it on the bed next to him. "Y/n," he said in almost a warning tone.
" It was nothing, nothing even happened"
" oh really."
" I mean stuff was about to happen but then I woke up"
" and what kind of stuff was about to happen Y/n" his voice vibrated when he said your name.
" I mean we just kissed and That's about it" you hugged your knees to your chest and hid your face in them. This was so embarrassing.
"Really," Bucky said.
"Yeah I mean, we just talked too but that's it"
Bucky's brows furrowed as he looked at you, something obviously stirring in that brain of his.
"Was this dream last night?"
"Yeah"
"And it- it started in the hallway right?" He questioned. You looked up at him curiously, how could he know that?
"Yeah..."
"That's the same dream I had last night, it felt so real I could've sworn-"
"Did we... did we just both lucid dream with each other?"
Bucky chuckled incredulously "I think so Y/n"
"So last when we were talking- in the dream- you actually said all of those things?" you were trying to be as careful about the subject as possible "and you- you meant them?"
Bucky smiled and walked closer to you so you two were less than a foot apart "of course i did Y/n. Did you mean what you said?"
"About what?"
"All of it"
"Yeah" You exhaled, "what does this mean for us? I don't know where to go from here" You admit
"We'll figure it out" He moved until your noses were inches apart, you stared into each other's eyes before he rested his forehead against yours. Smiling, he asked, "is consent still sexy or has the moment passed?"
You laughed lightly "no it's still very much sexy"
"Then can I kiss you?" He looked into your eyes with sincerity
"I'd love it if you would" You shivered as he moved his hand to the back of your head, pulling you forward and pressing your lips together in by far the best kiss you've ever had. You move your hands to the back of his hair, lightly scratching and giving it an experimental tug
He groaned and pulled away "Y/n" He complained
"Sorry" you laughed "couldn’t help myself" you playfully shrugged
"What about consent is sexy? What happened to that?"
" you're right, Bucky can I tug on your hair when you kiss me?" You smiled at him sweetly
He scoffed "this is not fair, you know I want to say no because you're driving me crazy but I want to say yes because I like the way it feels"
"Sounds like a personal problem" You joked, pulling away. Bucky quickly grabbed you by the waist, pulling you back to him.
"Alright fine, just try not to overdo it Doll or I might need a cold shower"
You smiled and pulled him down to you for another kiss, both of you smiling into it. Wanda is never gonna believe this!
🎥✨★💭★✨-🎥
In the next room over Wanda and Steve were snickering to themselves and clinking wine glasses "you think they're going wild in there?" Wanda asked
"I think I'd rather not think about that if I'm honest, but no- Bucky is a gentleman, they'll at least go on a date first"
"Good. God, I was so tired of them watching watch each other like stalkers"
"Trust me, nobody was more tired then me having to listen to 'Steve I don't know what to do', 'Steve today they did this and it was so cute' 'Steve this-', I love Bucky but most of the time I was there when y/n did those things"
Wanda laughed, taking a sip of her wine
"So how did you fuse their dreams like that?"
Wanda smirked "why? You got someone in mind?"
This is a one-shot I wrote years ago that I decided to rewrite so sorry if it's bad. I hope you liked this story!! Please comment what you thought

@iomadachd (Dean) liked the starter call (still accepting)
                          THE 1956 HARLEY PANHEAD IS A WORK OF BEAUTY. Steve knows he probably looks like an idiot standing in SHIELD'S underground garage and staring at a motorbike for several minutes, but he doesn't care. He just wants to appreciate a fine piece of machinery, okay, and also needs to get a grip on the sudden but fierce longing for his old Liberator that served him well during the war. The bang of a door being shut makes him look up, caught. A guy with sandy hair strolls over, a helmet in his hand, so he's probably the owner of the Harley. Steve feels a little foolish for being caught staring, but if someone understands his appreciation, it's probably this guy. "That's a really nice bike, man."

@chloevlinder liked for a starter (still accepting)
                              THE TESSERACT IS SUPPOSED TO BE OFF WORLD WITH THOR, and yet a handful of SHIELD scientists are peeing their pants because some data suggest similar readings to the blue cube somewhere in bumfuck nowhere, Wisconsin. Because it's likely Thor's asshole brother is up to no good again, Steve is sent up there to get a handle on things, if necessary, but for the last 17 hours, nothing happened around the vaguely shimmering air that the scientists call portal. Steve feels a bit cranky because his uniform isn't the most comfortable thing to wear for 17 hours straight, and he just had to deal with some feral chickens that survived on this abandoned farm and now deem this plot of land their own or something. He has scratches all over his face and some feathers stuck in his hair, and he's really glad when the scientists start to holler and gesture at the bluish-turning portal because he really wants to punch something in the face right now (preferably a gigantic chicken). What comes stumbling out of the portal, though, is not a chicken: Steve squints over the edge of his shield at the brunette lady that lands on the dry grass. "Uh, you okay over there, ma'am?" Maybe she's not a foe.

@iomadachd in response to kisses
                             STEVE DOESN'T KNOW IF THIS COUNTS AS A DATE, BUT IT CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE IT: They grabbed a bite to eat at a cozy Italian place, and then Steve walked Dean home through the park. Asking for a goodnight kiss seems like the logical thing to do, and Steve is glad when the mutant agrees. He steps closer, cradling Dean's cheek with one hand to tip his face up, and then leans in for a kiss – soft, tender, not a lot of tongue. "I had a nice evening," he says after pulling back.

@iomadachd in response to Nora wanting the real answer
                                 "SO YOU WANT THE REAL ANSWER, HU?" he repeats, angry. He doesn't lose his cool that often, but her relentless nagging grates on his nerves in an unpleasant way. "The real answer is that, yes, I would have loved to just die on that plane like any other normal person would have done. Not this whole waking up in the future bullshit. But good grief, that's nothing I can tell anyone, can I? Because then I'm the ungrateful asshole. Who doesn't want to live in the future? Look, we have fancy washing machines and the internet and supermarkets. Be grateful you're not living in the middle ages anymore! Why aren't you more grateful?"

                            "YOUR GRANDFATHER SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCELLENT MAN," Steve feels the need to point out. Anyone who doesn't pay the full price for anything is an excellent person, in his opinion. (Everyone, Steve included, should be grateful he hasn't found out about couponing yet; his heart shaped by the Great Depression would absolutely love it, and his bathroom cabinet would end up with 300 instead of 3 packages of toothbrushes.) 
                            "And I'm not very fond of online shopping. I want to touch the stuff I'm getting. Maybe it's an old person thing, but it does come in handy when you wanna buy things like wool for your knitting circle." Everyone makes fun of his age all the time –– Steve is now trying to make fun of it himself in hopes that it will get boring for everyone else. "I don't... have rules? I mean, make yourself at home, and if you need anything, just holler?" He looks bewildered. "I don't have to actually tell you to... not snoop through my underwear, right?"

                             STEVE PUFFS UP. "Maria, I don't want you nor need you to run background checks on guys I want to date," he tells her seriously. "I need to make my own experiences. If they're awful, well, then I'll find out sooner rather than later. And if they're nice, they don't need you to snoop through their financial records or browser history. Every guy is entitled to watch his porn in private without being judged for it." Besides, Steve is Captain America — he can take care of himself should one of the dudes decide to, like, stab him or something. And stuff like poison won't work, anyway. Whatever, he visibly perks up when Maria mentions the university course his charity date took during his college days. "Oh, that's great, we can talk about the latest exhibit at the MoMA. Wolfgang Tillman's to look without fear was spectacular; I had goosebumps the entire time I've been there."

                            I DON'T HATE IT is Maria Hill for I love it, at least in Steve's opinion. He stands there all smugly, arms crossed in front of his chest and watches her flip through the comic. The paper is not the best – just simple copy paper, really, and Steve only had graphite pencils in 2 different hardness degrees, but given these artistic hurdles, he thinks his work turned out more than okay. 
                          "Please don't," he says. "If you put it in the newsletter, I'll have a queue in front of my office of people that want a sketch. Believe me, it has happened before. I just wanted to make a kid happy, and then ended up drawing stuff in notebooks and on phone cases for an hour because somebody saw me doing this sketch for a 7-year-old girl." It's one thing to do some art because you want to, and another to get shouted at to please, please, please draw something on the back of a tablet leather case with a sharpie.
                             "This definitely didn't take longer than if I'd tried to use Word to type a report. Word is evil," Steve adds. "And I'm off to grab some dinner now. Wanna join me?"

@bastxrds ​​ ;; Troy starters (still accepting)
Tony said: “You should not have come here tonight.”
                             STEVE LOOKS AT THE EMPTY SCHNAPPS BOTTLE, the overturned tumbler, the ice bucket filled with mostly water by now. The harsh stench of alcohol and a human body digesting this alcohol reaches his nose, which Steve has a hard time not to wrinkle because of the smell. It's — not the sight he expected when visiting Avengers Tower. Usually, he's down in Washington D.C., but every now and then, the longing gets too much, and he has to come up here and look at the strange and yet familiar skyline of Brooklyn. It's quite handy to have an apartment in Stark's tower for these occasions, even if it's too much, too big, so Steve makes a point to at least do some socializing and talk to Tony when he's about to sleep here. Stark is right, though. Tonight seems to be a bad night for a visit. 
                          "Well, I'm here now," he says, which is a dumb and very obvious thing to say, but Steve is a bit put off by Tony's appearance and behavior, and it's the first thing that comes into his mind. He walks over and picks up the empty bottle and the overturned glass. "C'mon, it's probably better if you go to bed."

@gcroinya​ ;; nonverbal starters (still accepting) 57﹕ Natasha winks at Steve. (Wink wonk, Steve-io)
                           STEVE IS NOT MADE FOR UNDERCOVER WORK. He's too big, too well-known, too blunt. He doesn't mind one bit: He prefers to throw himself at problems he can punch in the face, anyway. Unfortunately, their subject (a weapons dealer they suspect of selling alien technology to warlords in the Middle East) is a huge Captain America fan, and SHIELD deemed it necessary to involve him as a distraction while Agent Romanoff does all the hard work and finds evidence against him. Steve hates the plan. He hates it even more that he needs to wear a tuxedo and eat little crackers with disgusting fish eggs while smiling at slimy, stinking rich people. At least the whiskey is good; Steve orders his fifth of the evening because he can't get drunk, anyway, but likes the burning taste in his mouth. A woman leans against the bar next to him, but he ignores her –– at least until he notices her winking at him, and then he does a subtle double-take. "Oh wow," he says under his breath, "I almost didn't recognize you. Is that a wig, or did you dye your hair?"

@peacereflected​ ;; morning after starters (still accepting) Keanu said: “This was probably a mistake.”
                           IT'S IDIOTIC, GIVEN WHAT THEY'D JUST BEEN UP TO, but Steve pulls the flimsy motel blanket up to his chest to cover himself. Then he looks around for his underwear. "Just for this, I ought to bring you in," he says, feeling a little — hurt, probably. Alright, sure, Keanu is still on SHIELD's wanted list, and maybe Steve is doing a really bad job as a STRIKE team leader here, but the guy hasn't done anything, you know, major villain thing or whatever, and Steve thinks SHIELD could clean up its mess itself for once instead of relying on a super-soldier. So, Reed is probably right, and getting each other off has been a mistake, but you don't have to say that out loud, right? It makes the guy you just jerked off feel like a fraud, thanks a lot.
