There were times where your time at work got hard, tiring and sometimes made you want to quit and disappear from the face of Earth.

The people, your clients and boss and co-workers, sometimes pushed you too much, too hard and said so many offending things to you because one shipment was late or a date was mixed that you wanted to set yourself on fire along with the building.

Those kinds of days always left you drained, in a bad mood and exhausted.

It was one them days.

You were achy, cranky and drained as usual. All you wanted to do was get something warm to drink, rest a little before going home and start preparing yourself a meal for the sake of uninterrupted sleep during the night.

What you didn’t expect was, though, the coffee shop being crowded as fuck when you stepped in after the day you had.

You froze momentarily at the door, looking around frantically and trying to remember if you were at the right place. Then, you saw Wanda taking orders, barking at some because they were delaying the lien, and Pietro who was preparing orders at a rapid pace and calling out names.

You had half the mind to walk back out, but your legs were about to give up from all the running around you’ve made, so you walked inside towards a corner table. You dropped your bag and coat on the empty chair and sat down, waiting for the line the die down a bit before you could brave it.

It took twenty minutes for the initial crowd to die down, but when you went to get in the line, it only had three people in front of you.

And the guy in front of you looked scarily familiar from the back.

You frowned as you leaned forward a little to see his face, but you saw something else before that.

A small knitted pumpkin symbol at the bottom of a white sweater.

You grinned.

The line moved in the meantime, and it was his turn to order. You heard him asking for a grande cappuccino and a smallest cake on the display.

“For the beat-up looking person behind me,” he added. You blinked. He was talking about you.

“Excuse you,” you grumbled. Bucky chuckled and sent you a look over his shoulder before paying for his order. He left to grab his coffee, and you stepped forward, ordering an Americano. Wanda sent you a dirty look for the order, but you could care less. You paid for your coffee, moved aside to get your cup from Pietro and blinked at the cake. Huffing a thank you to Pietro, you walked towards Bucky with a tray in your hand, your coffee and cake sitting innocently next to each other.

“I will only eat it if you share it with me,” you told him, placing the tray on the empty table before him. Bucky blinked before he smiled.

“If that’s what you want,” he said. “As long as we stop meeting with your dead on your feet and me all energetic.” You rolled your eyes at his words and cut the chocolate cake into half with the knife.

“Yeah, good luck with that,” you grumbled. Your cranky self was showing, and honestly you didn’t want him to see that part of you, so you tried to surpass it. After you had a couple sips of that heavenly coffee and some sugar, you were going to feel better you knew that. Hell, you were counting on that. Otherwise, Bucky was in for one hell of a ride.

“Couldn’t sleep last night?” He asked. You shrugged, stabbing your cake with your fork. Bucky frowned.

“Another shitty day at work where it makes me think of quitting,” you grumbled after swallowing your food and took a sip of your coffee to wash it down. Bucky hummed as he popped a small bite into his mouth and chewed it thoughtfully. His bright blue eyes were watching you─ you could feel them burning a hole on your skin─ but you tried not to care. Your focus was solely on your coffee and sugar.

Bucky hummed once again before standing up and disappearing for a short while. You frowned. Swallowing the cake in your mouth, you lifted your head. Without giving you a time to figure out what he was doing, he came back with a small flower bouquet in his hand.

Daffodils.

You looked at him.

“I always see you looking at them before you walk into the shop,” he explained. “You smile every time you see them, too.” Shrugging, he sent you a soft smile. “Figured you love them.”

You did.

Daffodils were your favorite.

“Bucky─” You whispered. His breath hitched lightly, and he cleared his throat.

“I loved the sweater,” he said. “It’s very soft. As soft as the messed up one. You have a good eye about the sizing. It fits perfectly.” He showed off his arms and his adorable sweater paws to you. Then, he chuckled and added, “I loved the pumpkin symbol, by the way.” You snorted lightly before giggling.

“Figured you would,” you said. “You love everything that has pumpkin in it.” He hummed, nodding.

“Yeah, I do,” he admitted. “Ma hates me for it.” You smiled.

“She’s not a fan of pumpkin?” You asked. He shook his head.

“Can’t stand it, actually,” he said and shrugged. “I love teasing her with it.” You chuckled.

“You’re mean,” you concluded and made him grin.

“Nah, she’s just very easy to tease with.”

Smiling, you finished your coffee while thinking about how fondly and softly he talked about his mother. It was obvious that he loved her very much, and it made you feel all warm. You kind of wanted to snuggle up to him. Just as he opened his mouth, your phone went off. You huffed and dug your hand into your bag to retrieve your phone. It was your mother, asking you what time you were going to be home. You sighed.

“I have to go,” you murmured. When you stood up, Bucky stood up with you. You put on your coat and grabbed your bag; on one hand you had your phone and on the other it was flowers Bucky gave you. Standing up on your tiptoes, you kissed his cheek. “Thank you for the sugar and flowers,” you whispered.

He smiled widely and grabbed your wrist gently when you made a move to walk past him. He leaned forward and kissed your cheek. “Thank you for the sweater. It’s my new favorite.” You looked at each other after he pulled back. It was very easy to get lost in his eyes; those ocean blues making you feel safe and cared for.

“You’re welcome,” you whispered again and looked at his lips for a split second. Pulling back, you smiled at him and walked away. Your heart was beating in your mouth, palms sweaty and a stupid smile on your lips.

This was another threshold, you thought. Feels good to cross it.
