A/N: Ok, this is the fluffy birthday oneshot for all y’all. I’m kind of in love with Bucky right now anyway so it’s perfect that lots of you guys wanted him! Sorry if this one sucks, I didn’t have much time to write it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
Tomorrow was Y/N’s birthday, one of the few people that Bucky felt comfortable with. When you first met Bucky, he was scared and alone; but you managed to help him out of his shell. One thing many people did not know about James Buchanan Barnes was that he liked to ask a LOT of questions.
As surprising as it may be, once Bucky felt comfortable with a person, he would never shut up. One of the first questions he asked was when your birthday was. You were slightly taken aback by the sudden question but you happily obliged, telling him the date.
And Bucky remembered that date, along with every other detail about you. Thing was, James was falling in love with you, he just didn’t know it yet.
But the other Avengers could tell. One piece at a time, they put Bucky’s actions together like a puzzle, finally realizing what the end result was: Bucky Barnes was in love with you.
Each of them picked up little hints; like the way Bucky would let you touch his metal arm, or the way he would touch you softly on your shoulder when you had conversations.
Steve found out first. From the way Bucky would look at you in glances, lingering on your features for just a second too long. From the way Bucky would look at you like you were the most important person in the world. Steve knew because that’s how he used to look at Peggy.
Bucky zoomed down the hall, nearly knocking over Clint on his way to the kitchen.
“Hey!” Clint protested, using the wall to steady himself.
Bucky ignored the archer as he sat down at the kitchen table with a notebook in hand.
“Whatcha got there, Buck?” Steve asked, peering over James’s shoulder to look at the paper in his best friend’s hands. The other Avengers gathered around, eager to see what the Winter Soldier was so excited about.
“It’s birthday plans for Y/N,” he said, looking up when no one made a sound. "Today’s her birthday.“
Clint rubbed his neck and stretched. "Hate to break it to ya’ kid, but Y/N doesn’t really do birthdays. Heck, I don’t know if she even remembers what day it is.”
“Really?” asked Bucky, hoping the disappointment wasn’t evident on his face.
"Well, I guess it’ll be even more of a surprise than it’s supposed to be.“
Bucky had everything planned out. He had already ordered your favorite food from a catering place across town, and he’d already bought you a perfect gift. The only thing he had left to do was get the decorations set up.
The night was beautiful and the Avengers tower never looked better.
Y/N’s favorite color was the theme of the night, only to be illuminated by bright yet small lights that Bucky had strung from the ceiling. The team had helped out Bucky immensely the whole day.
Without the other Avengers, James probably couldn’t have made it this magnificent. Natasha even picked out a dress that matched the theme of the party.
Bucky prayed that this was going to be a night you wouldn’t forget, even if you didn’t celebrate your birthday often.
The time had almost arrived as you had been training with Wanda the whole day. Her job was to distract you until 8pm, when the party began.
Bucky waited anxiously, hoping to confess something he’d wanted to tell you for a while now.
“Wanda! Why do I even need to get dressed up? Tony told me we’re just going out for dinner, nothing too fancy.” you said, protesting as Wanda put a diamond earring in each of your ears.
“I’m getting dressed up, too. Tony says we’re uh, um.. meeting with somebody.” Wanda stalled, looking for a way out of this conversation.
You looked beautiful. Your F/C dress hung loosely at your legs and tightened around your back, accenting your hips and waist.
“I think we’re ready, let’s head to the tower now.” Wanda said, offering you a hand from the chair you were seated at.
“Tower? I thought we were eating somewhere.” you asked, looking at the Maximoff with suspicion.
“Ah, yes. But, um the person we’re meeting with wants to eat at the tower.” she said, covering up her mishap.
“Ok, let’s go then. Man, I really hate heels.” you said, grimacing as you already began to feel a blister settle in.
Bucky waited quietly near the door, pulling nervously on the inside of his collar. Y/N was going to walk through that door any moment now. No one was hiding, everyone figured that’d be too cliche. So instead everyone waited quietly for the moment that had yet to come.
There was the ding of the elevator door and Wanda and Y/N stepped out.
“Surprise!"
Y/N stood there in awe until she broke out into a grin. "You guys remembered?”
“Actually. It was all terminator over here.” Tony said, as he clapped Bucky on the shoulder.
“Aw, Buck.” you said as you grabbed him in your outstretched arms and held him tightly for a hug.
The rest of the night continued smoothly with a few adult party games here and there. Until Tony brought out the Tequila, everyone was doing fine. But after 1am, things got a little rough.
You and Bucky found your way in the corner of the room, away from all the action on the dance floor.
“I wanted to thank you,” you said, stepping closer to Bucky. "Usually, I don’t celebrate my birthday, but this party meant a lot to me.
Bucky gave you a genuine smile as he began to pull out the jewelry box fro his suit pocket. "I wanted to give you something.“
You gasped as Bucky opened the dainty box to reveal a silver necklace with a mesmerizing crystal at the bottom of it.
"Oh, Bucky,” you murmured, not taking your eyes off of the necklace. “It’s beautiful.”
You looked up at him and he spoke once again, “Now you know what it’s like every time I look at you.”
You looked up into his blue eyes and pulled him in tightly for a kiss. It was a gentle one, one that you simply melted into. You stood there for a moment, swaying slightly to the music. Bucky slid his metal arm onto your waist as you pulled back, a slight tingling sensation still on your lips.
“This is a night I will never forget.”
