Summary: You’re prone to being jealous no matter who looks at Bucky. You have every right to be especially since you can hear people’s thoughts about it. It doesn’t matter if they’re 16 or 60, Bucky is yours and only yours.
Squares Filled: snowed in (2021) for @buckybarnesbingo

When you signed up to become an Avenger, you didn't know babysitting was going to be a requirement. You’re Tony’s younger sister who overcame experimenting when you both got captured by Obadiah Stane to build weapons. You were kept away from your older brother, and they turned you into something that you didn’t want to be. They gave you some serum they wanted to test out, and it ended up changing your entire life.
Ever since that, you have been able to hear other people’s thoughts. You fought better, and you were able to heal yourself if you got hurt. You can’t heal big injuries like a loss of a limb or if your head got cut off. But for most injuries, you’re able to heal with proper rest. Tony didn’t want you fighting alongside him since he had the suit, but you’ve proved yourself to be worthy plenty of times.
In the beginning, you couldn’t control whose thoughts you heard, when you heard them, or at how loud you could hear them. Over time, you got used to controlling them. Now, you can hear them when you want, how often you want, and however loud you want them to be. It got lonely after a while because no one understood what it meant to have voices in your head.
Until you met Bucky.
You two immediately hit it off, and a year later, you two started dating. Love is messy, but you two make it work. The one thing that bugs you is the constant comments you hear about Bucky. He was a ladies man in the 40s, and he’s a ladies man even more now. He got a haircut and suddenly, he became an Avenger bachelor. They don’t say anything to you when they see you two out in public, but you hear everything they want to say to him.
It pisses you off.
Bucky knows how jealous you can get, but you’ve always been this way. Bucky is yours, and you need to prove it to everyone who questions it. You’re Tony’s sister, you get your possessiveness from him. When you hear random women comment on how beautiful Bucky is or how well he might do in bed based on his looks, you can easily fight them. The worst thing is when teenage girls fawn over your boyfriend. You’d fight them if they weren't kids.
You and Bucky have to pick up Tony’s new prodigy from school because the last time Peter went out on his own, he fought a man in a mechanical bird costume. He clearly needs supervision, and Tony thought what better two people to pick him up than you and Bucky. You have other things you’d rather be doing, but you’d do anything for your brother.
“Why are we doing this, again?” Bucky asks.
You’re both in your Avengers outfits, drawing unwanted attention.
“My big brother wanted us to pick up Peter from school.”
“Right, why did you say yes?”
“Because he’s snowed-in up north and can’t do it himself, and he’s saved my ass more times than I can count. I owe him a favor or two. Plus, you’re my boyfriend and you’ll do anything I ask of you,” you grin.
You look at the crowd of teenagers gathering in the front of the school where there are parents picking up their kids. You see Peter hanging with his group of friends along with a few people who he doesn’t like. You’ve heard about Flash and how much Peter hates him, but his friends are friends with Flash which is why he’s there.
Peter senses you and Bucku coming his way, so he looks over and waves at you. His friends see who he’s waving at, and this is when the thoughts start.
He’s so hot. How have I never noticed how hot he is?
Who is walking with Y/N? He looks delicious.
He could be the fling I’ve read about in books.
Hearing these useless teenagers say these things about your boyfriend is pissing you off. Before you can get too far, you stop Bucky and turn him to you, pulling him in close.
“What are you doing?”
“Showing them that you’re mine.”
You pull him down and kiss him, raking your fingers through his hair. He is a sucker for your fingernails, and he momentarily forgets that he’s at a school with children and not in the bedroom. You slide your tongue into his mouth, but as soon as he feels you, he pulls away.
“They’re children, Y/N,” Bucky chuckles.
“So? This will show them to keep their paws off you.”
“I love you, you know that.”
“I know,” you grin. “Come on, let's pick Peter up quickly so I can take you back to my place.”
“Who is that?” Liz asks Peter.
She looks away as soon as she sees you kiss him.
“Bucky Barnes. Y/N’s boyfriend.”
“Who is Y/N?” Flash grins.
“You don’t want to do that, Flash. That’s Y/N Stark. Her temper is worse than her brother’s.”
“He’s right,” you say and walk up to the group of teenagers. “Come on, Peter. Your babysitters are here.”
“I don’t need you guys to walk me home.”
“Yes, you do. Last time you were off your leash, you almost got yourself killed.”
Peter sighs and picks up his backpack, slinging it over his shoulder. He says goodbye to his friends and walks with you back to the car. You love being an Avenger, but little tasks like this with Bucky are what brings a smile to your face. Knowing that you have the ability to be normal, and actually doing it is what makes life worth it.
