For a while now, you had been feeling uncomfortable in your clothes. Everything you put on felt tight or twisted up in all the wrong places but ever since you started stealing Bucky’s jacket, those things didn’t matter. Whenever you were wearing it, you felt so much better. The warmth you felt didn’t just come from the garment itself but whenever Bucky caught you in it. Feeling his eyes on you made you feel confident, beautiful and loved. Bucky told you how much he adored seeing you in it and how gorgeous he thought you were. You loved that man so much.
…
You were in the kitchen wearing Bucky’s jacket, grabbing yourself a snack.
“Don’t you think it’s time you gave your poor boyfriend his jacket back?” Nat mused from behind you.
“Nope. Mine now,” you grinned. “Besides, it’s the only thing that fits me nowadays…”
“If you want, I can take you shopping,” Nat offered.
“Thanks, Nat, but I think I’ll pass,” you sighed, sitting down to eat.
“Everything alright?” Nat asked, picking up on something in your voice.
“I don’t really like clothes shopping. The last time I went, I nearly got stuck in something and almost burst into tears in the dressing room… The salespeople always make me feel so insecure and forget about buying pretty underwear. They all seem to think that if you’re beyond a certain size, you don’t deserve anything outside of plain white, black or beige…”
Bucky heard your every word. It hurt him to think that you felt this way. He wished that he could take every flaw you saw in yourself and turn them into how he saw you.
“You know, Nat… Whenever I wear Bucky’s jacket, all of that goes away. It smells like him and it feels like he’s hugging me… Whenever he looks at me in his jacket, it makes me feel… like I’m the only woman in the world that matters to him. Some days, I can’t believe that Adonis chose me…”
Bucky walked up behind you and kissed the top of your head.
“Hi, beautiful,” he smiled, pecking your lips.
“Hi, handsome. We were just talking about you.”
“Really? Nothing bad I hope,” he smirked, like he hadn’t just been listening in.
“I was just telling Nat how lucky I am to have a boyfriend like you.”
Bucky kissed you deeply, sending butterflies to the pit of your stomach. It was one of those kisses that took your breath away and made you glad to be a woman... specifically Bucky’s woman.
“Have I told you how gorgeous you look in my jacket?” he panted when he pulled away.
“Not today,” you purred.
“Well let’s fix that…”
Bucky kissed you again, pulling you close to his body.
“Guys, this is a kitchen. People eat here,” Nat teased.
You felt the heat rush to your face as you pulled away.
“I have to go shopping with Sam but I’ll see you later, okay?”
“Okay, baby,” you smiled, giving another peck on the lips.
Bucky smiled back and headed off.
…
After an hour of going store to store with Sam, Bucky was starting to feel tired and grumpy. Sam wanted to find the perfect gift for his nephew’s birthday while also staying within his sister’s restrictions. Finally, they found something for the boy but as they were about to go home, one store in particular caught Bucky’s eye… a lingerie store specific to plus size women.
“I’m need to get something. I’ll catch up with you soon…”
“Okay, man. I’m going to get something to eat at the food court,” Sam shrugged, heading off.
Bucky nodded and waited for him to go out of eyesight before going into the shop. Inside, there was so much to look at. Bra, underwear and other frilly intimates made from lace, satin and cotton. They came in a variety of colours from sinful sangria to a more subdued soft cotton candy.
“Hello, how may I help you?” the saleswoman greeted.
“Hi. Um… I’m looking for something for my girlfriend. She’s been feeling pretty down about herself lately and I just wanted to get her something to make her feel pretty… I mean, to me she’s a total goddess but I just… I want to get her something to help her see that…"
The saleswoman smiled warmly at him.
“I can help you pick something. Follow me…”
Bucky told her your sizes and she assisted him in getting you something that was as stunning as you were.
…
When Bucky came home, he found you still in his jacket watching a movie on the couch.
“Hey, doll,” he smiled, sitting next to you on the couch.
“Hi, handsome. How was shopping?” you asked, instantly curling up to him.
“It was alright. I got you a little something…”
“You did?”
Bucky gave you the fancy bag which was stuffed with cream tissue paper. Curios, you sifted through to find the contents. You pulled out the three sets Bucky had bought. The first was a lovely babydoll with bows, lace and matching underwear in your favourite colour. The second was a silky nightie that could be worn with the underwear from the babydoll set. The third was a practical set that was still pretty while suiting your skin-tone. It also matched with Bucky’s jacket.
“Bucky, why did you get these for me? I mean, they’re beautiful but…”
You trailed off, feeling those insecurities take hold of you again.
“Like you. Y/N, I think you’re the most beautiful woman in the world, especially when you’re wearing my jacket but I wanted to get you something that made you feel that way… If you’re really not comfortable, I can take them back…”
You looked at the items Bucky had bought. He really must have put a lot of thought about this and it made you smile.
“I love them, Bucky. How about I give you a little fashion show?” you purred.
“I like the sound of that,” he smirked.
…
Bucky waited on the outside of your door as you put on one of the new things he bought. You decided on just the ordinary set, putting on the jacket. It kind of felt like a suit of armour but as you looked at yourself in the mirror, you felt like you maybe didn’t need it in that sense. The set felt comfortably and you felt, well… hot. All those little things that normally bothered you didn’t seem so bad because you were wearing something of the man you loved and something that he picked out just for you.
“How are you doing in there, doll?” Bucky asked from the other side of the door.
“You can come in now,” you chimed.
When Bucky walked in, his jaw dropped.
“What do you think?” you giggled, giving a twirl.
“Venus herself would be jealous… I knew I’d love it but the jacket really puts it above and beyond…”
You really, truly believed his words.
“How about I show you the others?”
“You can… after I’m done enjoying this one.”
You laughed as Bucky pounced on you, holding you close. As long as you had Bucky and his jacket, you felt like the most beautiful woman in the world. You couldn’t wait to go shopping with him next time.
