She sat on the bed of the small flat, drink in hand. She looked at the phone on the nightstand, trying to decide how she was going to make this call. With a sigh, she downed the drink and picked up the phone, and dialed the familiar number. “Hello?” She smiled, hearing the voice of her best friend, one she hadn’t heard in over 18 months. “Hey Sam, it's me.” She responded and held her breath waiting for the voice on the other side to respond. “Y/N?! OH MY GOD, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T BE CALLING ME! I mean, don’t get me wrong I’m so happy to hear your voice but yOUR PUTTING YOURSELF IN DANGER AND I DON’T WANT TIN CAN AFTER ME!” Y/N laughed as she tried to calm down her friend on the other end, “S- Sam, yes, hi ok. I finished the mission early, I’m coming home tomorrow.” “Oh shit look at you! Cutting 6 months off a mission, that’s badass!! How did Bucky respond?!” Sam asked eagerly, Y/N could almost see him sitting on his bed in the compound as he kicked his feet back and forth as he always did when he was on the phone. She chuckled nervously before responding. “See, I haven’t told him yet… I wanted to ask for your help. “ “Is everything ok between you two? I will P E R S O N A L L Y beat his ass.” Y/N smiled hearing the concern coming from her friend. “Yes, everything is fine. More than fine actually, I want to surprise him, but I know he has the day off tomorrow and will probably be pouting, so I need you to get him out of the compound so I can get home and sneak in.” Y/N chuckled as she heard Sam start laughing maniacally, “Oh, don’t you worry, pumpkin, I’ll make sure he is- HEY GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE STEVE! WHAT THE HELL! I COULDA BEEN NAKED!” Y/N snorted, “Ok, sounds like you have everything under control, I’ll leave you to it!”
After hanging up the phone, Sam stared at Steve with a rather cross expression. “We seriously gotta work on your knocking skills.” Sam grumbled as Steve just shrugged and walked in, taking a seat in his desk chair. “Well, I heard you laughing and wanted to know what was so funny.” Sam jumped off the bed and stalked over to the door, peeking into the hallway before shutting the door and locking it. He turned on his heel and caught Steve with an intense gaze, “Now look here, buddy, I’m not about to let this go to shit cause you can’t keep your goddamn super soldier mouth shut, so you gotta SWEAR that you ain’t gonna tell no one.” Sam growled, causing Steve to raise his hands in surrender, “Alright, alright, you got me, I swear.” Sam nodded with a huff before speaking, “Y/N is coming home tomorrow! So we have to get Bucky out of their room so she can sneak in and surprise him. Her idea, not mine.” Steve’s face lit up at the mention of her name and immediately agreed to help Sam, for the rest of the day, the pair schemed and by the early evening hours, they had a brilliant plan.
Bucky was sound asleep on his stomach, completely sprawled out when Steve came bursting through the door like a man on fire causing Bucky to startle awake. “Fuckin’ christ Steve, what the hell?” Bucky grumbled as Steve frantically paced around the room. “Buck, I’m so sorry to do this to you but I seriously need your help!” Bucky felt his heart rate pick up a bit, Steve never liked asking for help so if he was barging in to ask him for help, then it must be serious. “What is it?” Bucky asked as he pulled himself out of the tangled mess of sheets to search for clothing. He stopped in the middle of putting on his pants when Sam snorted and strolled into the room. “Spangles is just mad ‘cause I beat him on our run this morning.” Bucky groaned and flopped back onto the bed and shot Steve a cross look. “You mean to tell me that you woke me up, ‘cause bird brain beat you in a race?” Steve huffed, “...Maybe.” Bucky groaned and threw a pillow at his friend's head which missed by a mile. “Just fuck off Steve.” Steve shrugged, “Fine, I guess that means you don’t want to go to the new aerospace museum and breakfast.” This piqued Bucky’s interest, causing him to sit up. “Why the hell you going’ there, punk?” Steve shot Sam a dirty look, “We made a bet on the race, if he won I had to take him to breakfast and the museum. I dunno, just thought you might want to join. But if not, that’s fine. I’ll leave you to wallow alone.” Just as Steve and Sam started to leave, Bucky called after them, “Give me 15 minutes!”
Bucky groaned as Steve pulled Sam and him into another shop along the way to the diner for breakfast. “Damn it, punk. I thought you said we were going for breakfast and the museum, not window shop every fuckin store on main street.” Steve shot him a look before continuing to browse the wide selection of limp stuffed animals in the Build-a-Bear shelves. “Hey man, it’s my girls birthday soon. Gotta get somethin’ for her.” Steve stated matter-of-factly as he decided on a sailor hat for his little blue crab. Sam perked up at the mention of the date, “Oh shit you right!” Sam immediately snatched a falcon plush and raced for the filling station leaving Bucky alone with his thoughts. He forgot what the days were, with Y/N having been gone for 18 months, all the days just seemed to feel the same without her. He was about to turn and leave the store with everything reminding him of her, when he spotted one lone little white wolf sitting in a cubby. He had a little tactical suit on and piercing blue eyes. Bucky smiled softly, deciding that he could give it to Y/N when she came home. After paying for said plushies, the trio finally made it to the diner for breakfast, which seemed to pass fairly quickly and Sam all but dragged the two soldiers to the museum, blabbering on about the supposed Falcon exhibit causing Bucky to groan. They paid for their tickets and began strolling about the museum, stopping and observing the different exhibits.
When the trio left the museum it was early evening, and Sam and Steve were all but dragging Bucky back to the compound, much to his protest. “Goddamn what if I want something to eat?” Sam just shook his head as he stuffed Bucky into a cab and jumped in after, “Nope. we have food at the compound get some there.” Bucky groaned and looked at Steve who was watching them with an excited smile on his face. Quirking an eyebrow, he questioned the look, What’s gotcha so giddy?” Steve dropped the smile as if it burned him and swallowed, “Nothing? What makes you say that? I’m perfectly fine.” Bucky heard Sam cough and turned to look at him to see a death glare on his face directed towards the blonde super soldier. This caused Bucky to be even more suspicious, “Ok, what are you two fucks planning?” Steve squirmed under the intense gazes while Sam sighed, “Nothing, we just left something in your room for you to find when we get back and Mr. ‘I can’t keep a secret’ is losing it.” The rest of the ride was spent with Bucky trying to guess and Sam telling him to ‘just fucking wait.’
Even after they arrived back at the compound, the pair seemed to be rather cryptic about what this ‘thing’ was so he ventured off to his room with Sam and Steve hot on his heels. Sam pulled out his phone and started recording as Bucky opened the door and walked in. Everything was exactly as he left it that morning. He wandered further into the room and slowly began to notice some things were off. There was an extra phone charger plugged into the outlet by the nightstand and there were more clothes in the dirty hamper in the corner of the room. Bucky wandered over to the hamper and pulled out a shirt and recognized it as one of Y/N's. “How the hell did this get here?” He asked as he turned around and when he saw a third person standing near the door observing him he dropped the shirt and it hit the floor like his jaw. Y/N smiled softly and took a step towards him. “Well, it is dirty since I wore it on the plane ride home.” She said with a sweet smile. Bucky all but ran over to her and scooped her up in his arms spinning her around. He set her down and held her at arm's length as he looked her over. “I- wha- how- Hi!” He pulled her back into his arms, unable to form a full sentence. “What are you doing here!? You still have 6 months of your mission left!’ Bucky exclaimed as he pulled back to place a hand on Y/N's face. She nuzzled her face into his palm as she spoke, “I finished early, so now I'm home.” Bucky smiled and pressed a long kiss to her lips, not wanting to pull away for fear she would disappear. As they parted and smiled at each other, the moment was wrecked by an obscene sniffling noise coming from the doorway. The pair looked to see Sam comforting a crying Steve. “T-they’re just too cute!” He wailed. Sam, Y/N, and Bucky shared a look before busting out laughing as Sam led a crying Steve away leaving the pair alone. Bucky kissed Y/N once again, pulling her flush up against his body and pouring all of the emotion that was pent up from the time apart. When the pair broke apart, he rested his forehead against hers and whispered, “Welcome home, my love.”
