A/N-this is the first chapter, so it’s pretty much just a little backstory/getting to know the dynamics and characters, there will be more I promise. Also this is my first post so I hope y’all like it!
You have been Bucky assistant for a few weeks now and still haven’t opened up to him, you’re a shy person anyways but around him, for some reason you’re a total mess. At the start you could hardly even talk, you’re honestly surprised you even got the job. You would get all flustered every time he would talk to you and didn’t speak to him unless you had to.
You have warmed up to him more and actually speak to him now, even ask how his day has been. Vienna on the other hand, you warned up to her immediately. Not that you had much choice, she practically forced you to be her friend, not that you minded. She’s cool, confident and basically the total opposite to you. She’s very openly sexual which in all honestly is kinda terrifying. Not the fact she’s confident in her own sexuality, but the fact she knows so much. The more she spoke about it the more freaked out you got. You never let it show though, she was a talker and knew you were shy so never really expected you to tell a story back. What she didn’t know though is you wouldn’t have a story anyways. Until now.
You were sat at your desk outside of Mr Barnes’s office when Vienna came up to you. She was telling another one of her sex stories like always when your face got really red. “Girl why are you so red?” She asks. “What if someone hears you?” You whisper looking around. “So what, it’s not like I keep this shit private anyways.” She laughs then starts almost examining your face. You could practically see the gears turning when she asks “when was the last time you had sex?” With an almost accusing tone. You get very taken aback by the question and gasp. “What!” “Girl don’t act like I asked you to kill someone’s, I said when was the last time you had sex.”
You’re face is redder then red as you look down and almost inaudibly make up “a few weeks ago” she sees right through the lie and gasps. “Holy shit. You’re a virgin!” She whispers shouts like it’s this ground breaking news. “No! I’ve done it.” “You can’t even say the word.” She looks with a straight face. “I have! So many times.” “Mhm, when? And what did it feel like.” She’s holding back a laugh as though it’s funny. “I told you a few week’s ago. And it felt amazing, like so good” you try confidently but end up just sounding very unconvincing.
You back up embarrassed when you hit something behind you. You turn to see Mr Barnes behind you, sheets in hand. “Mr Barnes, how can I help you.” You announce, ears heating up. “I need you to photo copy these.” You swear you could almost see a slight smirk on his face but he turns before you can inspect it. As he’s walking away you turn to Vienna. “How long was he standing there!” Head in hands. “Not long. Just enough to hear you say it feels amazing.” She busts out in hysterics as you rush off with the papers internally groaning.
The second you get home you take your jacket and plop down onto the couch groaning out loud, sighing. You sit and just think for five minutes before getting up and going to change into sweatpants and an old T-shirt then going into the kitchen to get some food. You look at your phone on the counter about twenty times before picking it up and calling Vienna. “You were right. I am a virgin.” You say cringing into the phone. “Yeah, no shit.” You can hear her breath as though she’s holding back her laugh. “Vienna it’s not funny. Do you actually think Mr Barnes knows what we were talking about. Oh my God what of he did, no god no. I’m his assistant, we shouldn’t have been talking about that stuff at work, you shouldn’t have been talking about it. What if he thinks that’s all we talk about, like we’re-“ she cuts you off “stop spiralling. I was kidding he has literally just got there when you bumped into him, trust me he didn’t hear.” She huffs out a laugh before you say goodbye and hang up.
All you could think about as you tried to sleep was whether he heard you. What would he think if he did? Would he think you had sex? Is it better if he thinks that? I mean I don’t know if I would want my boss to know I’m a virgin. Well I would want him thinking about my sexuality at all. What if he thinks you’re unprofessional. No, Vienna said he didn’t hear, so he didn’t hear.
You wake up with a terrible headache, tired eyes and a huge lack of sleep. You take a cold shower while considering on calling in sick but thought it best to go in, less time to think. You get to work wearing your fitted shirt, done up all the way and a long asymmetrical black skirt, shortest part still going past your knee to be modest. You confidently walk in and towards Mr Barnes as you usually did before Vienna drops you half way. “Have you ever masturbated?” She whispers too confidently and a little too loud for your liking. “Vienna!” You snap looking over to Mr Barnes who’s busy talking to someone. “I’m serious, I mean I’ve been friends with virgins before but Jesus Christ you are another level of inexperienced.” She sighs “can you not. Especially in work, I was up all night worried mr Barnes heard our conversation I don’t need to stress about him knowing if I do that as well!” She giggles “okay, one he didn’t hear you then and can’t hear you now, two I truly don’t think he’s gonna think differently of you if he knew you’ve never masturbated if he could hear you, which he can’t and three if anything he would just think you’re a weirdo like I do, not unprofessional” “I never said I hadn’t.” You snap back not knowing how to reply “you didn’t need to, your face did for you.” She laughs walking away leaving you all flustered.
You take a deep breath before walking over to him. “Good morning Mr Barnes, you have a meeting scheduled at noon and another one at three, both in conference room one. I sent you an email about what to expect of both.” You go to walk away before he stops you “what you and Vienna talking about, you seemed a little mad, did something happen?” He asks seriously. “No! No nothing like that we’re fine just talking about absolutely nothing.” You say a little too enthusiastically before speed walking off to your desk.
Later in the day Mr Barnes is back in his office, you outside at your desk when Vienna comes back over and puts something on your desk. “What’s this?” You pick up the paper seeing a website written on it. “A website to help you. I recommend the vibrating panties to begin with, but the vibrating 9’ monster dildo is my favouite.” Your eyes widen as you realise what she’s talking about. You are about to say something when you hear Mr Barnes door open and you quickly shove the paper into your pocket as he walks down the hall towards you. “Oh I see you two have made up from this morning” he says with that same almost alarm as yesterday. “Oh, what did you tell him happened this morning, huh?” Vienna says dramatically. “Nothing we were just having a conversation.” “Mhm well I’m glad we could have another conversation.” She emphasises as she walks away smirking while looking down at the pocket I put the paper in.
Later that nights curiosity gets the better of you and you put the website in. It takes a moment to load but when it does. You see fake body parts, vibrators, anal beads, tentacles? And many more things that you don’t even wanna read the name of. You decide to search for vibrating panties instead of browsing and traumatising yourself further. A few come up but one pair catches your eye. They’re normal panties, no holes, no string bits. Full coverage panties. You as them to your cart and hover over the buy button for a few minutes before closing your laptop deciding against it.
The next few days consist of Vienna asking you if you bought them in secret and you saying no then her telling you, “you really should” and “it’s a good starting place.” Over and over again. A week and a half later you’re back at the same place you are every night, hovering over the buy button for an hour. This time you press buy. No second guessing, as quick as you could so you wouldn’t over think it. You said and just think to yourself. $35 on a pair of panties. $35 on a pair of panties you’re probably gonna be too scared to try. You sigh, head hitting the pillow and put yourself to bed.
The second you get to work you find Vienna “I bought them.” You whisper shout “oh my god. Finally, took you long enough.” She sighs laughing. As you start walking to your desk. “ you tried them yet?” She asks before a cough interrupt you. “Tried what?” A deep voice behind you asks as you feel your face heating up. “A new show that just came out.” You almost shout. “Okay.. well you didn’t come to see me this morning.” He says as you quickly apologise. “Sorry, we were just so caught up by the show I didn’t even think.” You tell him his schedule before excusing yourself to your desk and starting up your computer. You see Vienna giggling but she doesn’t say anything as my Barnes suspiciously walks back into his office. You take a deep breath and you relax slightly, slumping a little in your chair.

"Mr. Chew, what's your opinion on the laws of thermodynamics and do they prove God doesn't exist?"
"Mr. Chew, would it be a stretch for this congress to assume that you support eugenics?"
"Mr. Chew, if mankind develops the technology to travel to and colonize Mars by 2030, will you personally finance a twenty-team crew to fly to the planet and access the wifi there, and will you sell that data to China?"
