Bucky smiled as he watched Betty put her hand on top of her head, holding the wide-brimmed hat in place as the car drove along the sandy landscape. He told her she was better off wearing a pair of those new dark shaded glasses that had come out and a scarf, but she insisted on the hat, stating the glasses hurt her head. Bucky smiled wider when she stuck her tongue out at him in a manner of answering his thoughts of “I told you so”.
“You insisted on coming,” he laughed, turning his head to look out to the barren landscape.
“Yes, well, Egypt sounded marvelous in the books,” she grumbled, her other free hand waved in a small circle, “and how else would I be able to see it?”
Bucky nodded, his smile waning a touch. She had a point. Even though she comes from a family with money, she couldn’t travel on her own, much like any other woman back home. It also pained him to lie, saying she was his assistant in order to get her a passport. The world’s view on women and race was absurd to him.
"Didn't think it would be this sandy?" he teased.
Betty narrowed her eyes at him and turned her head towards the dunes. "You think you're such a comedian."
"I think I'm adorable," he countered with a wink and smirk, which turned into a laugh quickly when her hat blew off when she moved her hand just a smidge off of it. He watched as her dark curls started to whip free from the style she worked it in. Slowly, her scowling face softened as the corners of her lips turned upwards.
"You're many things Bucky Barnes," she laughed, her hand in her bag to pull out the cream colored scarf, "but adorable is pushing it."
Bucky raised his brows, smiling brightly. “I’ll take handsome,” he teased. Again, Betty narrowed her eyes, but the smile remained.
