Pairing: Bucky Barnes x female reader (Ft Alpine and Winter)
Word Count: 1,211
Summary: Getting anything done with two floofy floofs around is never easy...of course they're just so cute but also pains in the butt (in the best way!)
Author's Note: Just love Bucky with his animals so much and this idea popped into my head. There is no particular Holiday or occasion mentioned here so whatever one you want to use is perfect! The dog, Winter, is the one I always use in my stories- he has three legs and Bucky adopted him and of course there is Alpine our fav kitty. The photos in my moodboard are what I imagine they'd look like! Thank you all so much for reading! Much love always! ❤️❤️❤️Divider by the lovely @firefly-graphics thank you Daisy! 🥰
Warnings: Soft and sweet fluff and fun and the cutest animals ever!
“Hey mister!”
Bucky gently tugs the bow from Alpine’s claws.
“That’s not for you to play with! You have plenty of toys!”
Bucky turns to Alpine’s toy bin and points with a stern look. “See…too many toys!”
Winter hops over and nudges Bucky’s arm with a cold nose, a large stuffed duck hanging from his mouth.
Bucky scratches behind the dog’s ears. “I know buddy. That’s your favorite duck.”
Winter’s tail thumps loudly against the side of the couch as he cocks his head to the side.
“If I play now I’ll never get this done,” Bucky tells Winter softly.
He then leans closer to the dog and whispers in his ear. “And if Alpine doesn’t quit his shit I’m gonna have to lock him in the bathroom.”
Winter drops his toy and barks loudly, side eyeing the cat.
“I know,” Bucky says in comradery. “But let’s see how we do.”
Winter promptly does his best stretch and then lays down right next to Bucky.
“Ohhhh big stretch,” Bucky says before giving Winter a pat.
The dog’s long, fluffy and white tail thumps a few more times before he settles quietly, the majority of his body pressed against Bucky’s outstretched leg.
Alpine, not wanting to be left out, sashays over and sits right in front of Bucky, looking up at him with big blue expectant eyes.
“Alpine,” Bucky sighs. “You can’t sit there bud. How am I supposed to wrap?”
The cat blinks several times and then lifts his paw to lick it, clearly uncaring.
Bucky scoops up the cat and positions him on his thigh next to Winter.
Winter ears go up and he sniffs Alpine a few times before settling back down. Alpine gently bats at Winter’s nose before he lays on his side and gets comfortable.
“FINALLY!” Bucky huffs. “Now maybe I can get some things wrapped before Mommy gets home.”
At the word “mommy,” both animals perk up.
“She’ll be home soon,” Bucky assures them with soft pets. “But I need to at least get her gift wrapped first!”
Bucky looks between the rolls of wrapping paper. “Which one should I use?”
Neither Winter nor Alpine respond so Bucky makes a commitment on his own. As soon as he starts to unroll the paper Alpine pounces, pawing and poking at it.
“Alpine!” Bucky chides as he lifts him up. “You can’t play with that!”
Alpine meows loudly as his legs swing back at forth and his tail swishes side to side. Bucky turns the cat so they are face to face.
“Listen you. Unless you’re gonna help you have to behave!”
“MEOW!”
“I’ll put you in the bathroom!”
Winter’s head lifts and he huffs.
“I know I won’t but still…” Bucky grumbles.
He takes Alpine and sets him on his shoulder. “Stay there!”
Alpine digs his claws into Bucky’s Henley and sits perched atop his broad shoulder.
Winter rests his head on Bucky’s thigh.
“Ok, here we go again,” Bucky sighs.
He takes your gift and sets it down in the center of the paper and begins to fold it.
Winter’s wet nose immediately pokes at the paper, leaving a wet spot.
“Doggo!” Bucky says sharply. “Watch that honker.”
Winter’s tail wags still and he scoots closer, inspecting everything with his big black nose.
Once Bucky has it wrapped as best he can he looks at the bag of ribbon.
“This one?” he says as he holds up a particularly pretty one.
Alpine immediately swats at it with a clawed paw and Winter tries to give it a small nibble.
“Shit,” Bucky mutters. “You two are no help!”
Bucky secures the bow as best he can then looks over his handiwork.
“I mean…,” he starts as he looks it over. “It’s the thought that counts right?”
Alpine grows bored with the now wrapped gift and starts to bat at the stray hairs that have fallen loose from Bucky’s bun.
Winter licks Bucky’s hand.
“Thanks guys.”
The sound of the lock turning alerts everyone to your arrival and Bucky quickly hides the gift then follows the animals in their rush to greet you.
“Hi doll face,” Bucky says as he takes you in his arms.
Winter shimmies his large body between the two of you until you pet him and Alpine slips between your legs to rub against you.
“Hi guys!” you smile.
“We missed you,” Bucky says.
“I missed you all more.”
You wrap your arms around Bucky’s neck and press your lips to his.
“What have you been up to?” you whisper.
“Nothin’ much,” Bucky answers.
Winter barks.
You raise an eyebrow and slip from Bucky’s grasp. As you approach the living room Winter bounds past you and starts to dance his paws on top of the mess Bucky left.
“Wrapping?” you ask as Bucky slides up behind you and circles his arms around your waist.
“I thought I should get started,” he murmurs against your ear.
“Want some help?” you ask.
“Definitely,” he answers. “Between these two floofs,” and he motions to Alpine and Winter, “I only got one thing wrapped.”
Bucky sits and leans back along the couch, spreading his legs wide and patting between them. You sit in the open space and rest your back to his chest.
As soon as you grab the wrapping paper, Alpine appears out of nowhere and attacks it.
“See what I’ve been dealing with!” Bucky whines even as you feel his body shake with laughter. “A menace!
Winter, as if knowing he was left out, tries to smash his way onto Bucky’s lap.
“TWO MENACES!” Bucky adds in a huff.
You giggle and pick up Alpine, smooshing him to your chest and cooing at him sweetly.
“Have you been driving daddy nuts all afternoon my sweet boy?”
Alpine nuzzles his head under your chin and purrs.
“And what about you,” you say to Winter as you wrap your free arm around his fluffy neck and scratch his head. “Who’s my good boy?”
Winter’s whole-body wiggles in joy and he starts to lick your face.
“Aw Buck. They couldn’t have been that bad!”
Bucky grumbles something inaudible from behind you and it only makes you love on the babies more.
“How about we just have a cuddle party? We can wrap later,” you suggest.
“I love this plan,” Bucky hums. “But first…we need sustenance!”
He stands and then helps you up before walking into the kitchen. You hear the rustle of bags and the banging of cabinets as you prepare the couch with the pillows and blankets.
As soon as you’re seated Winter paws at the spot on the cushion where he usually lays. You give him a small lift to help him up and then watch as Alpine walks along the edge of the couch and jumps down to the pillow below.
Bucky comes back in with his arms full of goodies.
“Look at this cuddle party,” he muses as he sits next to you.
You snuggle into Bucky’s side and Winter snuggles closer to you. Even Alpine curls up close to Bucky, his warm head pressed against his metal arm.
With your snacks at the ready and Lord of the Rings on the screen you settle into the soft warmth and comfort of your little family.

“Where is she?” Andy asks throwing his soiled clothes into the fire, his hands washing away the blood, but the ragged knuckles remain. Dr. Banner walks over to inspect his injuries, bandaging them as much as possible, while Steve and Bucky clean up from their night as well. “Bruce, where is she?”
“Pissed off at you. You left her with Nick,” Andy groans rolling his eyes as he pulls a clean shirt onto his body. “You also forgot what today was,” when Andy gives him a questioning look, Bruce sighs. “Father’s Day.”
“Shit,” Andy hurries up getting dressed while, Bucky looks at himself in the mirror. “Let me go up there alone,” Bucky starts to interrupt but Andy holds up his hand, “I’m sure that she’ll want you there, too. Let me go up there alone, and explain some things.”
“And you left her with Nick,” Steve starts chuckling, while Andy puts his rings back on his hands, taking a long look in the mirror. “She’s a lot more sensitive since the baby was born.”
“Sam was off with his family, and she won’t tell me what her hang up with Nick is,” Andy inhales sharply, before starting to head up to your room, “She won’t like that cut on your face, Buck.”
Andy slowly opens the door, the baby crying, and Nick trying to get her to make him stop, “Change the diaper.”
“I have, he’s hungry,” your eyes cut over to him. “Leave.”
“I’m supposed to be guarding you.”
“There’s a hallway.”
“Steve and Bucky get to...” Nick’s eyes looks up at Andy before he angrily stomps away. Closing the door a bit too hard, making the baby cry out even louder.
Andy’s face softens when he sees the tears in your eyes. Quickly adjusting your son to nurse, while Winter is trying to watch a movie. “You told me he wouldn’t be here anymore. You told me that once Ozzie was born, you would quit,” you look at his bandaged hands, and shake your head, “I can’t constantly worry about where you are. I need honesty.”
“You need to trust me,” he adds crawling into the bed with you. With a lingering kiss to your lips, he adds one to your son’s head. “Ozzie, you are going to have to keep your mom calm.”
“How can I when Nick is just...Steve or Bucky. I won’t have Nick in my bedroom anymore,” Andy starts to press more on Nick, but you shake your head no, placing a hand on top of Winter’s. Her sweet face looks up at you, holding tighter to your hand.
“Ozzie doesn’t like Nick either,” she says mater-of-factly. “Uncle Andy, where’s my daddy?”
“He’ll be up here shortly,” when Ozzie sleepily unlatches, Andy reaches for his son, and you remember exactly why you’re so in love with him. Those thick fingers run over Ozzie’s soft skin, and he lifts the baby for a kiss. “I’m sorry. It’ll all make since soon.”
“I hope so,” you whisper, leaning onto Andy. Winter’s eyes quickly move to the door when she sees her dad, and Steve standing in the doorway. Jumping off the bed, to jump into his arms.
Her fingers pet over the mark on his face, “Who hurt you?”
“A very bad man. But, daddy took care of him. Did you and the Queen and her little prince have fun?” jokingly she growls at Bucky. “What?”
“He was supposed to be a she,” she turns back to look at Andy, “Does that mean, you’re going to have another?”
“Eventually. I want to enjoy this handsome boy first,” Andy’s eyes never leave the baby, as he continues to take him in. “You two have tomorrow off. We’re not going anywhere.”
Bucky thanks Andy while the three of them leave. You settle down more into Andy your eyes already drifting closed. A whole day spent on edge with Nick being there, and finally you’re comfortable. “Thank you,” Andy whispers gently.
“He’s more comfortable with you as well.”
“Daisy, say the word, and Nick won’t be here anymore.”
“Andy, I don’t trust him. And I don’t want him near the kids,” he gives you a solid nod, letting you know it’s done. No explanation needed. Yours and the kids comfort is what matters. And he will do anything for you, the chunky boy in his arms, and that giggling little princess. “I love you though...Daddy.”
Valentina nuzzled into Winter's shoulder, it was a long flight, even in the Avengers jet, to Italy.
They'd double, triple and quadruple checked that they had everything for the wedding. Her cousin's Wedding. There was nothing to worry about on that end. Meeting the family though... that could turn out a bunch of different ways..
She laced her fingers with his, placing a soft kiss on his knuckles.
"Hey" she cooed up at him "What's going on up there?" She tapped his temple affectionately.
Infinity War but instead of putting on his new arm, Bucky just goes around the battle using it like a baseball bat like
“Take! Me back to the free zer! *brains some dude*
“Take me back to cryoooo!” *chest-kicks someone*
“I never signed on for all of this sh**” *hits a home run*
“G-d dammit please leave me alooooone!” *throws the entire arm*
There was never a way to tell how long she was put on ice. But it felt like years at a time. Even if it had only been months or even weeks. Ever since the collapse of the main force of Hydra, they had accelerated her development.
Soon the days started to bleed together. She was put through even more intense training, force to push herself beyond even her super soldier limits. This was all she had ever known. Asset 313.
The successor to the 'late' Winter soldier before her. Though she knew little to nothing of him. Other than she HAD to be better. She WOULD be better. Designed, born and bred to be the perfect soldier. Even though some days it felt like she was drowning.
Today would be no different.
She awoke to the faint hiss of the cryo pod. As it decompressed, the Asset opened her eyes to see the familiar face of her handler. At his side were scientists, typing away on a panel as she slowly got her Barings. Body slowly coming back to life as the cold left her body.
Something about the base was different. She heard whispers as she was dragged out of the pod and into the winding halls. They were afraid of something,... or someone. She didn't hear a name, but all around her scientists and guards were rushing. Reinforcing the doors to the base, and throwing research into burn barrels. Were they evacuating?
Her handler sat her into the familiar seat of the programing chair, and shoved the bite guard into her mouth as the familiar scientist in charge of her came rushing into the lab.
"They're on their way! Begin the conditioning now!!"
The Asset clenched her fists as the haze started to finally dull, but just as it started to become easier to think, she felt a needle in her neck. Then every thought was gone. Eyes fixed ahead of her even as the machine started to power up, and she was squeezed into place by the restraints. All she could do was close her eyes and wait.
