The first time you mentioned it, it was a casual remark, you didn’t think anything of it, but Bucky was confused. Very confused. He thought maybe it was some strange saying women from this time said. But it bothered him that you wouldn’t let him help you.
So he brought it up to Sam, explaining how he tried to lift you up so that you could reach into the back of the top cabinet, however, you gently slapped his hands away saying you were too much, too heavy and he would throw out his back.
That led to an entire conversation that he never thought he would have. He never considered that you would have any insecurities, why would he when Bucky thought you were perfection.
He spent the entire drive home mulling it over and the only flaw that he could come up with was that you didn’t think he couldn’t lift you up, that you believed that you were too heavy for him.
And he did not like that.
When he walked into the house, Bucky found you sitting on the couch watching Netflix, he studied you for a good five minutes, getting closer and closer until his nose was touching yours.
You look up from the screen to see an irate Bucky glaring at you, and you can’t figure out why. “Uh, Bucky, you okay?” you ask slowly, moving back into the cushions.
“You don’t think I can handle you, huh?” he challenges, placing his arms around you, “you think you’re too heavy for me?” His offended tone lingering in the air.
You stammer out, “well I, I mean, I didn’t want you to drop me or anything.”
And that sets him off. He has plans already forming in his mind. He nods, his narrowed blue eyes peering into yours, “okay then, doll.”
He walks away with a laugh, “we’ll see about that.”
You stare at his retreating body. “We shall see about that!”
That night, you’re walking out of the bathroom about to go to sleep when he scoops you up with his right hand and holds you in the air, ignoring your startled shrieks, he walks around to your side of the bed and gently lays you down.
You look up shocked and mildly confused for the second time today, Bucky smirks at you and places a kiss on your lips.
“Goodnight, doll.” He has a smug air about him, his blue eyes telling you he’s right and you’re wrong. It’s intoxicating, and he loves it. Not as much as he loves you but it’s pretty damn close
The next morning, the previous incident is forgotten as you drag yourself awake and search for the caffeine you need to survive Monday. You shuffle to the kitchen, a quick press of a button on the fancy machine that Tony gave you, and the familiar aroma of coffee floats through the air.
