[Virginia AU] as sunshine flows into trees

In the wake of his success creating the block, Pepper manages to coax Tony into coming back down to the city for what Tony says'll be 'a few days, maybe a week.' Bucky wonders how successful she'll be at keeping him there, given that part of the reason he'd moved fully into the compound to begin with was evidently the strain between them, but decides it's not really his business.

In Tony's absence, Steve doesn't think it's a good idea for him to be too far out of reach, just in case something comes up that needs the Avengers. Bucky finds this out when he broaches the idea of going back to Virginia for a day or two, if they can figure out a plausible excuse. He encourages Bucky to go with Sharon anyway, though, and to have fun.

Bucky's not sure if they can get away with it, but there's no question that it'll be easier without Pepper and Tony around to ask awkward questions. Still, he tries not to get his hopes up too high when he comes to find Sharon in the office after Steve heads down for a training session with the team.

He raps on the door with his right hand, and waits for her to answer.

"I don't know," she admits. "It's not what I've been doing. It's not what I expected to do. But I don't know how long it might be before I get assigned back to the State, otherwise."

One corner of her mouth curves up, very slightly. "You did say you liked Europe," she recalls.

"Maybe. We've got time to think about it. A little bit, anyway. Ross hasn't said anything about pulling me back just yet."

"Oh, yeah?"

She leans in and kisses him, her smile teasing. "Don't forget all about your coffee and cake."

She laughs, but opens her mouth obediently to accept the cake. "Good thing we don't have anywhere to be today," she teases, and reaches to break off a piece of his cake, offering it up to him in the same way.

"Me, too." She kisses him again, soft and sweet. "It's really nice to be here with you."

She can almost pretend that this is a normal life, that they could be here anytime they wanted, instead of just stealing a few precious moments.

She laughs, bright and delighted, and curls her arms a little more closely around his neck. "The coffee was getting cold anyway," she murmurs, and kisses him again.

Her laugh bubbles up as he rolls them over and gently pins her to the quilt, and she runs her fingers up into his hair, tipping his head to kiss him, deep and thorough. The sun is warm on his back as she runs her palm over his shirt, savoring him every bit as much as she had the coffee and cake earlier.

"Yes," she murmurs back, answer and affirmation in one. She arches up into his touch, her body loving the feel of his hand as it roams over her. "I'm here, baby. You have me."

[personal profile] from_the_outside 2022-06-07 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
She laughs and shakes her head, then kisses him again. "We're safe," she promises, running her hands over his shoulders. "Nobody's going to come up here. It's just you and me, baby."

She skates her hands over his shoulders and along the sloping curve of his back, then slides them into the back pockets of his jeans as she kisses him back. "Bucky," she murmurs. "You drive me crazy."

It feels impossibly freeing to be tangled up with him out here in the fresh air and sunlight. It's nothing they could do anywhere near the Avengers compound – hell, she does her best to keep from touching him too much even in Steve's apartment, unless they're alone in his room together.

So she gives herself this chance, now; runs her hands along the planes of his body, sneaks one up beneath the hem of his shirt to trace the line of his spine as she tips her head to give him room. "Yes," she murmurs, lost in the moment with him. "Yes, baby."

She reaches up her hands to run them over his stomach, teasingly keeping her elbows low so he can't remove her shirt just yet.

"God," she murmurs, her glance tracing along every bared line of him as the sun kisses his skin and gleams off the metal of his left arm. "You're so gorgeous, Bucky."
