After two long antagonizing months Bucky is finally coming home. I'm waiting with Steve where Bucky left to go and I see the other dames standing around waiting for their loved ones too. The moment I see the bus my heart starts to pound against my chest.

The doors open and all of the men walk off in their uniform and I look around for Bucky hoping to see him. The moment our eyes find the others I smile brightly and run over to him which makes him laugh. He picks me up and spins me around before kissing me lovingly.

"You're home." I whisper while tears start to fall down my cheeks, still smiling.

"I am doll. I've missed you so much." He says wiping the tears from my cheeks then tucks my hair behind my ear.

"Am I invisible now?" I hear Steve ask. Bucky laughs and I let him go then he walks up to Steve and hugs him.

"It's good to see you too buddy. How has she been?" Bucky asks and Steve looks at me with a small smile.

"She wasn't herself. She would just clean, cook and sing sadly to herself. If she wasn't doing that she would look at the pictures we took together at Coney Island and cry. It was so hard seeing her go through that." Steve says. Bucky frowns then looks over at me before walking over to me.

"You really didn't keep to the promise, did you doll?" He asks and I shake my head. He sighs then cuddles me while I send a glare to Steve because I told him not to say anything to Bucky.

"Oh, did you get your orders Buck?" Steve asks. Bucky nods then looks down at me.

"Yes. One O Seventh infantry, Sergeant James Barnes." Bucky says. Steve and I look at each other which confuses Bucky.

"Did you just say One O Seventh?" Steve asks and Bucky nods.

"When do you leave?" I ask and that's when Bucky sighs.

"In two days. Being shipped to England." He says. I feel my heart sink and shatter leaving me with an empty feeling.

As the three of us start walking back to the house I can't shift the empty feeling. I know it sounds really selfish but I don't want Bucky to leave again after being away from him for two months. Now we get only to spend two days together.

When we get to the house Steve and Bucky sit in the living room while I go up to my bedroom to change. As I close the door tears once again fall down my cheeks because I really don't want Bucky to leave so soon.

"Can I come in doll?" I hear Bucky ask. I take a deep breath then walk over to my door and open it. Bucky looks down at me and no matter how hard I try to hide the fact I've been crying Bucky still notices.

"Talk to me doll. What has gotten you so upset?" He asks walking in then sits on my bed. I close the door while keeping my back to him then look over before walking over and sitting next to him.

"You've only just got back and now I only have two days with you before you leave me again. These past two months have been really hard and I missed you so much. I don't think I will be able to cope with you being gone again Bucky." I say trying to stop myself from crying.

"I missed you too doll but I haven't got a choice. I have to go. I didn't ask for this. They basically ordered that I fight for our country. Let's make these two days some days we will never forget." He says takig my hand in his lacing our fingers before lifting my chin so I am looking into his eyes. I nod then he quickly kisses me.

I grab the nape of his neck and pull him close pressing my lips to his pouring everything into the kiss. His hands go to my waist when I climb onto his lap deepening the kiss. It's urgent, heated and passionate, kissing him like he is my lifeline and trying to fix my shattered heart.

"We better go downstairs before Steve comes up and accuses us of doing something." Bucky says to which I sigh and climb off of him.

Bucky looks at me weirdly but doesn't say anything when we walk out of my bedroom and back downstairs. I don't know what I'm going to do when Bucky leaves again. It's like everytime he leaves he takes a piece of my heart and soul with him leaving a small hole where it should be.

Steve looks over to see Bucky looking sadly at me and my eyes are red and puffy with tear stains on my cheeks. Steve sighs then walks over and wraps his arms around me. This is how I was when Bucky was gone for the two months for training.

"I know what we can do Buggie. Let's go get some ice-cream and enjoy the time we have with Bucky." Steve says which makes me look at him.

"Okay." I say weakly which makes both Bucky and Steve look at each other. Bucky lifts my chin and looks into my eyes with a small smile before kissing the side of my mouth.

"Steve is right doll. Let's go and enjoy the time we have left." He says. I nod slightly before putting on my coat and walking out of the door leaving Bucky and Steve in the house.

While walking down the road I see a small dress shop so go over to take a look. I walk in and smile a little when I see all of the different dresses and start to look through them. Maybe once I have enough money I may have to get one of these. After a few minutes more I leave and wait for Steve and Bucky to catch up.

"Jeez. For someone so small you sure can walk fast." Bucky says and I shoot him a glare making him laugh. My heart warms up at the sound and a smile appears on my face.

"You guys are just slow. It isn't my fault you can't keep up." I joke which makes Bucky and Steve laugh.

Bucky takes my hand lacing our fingers and squeezing gently which makes me look up at him to see the smile that always makes me feel so warm inside. I squeeze his hand in return which makes the smile bigger and I giggle at him because right now he looks at ease and happy. Much different from two months ago when he had to put on a front just so we wouldn't get upset or feel bad for him.

We arrive at the ice-cream shop and Bucky pulls my chair out which makes me blush then sit down. He kisses my cheek before walking to the front with Steve to get the cold treat. I look out of the window and start thinking about my future with Bucky if he comes home after the War. Maybe we will have a family. Maybe we may even get married and live in a little house here in Brooklyn. I smile to myself because it's something I know Bucky will most likely want too.

"Here you go doll. What are you thinking about?" Bucky asks sitting opposite me and Steve sits next to him.

"Nothing really. Just what I'm going to do next." I lie. Steve looks at me with the same look that our mum used to give us when she knew we were lying.

"And what have you decided?" Bucky asks and I smile a little.

"I was thinking about working in the medical field. I've always wanted to be a nurse but when our mum died I had to stay at home to look after Steve." I say. Bucky takes my hand then smiles before leaning over the table and kissing my cheek.

"You follow your dream doll. you never know the Army may ask you to work in their medical field if they need it." He says and I shake my head.

"I doubt it Buck. They will need fully trained experienced nurses in the field of battle. They wouldn't ask an inexperienced Brooklyn girl like me." I say suddenly feeling deflated again.

"I've always admired your medical skills Buggie. Especially because you have always been able to fix up the cuts and bruises I get from fighting." Steve says and I look at him with a small smile.

"Thank you Stevie." I say and he gives me a small smile back then holds my hand while stroking along the knuckles.

Once we finished our ice-cream Bucky suggested we visit the record store because they are having a small dance. I try to get out of it but having both Bucky and Steve begging using puppy dog eyes and pouts, I give in.

"This is going to be fun because I love dancing." Bucky excitedly says. I can't help the small giggle that falls from my lips.

"I know Buck. My sister does too but she just won't admit it. After you left we were walking home and she saw the tavern then started going on about the first time you two met. Oh, and she also said it was the first time you kissed. By the way Barnes I am not impressed I found out way later than when it happened." Steve says and slap his arm making him mutter an "ouch" while rubbing his arm.

"Yes, it was magical. I knew then that she would be my best girl and my doll." Bucky says and I try to hide my now blushing face with my hands.

"Okay that's enough talking about my love life. Let's just go dancing." I say to which both Steve and Bucky cheer like children making me laugh at them.

When we walk in I smile at the way the decorations look hanging around the place, the sound of the music and the happy atmosphere even though it's filled with families who have men who will be going to War. Bucky looks at me with a smile then holds out his hand.

"Would you do me the honor and dance with me doll?" He says putting on that heart melting smile that makes any woman swoon.

"Of course I will Sergeant Barnes." I say which makes him shake his head chuckling.

We walk to the middle of the store and I put my hands on his shoulder while he puts his hands on my waist. I start smiling the moment we make eye contact and forget that he will soon be leaving again to fight in the War.

"Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

For the morning sun and all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort, too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow, you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one."

"You never cease to amaze me doll." Bucky says making me blush and giggle. He leans down and kisses me softly just like the first time we danced together at the tavern. His touch, his kisses, just everything about him makes me feel warm, safe and loved. Three things I always said to myself that I would never feel. I even convinced myself that the love I have for Bucky was all in my head until he told me he loves me.

After dancing to a few more songs we join Steve again. He shakes his head while crossing his arms and I roll my eyes. He is acting exactly like he did when I first danced with Bucky and when we first kissed.

"Just stop Steve. You know Bucky loves me like I love him." I plead. He soon cracks and smiles before laughing at me.

"Jeez I'm not mad Buggie. I just wanted to hear you admit your feelings for Bucky to me. I knew it from the start when you both looked at each other. Bucky wouldn't stop talking about you when we were out. It just got to the point I resented the idea of you two being together. It wasn't until Bucky went away for the two months and I saw how it affected you that I've finally come to terms with the two of you being together. Bucky I give you my full blessing to be with my sister." Steve says. I smile then hug him tightly making him laugh and he hugs me even tighter.

We eventually decide to go back home and Steve has agreed to let Bucky stay for the next couple of nights because we don't know when we will see him again. I still have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach at the mere thought of Bucky leaving then getting a letter or having someone turn up at my front door to tell me Bucky has died in the line of duty.

While making a cup of tea for the three of us I try to think of the positives of this very moment but the niggling or should I say shouting in my mind of all of the negatives that are going to be happening once Bucky leaves are louder. My hand starts to shake then drop the spoon and it crashes onto the counter.

"Buggie what's wrong?" Steve asks running into the kitchen. I keep my head in my hands with the negative thoughts over powering the positive thoughts making my whole body feel numb, weak and tears stream down my cheeks. Steve pulls me into his arms and I cry against his shoulder while he rubs small circles in the middle of my back.

"Steve what's... doll what's wrong?" Bucky asks. I lift my head and our eyes meet which makes more tears fall down my cheeks.

I let go of Steve and run over to Bucky wrapping my arms around him while my whole body shakes while the tears continue to fall down my cheeks and soaking his t-shirt. He holds me close and kisses the top of my head while whispering things into my ear trying to calm me down from my breakdown.

"Thank God you're staying here Buck. It looks like she needs you but you're staying in my bedroom. Just because I have given you my blessing it doesn't mean I will allow you to sleep in my sister's bedroom." Steve says sternly and I giggle a little rolling my eyes.

"He is an idiot." I whisper making Bucky chuckle.

"He is. Once he is asleep I will sneak into your bedroom so I can hold you." He says tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear then strokes my cheek lovingly. I giggle shaking my head before pecking his lips.

"Not a good idea Bucky. Steve will somehow find out and he will lose his temper." I quietly say stroking his cheek with a small frown on my face. He sighs then nods before we walk back over to Steve.

"Are you okay Buggie?" Steve asks and smiles at me.

"Yes, I'm really good Stevie. I'm just erm... going to go have a bath." I say then look at Bucky. He smirks then winks when Steve walks into the living room making me giggle and shake my head.

Once I've had a bath I go into my bedroom and nearly scream when I see Bucky sitting on my bed. I quickly close the door then look at him while trying not to laugh at the cheeky but flirtatious grin on his face.

"What are you doing here Buck?" I ask quietly so Steve doesn't hear.

"I wanted to be alone with you doll. Steve is keeping a close eye on us and I just want us to spend some time alone before I leave for England." He says standing up.

"Well, I need to get dressed. If you don't mind can you wait outside of my bedroom until I tell you it's okay to come in?" I ask. He chuckles before kissing me on the cheek and walks outside of my bedroom.
