"I think we should seriously get up now. It's like 11 and I'm sure that the others, especially Steve, are waiting for us. You know that he's an early riser and that Tony is very impatient." I remind Bucky of breakfast, or rather brunch now, since it's already quite late and it's become tradition among the Avengers to eat breakfast and dinner together. Believe it or not, Tony was the one who established this new rule.

"Can't they eat without us? I wanna stay in bed with you." He nuzzles his face into my neck as his arms around me press me tighter against his chest. I let out a little chuckle at the ticklish move and can't prevent a grin. It's been an eternity since he's cuddled with me.

"We probably won't have much of a choice if we don't want them to invade our room." I hint at the team's behavior. If Clint crawls through the air shaft again, I'll kick him out. The last time already scared the shit out of me.

"Our room?" His question makes me turn around and glance at him, a hopeful smile almost reaching his eyes.

"Any objections?" I playfully tilt my head and his smirk widens.

"None at all. We have seventy years to catch up on." His hand gently strokes my cheek and the thumb of his hand slowly runs over my bottom lip, I swallow and the air suddenly turns into an unbearable heat. My heart races uncontrollably and he leans in, his soft lips meeting mine halfway and I close my eyes, enjoying the intense feeling in my stomach and the taste of his kiss.

"Whatever you two are doing, please be so kind as to move your asses to the kitchen!" Tony's voice suddenly echoes through the room and we jump apart, wincing at the announcement and interruption. "You can be very lucky that I didn't install security cameras in your room. Now hurry, we're starving!"

"Bloody, stupid son of a bitch." I swear and roll my eyes, sitting up and looking at the ceiling.

"Aw, you were really looking forward to it, weren't you?" Bucky teases me and I try not to blush, pushing him off the bed.

"Shut up." I only say while I get up as he laughs, standing up and placing an arm around me. Without a warning, he pulls me towards him, spinning me around to another kiss. This one is anything but gentle, more passionate and dominant, making me yearn for more. His tongue brushes against my bottom lip and I feel a quiet moan escaping my lips, breathing in his scent. He smirks into the kiss and slowly pulls back, even though I notice that he doesn't want to.

"Don't worry, canary. We have plenty of time now to do this." He pants, his forehead is against mine. "No hurry."

"Alright, Mr Barnes. But we gotta hurry if we don't want Tony to visit us." I smile and he chuckles slightly. After changing into our clothes and getting ready, we walk to the kitchen where everyone already awaits us.

"Finally." Tony groans and rolls his eyes while Steve sends us a greeting smile. Clint and Sam are already eating, they fight over the cereal box though, and Natasha tries to break them apart. Vision pours tea in Wanda's cup and to my surprise, Pepper sits right next to Tony.

"Hey, Pepper! It's been a while. Glad you're back." I greet her friendly and sit down next to her, Bucky between Steve and me.

"It's been quite chaotic since the Ultron incident, I had to take care of Stark Industries because a certain person is too lazy to take responsibility." She glances at Tony who only rolls his eyes again. "And I'm also here to babysit Tony for you because of a special occasion."

"What special occasion?" I ask and Natasha suddenly gets up, finishing our conversation as she looks at me with a smirk.

"We're leaving now. Come on, Wanda, you too." The spy commands and Wanda nods, waving to Vision and I'm only confused. "You sure you don't wanna come with us, Pepper?"

"No, thanks, I've got a lot of organizing to do, you know."

"Wait, what? Where are we going? I thought we were gonna have brunch together?" I look at Steve and Bucky but they only shrug grinning. What is going on? Wanda is the only one who gives me a clue about the plan for today.

"Girl's day!"

***

"This is absolutely ridiculous. Since when did you guys plan this?" I just frown and lean back into the seat, watching how Wanda and Natasha pick out a few dresses from an expensive shop. For the Sokovian, it's the first time that she actually goes shopping. I mean, I'm really happy for her that she finally has the privilege every young girl should have but it doesn't mean that I'll survive four hours of shopping. We already spent the whole day with mani- and pedicures, massages and at the hairdresser's shop.

"Since I got Tony's credit cards." Natasha winks and holds the American Express card up, along with many more cards that are marked with Tony's signature.

"How did you get those? Oh, dear, did you blackmail him again?" I assume and she slightly laughs, shaking her head.

"No, this time, he voluntarily gave me them, it was even his idea. While we're having a relaxing day, Barnes is having a good day with the boys."

"If you call this relaxing, then I don't know either..." I only mumble confused. First, Steve and Bucky act suspicious and now Tony gives us his credit cards to go shopping. I'm glad that Bucky gets along with the others but I'm sure Sam and him are already arguing. "Don't we have any missions to go on?"

"You really need to relax, Eve." Wanda insists as she goes to the changing room with a bunch of dresses . "Hydra is defeated. Now it's just the little missions that shouldn't concern us too much though."

"Try these on." Natasha throws a pile of dresses towards me, at least six different designs. "Have fun."

"I'm not surprised that you know my size." I comment with a sigh, taking them to the changing room as well. All these dresses are short as hell and would only reach my thigh. "Natasha, you gave me shirts!"

"Nope, I didn't. Just try them on!" She shouts back and I roll my eyes. In the forties, people would've thought I'm a whore for wearing this. Nonetheless, I try them on and they're surprisingly not too uncomfortable, even though it is tight like a second skin. The dresses in the forties were much more uncomfortable.

"Come out, we wanna see the dress you chose!" Wanda calls me and I sigh. Keeping the red dress, I walk out and the two women clap with enthusiasm, Natasha whistles playfully.

"Hot." Wanda grins, wiggling with her eyebrows and I roll my eyes, chuckling slightly while I just throw a dress at her.

"Why do we need these dresses again?" I hint at the lack of information that was given to me.

"Because we're gonna party. I know Wanda is still young but it's an exception this time. And I brought Thor's magic alcohol that he hid under his bed in the Tower, so there's no escape for you to be drunk at least once." Nat grins and passes a pair of high heels to me. "These shoes will fit to your dress."

"Party?" I raise a brow in the air. The last party I was at was interrupted by an attack from Ultron. "Why should we party?"

"To have fun, obviously." Wanda nudges me and stands up, spinning around in her dark blue dress. To see her in an expensive dress somehow makes me smile, reminding me of the fact that the three of us are actually orphans.

"Tell me, Eve, how is it with Barnes?" Nat smirks as I put on the high heels, a slight blush rising to my cheeks at her question.

"What?"

"Come on, it's just us girls. With Clint, it's amazing and sometimes exhausting. This guy demands more attention than the Queen. Yet, I love him, even though he can be very childish and immature." She tells us, then she glances at me waiting for me to spill the beans. Girl talk. Awesome.

"I feel like I'm on cloud nine with Bucky." I admit when I think of this morning and last night. I've never slept that well in this new century. "He... he completes me. And he's  my first love. We met when I was 16 and tried to save Steve from bullies."

"That's so romantic and sweet." Wanda swoons over the love story and I grin slightly at the memories.

"What about you, huh?" I now want to know, mischief lacing my voice. "What's going on between you and Vision?"

"Vision?" Her eyes widen and Natasha chuckles. "What should be going on? He's a good friend and we sort of have a connection."

"Is he even capable of having feelings?" The red-headed spy questions and I shrug.

"I'm not really an expert on this topic but I like to believe to. He actually cares more about you than any one of us and he was really eager to save you when you got kidnapped. Sure, sometimes he seems a bit robotic, but I think the mind stone in his head makes him... " I try to find a good word as I look at Wanda, "...feel."

Wanda only remains silent and seems to process the words while Natasha slightly smiles. "C'mon, let's go to the party."

"Avengers having a party, why not..." I mutter, still not used to this idea. Natasha pays for the dresses and the shoes and we just keep the dresses on, she wears a green short one herself. Leaving the shop, we enter the limo that is already waiting for us. "I feel like a wealthy person, it's weird."

"Like Tony?" Wanda questions and I shake my head.

"No, just wealthy, not conceited and arrogant too." My answer earns their chuckle and our driver, Happy, starts heading to the party location. Manhattan is filled with life and lights as always, crowded with tourists and noises.

"Here, Thor's magic juice that should even win over your metabolism." Natasha hands me a glass of a dark content, the familiar sweet aroma spreads through the air. I already tasted a bit of it at the last party and it does have an effect on me, but I've never drunk more.

"Well, I won't say no to that." I down the drink with a sip and already feel the warm prickling in my stomach. We soon arrive at some fancy private club that is unknown to me and luckily don't receive too much attention. The club is not crowded at all which surprises me until I know why.

"Of course, you own a club." I roll my eyes at Tony who's sitting in the lounge with every person we know. Rhodey, Pepper, Maria, Sharon, Helen, Scott, Sam, Vision, Clint, Steve, Bucky and even T'Challa. "How come we are honored with your presence tonight, your highness?"

"Captain Rogers invited me for a special occasion." T'Challa only reveals with a sly smile which confuses me. What does everyone mean by special occasion?

"Nat! Hey, guys, Nat is back! My girlfriend is back!" Clint yells, sounding clearly drunk and Natasha rolls her eyes, yet a little smirk is left on her red lips. The archer stands up and grabs her hand, pulling her towards the dance floor. "Let's dance, Nat!"

"Of course, I own a club, I also own myself, Farrell! Ever considered that?!" Tony huffs and he doesn't sound very sober either. Rhodey chuckles at his best friend's behavior and Pepper shakes her head in disapproval.

"I'm not drunk enough to handle this." I groan and take the bottle with Thor's Asgardian alcohol, drinking a huge sip as Steve and Bucky approach me.

"Mind sharing?" Steve asks and I hand him the bottle with a grin.

"Damn." Bucky places his hand over his heart, pretending to have a heart attack. His eyes beam with admiration and passion. "You take my breath away, canary."

"You look pretty dapper yourself." I compliment him back. He's wearing a red shirt that underlines his muscles and body, making him look more attractive than he already is. Sam stands up, clapping his hands.

"Let's party!"

A/N- More fluff yay? Just one chapter left, then the epilogue comes :) I'm getting emotional
