"Alexa. Shit. It's August 12th!" Rylee practically yelled as she looked at the calendar on her phone.

"Correct...?"

"Seb's birthday is tomorrow!"

"Oh, aw!"

It was Thursday and Alexa and Rylee had been hanging out for the day while the boys were on set.

"There's been so much going on lately I didn't even realize what day it was. What am I gonna do!" Rylee put her head in her hands trying to think.

The girls sat there for a moment and Rylee had an epiphany. "What about a surprise party in the back room of Ruby's?"

Alexa glanced at her with a dumbstruck look. "Why didn't we think of that first! Johnny will totally let you use it!"

Rylee shot Johnny a text, asking him about it.

"Okay, so for now we'll pretend we've got the back room...What's next...Food. I mean people could always buy from the bar..."

"Jills sister has that taco truck! We could get her and park it out back! There's a door from the back room that goes straight out there."

"You're a genius." She looked back down at her phone and texted Jill about it.

"Oh my god. If this all comes together in five minutes I'm gonna lose my shit." Alexa laughed.

Rylee's phone vibrated in her hand and she looked down to read the message she got, "Johnny said yes!"

Rylee laughed in return, "Okay, so people coming. I can get Chris, Anthony, and Hayley to help easy." She made a group text with them to discuss her idea.

Hey y'all. We're on a mission. Sebs birthday is tomorrow and I'm an idiot and didn't realize it was already the 12th. So I need help getting invites out. It's going to be a surprise!

Let's goooo!

Oh my god yes.

Oh hell yes. Who are we thinking.

We're going to have it in the back room at Ruby's and the occupancy limit is 40. So so far we've got us four, Alexa, and I want to for sure get Don there too. Other than that, have at it!

I have Dons number I'll reach out to him. We also get out earlier tomorrow. Which is perfect. I think we're going to be done at like 7.

We're all here today so we'll have a secret meeting and decide who's on the list.

If you guys are done around 7, well make the party for around 8! Don't forget it's a secret 🤫

✨ S E C R E T ✨

😂 you guys are the best. Keep me updated!

"Alright. Those three are already on it. Hopefully they don't act too suspicious." Rylee chuckled.

"I trust Hayley. It's Chris and Anthony I'm worried about." Alexa laughed heartily.

Rylee's phone buzzed again in her hand.

Just called her and she's free all day tomorrow! When do you want her? And where?

"Oh my god Alexa. How did we actually just put this together in five minutes." Rylee cracked up. "Jills sister is in!"

"Yes!" Alexa yelled excitedly.

Rylee responded to Jill's text telling her when and where and to profusely thank her for the short notice.

Rylee plopped back on the couch, "I can't believe we just made all that happen," she laughed in amazement.

"Seriously!" Alexa cracked up.

——————————

Alexa was still over visiting when Chris and Sebastian texted the girls simultaneously saying they got out early and asked if they wanted to do a group date for dinner.

They of course all replied yes and Chris and Sebastian made their way to the apartment to pick up the girls.

When the boys walked in, they saw the girls, wrapped together in a blanket on the couch, feet propped up on the coffee table, watching Netflix.

"Hey you," Sebastian said as he leaned down to kiss the top of Rylee's head.

"Hi baby," Rylee grinned up at him.

"So are we ready to just head right out then?"

"Sure, where should we go?"

They all pondered for a moment and then Sebastian suggested sushi, which everyone immediately agreed with.

The four got ready and moseyed out the door and down to the lobby, casually conversing about the day and what occurred.

As they walked out the lobby door onto the street, Sebastian walked ahead of the group a few steps to get to Rylee's door first, opening it for her. Chris pouted and said, "I didn't even get the chance to call shotgun."

"Bro, she's shotgun for life. Deal with it." Sebastian laughed as he walked around the front of the car to the other side.

They drove across the city and soon Sebastian pulled into the lot of Sushi Nakazawa. They all chattered together as they made their way inside. They only had to wait a few minutes to be seated before they all hopped up onto their high chairs by the serving counter.

The chef strolled out in front of them and introduced himself as Katashi and took their orders, beginning to prepare the food right in front of them. He flipped and stirred and flung all the various foods across his counter top, putting on a show. At one point, Katashi pointed his spatula at Sebastian, offering to try to fling a small piece of salmon for him to catch, which of course Sebastian wanted to try.

They lined themselves up and the group counted down.

3...

2...

1...

He flung the salmon up into the air artfully and Sebastian leaned back slightly to perfectly line up and catch it square in his mouth, throwing his hands in the air like he'd just scored a touchdown at the super bowl.

They all cheered and laughed, genuinely shocked he actually caught it and it didn't just hit him in the face.

Soon, their food was made and served and they were all once again enjoying each other's company.

"Excuse me, you're Sebastian Stan..and Chris Evans..right?"

The group looked over their shoulders to see a kind-looking woman, probably in her early 30s standing behind them.

"Yes, miss, we are." Chris stated, smiling. Sebastian also threw on a smile.

"My son is a huge fan of Bucky and Captain America, and when I told him I saw you sitting across the room he didn't believe it was you. I was just hoping I could introduce him to you both."

"Absolutely," Chris and Sebastian both said simultaneously.

"Thank you so much, this will mean the world to him." She stepped away to another table for a moment and walked back with a young boy, probably around 7 or 8 years old.

Chris leaned over to get a better look at the boy hiding behind his mother's leg, giving him a small wave. He looked very shy and unsure.

"Peter, you know Captain America and Bucky Barnes right?"

Peter nodded very shyly, still tugging on his mother's pant leg.

"Hey buddy, it's nice to meet you!" Chris said, laying on the Captain America charm, standing from his chair and then crouching down to meet Peter's eye level.

Sebastian stood up from his chair and crouched down as well, "Hey there, your mom says you've heard of us?"

The boy nodded, slowly popping out from behind her leg to see them more clearly. His eyes glanced over at Sebastian's human left hand sticking out of his sleeve, "You got your arm back?"

Sebastian looked at his left hand and let out a small laugh, "You wouldn't believe the things they can do in Wakanda, kiddo. It looks real, but it's not." He reached out and ruffled Peters hair with the hand they were discussing.

"That is so cool." Peter reached out to gently touch Sebastian's hand, feeling his skin in amazement.

"T'challa and Shuri are pretty smart people, huh?"

"Yeah!" Peter exclaimed. "I met smart people like them at the hospital! They made me this!" He pulled up his left pant leg to show Sebastian and Chris his prosthetic leg.

Sebastian didn't even miss a beat, saying, "That is so cool! We're like twins."

"Yeah!" Peter smiled from ear to ear and without warning immediately shot forward to hug Sebastian, almost knocking him off balance.

He chuckled as he hugged Peter tightly, regaining his balance. He looked up at Peter's mom who had tears in her eyes and a small smile on her lips.

Sebastian lived by the rule that no matter who he was hugging whether it was a fan or family, he would never be the first to let go. So him and Peter sat like that for a few moments, Sebastian rubbing his back as Peter squeezed him tightly.

Soon Peter loosened his grip and Sebastian put a hand on either of his shoulders, "You are such a strong, tough kid. Don't ever let anyone get you down. Got me? Just because you're different, doesn't mean your less. Cap, here, always had to remind me of that." Sebastian clapped Chris on the back, and gave him a smile. "Promise me you'll always try to remember that."

"I promise. Thanks Bucky." Peter said, still smiling so big it probably hurt his little chubby cheeks.

"Can we get a picture with you?" Sebastian asked Peter happily, also looking at his mom for permission as she nodded, "I'd love to show Shuri and T'Challa your cool prosthetic."

"Oh my gosh yeah!" Peter exclaimed. Sebastian and Chris moved closer together, positioning Peter in between them who was rolling up his pant leg.

First his mother got a picture on her phone and then Rylee hopped over to get a picture on Sebastian's. Rylee looked on, so much love pouring out of her heart for the man kneeling by this beautiful little boy.

"Thank you so much for coming over to meet us! It was an honor, sir." Sebastian said as he saluted Peter jokingly and Peter saluted back.

"Yes! Thank you! It was amazing to meet you Peter!" Chris tagged on as well. Peter ran back over to the table where his grandparents were still seated, waiting patiently for them.

Sebastian stood up from his crouch almost in unison with Chris, watching Peter run across the restaurant.

Sebastian closed the gap between Peter's mother and himself and stuck his arms out for a hug. She immediately hugged him in return, whispering in his ear, "Thank you so much for talking to him...and for everything you do...his whole world changed when he saw you in those Marvel movies."

"It was my pleasure, you're raising a strong, young man." Sebastian responded as she ended their hug, turning to hug and thank Chris as well.

She thanked them again and walked back to the table with her family, receiving a hug from Peter.

The men sat back in their seats next to Rylee and Alexa. Rylee placed her hand onto Sebastian's leg and squeezed it lovingly. "That was amazing Seb."

"Yeah, that's my favorite part of the job." Sebastian smiled.

Shortly after, their food was finished, their check was paid, and the four made their way towards the exit when they walked past Peter's family's table.

"Bye Bucky! Bye Cap!" Peter yelled enthusiastically, waving wildly.

"See yah Peter! Remember our promise!" Sebastian waved and winked as Chris waved goodbye as well.

Peter nodded fiercely. Peter's mother thanked them again, wishing them a good night as they made their way out the door into the hot August evening air.

——————————

Sebastian dropped Chris and Alexa off and Rylee and him continued on the way back to their apartment. There was a comfortable silence and then Rylee looked over at Sebastian, "How do you do it?"

"Hmm?" Sebastian questioned, placing his hand on Rylee's thigh as he drove.

"You're such an inspiration to so many people...especially kids like Peter. I just can't fathom how you do it..."

Sebastian paused before he responded, thinking. "I honestly don't know?," he chuckled lightly, "I know that's such a boring ass answer. I've just been given this opportunity to be in the situation I'm in and I try not to take it for granted. If I can help someone get through their day, or help them crack a smile. I love hearing from people how Bucky's helped them cope. I've had so many people tell me I've helped them through a rough time or a character has and that's just such an honor, honestly."

Rylee nodded, soaking in his answer and squeezing his hand in her lap. She loved how caring and thoughtful Sebastian was. A lot of people think he has to stop and talk to fans but really, he thoroughly enjoys it. She leaned over to give him a quick peck on the cheek as he continued driving. He twisted his hand in her lap around to pick up her hand and bring it to his lips to kiss, setting it back down on his own leg.

Soon enough they arrived at their building and made their way up to their apartment. As soon as they got inside the door Rylee turned Sebastian around against the back of it and dove into kissing him.

He'd be lying if he said he was surprised at her abruptness. She had been eye fucking him half the night during dinner, whether she realized it or not. Without parting, he lifted her legs up around his hips.

He laid her gently on the couch, ending up on top of her, he pressed down to kiss her again, their lips intertwining perfectly. He broke away for a moment, kissing over her cheek and down to her neck, then down the open cleavage shown by her beautiful sage green wrap dress.

He reached down to pull her sandals gently off her feet, tossing them to the side as he kissed back up her legs, slowly tracing his fingers up the outside of them. He ended at her thighs, hovering for a brief moment. He pulled his hands and lips off of her and she groaned at the lack of contact.

She was about to sit up and look at him but she felt him reach for the fabric belt of her dress, untying it achingly slowly. He unwrapped the front of her dress and pulled down her panties, tossing them to the floor.

"God Seb, please." Rylee practically begged. Gripping the couch cushions. Sebastian smirked at her words, and took off his shirt, adding it to the now growing pile on the floor, along with his now kicked off shoes.

He climbed back onto the couch between her legs and dove back into kissing her, tongues melding in sync with one another. He slipped two fingers into her folds up to his knuckles, receiving a sinful moan from Rylee's lips.

"Already so wet, baby. Mmm." Sebastian commented as he pumped his fingers a few times, soon using his thumb to add pressure to her clit. Rylee gripped at the couch cushions again, arching her back into his touch.

Without wasting any more time, Sebastian hurriedly pushed down his boxer briefs and pants, pulling out his length and stroking it a few times, already unbelievably hard.

He looked down at her as he positioned himself at her entrance, pushing in slowly, both of them releasing a groan at the tightness as he fully seated himself inside her. He pulled her legs up behind his waist, as he began thrusting into her.

Rylee pulled him down for a kiss and reached one of her hands back to his ass, urging him to move faster. Both they're breaths quickened as his thrusts increased and moans filled the living room. Their bodies moved together as one and soon Rylee clenched tighter, feeling her orgasm rip through her from her head to her toes.

Sebastian thrusted a few more times as Rylee came down and he quickly joined suit, spilling inside her with a growly obscene moan. They rested their foreheads together, catching their breath, and sharing gentle tender kisses between one another. He pulled out slowly and laid back behind her on the couch, encircling her with his arm.

He kissed the back of her neck leisurely, anywhere he could reach. He leaned the smallest bit closer for a moment, whispering, "God, I love you so fucking much, Rylee."

"I love you too, Seb," Rylee sighed contentedly. Sebastian played gently with Rylee's hair as they stayed there together on the couch, fitting perfectly together.

A few minutes of comfortable silence passed and Sebastian felt Rylee twitch lightly under his arm. He sat up from behind her, buttoning his pants as he stood. Rylee woke for a minute when she felt him stand up from the couch, but she didn't move.

"Hey baby, come on. Let's head upstairs."

"Mmm good." Rylee answered unconvincingly.

Sebastian laughed under his breath and without missing a beat he scooped her up into his arms causing her to yelp in surprise. They made their way upstairs, Rylee laughing along the way and he gently set her on the bed.

He brought her over a pair of panties and a t-shirt to change into. He held up a "hold on" finger and jogged out of the room, grabbing Rylee's contact case from the bathroom for her. He brought it back and she plucked out her contacts quickly, thanking him.

While she did so, Sebastian changed out of his pants into a new pair of boxer briefs and he set the contact case on the side table, then slid into bed beside her. He wrapped a tight arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

Sebastian pushed Rylee's hair aside and placed a quick kiss on the back of her neck and they quickly caved to sleep.
