'Buck?' You say sleepily but confused as you walk down the stairs rubbing your eyes.

'Hey!' Bucky walks over to you, pulling you into a tight hug

You laugh and push him off 'What's going on? Where's Steve?'

'Oh! Steve?'

'Yes. Steve, you know, the man who's house this is? Your bestfriend' You frown.

Bucky was always smooth with lying and getting out of messy situations, but for some reason his mind went completely blank.

'He uh. He went to get milk'

'Milk? Seriously Buck?' You tut, before walking over to the fridge and getting out a full pint of it. 'Bucky, tell me what's going on'

'I can't' Bucky gasps out.

'Bucky!' You shout. More annoyed now. 'Where is Steve?! What aren't you telling me! Where did he?'

'Hey!' Steve bursts through the door flustered 'Is everything okay?' He asks. Looking between both you and Bucky. Bucky looked like a dear in headlights. You looks relived but concerned.

'Steve!' You exclaim in one big breath. Walking over to him and wrapping your arms around his neck. Pulling him into a warm embrace. 'Where did you go?'

Bucky mouths a 'sorry' at Steve and Steve sighs before pulling you away.

'I Uh, I had to do something important' Steve takes your hand and kisses it 'Trust me Daisy'

You nod and gulp, the panic residing now you know Steve is safe 'Always'

You turn back to Bucky and walk over to himX poking him in the chest 'You're an awful liar James Barnes'

Bucky smiles before pulling out the old wooden monopoly set from behind him.

'Ready to get your ass beat?' Bucky teases.

You smirk and take the game form his hands. Racing to the table to set it up 'You are SO on!'

A couple hours pass and you can't help but sigh.

'Buck, admit defeat so I can make some dinner! I've clearly beat you!'

'No. I will not let you win again!' Bucky whines.

'Buck, you're bankrupt!' Steve chips in.

The three of you burst into laughter and Bucky groans in frustration 'How do you keep winning Daisy?!'

'My dad taught me how to play when I was younger' You smile sadly. Rethinking the memories. 'He use to pretend my $10 bills were $100 so I could win'

Steve kisses your forehead as a tear fills off your cheek.

'Daisy I...'

'No Buck it's fine, happy memories. Happy tears. Promise' You stand up and walk to the kitchen, 'Meatloaf good for dinner?' You call out to the boys.

'Sounds great' Steve agrees.

'Good with me!' Bucky calls out.

As you get to work distracted in the kitchen, Steve and Bucky put the game away and Bucky nudges Steve 'So...did you get the ring'

Steve beams, before pulling out the small box in his pocket, hunching over so Daisy can't see and opening the box to reveal the ring. Bucky's jaw hits the floor 'Steve!' He gasps excitedly.

'Guys? Everything okay?' Daisy calls out.

'Y-yeah!' Steve shouts back before quickly shoving the nod back into his pocket.

He slaps Bucky across the arm and scowls 'What the hell is going on with you man!'

'I don't know!' Bucky admits stressed. 'I'm just so excited for the both of you!'

Steve smiles I relied before Bucky pats him on the shoulder.

'I'm so proud of you man, when are you going to give it to her?'

Steve shakes his head conflicted 'I don't know, I want the moment to be real, I don't want anything over the top, but it certainly needs to be a MOMENT, you know?'

'Not really' Bucky admits defeatedly 'You know I've never exactly had any sort of relationship. Just hookups' Bucky shrugs.

'There's someone for everyone Buck, I know there is'

Bucky rolls his eyes and laughs. 'You're so Cliché!'

Daisy comes over to the dinner table and places the meatloaf in front of the boys

'What you guys talking about?'

'How cliché Steve is!' Bucky blurts out. Making Steve go red.

'Huh! Captain Cliché' You tease. Before leaning in and gently kissing him on the lips.

Steve laughs and Bucky frowns 'Oh SURE! Daisy can call you that but I can't!'

The three of you burst into laughter before tucking into your food.

This was the most content you had felt since you're father passed.
