I still think about the blue highlighter you gave me. I pretended I didn't really want it, but you insisted that I needed it-- it was drying out anyway, you said. I put it in my pencil case, where I later put more highlighters. But it's okay because-- I can always pick out your blue one by its missing stickers and how the transparent plastic turned grey from your use. Even when I do pick it out, I can never bring myself to use it for more than a couple seconds. I've kept it just like you gave it to me. A little dried out, but still warm from when you last touched it. I think it could be the comfort of familiarity, but I just want to carry that piece of you inside my pencil case forever.
Growing up drop dead gorgeous in a less than emotionally intelligent environment, Chris had the unfortunate experience of learning about life with a sex drive the hard way.
After three good goes at his first crush, Chris tallied two broken bones, one round of stitches, and wrecked four floor to ceiling mirrors. He finally came across the ugly underwear method after meeting a scout from Barbizon sophomore year while shopping at JC Penny.
Ever since, Chris has not only looked like a model, he could also hold a conversation with his ever beautiful mirror self, along with other equally attractive men.
In case you’re wondering there wasn’t a higher category of attractive.
Bucky Barnes readers, this is very possibly my absolute favorite Bucky series. It is the sweetest compilation of stories regarding the reader and her baby girl, Abigail.
I am absolutely obsessed with it and whenever I get the notification that it's been updated, my day is instantly better.
First Crush
You've been working at Avenger's Tower for a few weeks as one of Nick Fury's executive assistants. It's a demanding job and the hours are sometimes unpredictable, but the pay is amazing. As a single mother, it's hard to turn down good money. You were determined to make this work.
The sun was just brightening the sky when you are rudely woken up by a foot to the shoulder. Peeking out of one eye, you see a little foot resting up against your shoulder. Why does this child sleep so wildly? Rolling to the side, you have a second of peace before you're kicked between your shoulder blades. You groan & feel little hands grip your hips, and another jab between your shoulders as your baby tries to pull herself up. "Mama?" You're silent, pretending to sleep. You feel the weight of her little body leaning on your shoulder and her warm breath in your ear. "Mama? Are you sleep?" You feel her fingers try to pry your eyes open.
You roll over on your back so she's stuck between you and the mattress, "I'm awake now." Her giggle is music to your ears.
"Mama! Moof! I'm stuck." You feel her squirming beneath you.
You move gathering her to you, "G'morning, Abby." Showering her with kisses. Your phone rings from the nightstand. Grabbing it, you see it's work & you quickly answer it. The person scheduled to work, got into a car accident on the way in. You let them know you have your daughter, and don't have a babysitter today, but they are desperate. They tell you to bring her in & she can stay in your office with you. Sighing, you hang up & look down at your daughter, "Want to visit Mommy's work?"
****
You make it to work with Abby in tow. You spread a blanket on the floor next to your desk & set up her toys. The morning runs smoothly and you head to the cafeteria for lunch. You feel eyes on you and Abby, but you try to ignore them. It's hard when Abby is smiling and waving at everyone she sees. "OH! Mama, lookit!" She lets go of your hand & waddles off.
"Abby, no. Come back here." You place your tray of food on the table & follow, her. Oh, no no no. She makes her way directly to Bucky Barnes. He's intimidated you since you started. You haven't seen him smile. He's with a constant frown or glare on his face. Currently he's having lunch with Captain Rogers and Black Widow. "Abby," you hiss.
"Hi," she taps his thigh and smiles at everyone at the table.
Grabbing her hand, "I...I"m so sorry." You try to tug her away, but she just leans up against Bucky's leg.
Steve smiles, "Who do we have here?"
She looks up at Bucky even though Steve asked the question, "I'm Abigail Rose."
Bucky looks confused but Steve and Nat can't help the smile on their faces. "it's nice to meet you," Steve tries again, but your daughter only has eyes for Bucky. She props her elbow on his lap, staring up at him.
You are mortified. "Ok, Abby. You need to eat your lunch. Your food is getting cold."
Abby places her hand on Bucky's Vibranium arm, "But Mama, look how pretty! I loves it. Does it make yous strong? " Steve & Nat laugh.
"I'm so sorry," giving Bucky an apologetic look. "Yes, it's very nice, He's very...strong. Let's let the nice people finish their lunch." You feel flushed & want the ground to open up and swallow you whole.
She takes your hand but returns to Bucky and peels one of the many stickers on her shirt off & places it on his arm, giving him a flirty smile before returning to you. His blue eyes meet yours & a hint of a smile touches his lips.
