"Why don't you tell us about where we're going?" Sam asked, trying to get back to the mission at hand.

"I'm sorry, I was just fascinated by this. I don't know what to call it, but this part seems to be important. y/n y/l/n" Zemo pulls a small brown notebook out of his novel. Your eyebrows knit in confusion at your name being read off of the page.

"If you touch that again, I'll kill you." Bucky warns, rushing out of his seat to hold Zemos neck in his metal arm as he takes the book back.

"I'm sorry. I understand that list of names, people you've wronged as the Winter Soldier." Zemo speaks.

"Don't push it." Bucky glares back over to him after taking a seat again, avoiding eye contact with you.

"Bucky?" You asked, he just looked at you with sorry eyes.

"I've seen that book, it was Steve's when he came out of the ice. I told him about Trouble Man, he wrote it in that book. Did you hear it? What'd you think?" Sam questions the angered man before him.

"I like '40s music, so..." Bucky trails off. You smiled as you remembered dancing around to music with your two favourite boys.

Flashback

"So you put your hands here, I take this hand and we dance" Bucky holds one of your hands in his as your other is placed on his shoulder. You two begin to sway along with the music playing softly behind you. Bucky had wanted to go out dancing when you and Steve revealed that you didn't know how. This came as a shock to the ladies man as he instantly decided to spend his Saturday night teaching you both.

"See, now you're getting the hang of it" Bucky smiled down at you as a faint blush creeped onto your cheeks. "Now I'll let Steve step in" the boy took a step back as your other friend stepped up to you. You reset the position to work with Steve and you two started to sway like Bucky had shown you a moment ago.

You had tripped over a rock and pulled Steve down with you as you crumbled to the ground. "Ow" you groaned, pushing the blond off of you.

"Steve, I don't think you are cut out for dancing" Bucky laughed as he stood over the blond, helping him to his feet. "Y/n though, you have potential" he holds a hand out to you.

"Thanks, but I think I'll stick to not dancing" you laughed, accepting his hand and jumping to your feet as he strongly pulled you up.

"You didn't like it?" Sam gasps, pulling your thoughts back to the conversation on Marvin Gaye.

"I liked it."

"It is a masterpiece, James. Complete, comprehensive. It captures the African-American experience." Zemo gives his opinion.

"He's out of line, but he's right

"He's out of line, but he's right. It's great, everybody loves Marvin Gaye."

"I like Marvin Gaye." Bucky shrugged, not seeing the big deal.
