Avengers One Shots Part Two!

I'm a fool with (a goose and) a crush

Bucky quickly shut his phone off and went into the connected bathroom and immediately washed his hands.

He watched as the blood washed down the sink along with the flower petals. It was morbidly satisfying, watching the blood wash down the drain.

"This is nothing. I'm fine, I'm not coughing up fucking flowers." Bucky repeated to himself.

He turned the water off and dried his shaky hands.

"I'm not going to die because of a few measly flowers. I'm not." Bucky sank to the floor and leaned against the door. He stayed there for hours, staring into nothing and repeating the same phrase: 'I'm not.'.

Steve reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. Sam immediately clocked it and his eyes widened.

"Are you serious?" He asked, not letting Steve get a word in.

"Yeah, we've been dating for four years now. And we've been talking about the next step so I decided, why not tonight? On our anniversary." Steve said, his cheeks beginning to flush red.

Sam started to laugh loudly, the other patrons of the restaurant started to look over.

"Sam? What's funny?" Steve asked, confused at why his partner was laughing at something he thought was love.

Sam wiped his eyes and reached into his pocket and Steve smiled wide.

"We're idiots." Sam said with a smile on his face.

"Yes we are." The two exchanged ring boxes and put the rings on, both being a perfect fit.

"Hey Buckaroo? You haven't come out at all today and the only reason why I know you're still alive is because of FRI so you'd better thank her. Anyway, dinners in front of your door, it's some sort of pasta dish I think? Natasha made it, so it's probably good." Tony shouted through the door of Bucky's room.

Bucky heard a sigh then a clink of a plate being set on the hard floor.

"Just, put the plate back outside if you're not up to coming to the kitchen." Tony sighed and walked away.

Bucky stayed in the same position he had been in since 8am.

Bucky sought out Sam the next morning, he found him in the kitchen with no one else in sight.

"Hey Sam?" Bucky asked, putting his still full plate of dinner on the counter and getting a new cup out of the cupboard.

"Oh hey Barnes, heard you weren't feeling too good yesterday. You doing better now?" Sam asked.

Bucky nodded. "Yeah, just had some flashbacks. But I'm all good now." He lied.

"I was actually wondering if you wanted to spar later today? I need to work on my hand to hand."

"Yeah, that sounds great. What time?" Sam asked.

"Like 2? I'm not doing anything today really so I don't mind."

Sam finally turned around to look at Bucky. And that was when Bucky noticed the ring on Sam's left hand. On his ring finger.

"What's that?" Bucky asked, knowing deep down what it was.

"Hm? Oh, me and Steve finally got engaged last night. We both proposed at the same time." Sam said, smiling at the memory.

Bucky inhaled sharply.
