"Come on!" Clint yelled as he cushioned himself between Y/N and Tony, clutching a box of popcorn for dear life as hands flew down to grab handfuls of the salty kernels, "Otherwise we're gonna start the movie without you!"
"I'm coming!" Sam called back from the kitchen, voice muffled as his face was stuffed with candy, "Gimme a sec!"
Clint grinned from ear to ear and snatched the remote off of Nat, "Nope!" And clicked 'play'.
Immediately, the Star Wars theme screamed out of the surround-sound speakers, making everyone jump. Steve's grip on Y/N's hand tightened for a second as surprise took hold of him and she looked up at him, a cheeky smile playing on her lips.
"What?" He whispered, his brow creasing ever so slightly as he saw her knowing grin.
She lifted a hand to the top of his head and when she retracted it, he saw a kernel of popcorn resting in the palm of her hand, "Popcorn in your hair."
He let out a soft snort of laughter and pressed a kiss to her cheek, inches away from her lips, "Thanks."
"No problem," She murmured back, eyes bright, as her hand crept up and cupped his jaw. She brought his head down to kiss him, her heart all a flutter as she looked at his soft lips.
They received a tap on the shoulder from Nat and when they broke away and looked over at her, she raised an eyebrow and scrunched up her face, a way to tell them to get a room.
Y/N stuck her tongue out at her and flopped back into her sitting position on the sofa, cuddling up against Steve as they focused back on the TV.
Bucky hadn't been too sure on how to react when Y/N offered for him to join their movie night. So he said yes. He liked seeing how happy she was whenever he agreed to be more social with the rest of the team. He even agreed to join them every morning to train in the gym, though he kept to himself in a corner of the hall, so as not to bother their actual training.
Somehow, in the process of trying to find a comfy seat to watch the movie, he'd ended up beside Tony and Sam both of whom were taking up as much leg space and overall body space as they could without it being super evident, so he was now squished between the two men as he watched people dressed in long tunics fight one another with laser swords.
Sam seemed to hate him. Bucky wasn't too sure why, but the man had a vendetta against him, a subtle one, but it was there nonetheless. He could see stink eyes.
Speaking of Sam, the guy was jamming his elbow as far into Bucky as he could, and Bucky suspected it might even be happening on purpose.
He leaned back to look at Y/N and Steve and he smiled at the couple, who were basically sitting on one another as they curled up together, watching the movie absent-mindedly, letting their fingers trail and draw little circles on each other's legs and arms.
A sense of longing washed over him, and he sighed, shifting in his place. Back before everything had gone wrong, he'd known what he wanted. Or more or less what he wanted. Now...he wasn't sure if he'd ever be allowed to have that kind of life, something calm and domestic.
Ow!
Sam had dug his elbow further into Bucky's side. The dark-haired, stormy-eyed man shot a nasty look at the ex-war veteran's way. Stop. It.

"What did you think of the movie?" Y/N asked, later on, her head resting just above his heart, so she could hear the rhythmic palpitations.
Steve hummed, and she could feel the vibrations against her head, "It was...interesting."
Y/N brought her head up and shot him a smirk, "How so?"
He shrugged, "I don't know...I liked it though," He admitted.
A sly smile crept up her face and she swung a leg over his waist, straddling him, then started drawing patterns across his chest, "You liked it, huh?"
"Yeah...You said there were more films?" Steve questioned, his face tingeing pink as her hands roamed over his body.
"Uh-huh," She replied, absent-mindedly, resting her forearms on his chest, "About seven more, why?"
"Maybe...maybe we could watch them?" He enquired, his cheeks now bright red and the flushed scarlet colour was travelling, now, to his ears.
"Of course." Y/N laughed softly, capturing his lips with her own, "I love that you're a little Star Wars geek."
Steve sucked in a breath as her lips trailed down to the curve of his neck, pressing gentle kissing in a line against his skin, and his arm wrapped around her waist. He rolled her over, and her legs encircled him, bringing him closer.
He kissed her lips and when they parted, it made a loud 'popping' sound, making them burst into a fit of giggles. Y/N tucked her face into the crook of his neck as she laughed, her body shaking as a wave of giggles catapulted through her. Her legs went down from his waist and they unravelled themselves from one another, gasping for breath as they snickered.
Y/N caught her breath, and sidled herself right beside Steve, brushing her lips against the line of his jaw, whispering a 'goodnight' before her eyelashes fluttered closed and she fell asleep.
Steve raised an eyebrow at how fast Y/N had gone to sleep.
"Goodnight," He whispered back, spooning her as his arms enveloping her into a warm hug, her back pressed against his chest, and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
~~~
"Stay safe," Y/N told Steve, seriously, her hands smoothing out the thick material of his suit, brushing against the star-emblazoned on his chest, "Don't lose your head in battle, keep all eyes and ears open, got it?"
He gave her a crooked smile, "Yes, sir!" And gave her a salute. All he got in reply was a dirty look, "Don't worry, Y/N," He assured her, "I'll be fine...don't worry about me, focus on Buck, 'kay?"
"I can't not worry about you," She replied, "You're the person who throws himself off a plane without a parachute, remember?"
He rolled his eyes, "I'll be back in a week, maximum. I..." I love you "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too." She pressed a kiss on his mouth just as Sam and Nat called for him to hurry his ass up, "Now go, you don't want to piss Nat off."
Steve laughed and jogged up and into the jet, shooting everyone on the jet stink-eyes as they made fish faces and made popping, over-exaggerated kissing noises.
"When's the wedding, cutie pie?" Sam teased, winking at him, as Nat cackled.
The redhead snorted, "Bold of you to assume he's gonna have the guts to ask her to marry him. I heard through the grapevine that Y/N had to ask him if it was okay to kiss him again."
Sam choked, "No...really?" And Nat gave him a laughing, teary-eyed nod.
Steve rolled his eyes, huffing, "You're all immature."
"Aw..." Nat hip-bumped him on her way to the cockpit, "Maybe, but at least we're not holding up everyone else."
"Two minutes!" Steve called, "It was only two minutes!"
Nat snorted and exclaimed, her voice a little faint from where she was, "It's always two minutes, lover boy!"
