THIS IS NOT A DRILL

SAM WILSON’S MOM’S NAME IS DARLENE AND I’D DIE FOR HER

Days Like This (Avengers+Bucky x Reader)

I skipped to another song as I layed back down on my sunbed, enjoying the sun warming my skin. It was a good day. We rarely had good days.

Tony had bought a yacht and he convinced us that we all should take a break to go on a little vacation. Everyone agreed, and I hadn’t seen any of them this happy in months.

Steve, Bucky, Sam, Peter and Thor were racing to see who could swim the fastest, Tony, Rhodey, Natasha, Clint and Bruce were at the bar preparing cocktails, Wanda and Vision were in the back of the yacht, watching the view. I was being me, laziest person in the team, laying down sunbathing with my earpods in.

“Thanks.” I said to Tony as he brought me a drink.

“You’re welcome,” He said as he threw himself on the sunbed next to mine.

“This is amazing.” I said as I took another sip from my drink.

I chatted with Tony for a while until Natasha called us to the water.

“Come on.” Tony said as he got up, everyone was now in the water, waiting for us to join.

“No-uh, I think I’ll stay here. I am getting really tan.”

“Come on (Y/N)!” Natasha shouted for me from the water.

“You can work on your tan after a swim, just get up.”

The reason I didn’t go in the water was that I actually didn’t know how to swim. When I was a little girl I had fallen into the neighbor’s pool and ever since that I would never go into a pool where my feet didn’t touch the ground and that I couldn’t see the bottom of. I knew it would sound ridiculous, I was a member of The Earth’s Mightiest Heroes but I couldn’t swim.

Tony kept insisting, “Tony…I- I don’t know how to swim.” I said quietly.

“What?” This is embarrassing.

“I-I am scared. It’s just that I almost drowned when I was a kid so-“

“That’s okay! This is the best chance you get to learn! We’ll teach you and you can overcome your fear. A good thing to cross off your bucket list.”

“I am good here. Thanks though.”

“Alright, no pressure.” He left and joined the others.

I put my earpods back in, laying down again. I closed my eyes, trying to relax, Just when I was about to fall asleep, I felt someone standing above me, blocking the sun.

I opened my eyes to see Bucky. He had just gotten out of the water.

“Hi honey-“ I noticed he had a evil smile on his face, and the others were silent, watching us. They looked like they were trying not to laugh.

Fuck. He was going to grab me and bring me to the water. I knew it.

I jumped up screaming, “No! Don’t you dare- Bucky I SWEAR TO GOD NO!” I tried to run from him but he caught me by my waist, wrapping his arms around me and picking me up. As he walked towards the edge of the yacht, I kept screaming and asking for others to help. He held me down and jumped inside the water, with me in his arms.

Luckily, I managed to inhale before we hit the water and hold my breath, but I was still terrified as fuck when the cold water hit my warm skin. When we got on surface again, I wrapped my legs around his torso and hugged his head, not knowing what to do. I started freaking out, there were even fish and all.

“Oh god-OH GOD! GET ME OUT, I-“ moved around in panick, splashing water all around me including his eyes. He tried to hold me steady, “Calm down babe, hey,” He held me gently and I just hugged him, I felt like my heart was about to pound out of my chest.

“I would do this sooner if I knew you would be all around me like this,” He said with a smirk.

“Now is no time to joke Barnes! I hate all of you.”

Everyone tried to calm me down and saying it was okay. They insisted that they could teach me how to swim, I really just wanted to go back to safety in my sunbed. But they wouldn’t let it go, so I had to say yes.

Natasha and Sam showed me how to move my legs and arms, I listened like a little kid.

“Okay, now try it. I am letting go.” Bucky said but I panicked, hugging him tighter, “NO!”

“Ssh it’s okay. I am holding you-fine.” He put his hand on each of my body, and I practised how to move my body.

“You’re ready. Just try to swim towards Steve, I’ll get you if something is wrong.” Bucky said after a while of me practicing.

Everyone cheered for me as I tried to encourage myself. Steve opened his arms, he wasn’t even that far but in my eyes it was really scary.

“Okay, here I go.” I said and Bucky let go. I moved my arms and legs fastly in panick, trying my best to swim towards Bucky.

Sam, Natasha, Clint, Tony and Thor clapped for me as I did my best to swim as fast as I could -I was ridiculously slow-.

When I finally reached Steve he let me hold onto him, I was out of my breath and my heart was pounding. After I rested for a minute.

“Okay now, swim towards me!” Natasha said and I did, hugging her.

I swam towards everyone so I could practise.

“You’re doing great!” Wanda stated when she let go of me and I swam back towards Bucky.

I had gotten tired and he must have realized, he swam towards me too and pulled me in his arms.

“Thanks guys, this is not so bad, I guess.”

We hanged out for a while in the water, then everyone except me and Bucky went back in the yacht.

He swam a little further from the yatch, to a spot no one could see us.

“You trying to take advantage of me, Mr. Barnes?” I asked playfully before resting my forehead against his.

“You caught me.” He said with a smirk before locking his lips with mine.

It was a slow, passionate kiss, I ran my hands through his wet hair as his hands rested on the back of my thighs.

We were really enjoying that moment before our team mates, the actual 5 year olds decided to splash cold water at us from the yacht with a big water gun.

I screamed after we pulled away, “TONY I SWEAR TO GUN I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU WHEN I GET BACK UP THERE!”

After that, the water fight began, and it lasted pretty much our entire vacation. It was a huge mess, but we all loved it. Those couple of days were the kind of days I would just look around and think to myself; I am happy. I love this family, I am happy with my life. Our lives always had been tough, but dayslikethis lighted it up.

Clint: Please don’t go see this thing

Sam: I will see it and force Bucky to come with me

After the show

Bucky: Look how they massacred my boy

Kiss for Captain America ✨

Miss them

Here, I remade the creepy Drake meme with a falcon because Drake is a CREEP and falcons are not. Feel free to use.

The world is an awful, awful place at the moment… but at least I got to watch this very unexpected falcon do yoga mere blocks from my house today.
