[WWII AU] you and your baby went to town
Waiting for Bucky's day off has been as difficult as waiting for Christmas used to be when she was a kid. And it doesn't help that they just don't seem to be able to manage time alone together after the mission – not enough of it, anyway. A few stolen kisses here and there are all she gets, even as she feels like she's burning up from pure want.
When he finally tells her, grinning, that he's gotten another R&R day, she spends the next few days in a haze of relieved anticipation. Not just at the thought of finally being able to touch him, but just because she loves spending the time with him. She knows it's a bad idea, knows it's only going to hurt so much worse down the line, but she can't stop herself, and she doesn't want to.
She doesn't ride with him into town this time. Instead, he'd told her to meet him at the little chapel he'd shown her earlier. Wilkins is happy to give her a lift, after she spends extra time and care on her hair and makeup and clothes – the civilian outfit he likes so much and which Lorraine had tried to ruin.
She's right on time as she walks into the little chapel and looks around for him. "Bucky?"

"Ever since I fell through that portal. But having you and Aunt Peggy and getting to work with the team... I can't regret any of it."
Sharon smiles over at him, warmly content. "You make me really happy. I just want you to know that."

She nudges her shoulder against his, teasing. "I couldn't ask for anything more."

"And the good news is, we don't have to leave this spot for any of them."

She kisses him again, sweet and lingering, feeling his pulse thrumming against her lips. "You realize it's going to be even harder trying to keep my hands off you now, don't you?"

She kisses his shoulder and looks up at him, savoring the way his eyes sparkle and dance. He looks so happy. Somehow, she's part of that. It's unbelievable. "Don't worry," she promises, stifling her laugh. "I'll protect you from Aunt Peggy."

Once she's finished her water, he tries to coax her to lie back on the bed with a sweet smile. "Come curl up with me, baby?"

"Will it hurt to talk about your home? I don't want to ask, if it is."

She shifts to her stomach, resting her forearm on his chest so she can lean her chin on it and look up at him. "What do you want to know?"
no subject
He considers for a second, then asks, "What are your parents like?"
no subject
She runs her thumb absently back and forth over his skin. "My mom's on about a million boards and associations and committees. She does a lot of fundraising for various causes. They both like to host dinner parties and go to the club and attend things like gallery openings and black-tie charity events."

"Sorry," she murmurs. "I know it's a lot. I was very privileged, growing up."

Her smile is a little wry, but fond. "And my parents are both great, but they never really understood me. I was pretty far from the daughter they thought they'd have."
no subject
"And sure, it's different from how I grew up, but it's neat to hear about. I'm glad you guys were comfortable."
no subject
"I know you've told me a little about your sisters already. Do you still live with both your parents?"
