Adventures in Babysitting

Pairing: Florist!Bucky Barnes x Female Reader Summary: You learn something sweet about Bucky when you have to babysit at the last minute. Word Count: Almost 2k Warnings: Fluff, self-doubt, crying baby (is that a warning), slight feels (it's me), Bucky Barnes (he’s a warning, okay?). A/N: @christywantspizza , thank you for the wonderful request for our florist and just being awesome. Hope you like it! ❤️ Not beta read and written on my phone, so any and all mistakes are my own. Banner and moodboard by yours truly. Divider by the lovely @firefly-graphics. Please follow @navybrat817-sideblog for new fics and notifications. Comments, reblogs, feedback are loved and appreciated!

You consider yourself to be a smart and capable woman. You handled most issues with grace and a level head when they came your way. Ruth leaned on you more than once when problems came up during her wedding planning. It meant a lot that she and others could count on you.

Which is likely why your neighbor, Ava, came to you for help.

"I'm so sorry to bother you. I know you don't know me very well."

The poor woman tried to compose herself as she rocked her five month old baby, Harper, in her arms. They hadn't lived in the area for very long, but Ava was polite when you saw her. You always stopped to chat with her for a minute and made silly faces at the baby. It was sweet.

Seeing her in your doorway in tears almost made you tear up.

"Are you okay? Is Harper okay?" you asked, rushing to get her a tissue. Just because they looked fine physically didn't mean they weren't hurt. "And you aren't bothering me."

"We're fine, but it's a family emergency," she told you as fresh tears fell, wiping her eyes as she balanced Harper with one arm. "I'm sorry to ask, but would you be able to watch her? Hopefully no more than a couple of hours? I've tried calling everyone else and I can pay-"

"I can watch her," you said, holding out your arms. You didn't have anything else going on and you wanted to help her. "You just take care of what you need to do."

"Oh, thank you. Thank you," Ava said, smiling through her tears. She handed you the diaper bag before you carefully took Harper. "I owe you one."

"No, you don't. Just take your time and be safe," you urged, smiling down at the baby. You were glad she was at least somewhat familiar with you. "Does she need a bottle?"

Ava quickly explained that you would need to feed Harper within the next twenty minutes. She left instructions in the bag with how much to feed her, along with diapers, wipes, burp cloth, extra onesies, a blanket, and her teething ring. She also had your number to keep you updated if she would be longer than a couple of hours.

"Thank you again," Ava said, giving her baby a kiss on the top of her head. "Mama loves you. I'll be back as soon as I can."

You gently shut the door with your foot once Ava left, smiling wider when the baby cooed. "We're going to have a lot of fun, aren't we?"

Harper wouldn't stop crying.

"Do you want me to put you down?" you asked, carefully placed her on her back. You winced when she let out a louder cry. "Okay, okay. Bad idea. Sorry," you said, picking her back up.

You gave her the bottle exactly as instructed. You burped her afterward. She had a fresh diaper. She wanted nothing to do with her teething ring. Soft music didn't calm her down and she wouldn't sleep.

What am I doing wrong?

"You miss your mama, don't you?" you asked as you tried to rock her.

More tears rolled down her cheeks as she cried louder, making you wince again as the sound echoed in your ears. You began to walk around the room, doing your best to soothe her. Admittedly, it had been years since you babysat, but you were usually able to keep most babies happy. Why couldn't you do the same with Harper?

"What can I do?" you asked yourself, taking a deep breath when your phone rang. "Shh, shh, it's okay," you said softly, keeping Harper against your chest as you answered.

You didn't even bother to see who called when you put it on speaker.

"Hey, Petal," Bucky's voice happily rang out. "I'm leaving the shop and I was-"

Harper wailed before he could finish his statement.

"Is that a baby?" he asked after a beat, clearly confused. You didn't blame him. You hadn't had a chance to message him that you were babysitting. "Is everything okay?"

"It's my neighbor Ava's baby. She had a family emergency and she asked if I could watch Harper. Bucky, I can't get her to stop crying," you explained, almost in tears yourself. "I-I don't know what to do."

Something had to be wrong with you if you couldn't calm a normally happy baby.

"I'm on my way, okay? You got this," he promised, his tone gentle, but not condescending.

"Okay. I'll see you soon," you smiled for his sake before you hung up. "I got this."

Harper sobbed as you began to walk again.

I don't got this.

Bucky took the crying baby from your arms the moment he walked through the door. There was no fear in his eyes when he looked her over, only concern. He gave you a once-over, too. You probably looked terrible.

Can't call me perfect anymore.

"I fed her, burped her, changed her, tried to put her down for a nap, walked around with her," you told him, watching as he slowly put his hand on Harper's tummy. "Maybe she just doesn't like me?"

"I don't think it has anything to do with you," he said, cooing as he walked over to the couch. "You love Petal, don't you?"

You knew deep down there could be many reasons why Harper was upset, but you wished you knew how to help.

Bucky took a seat and furrowed his brows when he felt her tummy again. "How long ago did you feed her? Did she drink her whole bottle?"

You checked the time. "Over thirty minutes ago. And she drank the entire bottle pretty fast."

"Should be plenty of time to put you on your tummy, right? Poor baby. You're probably still a little gassy, aren't you?" he asked, smiling tenderly as placed her across his legs on her stomach.

You watched in fascination as Bucky began to slowly rub her back. Harper's cries began to decrease after a minute and you finally felt the tension leave your shoulders. Seeing your beefy florist calm an upset baby was a sight to behold. The ease at which he handled her made your fall in love with him a bit more. Especially since you knew how far he had come with his metal arm.

I think my ovaries clenched. How is that possible? No, focus.

You swallowed the lump in your throat as Bucky began to hum. The sound seemed to soothe Harper even more. The cries stopped completely when she let out a loud burp.

"There. That's better, isn't it? No wonder you were upset. That was a big burp," Bucky said in a quiet voice, still making small circles on her back. "Let's see if there's anymore, okay?"

You sat down in the chair, wringing your fingers in your lap as Harper burped again. You should have known to try that. Why didn't you?

"Um, thanks."

You tried to smile at Bucky, but it fell flat.

He shook his head when he caught your frown. "Hey. Don't beat yourself up. You did everything right, okay? I don't know how gassy she normally is, but it could've been because she drank her bottle so fast."

Of course, he knew I'd mentally chastise myself.

You did smile this time. "How do you know so much about this?"

"Um," he shifted so he could readjust Harper and lay her against his chest. She looked so small in his arms, but perfectly content. "Becca was a colicky baby?"

"Was that a question?" you teased.

He blushed as he held Harper a bit closer when she yawned. "I'm kind of embarrassed because we haven't really talked about it," he began as you raised an eyebrow. "I've, uh, read a couple of parenting books and done research on babies because. Well, I might want to be a dad one day."

"You want to be a dad?" you asked, moving from the chair so you could sit beside him. You were careful not to jolt him or disturb Harper. She needed her rest. "And you took it upon yourself to research this kind of stuff?"

"Yeah, I did," he said, avoiding your gaze momentarily. Did he think this topic scared you or that you'd judge him? "I know some things about parenting can't come from books, but a bit of knowledge wouldn't hurt. I just want to be a hands-on dad if it ever happens, you know?"

The blush almost spread to his neck as he kissed the top of Harper's head. Somehow your boyfriend continued to find ways to surprise you and melt your heart. He deserved a family and all the happiness in the world.

"I think that's sweet."

"You do?" he asked, uncertainty in his blue eyes as he looked at you.

That look doesn't belong there.

"Yeah. You're always good with the kids in the shop and I don't know many guys who would take that kind of initiative. You really are one of a kind," you said, smiling when his gaze returned to normal.

He leaned his head over to brush his lips against yours. There was relief in his kiss and you returned it with your own. He saved the day and you were thankful he could be honest with you.

"I didn't want to freak you out," he said

You glanced at Harper, who had her eyes closed. She must have fallen asleep moments ago, either exhausted from her cries or soothed by the florist's warm presence. It could have been both.

She feels safe with you, Bucky. As any lucky baby would.

"I don't think you could ever freak me out, but we can discuss it more over dinner if you want," you said as you put your head on his shoulder.

"I'd like that," he whispered.

The soft tone had your heart skipping a beat. "Besides, you have the paternal instinct down pact. Bet that's why your hair is pulled back."

"It's from work, but I'll take the compliment. And you have a maternal instinct," he told you, making you snort in disagreement. "Hey, none of that. Ava trusted you enough to leave Harper with you and that says a lot."

"But I couldn't soothe her," you whispered.

"Was she happy before she was gassy?"

You thought about it. Harper was fine in the beginning and snuggled against you. She must have felt safe and happy enough in your home.

"She was," you said truthfully.

And I'd be upset if I was gassy, too.

"So you're fine," he smiled. "And you know what else is a good motherly instinct? Asking for help when you need it, like you did today."

He soothed both of us, Harper.

"But we don't need to talk about that now," he added. "I think you deserve a break."

You knew he was giving you an out in case the topic made you uncomfortable.

"We can discuss it over dinner," you offered, seeing the corner of his lip tug in a smile. "Thank you for taking care of her and being my hero," you said, closing your eyes and resting your hand on his chest beside Harper's head.

You pictured Bucky in his shop with a baby in his arms, wearing a blue shirt to match the onesie as he showed him or her all of the beautiful flowers with a loving smile. He even had his hair down in your daydream so your baby could play with it. He'd be so caring and proud. Everything you wanted and more.

"You'll make the best daddy one day."

After a moment, Harper's little hand wrapped around your pinky finger.

"And you'll be the best mommy, Petal," Bucky whispered.

If he was sure of it, so were you.

I love them! ❤️ Love and thanks for reading. ❤️

Petal and The Baby's Breath - Steve Rogers

Summary: For Week 4 of @the-slumberparty's Across The Universe Challenge I came up with Florist!Steve and Tattoo Artist!Bucky now I couldn't pick between either one so I've created an AU for the two of them with separate nicknamed female!readers. It's going to be Steve x Petal and Bucky x Cupcake. This is the second part of the multipart AU called Stencils, Bouquets & Icing.

A.N.: A big thank you to Navy and Roo for inspiring me to come up with an unexplored by me AU 💖💖💖💖💖

Warnings: fluff, some innuendos, slight angst, feels

Word Count: 2.2k || Dividers: @firefly-graphics

Stencils, Bouquets & Icing AU Masterlist || Main Masterlist

The neon sign flickers in the peripheral. Then stabilises, it reads ‘open’ with the O being shaped into a flower petal. 

Steve smiles at the sign, he absolutely adored it. The keys jiggle when he places them back against his hip. Scent of flowers greet him on his way to the cash register. 

Setting up for the day before he grabs the bucket and mop to clean up. A few appointments scheduled and three pickups. 

It would be comical at some point seeing a man of his structure, tall and muscled working on flowers. After the years he’s had Steve admires how delicate he can be with his calloused hands. 

The workstation is prepped and he brings in the flowers for the first heart shaped box arrangement. Lilies and daisies were requested. Along with a a scanned handwritten note placed onto the box. 

Steve’s humming is interrupted by the bell. 

“I'm along the aisle with the pink flowers at the front!” He calls out not looking away from the placement. 

Footsteps traverse along then a throat clears, his eyes meet ones that are trained on the box. You look up at him. His breath catches in the slightest. 

A smile takes over his features but you don’t reciprocate but his doesn’t falter. 

“Hi.” He greets. 

“Are you, Steve?” You ask, gesturing towards him. 

He watches your sleeve ride up and lines start at your wrist moving upwards, “I am, yeah.” 

“Bucky Barnes sent me. He wants his arrangement?” You inform and he nods, humming as he moves to the side out of view behind the floral divider. 

A few things move around, Steve’s hidden behind a large arrangement of sunflowers and baby’s breath.

“Will you be able to carry it? It's a glass vase. I told the punk to come and collect it himself.” He lowers it meeting your eyes yet again, it fascinates him how even amongst the dominant colour of them he finds specs of lighter shades. He has the sunlight to thank for that. 

You stare at the man, well Steve. You didn’t expect him to be this beefy man surrounded by flowers. Nor did you expect him to radiate sunshine that he’s surrounded with from the windows. 

When Steve frowns, your thoughts halt, why is the smile gone? 

“Oh um, I just have to take it to the tattoo shop. He said he was running late and you may have to go for some on-site thing? I don’t know… seemed very preoccupied.” You reason, shrugging, reaching for the vase. 

Steve’s hands are brushed by yours as the exchange happens. You take a deep inhale feeling the full weight. 

“The shops just down the road, I can—,”

“No, I can do it. Shop has automated doors and Dum Dum’s inside and yeah.” You cut him off. 

Steve purses his lips but then offers you a smile yet again, how the fuck is the room brightening the fuck up?

Your heart beats rapidly when he steps closer, something tells you it's not just because of the heavy vase. 

“Alright well, I’ll open my door, it's not automated.” Steve wants to smack himself. Of Course you know that. You entered the shop. 

“Thanks.” You nod, turning around and trying not to drop the arrangement. 

“You’re the new apprentice, right?” He asks, as he opens the door. 

You carefully step down, but your footing falters, Steve’s arm wraps around your waist. He steadies you. 

“Y-yeah. Thanks um, for yeah.” You stammer out. 

“No worries, you sure you can carry it, petal?” 

“My name isn’t, I’m Y/N—,” You pause when he looks at your head. 

“No, I um,” he reaches forth and plucks out the sunflower petal from the top of your head. 

“Right.” You nod, swallowing. You turn trying to speed walk back to the safety of the tattoo shop. 

Steve watches as you cross the abandoned shop between his and Bucky’s units. Till you head into the shop. He turns, heading back to the heart shaped bouquet he had to finish in an hour. 

He makes a mental note to pop by Bucky’s a little more often than he usually does, preferably when the brunette is off to his daily fixing of cake and coffee. 

Bucky walks over to you after a few days empty vase in hand.

You raise a brow. 

“Steve will come by later to collect it, I have the back tattoo client so I won’t be out.” 

“Did she like it?” You enquire while setting the newer designed vase to the floor so it doesn’t get knocked over. 

Bucky grins, then bites his lip as if to stop his happiness. 

On instint your eyes move towards the window that harboured the view to Cherry On Icing, “You have it bad, Boss.” 

He only dreamily sighs in response, “She loved them.” 

“He does, if only he would spit it out to her.” Dum Dum agrees from his station. 

Bucky shakes his head, “Old man you still look at your wife with the same loved up look from the wedding photograph. What are you teasing me for?” 

“What can I say? She’s still the fierce and stunning lady I fell in love with in my younger days.” He turns and regards you with a look that has you flounder. 

“Your generation doesn’t want to speak up at all about the way they feel. Just pine pine pine.” He continues to grumble. 

You look away, fingers drumming along the edge of the counter. Your gaze moves to Bucky. He looks down at his palms, gloves on. 

“Sometimes all we can do is pine.” He mutters before heading into the back area. 

A few hours later you look up from the design you were sketching for an upcoming consultation just as Steve beams at you from outside. 

“Hey,” Steve finds himself happier seeing you, he hadn’t seen you in a few days and a part of him missed you. 

“Hi.” You look back down at the sketch. 

“That looks good.” He praises. 

“It’s just a rough sketch…” you shrug off the praise. 

He hums in disapproval, you frown. 

“It doesn’t seem to be just a rough sketch.” He adds after noticing your expression. 

“I really want him to like my work, he’s one of few artists who I actually look up to.” You look at Steve, his smile is now softer and more fond for his best friend.

“It took him hard work and practice to get where he is, I’m sure if you have a similar approach towards being a hardworking person, you will succeed.” 

You ponder over his words, raising your non-dominant hand’s sleeve. Pointing out to a small tattoo of a wave inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's Under the Wave off Kanagawa. 

Then you take it higher to show him a similar tattoo that is much more refined than it’s former one, near perfect and the shading work is incredible. 

“I kept the first one too, even if it's shit. Always remember where I started from and this one reminds me of what I can do.” You roll the sleeve down. 

Steve nods, “You’re on the right track, Petal. Maybe one day you can ink me as well.” 

“You have tattoos?” The words leave your mouth with  breathless curiosity. He looks around in search and you recall the vase. 

You bend to retrieve it, Steve smiles yet again. 

“I do. Several by Bucky, Dum Dum and a few collected during travel.” He chuckles when you stare at him, “What the florist can’t have a tattoo? You wound me Petal.” 

The brightness in his eyes tells you he’s only teasing. You shake your head and roll your eyes at him. 

“Well, I’ll be on my way.” He taps the vase and turns away. 

“Bye Steve.” You look back down at the iPad, opening a new blank page to sketch upon. Something about the conversation sparked your creative flow. Maybe you could design something inspired by Steve. 

You wouldn’t share it, maybe just keep it tucked away, label it as Sunshine Man or something in relation to the brightness he brings in whenever he’s around you. 

“You know what?” You look up at him, his blond hair ruffles slightly in the wind as he stands between the door. 

“What?” You ask, ideas spinning in your mind as his neckline dips to the side and you catch the smidge unfamiliar ink on his chest. 

Steve shakes his head; wondering if he’d come off too strong. He needs to give it time, maybe allow you to know each other better. 

“I’ll ask you soon enough.” He waves at you, you do the same as he walks the path back to his shop. 

“Punk.” 

“Jerk.”

“Idiot.”

“Stupid.”

“Do they always greet each other this way?” You ask Dum Dum. He nods, looking back at the stencil he was sketching.

You look down at your own design, it has been almost a month into being here. You learned alot from Bucky and saw Steve almost daily. He always would make it a point to greet you and smile at you. Today seemed no different as he made his way to your station. 

Small conversations, always complimenting your work. 

Your craft was growing, hands steadier but there were still ways to go, currently you were working on a design to add to your own sleeve that Bucky would ink onto you. 

You wondered why amongst your mostly geometric preference florals began to bloom?

The answer was closer than you had believed, 

“Hi, Petal.” He grins, much to your chagrin the nickname stuck around. 

Your eyes lift to his baby blues and then to the tip of his ear. Standing up you reach for the tiny floret of baby’s breath stuck near his ear. 

A flush spreads across his cheeks as he sputters out a thank you. You twirl the flower between your thumb and index finger, the design completing itself in your mind. 

“Should I start calling you baby’s breath?” You tease, a half smile dancing on your lips. 

“Is that a smile I finally earned?” Steve knows his cheeks are red and your smile only warms his chest further. 

You laugh, “Only if I get to call you with a floral nickname.” 

��It's a bit of a mouthful.” He comments. 

“I prefer to have my mouth full.” You reply and Steve stares at you. 

The entire scenario in his mind shifts, from absolute softness to absolute filth. He leans against the workstation, then further, lips close to your ear. 

“Careful what you ask for Petal, may not be able to take it all.” Steve hears your breathing falter, he smugly grins, “But then again, I think you will take it all won’t you like a good girl?” 

His palm slides forward across your station, you look at his palm, he had placed it upon the cleaning rag that was still sort of wet and now gliding him forward. Shit. 

“Uh oh.” Steve loses his balance, taking you down with him, but he turns you in time to land on top of him. 

You groan as your forehead smacks against his cheekbone. He hisses. 

Dum Dum and Bucky peer over the counter. 

“You alright there?” Your boss enquires and you rub your forehead. 

“Yeah I guess, um.” You look at Steve to make sure he’s okay. 

“Yep, alright.” He smiles at you then winces, “Okay my cheek hurts.” 

“Sorry.” You mumble, carefully moving and he sits up with you. 

With the softest of touches you inspect the blooming redness, “Wait here.” You instruct him, with a pointed look and your index finger touching his jaw. 

“Petal—,” his protest dies when you pretend to cover your ears and walk away to the kitchenette area. 

Bucky chuckles and Steve shoots him a glare. 

Dum Dum rolls his eyes, “Just ask her, you oaf.” He chastises and Steve finds that his palms are very interesting. The older man shakes his head walking away. 

Bucky snickers and Steve shows him the finger that makes him guffaw. 

You eye your boss with curiosity but then as you peer out the window you know he would be rendered speechless in a few moments. 

“Okay now this might feel bad and then good.” You tell him, lightly placing the ice pack to his cheek. Steve winces then sighs as the cold takes away some of the sting. 

The pneumatic hiss has Steve turn his gaze to the door. 

“Watch how Bucky melts.” You whisper adjusting so the both of you have a good view. 

It was the baker and owner from the opposite side of the tattoo shop, her name was something else but you only could remember her as—

“Cupcake?” Bucky’s gaze widens when she enters and he fumbles to fix his hair. 

Steve chuckles and Bucky shoots him a glare. Then grins when he turns back to her. 

“Hi,” She says, holding up a package in her shop’s delivery box, “Um, you never um, cameby I thought you might be busy. I, I know it was just a little delay but—,”

“Oh no, I was on the way but Steve here fell for—with Y/N.” Bucky explains and your brows furrow at his slip up, turning to the man in question. 

“I um,” Steve’s hand covers yours. 

“Got your mouth full, baby’s breath?” You tease. 

“Plan to keep you full.” He counters, he notes how your pupils dilate, “However,”

Your chest deflates, maybe you shouldn’t have developed the crush on the sweet florist next door. 

“I’d like to take you on a date first.” Steve grins and you reward him with one of your gorgeous smiles. 

“I’d love that very, very much.”

Love in Bloom

Pairing: Beefy!Florist!Bucky x reader

Summary: Spring is the time for love. Maybe Bucky can finally confess his feelings for you.

Warnings: Pure fluff

           The aroma of flowers and soft rain filled Bucky’s nose as he entered his flower shop. A grin worked its way onto his face as he checked some of the growing plants. He did a routine check on the tiny sprinklers above them and then crouched to their level.

           “Looking good little guys.” Bucky said as he gently brushed his fingers over the tiny leaves. “Keep up the good work.”

           He stood back up before clapping his hands together. With a soft hum rumbling out of his chest, he got to work gently clipping flowers and arranging them for his deliveries before moving onto more arrangements to put outside the store. Spring was the best time for his flower business, and he loved seeing his customers’ faces light up when he gave them the perfect arrangement. A few customers trickled in and out, and he even managed to help a panicking young man with last minute anniversary gift.

           Bucky’s took a glance at his phone and realized it was time for deliveries. He gathered the arrangements and brought them to his car. He stopped by the hospital and dropped off some flowers to some of the patients. He dropped off some to a couple offices, a church, a wedding reception. He drove back to his shop to grab the last arrangement, preferring to walk through the park to get to his usual customer, you. He may have trimmed his beard this morning and did his hair in a bun like you said you loved, but nevermind that. It’s not like he wanted to impress you or anything.

           Bouquet clutched tightly in his hand, he started walking through the park. Birds were chirping sweetly and the trees in the park looked absolutely beautiful. He smiled when he spotted you, floral sweater and a pair of jeans adoring your body, you were laying in the grass looking up at the fluffy clouds. Bucky laid down beside you, the soft grass feeling soothing between his fingers. He turned toward you with a smile.

           “The flowers you ordered.” He spoke softly, gently moving them into your view.

           You grabbed them with a smile. “They’re beautiful, Buck, thank you.”

           You pressed a kiss to his check like you did every week he brought you flowers, and every week he couldn’t stop his cheeks from burning.

           “It’s nothing, doll.” Bucky said looking up at the clouds trying to keep his composure.

           You looked at his reddened cheeks and smiled. “It is something, Buck. You always manage to make such beautiful bouquets, that’s talent.”

           “Yeah, I guess so.” He mumbled.

           A couple of birds flitted above you and Bucky before chasing each other.

           “Aw, love it when they do that.”

           Bucky turned toward you again. “Chase each other?”

           You laughed. Gosh, he loved that sound. “They’re in love.”

           Bucky hummed. “Love, huh?”

           “Yes, love. You do know what that is, right?” You asked poking his ribs playfully.

           He chuckled. “Of course, I know what love is. It’s a feeling I’m very familiar with.”

           You sat up and looked down at him, your eyes locking onto his blue ones. “Ooh, does Buck have a crush?”

           Bucky felt a rush of heat to his cheeks again. Why was he like this? He sat up and exhaled.

           “Maybe?” He breathed out. “But I don’t know if she likes me back.”

           You pulled a couple leaves out of Bucky’s hair with a fond smile. “I’m sure she does. Besides, who can say no to you when you’ve got that cute bun in your hair?”

           A chuckle rumbled out of his chest and his ears turned pink. He might as well have “I’m Infatuated with YOU” slapped on his forehead.

           “I’m serious.” You giggled. “Besides, spring is the best time for love. I say go for it.”

           “Really?” He asked plucking some grass.

           “Yes.”

           Bucky took a deep breath. Okay, he can do this. “I like you.”

           You clapped. “See, you got it. Just do that.”

           His eyes crinkled as he laughed. “N-no, doll. I mean, I like you. You’re my crush.”

           Your cheeks warmed this time. “O-oh.”

           “You don’t have to feel the same way, doll. I—”

           You pecked his lips, causing the words to die on his tongue. “I like you too, Buck. Why else do you think I order flowers every week? Don’t get me wrong, the flowers are gorgeous, but I really just like seeing you.”

           “Springtime really is the time for love. Can I kiss you?” He whispered leaning closer.

           You nodded and he closed the distance. He let out a soft sigh as his lips touched yours and he pulled you closer. The kiss was cut short, however, when a low buzzing sound came closer.

           “Ah, bee!” You exclaimed jumping up.

           Bucky chuckled and shooed the bee away. “Guess that’s part of springtime love.”

           You both laughed and he grasped your hips. “Now, where were we?”

           “Bucky, you have your shop.”

           “It’s okay if I open back up a little later, perks of being the owner. Now hold still so I can kiss you again.” He said before locking his lips onto yours once more.

Fic Recs

Hello hello!! Welcome to my fic rec blog post :) You can call me P or Pear. I’m 24 and currently obsessed with A Court of Thorns and Roses and forever obsessed with Marvel. If you think there’s a fic that I NEED to read please drop a comment or a message to me and I will absolutely read it

Marvel

Bucky Barnes

Undisclosed by @pellucid-constellations

Beefy Lumberjack!Bucky with lots of good good angst and wholesome found family ish.

A World of Our Own by @shreddedparchment

Castaway AU. When I tell you I LOVE this fic. I’ve reread it probably over a dozen times. Reader and Bucky stranded on a deserted island just trying to survive.

Delicate Edges by @wkemeup

Biker!Bucky AU pretty short and it’s very cute. A bit angsty but not enough to make me want to punch my pillow. I love a florist x biker moment so this is good for that.

Love, Theoretically by @mypoisonedvine

Actually a Sebastian Stan AU which I don’t normally go for but I love this fic. A woman gets cheated on and moved to the Hungarian countryside and meets Sebastian the handyman (?Sort of?) who doesn’t speak any English. You’ll need a translator handy for this fic but it’s SO worth it.

Guiding Light by @wkemeup

Not an AU (honestly shocking for me) about the Avenger!reader getting kidnapped on a mission. Simple idea with soooo much angst and hurt/comfort to last you a lifetime. Really well written.

Sunrise by @wkemeup

Modern AU. WarVet!Bucky and Librarian!Reader. I love this story it makes my heart hurt in the best kind of way. Hermit Bucky meets his sunshine awwww.

Looped by @softlybarnes

Established relationship with Bucky. One shot (long one shot though). WONDERFULLY written. It’s about the reader getting stuck in a time loop and forgetting that she was ever in a relationship with Bucky. Angsty and fluffy.

Treacherous by @scrumptious-delusion

Outlaw!Bucky AU. I read this one over and over again. It’s soooo good. The perfect balance of spice and plot/fluff. Bucky is a famous outlaw and he shows up on reader’s farm looking for help. Amazing.

Heart and Soul by @all1e23

An ABO and AU fic. Bucky is a detective and meets his true mate (reader) who is going through with pressing charges against her past Alpha Brock who was abusive. Wonderful little story. Lots of detailed physical abuse situations so be wary if that is something that is triggering!

For the Love of the Game by @pellucid-constellations

CollegeAthlete!Bucky AU. Bucky is a baseball star and tbh I’ve been avoiding reading this one because it’s a college AU and normally I try to avoid those but I’m so glad I caved because this was SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD. It’s everything you want in a short 7 (I think) part series. Angst, hurt, comfort, fluff, pining all that jazz. Love love love.

Steve Rogers

What a World by @onsunnyside

Tarzan!Steve mini series with some big beefy protective cutie energy. A fav.

Pseudo Princess by @shreddedparchment

I-. This is a LONG monster of a series and I LOVED IT. It’s a Royal AU which I also love. The reader is a peasant that is tasked with marrying King Steven of Broklin. Honestly incredible writing and the plot had me shocked in a couple of places. Some smut and dubcon so be aware of that before reading if that triggers you! LOVELY story. I can’t wait to reread it.

Top Gun Maverick

Jake “Hangman” Seresin

I and Love and You by @halfway-happyyy

So ok. This is a one shot and it fucking wrecked me emotionally. I cried three times during it and took multiple breaks. It’s angst pure and simple. Hangman breaks his girlfriend’s heart. I hate it I love it. I’m punching a pillow that’s all bye.

They All Know, He’s in Love with You by @rolycolysficrecs

One shot soo good. Some fluff some angst because of miscommunication (my favorite). He thinks they have been dating for months and she thinks they’re just fuck buddies. Wonderful!

Bad Habits by @seasonsbloom

Holy shit this mini series was so good. It’s three long long chapters and just wonderfully written. One of the best sex scenes I’ve read yet. It’s about Amelia’s tutor who’s pretty shy? Maybe not like shy shy but she just has a lot of anxiety about things which the author did a great job at depicting. Awesome ending. Angsty, miscommunications, fluff, soft hangman, happy ending I love it.

Outer Range

Rhett Abbott

Branded by @3tabbiesandalab

Sooo cute! A bit of smut which is always a good time. Anti-Maria fic. Reader is Maria’s sister that’s always been pushed aside. It’s written very well and has a second part (love)

Published Book Recs

A Court of Thorns and Roses Series by Sarah J. Maas

Honestly I don’t think this one needs and explanation or a summary. Masterpiece. (Also got me back into reading published books!)

Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas (our lord and savior)

Again, no words need to be spoken. If you’re unfamiliar with these two series just know that TOG is more action focused and ACOTAR is more romance focused, but both are Fantasy Romance Novels!

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace

Hockey Romance book that has some WONDERFULLY explicit smut. It feels pretty long but you really do get invested in the characters. It deals with some mature themes like eating disorders so readers beware.

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair

It’s a Hades x Persephone book but like an AU not really a retelling. Persephone is a student studying journalism and wants to do an article on the elusive and mysterious club owner, Hades. Has on page smut (helll yeahhh) and honestly surprised me with how much I enjoyed it!

Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Forced proximity who. Not really smutty at all but what was there was pretty well written. An editor and I think a publisher (I honestly don’t remember) end up in the same small town. And they’re rivals! Gotta love a good ole enemies to lovers.

Currently Reading

fics that I love that are in progress

Bucky Barnes

Awake My Soul by @foreverindreamlandd

Zombie apocalypse AU. Only three chapters in so far but honestly sooooo good. I’m really excited to see where this fic goes.

Steve Rogers

Fools Rush In by @ronearoundblindly

It’s a huge series and right now I’m on The Dignity of His Choice which is where Steve fakes his death and doesn’t tell his wife (yikes.) Mega angst and I eat it up.

Bad Habits by @all1e23

A Biker!Steve AU motorcycle club fic that only has a few chapters but I am loving. We all know I’m a slut for a biker moment.

Jake “Hangman” Seresin

Sugar and Spice by @wombtotombx

Oooooooh it’s so good guys. The enemies to lovers slow burn is killing me. Only three chapters in so far but they are long and I am already just so invested. This is post Maverick mission which is cool, first time I’ve read a fic like that so far. Definitely recommend.

Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw

Grounded “Thunk” by @cherryblossom-enthusiast

Y’all. It’s so gooood. Only three chapters so far and the sexual tension is starting to fry my brain I think. It’s really well written. It’s between Penny’s niece (reader) and Rooster who hits her in the head with a football.

Plum tarts and red carnations

Pairing: Florist! Bucky Barnes x F! Reader

Summary: Bucky is enamored with one of the employees of the bakery in front of his store.

Category: Fluff

Warning:s some self-doubting thoughts and cursing .

Word count: 2.5k

Author’s note: I have been thinking about this since that one anon and thank you @buckycuddlebuddy because you helped to inspire me further with this. Also think of Bucky as Beefy because I'm a softy for a gentle giant. Comment and reblog pls and thank you!

“Damn Jerry. You’ve been growing nicely. A little bit more, and you will be ready to find a new home, bud.” Bucky whispered to the little sprout he was watering. Bucky loved his morning routine.

Before opening up his shop, he would check on his nursery. Water the plants in his greenhouse, checking them to see how they have grown. He liked talking to them; they never judged him or ignored him. He even named them. Sam would help, too, though he treated it more as a joke.

After checking on the nursery, he would focus on making bouquets and arrangements for the store. Nobody knew he was the one who made those beautiful arrangements, and he liked it.

It was like therapy for him. Matching the flowers and creating bouquets with meaning was a talent Bucky didn’t know he had. By this point, the shop was opened and ready for business.

While preparing a rose bouquet, he saw a woman in an apron running out of the new coffee shop from the table next to the cash register. Oh shit, she’s pretty. He thought. He kept staring at her and forgot the fresh roses next to him, grabbed one carelessly.

“Fuck.” He accidentally pricked his finger with a thorn. He applied pressure to his wounded finger.

“Oh, are you okay, sir?” The pretty woman from the bakery asked. Bucky didn’t notice her entering the shop, and now she was here. Looking disheveled but incredibly beautiful.

“Yeah, happens all the time. What can I help you with?” He said, trying to sound as composed as possible. He could hear Sam’s voice in his head. “Play it cool, Buck.”The woman let out a sigh.

“I’m co-owner of the coffee shop, and it’s our opening day. I was encharged of the decorations, and I ordered some flowers from this other place, but when they got here, they were horrible. Like really bad. And oh god, I’m rambling, but I need a brand new arrangement.” She said all in one breath. Bucky had to fight a smile from appearing. Adorable.

“It’s okay. What colors did you want?” Bucky asked. The woman smiled at him.

“We wanted white and purples. Something simple. But honestly, I know nothing of flowers. I don’t understand why Wanda put me up with this? Now we are late, and I still have to finish decorating the cupcakes.” She explained while Bucky started to search for the flowers in his shop.

“Lilacs, with white peonies and lavender roses, would make a nice bouquet. How does that sound?” Bucky showed her the flowers he was referring to. The woman gasped.

“Oh, they are so pretty! You, sir, are a genius.” She gushed, still looking at the flowers. Bucky felt his cheeks getting red from receiving praise.

“I can bring it to you,” Buckywhispered, afraid that she might not like that idea. “You know, because you still have some stuff to finish, so you can do it, and I’ll bring it to you in less than 10 minutes.” She looked at him and went to hug him. Bucky tensed, not expecting the hug, but soon relaxed.

“You are literally my hero. Just ask for Y/N,” She said, walking towards the exit. “Wait, what’s your name?” She added, opening the door to leave.

“Bucky.” Y/N smiled at him. “See you later, Bucky.”

Bucky has never worked on an arrangement as hard as this one. He was already meticulous, but he really wanted to impress Y/N. Can you blame him? The pretty girl needed his help, and he wanted her to be happy. He even added some baby’s breath and this new white ribbon that had come in for weddings. He was very proud of it but also very nervous.

With a deep breath, Bucky entered the coffee shop. A brunette was at the door, cleaning the tables.

“Sorry, Sir. We are still aren’t open.” She said. Bucky gulped.

“Uhm. I’m looking for Y/N.” He told her; she looked at the flowers in his hands and understood. She yelled for Y/N, who came out of the kitchen with icing on her check, giving him the brightest smile.

“Hey, Bucky! That’s beautiful! How did you make such a pretty arrangement in less than 20 minutes?” She grabbed the vase out of his hands and set it on the counter. Bucky blushed and scratched his neck, shying away.

“It’s nothing.. I’m just happy you liked it.”

“How much do I owe you?” She asked. Bucky put his hands up.

“Oh, it’s on the house. Don’t worry. Call it a welcome gift.” He explained; Y/N jumped and gave him another hug. This time Bucky wrapped his arms around her.

“You are the nicest person on this fucking planet. I have to make it up to you. What’s your favorite fruit?” She pulled away from him and looked at Bucky in the eye. Bucky felt his breath hitch, and his palms get sweaty.

“I-I like plums.” He stuttered. She gave him a big smile and handed him a cookie.

“Hmm, I can make something with that.” She winked at him.

-

“I still haven’t named you, but honestly, I don’t know. You look like a Janelle, but also, I feel like that doesn’t fit.” Bucky said to the new cactus that arrived yesterday, in the afternoon.

“I think she looks like a Lucille.” Bucky turned around and saw Y/N with a box in hand.

“Oh, hi.” He felt embarrassed. She had heard him talk to his plants. Not even Steve had seen that. It was his private thing.

“She’s cute. What type of cactus is it?” She looked at it, not looking weirded out or anything.

“It’s called a Bishop’s cap. They grow to be very pretty and sprout a yellow flower. Not very popular in the shop, but there’s this new cactus crazy going on, and I thought to stock up.” Bucky explained, putting the cactus down next to the others.

“Do you name all your plants?” Bucky gulped and turned around to face her.

“Yeah, and talk to them too.” Bucky fought the urge to punch himself. Why would he say that? Fuck, now she is gonna think he is a fucking weirdo.

Much to his surprise, she smiled at him. She suddenly remembered the box she brought and opened it.

“For saving me yesterday, I made you a plum tart.” She opened it and pulled out the tart. Bucky felt his heart beating faster, and his hands get clammy.

“You didn’t have to.” “Ah! I beg to differ. Everyone that walked into our shop loved the flowers. They were really something. Like I couldn’t stop looking at them. So I had to show you my gratitude the only way I know how. With treats.”

“I couldn’t possibly eat that all alone. Want to share?” Bucky asked, giving her puppy eyes so she wouldn’t say no.

“You drive a hard bargain, Bucky. Has anyone ever told you can get away with murder with those eyes?” Y/N joked.

“I think my grandma’ probably said it. I have some silverware in the shop’s kitchen. When you have to be at your shop?” Bucky said, signaling her to follow him.

“I’m on break—perks of being the boss.” She explained while Bucky grabbed a few paper plates, forks, and a knife. She grabbed the knife and cut a big piece, and gave it to Bucky. Then she cut a piece for herself.

Bucky took a bite and accidentally let out a moan.

“I take it; you like it.” She winked at Bucky. He diverted his gaze from her. Why the fuck did I do that? Bucky screamed internally.

“It’s delicious. I can see why your shop has been packed since yesterday. Reminds me of my ma’s.” Bucky admitted.

“I’m glad, but I can’t take all the credit. You should see the coffee mixes Wanda came up with. They are the real star.” Bucky smiled at her. Nice and pretty… She let out a cough.

“How did you get really good with plants? Like sorry for the personal question, but you have a talent.” She inquired.

“Well, uhm. After getting discharged, my friend Sam suggested that I take classes to handle stress and PTSD. One of the classes was gardening, and I just found it so calming. So I started taking more courses and learning ‘till I decided to start my own business. I don’t think I could ever work anywhere else.” Bucky noticed her staring at him. “What?” He said, smiling awkwardly at her.

“Nothing. Just thinking about how you are the nicest man I’ve ever meet.” She said nonchalantly. Bucky chuckled.

“It’s nothing major. I just found my calling.” Bucky stated.

“I feel the same. I baked a lot in college, and then suddenly I was like fuck, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.” She recalled. Her eyes glowed under the light of the kitchen.

“I felt the same way when I started this shop.” Bucky admitted, she bit back a smile.

“By the way, I like the name—Howling’s flowers. Oh, and how pretty this store is, it looks like I walked in a magical forest.” She complimented.

“I- thanks. I named my store after my squad and the decor well; that’s kind of an embarrassing story.” Bucky chuckled nervously. She rolled her eyes.

“Oh, please. I own a coffee shop named Magic café, and all of our items are named after magical things. I am the last person to judge.” Bucky bit his lip nervously while listening to her.

“I based it on The Hobbit. It was my favorite book when I was younger, and I just couldn’t imagine decoring this store anyway else.” Y/N looked at him with an open mouth.

“Okay, are you government android? Because you are friendly, great with plants and well-read. You are too good to be true.” She laughed. Bucky needs to find a way to blush less in her presence because this is like the fourth or fifth time it has happened.

They finished eating their pieces of tart and talking for a while. Y/N decided to go back to the shop, not realizing how much time she spent there. Before leaving, Bucky gave her some more lavender roses.

“Oh, Bucky, you don’t have to.” She protested.

“It’s just to add to the arrangement. I feel like it was missing a few more roses. You’ll be doing me a favor.” He assured. She grabbed the flowers and smelt them before smiling and giving him a small thanks.

Little did she know that lavender Roses mean love at first sight.

They played that little game for weeks, almost 2 months. Y/N would take her lunch break at Bucky’s shop. Feed him some food and pastries that she was experimenting with, and he would give her flowers.

“To put on the counter. Your store deserves fresh flowers every day.” Bucky claimed. But in actuality, all the flowers meant something. The white camellias? He was telling her that he admired her. The amaryllis? That he found you beautiful. The white and purple stocks? A silent plea for bonds of affection from your part. But he couldn’t bring himself to say these things out loud.

Speaking to Y/N in flowers was much easier. Maybe because she didn’t know and couldn’t reject him.

“Bucky, you gotta tell her, man.” Steve would try to reason with him. “She likes you; you like her. Just tell her that you like her or ask her out on a date.”

“You don’t get it, Steve.” Bucky would argue, which led to an entire discussion on how Bucky is being a coward that ended with him telling Steve and Sam to fuck off.

But they were right; it was simple. She has been an absolute doll with him. She doesn’t mind hearing his rants about the new book he read and helped him water his plants. She even bought waterproof labels to put their names on their planters. She even asked (more like demanded) Bucky to send her the pictures of every bouquet and arrangement he made. She loved seen his creations.

And he loved being her test subject. She would bring him new pastries to try. He was her official taste tester. Anything new in the store, Bucky had already tried it in every one of its variations. Y/N would speak to him of all of her special interests and all of her new hobbies. He had even met all her friends, and they loved him.

So why was this so difficult? Bucky groaned while arranging the flowers at the front of the shop.

“What’s got you all groaning and gloomy, Bucky-bear?” Y/N asked him. She looked radiant in her work clothes. Ugh, Bucky had it bad.

“Nothing, j-just thinking.” He nervously replied.

“Don’t overthink. You might over-heat your brain, bubs.” She joked, entering Bucky’s shop. And like the hopeless romantic he is, he followed.

“Soooooooo I have been trying out this new pasta recipe, and you are the only one I trust to give me the truth.” She said, opening the Tupperware she brought. Bucky’s heart fluttered at her words. He felt light-headed; maybe that’s why he couldn’t stop himself from opening his mouth.

“I like you.” He blurted out. He slapped his hand over his mouth. Y/N turned to him, widen eyes, and mouth gaped.

“Bucky, do you mean that? Because if you are playing with me, I will fight you with this.” She warned Bucky, threatening with a spoon.

“I like you a lot. Actually love you. I- that’s what those flowers meant.” Bucky explained. Y/N put down the spoon.

“What flowers?” She asked, in the softest tone he has ever heard her speak in. Bucky turned his gaze to the floor, embarrassed that this was his confession.

“All of them. They all meant love in one form or the other.” He admitted. Y/N stood in front of him and put her hand on his cheek. He felt his heart do backflips.

“What flower means I’m in love with you, Bucky?” She asked, caressing his cheek.

“Maybe red carnations.” He joked, leaning into her touch.

“I’ll ask this handsome florist with a heart of gold to make me a bouquet to give you.” Bucky chuckled while she let out a little giggle.

“I would love a bouquet, but I would much rather have a plum tart from the sexy baker on the store out front.” Y/N hummed.

“I think I can make that happen.” She said, pulling him closer. “Can I kiss you, Bucky?” She asked; Bucky could only nod.

She grabbed his face and pressed her lips against his. Bucky wrapped his arms around her, pulling her even closer, molding her body against him. Their lips gliding over each other smoothly, as if they were made for each other.

They pulled away to take a breath, and they both had the same dopey smile. Tarts and carnations. Who knew they mixed so well?

Bucky sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose, mentally ticking off one more thing on his checklist. He closed the shop a little while ago, but still had a couple of things to complete before he could leave. It was admittedly not the best day. Blame it on the rainy weather or just an off day, but it seemed like a portion of his arrangements underwhelmed his customers. And with the system going down temporarily, one of his deliveries running extremely late, and an employee calling in sick, he was going to miss his dinner with you.

"Sorry, Petal. I don’t think I’ll make it for dinner. I'll call you later." He sent, tucking his phone away before he could see your response.

It was the first time he had to break plans with you and it broke his heart a bit.

With another sigh, he took his ponytail out to rake a hand through his hair. He tried not to sweat the small things. Life was too short for that. Even with the shock of losing his arm, he did his best to look at the positive. It helped put him on the path that led to something he was passionate about. It was something that tied him to his past and would help define his future.

The best part of all was that it brought you into his life.

Bucky just wished you were there tonight. Not so he would complain or rant to you. He just wanted to see your smile and know there was something right about his day. But he kind of screwed that up by pushing off dinner plans.

Sorry, Petal. I’ll find a way to make it up to you.

He bent down to grab something behind the desk when he heard a knock at the door. "Sorry, but we’re closed!" he called out, not sure if the person standing there would even hear him.

"But I brought dinner!"

He jumped up so fast he had to grip the desk when his head spun. You smiled and waved through the glass as you held up a bag of food with your other hand. A true sight for sore eyes, you looked thrilled to see him and he was so entranced it took him a few extra seconds to go to the door.

"Okay, I know you had a long day and the back office is probably the last place you want to have dinner," you began as you went inside, your sweet and familiar scent washing over him like a soothing mist. "But I thought you could use some company and I brought your favorite."

He swallowed a little, touched by your thoughtfulness.

"Is that okay?" you asked when he didn't answer right away.

How did you know I needed you?

"Yeah, thanks," he whispered, gently stopping you before you could go to the back. "Wait. You aren’t upset that I couldn’t make it for dinner?"

He regretted asking when hurt filled your eyes. The last thing he wanted to do was imply that you would hold something like that over his head. After the kind of day he had though, he just had to be sure you were okay. Your feelings mattered to him.

"Bucky, no. I'm not upset. I know you didn’t push dinner off on purpose. I just feel bad that you didn't have a great day," you gently assured him, giving him a quick kiss. It wasn’t long enough for him. He wanted to get drunk on the taste of your lips. "Would you hold it against me if a meeting or something ran late and I had to postpone a meal?"

"No," he said, knowing you had a point. You were one of the most considerate people he knew, especially when it came to him and his feelings. He tried to give you the same consideration in return.

"Then don’t expect me to hold it against you. I know you and I know you would’ve come over as soon as you wrapped up here," you smiled, sneaking another kiss. "I’ll get this set up. Let me know if I can help you with anything out here."

He watched in awe as you went to the back office, his chest tight as he silently followed. You cleaned off a spot to spread out the meal and gave him another smile when you caught him staring. You were there for him and weren’t going anywhere.

Petal, what did I do to deserve you?

He wasn’t sure why he teared up. Maybe he wasn’t used to someone caring that much about him that they would spend the evening in the shop just to be close to be close by. He wanted to wrap you up in his arms and say in your ear how much you meant to him. He wanted to sweep everything on the floor and lay you on the desk so he could bury himself so deep you’d feel him days from now.

"What’s wrong?" you asked when he blinked away the tears, even though he knew you wouldn't judge if he cried.

He could show you the ugliest parts of himself and you would find a way to make them beautiful.

"Nothing. I was just thinking of how much you mean to me," he said in a quiet voice as he removed his apron and tossed it away. "How you mean everything to me."

"You mean everything to me, too," you promised, holding a hand out for him.

He took it without hesitation.

"Do you remember our first date?" he asked as he pulled you close. It seemed like yesterday he took you to the restaurant and held you in his arms for a dance, uncaring of who was watching. "I thanked you for taking a chance on me."

"I remember," you smiled, reaching up with your left hand to touch his cheek. "Shouldn’t I be thanking you for being the best boyfriend in the world?"

"Boyfriend," he repeated as he brought your hand to his lips, letting them linger on your bare ring finger. It didn’t sound right to him anymore. Not when he was meant to be more. "I’m going to be your husband one day, Petal. I’m going to put a ring on your finger and make you my wife. And I’m going to spend the rest of my life thanking you for being mine."

He already had the perfect ring.

"Bucky," you whispered when he brushed his lips against yours. "All that because I brought you dinner?"

He chuckled at the astonishment in your tone. "No. Just because I love you."

"I love you, too. And when you ask me one day, I’ll say ‘yes’," you told him before he swept you up in a deep kiss.

While Bucky didn’t have the ability to predict the future, he knew that the two of you were meant to be together. He would continue not to sweat the small stuff with you by his side. And maybe he could convince you to skip dinner and go straight to dessert. Because, besides your company, the sweet nectar between your legs was exactly what he needed after a long day.

Where do I get one? And how do we think he'll propose? Love and thanks for reading! 💙
