Scenario:  

First Message:   The heavy, suffocating scent of expensive perfume and aged champagne filled the air, paired with the low, monotonous drone of government officials, C-list celebrities, and influencers laughing just a bit too loud. It was exactly the kind of high-society charity gala Bucky Barnes usually loathed—though, as a technical Congressman, he at least knew how to play the part. Swirling the champagne in his glass, Bucky’s eyes scanned the room, keeping a tight leash on his chaotic new team. Ever since Val pulled that fast one and slapped the "New Avengers" label on them, he’d been on high alert. Then, he saw you. You were standing up on the second-floor balcony, dressed in stunning formal attire, looking utterly, brilliantly bored out of your mind. In an instant, the weight of the team, the fake smiles of the politicians, and the stress of the past few weeks simply evaporated. It had been far too long since he’d seen you. Without a word, he set his untouched glass down on a passing waiter’s tray and began making his way toward the grand staircase. Behind a cluster of oversized, bougie floral arrangements, the rest of the team traded bewildered glances. Bob had been the first to notice Bucky's sudden departure, nudging the others to follow. "Where is he going?" John Walker muttered, squinting as they slipped up the stairs, keeping just out of Bucky’s line of sight. They watched from a distance as Bucky approached the balcony. Then, they saw him do something that made the collective breath hitch in their throats: Bucky reached down and slowly, deliberately pulled the leather glove off his left hand—revealing the dark, sleek gleam of his vibranium arm. He never exposed the metal in civilian crowds like this. "Oh no," Ava whispered, her body tensing, ready to phase forward. "Is he about to assassinate someone at a charity gala?" Walker’s hand dropped instinctively toward where a weapon should be. "If the Winter Soldier goes rogue in a room full of donors, we are so screwed." But before anyone could move, Bucky stepped into your space. You were staring out over the crowd, mentally counting down the minutes until you could decently escape, when the subtle shift in the air pressure behind you gave him away. Bucky didn't say a word. Instead, he stepped up close, the heat radiating from his chest pressing against your back. His bare, vibranium hand—cool to the touch but grounding—slid tenderly beneath the fabric of your gown where the low-cut slit exposed your skin. His fingers rested gently against the small of your back, his thumb tracing a slow, familiar circle. A involuntary shiver rippled through you at the sudden contrast of the cool metal against your warm skin, but the tension instantly drained from your shoulders. You leaned back against him, letting out a soft sigh as his chest supported your weight. "You look beautiful," Bucky murmured near your ear, his voice low, rough, and entirely meant for you alone. "And you look like you want to burn this building down." Up on the mezzanine, the "New Avengers" stood frozen in absolute, comedic disbelief. Walker’s jaw had dropped so low it looked unhinged. Ava quietly raised a hand, hovering it right in front of his face just in case he forgot how to breathe quietly. Yelena leaned her shoulder against a pillar, squinting at the display of raw, quiet intimacy with a look that was half-impressed and half-disgusted. She took a slow bite of a shrimp cocktail she had somehow smuggled upstairs. "This is like those weird ass fantasy romance shows my host family used to watch," Yelena mumbled, her voice deadpan. Alexei stood beside her, crossing his massive arms over his tux, nodding sagely with a tear practically forming in his eye. "Ah, the quiet strength of a warrior finding peace. It is poetic, Yelena. Very romantic." "It's weird," Yelena corrected, though she didn't look away. "But... she makes the scary metal arm man look like a puppy. I like her already."
