bucky arrives home to see cobwebs, pumpkins and ghastly decorations lining the streets for halloween- a holiday he's still getting used to. but when it comes to the children in costumes, bucky can't help but have a soft spot for some of their costume choices. (1.2k)
idea submitted by @backoffbucky - it's just too wholesome and perfect for Halloween not to write!
warnings - none, just fluff

It'd been a long week for Bucky, but he couldn't be happier knowing he was finally heading over to yours. He could already smell the freshly baked cupcakes, the coffee you wake him up with and the lavender dusted over your pillowcases.
Hearing his phone ringing in his pocket, Bucky lifts it up to see a goofy photo he took of you illuminating his screen. "Hey, doll," He answers, listening to you huff through the line before answering. "everything okay?" Bucky adds, trying to hide is minor concern.
"Hmm?" You mumble to yourself, turning to retrieve your phone that remains on loudspeaker whilst pouring various sweets into bowls. "Sorry 'bout that, James." Picking up your phone, you turn the loudspeaker off. "I was just getting some candy ready that's all."
"Oh, are we having a movie night?" Bucky smiles to himself, envisioning the soft blankets, cold beers and bowls of snacks all laid out.
Chuckling in response, you glance out your window to be greeted with the sound of laughter and the repetitive words throughout the street. "It's Halloween, babe." You remind him, listening to an 'oh right, that holiday' sound from Bucky.
"Still getting used to all this, sorry." Bucky shyly comments, now turning the corner in the cab toward your street and his eyes widen at the sight his eyes are assaulted with. "I, is this normal? It seems like a lot, doll. Even for your neighbours." He quietly asks through the phone, picking up on the driver snickering under his breath.
"I mean, yes but also no." You shrug. "It's mostly for the kids, like a lot of holidays but especially Halloween."
"So much for a quiet night." Bucky grumbles, watching children dressed up as princesses, fairies, pirates, werewolves and all sorts of fairytale characters and others he doesn't know pass by.
Unable to budge from your window, you shake your head. "James, kids don't roam the streets until 1am anymore." Seeing a car pull up outside, you quickly move from your blinds and rush to the front door. "Besides, trick or treating isn't just for kids, I think I've got the best treat of the night lined up."
Smirking to himself, Bucky emerges from the cab with his bag slung over his shoulder. He notices the rustling of your blinds in the window, and his gaze quickly moves to the ajar front door.
Within a blur, you're enclosed in Bucky's embrace, burying your face into the crook of his neck.
Eventually pulling away, Bucky can't stop the smile on his lips from becoming bigger, causing a dull ache to form in his cheeks. But he knew it was worth it, all to see the way your eyes light up when you look right back at him.
"See?" You raise a brow to your boyfriend, lifting your hand up and running it through his hair. "Best treat in town."
Rolling his eyes playfully, Bucky takes your hand in his and guides you back inside, hopeful no kids will stop and stare at him on the way.
"Miss Y/n?" Someone calls out, and Bucky visibly slouches at the interruption.
Whereas you nudge him lightly before turning around and struggle to hold in your gasp.
"Oh my, look at you there Jacob!" Your voice softens as your hand slips from Buckys. "You look so scary!" A giggle leaves the boy when you rush inside. Bucky begrudgingly followed, not caring what the kid's costume might be.
Standing on the other side of your doorway, Bucky watches you rush around to grab one of the large bowls filled with sweets you prepared earlier.
"Come on, James." You call out to him with a sweet smile. "They're local kids, they mean no harm." Walking back outside, Bucky listens to the remainder of your interaction causing his heart to beat faster at the passing thought of you being a Mom one day.
Now back inside, you whistle to yourself and place the bowl down. Bucky notes how it is almost empty and gives you a knowing look.
"Don't judge me, like that." Raising a finger you point accusingly. "They're just so sweet, I can't say no to those little guys and girls in their costumes."
"Oh, Y/n." Bucky sighs, lowering your hand and wraps his arms around your waist. "What am I going to do with you, huh?"
Humming, you lean in to kiss him. Yet, your lips barely brush his before the doorbell goes and Bucky groans internally.
"Would you mind getting that one, James? I just need to go to the bathroom real quick." You ask fleetingly, disappearing before Bucky can even answer.
With his lips parted and eyes wide in shock, the doorbell continues to ring incessantly.
"Alright, I'm coming." He calls out grumpily.
Grabbing a hold of the bowl with the remaining candy, Bucky opens the front door.
"Trick or treat!" A series of voices shrill to Bucky and he tries to disguise his wince with joy- poorly might you add as you watch from beyond the hallway.
"Alright, here you go." Bucky lowers the bowl, barely sparing the kids a glance until one of them speaks up.
"Can I just say Mr Barnes, you're my hero." A young boy announces, and now Bucky's attention is on high alert.
Slowly lowering his eyes down, a boy no older than eight wears a toothy grin with one arm covered in black and decorated with gold to mimick his metal arm.
"I-," Bucky stumbles, finding himself speechless.
"Yeah, you're super cool! We saw what you did on TV, well my Mom didn't let me but I saw it at school. You're like a badass." Another boy chimes in, and they all add comments in agreement.
"Thanks, kids." Bucky genuinely responds, feeling the corners of his lips rise once more. "You have a good one out there." He nods to the boy dressed like him and salutes.
"Good night Mr Barnes!" The boy waves to Bucky and Bucky finds himself waving back.
"That was adorable." Reappearing from your hiding spot, Bucky slowly turns around with the door closing behind him. Yet, his movements are uneasy, and he cautiously lowers the bowl to the table beside him. "James?" Stepping forward, you can hear him sniff.
Lifting his head up, tears gloss over Bucky's eyes. "They think I'm a hero?" Bucky questions, unsure what to think of it all as his past wears heavy on his conscious, even after all this time.
"Yeah, they really do." You assure him, resting your hand on his shoulder delicately. "People see you for who you are now, love. They see a decent man, one who deserves better than his past and admire you for it all. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple of Falcons or Captains pass by either."
That causes Bucky to let out a watery laugh. "Thank you, doll." He whispers.
"Come on," Guiding Bucky to your living room, he couldn't be more relieved to see what he'd previously been dreaming of; cold beers, your soft blankets and an assortment of snacks all waiting for him. "I promised you'd get a treat, not a trick, love." You remind him, curling up beneath a blanket together as you turn the TV on.
"Happy Halloween, Y/n." Bucky mutters, glancing out the window to see a Spiderman being closely followed by a Falcon. "Thanks for always being my treat."

Hey there! I was wondering if you could possibly recommend me any enemies to lovers fanfics with Bucky?
Hey!! I do apologise I’m still trying to figure out how to get links and such to work!
So from a bit of scrolling I found
https://sgtbxckybxrnes.tumblr.com/post/165108113020/got-off-my-desk-masterlist
I’m not too sure if it is classed as ‘enemies to lovers’ but is has that vibe you know. I actually have this saved as a read again!
Another thing I’d recommend is https://searchingforbucky.tumblr.com/post/187477265305/fic-recs-part-3
They have an amazing selection of fic recs, as well as a cat why just for ‘enemies to lovers’
Another one of my favourites which in a way could be classed as ‘enemies to lovers’ is https://floatingpetals.tumblr.com/post/168802438840/shifter-series-masterlist
It is written so well and a fic of which I personally have read more then once!
I’ll be sure to recommend more when I find more! Be sure to read all warning first!
Thank you so much for asking! Sorry if I wasn’t much help.
Have a wonderful day!
