You owned a beautiful bakery in the heart of New York, called ‘Cupcake Corner” -it's risky being so close to the infamous avengers tower- but worth it, each time a smiling customer bit into a cake, pie, cookie, cupcake or muffin.
You looked down at the large order you finished writing
“Just to double check it all, you wanted 7 dozen cookies, 10 dozen cupcakes, 2 three-tier cakes, 2 apple pies, 3 cheesecakes, 2 blueberry pies and 3 tins of cinnamon rolls. Yes?”
“Correct, all delivered to avengers tower on August 5th, at 8pm sharp. I will send half the money now, and you will receive the rest day of delivery” Mr.Starks assistant, Stacey replied “also you are welcome to stay for a few drinks, courteous of Mr.Stark”
“Oh my, thank you! I will have that all ready for you! Thank you very much” Smiling happily as you continued to prep for the day. Humming as you hung up and turned to your assistant Jack “holy shit! The avengers want our baked goods for a party Jack! Can you believe it! AND we get to go to an Avengers party!”
“That is great boss! It’ll be great for business, how long do we have to prep it?” Jack asks as he pops some cookies and muffins in the oven. Smiling, you skip over to the counter, organising the day's treats. “We have exactly a week to do it. I’ll do the cakes, Stark wants it decorated with iron man colours” You roll your eyes at Stark's famous ego.
“Well, let's get this day on with, hungry, paying customers are waiting outside jack!” You announce, happily moving towards the door as Jack finishes stocking the counter.
Walking into the bakery on August 5th you were filled with excitement and nerves. Shaking out those nerves you grabbed the pink and blue boxes with your logo, you packed up the cookies, and cupcakes, both decorated with iron man colours, and the avengers logo.
“Hey Boss! Wonderful day huh?! Can't wait to see the avengers tower” Jack happily sang as he entered the large kitchen, filled with any baker's dream equipment and ingredients.
“Jack! Right on time, grab the cakes for me please?” You asked, peering over at him as you busied yourself with grabbing the fresh baked goods for Jack to serve.
“Okay.. lets load this into the car, then we can head over to the tower” you say as you grab 3 of the boxes and walk out the door with Jack following close behind.
Placing the boxes in your little Volkswagen Beetle, you smile happily, close the door and turn to Jack “well I better get going, don’t wanna be late! Do I look alright?” You peer down at your outfit (fem masc) and look back up at Jack “yeah! You look great as always, boss. You better get going before you’re late”
You finally arrive at the tall, towering skyscraper topped with its iconic ‘A.’
You enter into the lobby, carefully carrying the first two boxes, you step up to the secretary beside a tall brunette man, with wide muscular shoulders and biceps that bulge and stretch his short sleeve shirt, You minutely shake your head to clear the unprofessional thoughts from your head. The mystery man’s head turns to you as you walk up to the desk.
“Hello, My name is Y/N. I am delivering the order from Cupcake Corner” You beamed as you placed the boxes down “I have more boxes I may need help bringing up ma’am”
The secretary smiles, nods and picks up her phone “Mr.Stark, dessert is here. The owner will bring the boxes up, yes sir”
As the secretary talks, the mysterious brunet smiles at you “I can help you bring the boxes up. I'm heading to the party as well” Turning, you look up and make eye contact, momentarily stunned as his sharp, blue eyes seem to peer into your soul. You will never admit that you don't want him to stop.
“Oh! I would appreciate it sir! I can show you my car in just a second” You breathed, as you kept eye contact with the tall adonis of a man.
“Bucky, please. Call me Bucky, doll. No need for fancy words like sir” ‘Bucky’ smirks at you. Nodding quickly with a blush you turn back to the secretary who has a sweet, almost knowing smile on her face “You can use the elevator to take the boxes up floor 50, Mr.Stark will be waiting for you there miss”
Nodding, you gesture for Bucky to follow you out to the car. “Just in here” You pop open the trunk, letting him grab out the two tall boxes that hold the perfectly designed cakes. “Careful! Don't drop them” you gasp and want to reach out, being defensive of your designs.
Chuckling he smiles down at you “Dont worry doll, I got it. I’ll be very careful, lead the way”
Sighing awkwardly, you close the trunk, pick back up your boxes and walk into the lobby, and to the elevator. “Thank you, I appreciate it really. I hate carrying this many boxes up and down elevators” You smile at him gratefully
“Not a problem, I like helping out when I can” He assured “So, are you staying for the party? You certainly look dressed for one” You aren't sure, but you swear his eyes look you up and down appreciatively.
“Oh- uh yea! I am. Stark invited me to stay for a bit… so I dressed up” chucking softly as you both step out of the elevator to see Tony Stark standing by a long table, with a few other people milling about the room, setting up other kinds of food, and snacks.
“Ah! There you are, come in. You can set up here” Tony gestures to the empty table he is leaning on “Ah- you brought a stray, hey terminator” Chuckling he pats Bucky’s left shoulder as he passes him towards the other side of the room
“Thank you Mr.Stark!” you call out as you and Bucky set the first of the boxes down “okay.. There are only a few more boxes so you are welcome to go about your business. I can handle the rest Bucky, but thank you again”
Chuckling bucky bumps your shoulder with his “nonsense, i'll help you bring the rest up. Lets go” He nods and gestures towards the elevator.
While you both got the last few boxes up to the party room, you and Bucky made small talk, mainly he asked about your bakery. What you sell, where it is, how much you sell, opening times, etc.
“Well, I enjoyed this doll” Bucky smiled at you, placing the boxes he held down on the table, “I gotta go get ready, but i’ll see you at the party? Perhaps for a drink?” He probed, looking at you with hopeful eyes.
“Yea.. it was nice to talk to you. I do hope to see you at the party Bucky” Smiling up at him, you wave a quick goodbye as you watch him leave. Squealing internally at getting the attention of a handsome avenger like Bucky.
You quickly shake your head, reminding you that you’re working and need to remain professional while setting up, you turn to start unboxing and setting up your sweet treats.
After a few minutes Mr.Stark announces that party guests will begin to arrive soon, and that we are each welcome to stay, mingle, and drink.
Pulling out your phone you check your hair and outfit to make sure you look presentable. Doors opening and elevators dinging pull you out of your thoughts as well dressed, gorgeous people walk into the room.
Your breath hitches as you see Bucky Barnes walk in wearing a gorgeous all black suit that stretches and fits his muscles perfectly. You clear your throat as you see him walking towards you. “Hey doll! This is Steve and Natasha. And this is Y/N the baker I told you about” Smiling as he looks at you.
“Oh my. Hello! It's so nice to meet you both, truely!” You cough slightly to focus your mind on the conversation, and not on the fact that the Bucky barnes talked about you to his avenger friends.
Natasha walks forward and gives you a gentle hug “Hello, it's nice to meet you. Love the outfit” winking she grabs one of your cookies and bites into it, humming sweetly at the taste “delicious, might just have to steal dessert before dinner hmm?” You blush deeply at the praise, smiling at them, as both Steve and Bucky grab a cookie as well.
“Damn doll, this is amazing! Gonna have to come visit your bakery” Bucky smiles at you, lightly bumping his shoulder against yours.
“They are right, it’s very good” Steve nodded as he bit into his cookie. “Tony picked a great bakery”
Laughing sweetly, wanting to hide your blushing face. “Thank you..”
Natasha and Steve get dragged away by some agent or other person. Leaving you and Bucky alone beside the table. “So, how about that drink I promised you?” Bucky offers out his arm to guide you both towards the loaded bar.
“Such a gentleman, I would love a drink” smiling happily, you link arms with the broad man. “I’ll have a vodka tonic” you tell the bartender
“And I will have a whisky” Bucky’s smooth deep voice distracts you. You look over at him, smiling and admire his side profile.
He turns to look at you “what? Do I have something on my face already?” He teases, running his hand across the light stubble that decorates his sharp jawline.
“No, sorry… didn't mean to stare” You say, awkwardly looking away from his face. Not meaning to make him uncomfortable.
“It’s alright, I mean only if I can admire you back, doll~” He reassures, moving forward just a bit, testing the waters to see how you respond. “Or perhaps a dance?”
You gape “a dance? With me, really?” looking up at him, seeing him already watching you “of course, I mean I would love to!”
Bucky smiles broadly “perfect, lets finish our drinks first. I already see those punks watching us” Chuckling he looks over to see, Natasha, Steve, Sam, Clint, and Tony indiscreetly looking over at you and Bucky.
“Oh my- they are” you say, flustered “oh gosh”
Bucky chuckles gently, passing you your drink “don't worry, we don’t have to go over. But I assure you they are very nice”
As you both grab your drinks, Bucky guides you two towards the group of avengers, settled on a set of couches. “You punks gonna keep staring?” Bucky teases as he smacks Steve on the back of the head.
“We weren't staring! Just amazed that the grumpy tin-man is actually smiling and talking to someone!” Sam teases as he holds his hand out to shake “I’m Sam Wilson by the way”
Bucky and you settle on the empty loveseat, talking and joking amongst the famous avengers. You anticipated feeling outcasted, left out, and awkward. But the group is very kind and welcoming, you still feel awkward and anxious, although that's normal everyday you.
You are pulled from your thoughts by Sam calling your name “you wanna hear a fun story about tin-man there?” Smirking, you quickly nod, much to Bucky’s embarrassment and displeasure.
“This grumpy old man once tried to bake. It did not turn out well” Sam laughs along with each of the other avengers, while Bucky groans loudly as he remembers that moment.
“It was late, and he tried to bake a cake for everyone as a thank you. We entered the kitchen to burning cake, that was literally ON fire, and a panicking bucky running around the kitchen”
You laugh loudly, turning to look at bucky seeing blush appear on his face.
“I think it’s time for that dance you promised me doll” Bucky quickly stands up, offering out a hand for you to take. Smirking you take his hand “perhaps I just need to teach you to bake?”
As you both walk away, you hear the laugh of the avengers. “Ha ha- hilarious! Real funny punks” Bucky grumbles as he guides you towards the dance floor, filled with bodies moving and grinding to the beat of the song.
“Sorry Bucky.. It was fairly funny though” you assure him, turning to face him.
“It’s alright doll, I’ve accepted I'm not a baker. Trust me, I haven’t tried since that incident”
The music suddenly changes to a slower love song, and when you look at the DJ you see Tony Stark standing beside the DJ and smirking at you and Bucky.
“I guess that's my cue” Bucky grins at you, pulling you closer “Shall we dance now doll?”
