“Don’t forget to smile!” Bucky Barnes rolled his eyes. He wasn’t in the mood to smile. Hell, he wasn’t in the mood for this whole day. Valentina had planned a press day for them, including photoshoots and interviews. He understood that the way they would present themselves to the outside world would be important, but why couldn’t they do it without him?

Alexei was the only one that seemed happy about this day. He kept reminding everyone to act friendly, to dress nicely and to stop with the death glares. Bob looked a little out of place and Yelena had to sit in between John and Ava, because they couldn’t stop arguing with each other. After a million pictures got taken, it was time for some interviews. They would all be interviewed separately, except for Bob, who had Yelena at his side, because they all weren’t sure if he was ready to face the public yet.

Bucky grabbed a cup of black coffee for himself before sitting down at one of the small tables, an annoyed expression on his face. When he heard footsteps approaching, he looked up. As his eyes landed on you, he forgot to look grumpy for a brief moment. “Hi.” You said with a beaming smile as you sat down in front of him. You reached out your hand for him to shake. He quickly took your hand, chuckling slightly. “Hey… I’m Bucky.” He said, flashing you with the most charming smile you’ve ever seen.
