Everyone in the Avengers felt an eerie sense of fear and unease whenever they caught a glimpse of Bucky Barnes. The man had been through too much, and it showed. He had a cold, dark, and mysterious air about him, and they had never seen him smile or express any emotion other than anger, sadness, or emptiness.

But one day, they all noticed something different about him. He was no longer the same man they had grown to fear and pity. He seemed different, softer. His eyes had a shimmering glint to them, and his normally stiff, unsmiling face had been replaced by a soft, almost vulnerable expression.

The Avengers were in for a shock when they found Bucky in a situation they had never seen him in before. There was laughter and giggling coming from the kitchen, and as they approached, they found Bucky in a state that was completely alien to them – one of happiness.

His arms were wrapped tightly around your neck, and your hands were caressing his back thoughtfully. It was a scene that had his friends in awe, and they stood there for a moment, taking in the spectacle before them. It took a moment before Bucky's eyes snapped open, and he realized who had come into the kitchen.

For a moment, he froze, unsure of what to do or say. But then, he saw the expression on their faces – it was one of shock, but also of hope. And for the first time since his recovery, it was a look that someone touched Bucky's heart.

He smiled, a smile that was small but genuine, and as he did, the tension of the moment was released.

'Morning guys," he said cheerfully.
