Requested by @keyatrickymoat: Imagine you and Bucky finding a three legged kitten in the dumpster behind the Tower and decide to keep it, naming it Winter. You and Bucky also make Tony design a prosthetic leg for it identical to Bucky’s arm.

(just imagine the stuffed animal is a cat instead lol)

“Tony!” you screamed, holding the door open for Bucky as he rushed into the lab, “Tony, Tony, Tony!”

“What?” he exclaimed, his eyes wide with concern.

“We have an idea!” you explained, joining Bucky’s side and looking at the small, three legged tabby in Bucky’s metal palm. Tony deflated, looking unimpressed.

“What do you want?” he said, turning back to his work.

“Can you make a prosthetic limb for Winter?” you asked.

“Winter?” Bucky turned to you, confused. You nodded, grinning at him and bumping his shoulder with your own.

“I named him Winter.” Bucky smiled, his cheeks turning pink at the gesture. Tony rolled his eyes.

“That’s adorable. I’m busy,” Tony said. 

“Come on, Tony,” you said, “Please.”

“Please, Stark,” Bucky said, holding the kitten up to his face adorably. Tony stared at them and you could see his internal struggle. You knew he wanted to refuse, but he gave in.

“Okay,” he sighed, “Give me a of couple hours.”

“Yes!” you exclaimed, hugging him tightly, “Thank you!” You turned to Bucky and the kitten, “Come here, baby,” you cooed, scooping the kitten up and holding it up to you, “You’re going to have another arm!” you danced around.

A few hours later, and quite a few scratch marks on Tony, Winter was adjusting to the new, shiny limb. The kitten tripped quite a few times, very cutely. But, after quite a while, the kitten began prancing and playing excitedly, meowing with glee.

“I wish I’d been this excited,” Bucky whispered as you looped arms with him, watching Winter play with a ball of yarn. You kissed the shoulder of his metal arm gently, leaning your head against it. Your heart swelled with a mixture of joy and despair.

“I love you and your arm,” you said, “And our cat and our cat’s arm.”

He chuckled, kissing the top of your head gently, “Likewise.”
