This is be before the events of Black Panther. I know his birthday is after the release of the movie, but I'm going to say that the events of Black Panther didn't happen till later. If you get what I mean.

"Thank you for letting me enter Wakanda, King T'challa." You smiled at him as you entered the barrier.

"You are very welcome y/n. You know you can call me T'challa." He nodded.

"Okay then."

He turned from the window to you, "Bucky has been talking about you. I know you prefer not to fight, so I'm glad that you still kept in contact with Steve. Otherwise we probably wouldn't be having this conversation."

"Of course I still do. I might not use my powers often or be apart of the Avengers, but Steve is my best friend."

T'challa smiled, and soon the jet landed. As the door opened you noticed who must've been Shuri.

"Hello y/n. I'm Shuri." She extended her hand and you shook it. "It's so nice to meet my son's fiance and my future daughter in law."

Behind you T'challa laughed, "Shuri, I told you already an 101 year old man cannot be your son."

Shuri just rolled her eyes, "He's my son wether you like it or not brother. Just admit it your jealous that I have a son, and you don't have any children."

T'challa walked up to the both of you shaking his head as he tried to hide a smile. "I'm sorry about Shuri y/n. Tell your "son" I said hello. I must go observe a meeting with mother." He hugged Shuri as he walked off.

"Come y/n." You walked beside her, and you looked around the savannah.

"I told Bucky to wait outside of the village. He's going to be so excited. He doesn't know why I asked him though. He has no idea your coming."

You looked down collecting your thoughts, "Shuri... Why does he live in the village and not in the city?"

She looked to you wondering if she should tell you she was still working on his arm. "I thought he'd like it out here more. It's nice and quiet. There's a lake, and the villagers are nice and accepting. He helps the farmers, and he loves the children. It also helps him focus so he can remember important things, like you."

"What about the words and his arm?"

"Currently all the words except one are out of him. The one that makes him shut down. I'm still working on his arm, but it will be finished soon. Then I'll come and attach it."

You were about to talk when you looked up and froze. It was if time stood still. His smile was just as captivating as it was in the forties.

You couldn't wait anymore. You quickly ran to him, and you hugged him tightly. You couldn't help but close your eyes and cry.

"Darlin, please don't cry." He hugged you even tighter as he rubbed your back.

"I'm sorry Bucky.... I just... I've been waiting to see you for over seven decades, and now the moment is finally here. I'm just so happy." You opened your eyes as you pulled away from him.

He reached his hand out to you, and you didn't hesitate to reach out and take it in your own. He looked to Shuri.

"Happy late birthday my son!" She smiled.

"Thanks Shuri." He just chucked.

"Well I'm going to go now. Have a good day my children." She walked off in the direction that you arrived in, and you looked to Bucky.

"Why does she call you her son?" You giggled.

"I have no clue. She's claimed that she already got the adoption papers. I guess it's because she's been helping me so much." He shrugged as you both began to walk, and you swung your hand with his own.

"So... Your hair... And uh beard..."

"Oh yeah... I haven't really thought about it." He subconsciously scratched his beard, "You never liked them did you?"

"No I didn't. If you like it though, I guess I could deal with it." You tried to smile.

"Well now that you're here, maybe you could shave it off and give me a haircut?" He blushed looking down, and you noticed his hair fall over his face.

"Here Bucky, let me fix your hair so it won't fall in your face." You opened your bag pulling out a ponytail holder. You took half of his hair putting it in a little bun.

"Thanks doll." You took his hand in yours as you walked again. "How is Steve?"

"He's okay. You know, you should ask your "mom" for a computer. That way I can show you how to use Skype."

"Maybe so. Shuri did make my hut bigger so the inside looks like an apartment with technology plus air conditioning and such. She gave me a phone. She might've given me a computer. Thanks angel." He smiled.

"You're welcome." You giggled.

"Y/n... Are... Do you think we'll ever actually get to have that wedding we talked about?" He momentarily frowned.

"Of course we will. I love you, and I've kept this engagement ring on all this time."

"I still am deeply in love with you too, and I just want to live normally with you." He pulled your hand up kissing the back of it.

"We will get married, even if it's small and private. I promise. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." You looked into his stormy eyes as you promised.

"White Wolf!"

"Bucky!"

You looked noticing you made it to the edge of the village, and one of the little children ran up to Bucky and you. He motioned for you to squat down with him.

"Ooo Bucky, is this your y/n?" A little girl hugged him then looked at you.

"Yeah, this is her." He looked to you giving you a lopsided grin.

The little girl walked to you, and touched your hair, "Hello. You're pretty. I want to be just like you."

You hugged her giggling, "You're pretty too. I think you should be uniquely you..."

"Imani."

"Well Imani, I think you are great just the way you are."

Imani walked over to Bucky, "You are right, she is like one of the princesses you read about to me."

That caused you to blush as you too looked to Bucky.

"Imani! Come home Mama has supper ready." A boy came running up who must've been her brother.

"I don't want to leave." She pouted, and Bucky gave her a hug.

Then you thought of an idea, "I tell you what, Imani if you go eat supper you can meet me and Bucky at his hut... And I'll let you play with my hair. Can you do that?"

She immediately smiled, "Yes!" She squealed as she went with her brother. You and Bucky both got up watching the two children making it back to their home.

"I always knew you were good with kids. Imagine us with our own kid one day. You'd be the best mother, and they'd have your beautiful smile."

You blushed looking down, "Bucky...."

"Your so cute doll." He chucked as you both began to walk together hand in hand once again. You finally got closer and that's when you saw something terrible.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" You screamed hugging Bucky.

"What? What's wrong?" He asked rubbing your back.

"I'm scared."

"Of what?"

"Goats. I don't like goats, they scare me." You looked up into his eyes, and his only crinkled as he smiled laughing.

"Baby, they're more scared of you than you are of them. In fact it's funny to scare them." He continued to laugh. "Here I'll show you."

He let go of you and snuck up behind several goats then he ran to them "Ahhhhhhhh." He yelled, and you watched as the goats all feinted.

He went back to you grabbing your hand, "Come on doll, scare em with me."

You laughed as you both ran around scaring the goats until they all lay frozen on the ground.

"See nothing to be afraid of." He laughed.

"You're right. That was fun and hilarious."

After you both walked to the lake. He sat down with you wrapping his arm around your shoulder.

"This view is beautiful." You sighed leaning on his shoulder.

"Not as beautiful as you." He looked to you smiling. You knew it was cheesy, but you loved that about him. You stared at him, and you couldn't help but gravitate towards him.

Your lips met his own in desperation. You missed the feeling of his lips on your own, and the feeling of butterflies fluttering in your stomach. It brought back fond memories of yesteryear, and decades later finally you were able to be in each other's arms again.

He pulled you close to him like this might be some dream and the closer you were to him would confirm that this was actually reality. This wasn't some dream of fantasies intangible beyond his reach. This was reality, and this reality was for once like one of the few pleasant dreams he had.

You both finally broke the kiss in need of air. You felt his one hand touch your cheek as he kissed your forehead. "For once things are alright." He barely whispered, his lips still in contact with your forehead.

"Then maybe we'll have that wedding soon." You whispered in return.

"And maybe then we could go back home to Brooklyn, or here, or anywhere, and actually start a family." He looked into your eyes.

"I'd like that Bucky. Even if we can't do those things anytime soon, I want you to know you are my family. I love you so much James Buchanan Barnes." Your sweetly kissed his lips.

"I love you too (your full name) always and forever. Now let's go home because Imani is probably waiting to do your hair." You nodded helping him get up.

He lead you to his hut and just as he said Imani was there sitting at the door holding a teddy bear.

"Bucky! Y/n!" She hugged you both. "I brought Mr Buttons and my hairbrush." She giggled showing you the teady bear.

"Let's go inside girls. It's getting kinda hot out, and Imani I'll get you a popsicle."

"Hey." You pouted.

"I'll get a popsicle for you too." Bucky chuckled.

You grabbed Imani's hand looking at her, "While he's doing that you can go ahead and make my hair look beautimous."

"Beautimous?"  She questioned tilting her head in confusion.

"Yeah, it's just one way I say beautiful. Like my own little language I guess."

"Okay."

You both sat down on the floor as she began to brush your hair. Bucky walked in winking at you as he handed you both the kind of popsicles wrapped in plastic that you had to freeze.

"Here's your pops." He handed you both one. "Having fun?"

"Yes. I'm making y/n's hair beautimous." Imani giggled as Bucky sighed, "I see y/n's already teaching you her slang."

"Yup." You proudly grined as you ate the popsicle. Bucky sat in front of you, and before you could say anything he bit some of your popsicle.

"Hey!" You frowned.

"I love you too doll. Love you too."

You all enjoyed the rest of the night together until Imani's mom came to pick her up. It all made you desire that for you and Bucky even more, and he felt the same way. You both hoped that there was a way to get Steve here since he was really the only brother figure you had and the only one you'd want at your wedding other than maybe T'challa and Shuri. Until that time came you both would wait so you could share this with the ones who cared for you.

I hope you enjoyed that. Would you like me to continue with possibly what happened during black panther and infinity war then after Infinity War? I kinda want to continue this, but I'm not sure. Regardless,I hope you all liked this and I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, for I was working on my Loki imagines book.
