Ship: Winter Witch
Requested by @romanogers_nat_steve
Natasha is playing matchmaker.

She lived next door, in fact, she had just moved in the other day and as far as he knew he lived with a man, figured that it was her boyfriend, but he sure hoped not. Something about her really interested him.

"Why don't you just talk to her instead of stalking her?" Bucky turned around to see his best friend's girlfriend was looking right at him with a smirk on her face.

"Why don't you go find Steve and stay out of my business." He shot back. He, despite his tone, really liked Natasha, she made Steve very happy and she was hella funny.

"Because Buchanan, you are pathetic and if you didn't have the pleasure of knowing me, your life would be full of boredom and tragedy." She said ending with her classic smirk.

"Oh yes before I met you my dating life was nonexistent." He rolled his eyes. "You do know I was the reason you even have a boyfriend right? He would have never had been at the club if it wasn't for me,"

"Say what you might but trust me when I say this I know the mind of a woman Buchanan." She said walking up to him. "I can make her fall for you faster than your grades in college math."

"Haha very funny, where is Steve?" He asked annoyed.

"Steve is at the store, giving me a lot of time to fix the mess that is your life." She smiled.

"No, you stay out of this, you demon witch person." He said.

"Did you just call me a demon?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Steve was so nice before he got under your spell."

"Is this about taco Tuesday?"

"Taco Tuesday is a national holiday and just because it was inconvenient for you, doesn't mean we guys couldn't do it. Who's even heard of Taco Thursday? It's madness." Natasha loved messing with Bucky as much as she possibly could, and the two would often joke around with each other, sometimes Steve couldn't even tell if they were fighting or joking.

"You're a total bore Buchanan," She rolled her eyes as Bucky turned to grab his cup he left on the counter.

"I mean it, Natasha, don't you go do anything. You would just make matters worse-" he turned back around and noticed she was gone, his heart immediately started to race as he saw the door was left open. "Damit."

He rushed out of the apartment and watched as Natasha knocked on the door with a smirk lacing her face. Should he run? No, she probably had a plan for that. Should he commit her murder? No Steve would murder him. What were the chances he could hide in his room for the rest of his life? No Natasha would find him there and tease him till the end of time.

"Hello?" A sweet soft voice asked as the door opened, giving Bucky no time to run away.

"Hello, I am Natasha Romanoff, my boyfriend lives across the hall from you and since I am here so often I just thought I would say hello," She said with a smile, the girl looked a bit nervous and her eyes scanned the hall and she noticed Bucky for the first time, she stopped and watched him as if reading his mind before turning away and looking at Natasha.

"Is he your boyfriend? Because if so I think I should tell you that he's a bit of a stalker?" Someone else in the room asked coming to the door, this was that man, probably her boyfriend.

"No, of course not, I am dating the handsome one of the pair, his roommate Steve," She said, "Hey Buchanan, come here for a second and come say hello to your neighbors." Oh, she was such a brat. Why is Steve dating someone who finds fun in tormenting him? Is it because he did the same to Steve since they were kids? Is this what they call Karma?

As he walked over to the group and thought about his chances of survival if he were to chuck himself out the window. Could he make it? Could he survive the fall?

"Hi, I am James, unfortunate" The girl raised an eyebrow at his behavior.

"I'm Wanda," She said.

"And I am bored." The man said and looked down at the girl. "I am going for a run,"

"You're always running," She complained.

"Yes well I am fast, I want to be faster." He smiled. "I'll pick up dinner I promise."

"Yeah yeah, go on your run," their voices both had a strong accent, but Bucky could very well pinpoint it.

"Was that your boyfriend?" He asked before he could stop himself, god he hated the look Natasha had on her face at the moment. He was going to murder her.

"What? No. Gross, he's my brother." she responded.

"Well would you look at the time," Natasha smiled. "we actually have to go, Steve is expecting us to start dinner," God it was Thursday, it was actually Taco Thursday, he never hated her so much. "It was so nice meeting you Wanda, maybe you and Bucky can hang out sometime, you know get ice cream or something of the sorts."

"Oh that's if you want," Bucky butted in, why was she doing this to him? He wasn't ready? What if she said no? What if she thought this whole experience was weird and messed up, what if she didn't know him well-

"Sure, I was actually thinking of seeing the town, I am new here so having a tour guide would be nice."

"Great, Buchanan grew up here, he's gonna be a great tour guide. Isn't that right?" She asked giving the most innocent smile in the world to him.

"uh... um yeah." He answered. "How about this weekend?"

"Sure, I'd love to, see you soon" Wanda gave him a smile that made his heart race. Why was his heart racing so much? He didn't even know her all the well and yet this was happening.

"Bye," He sighed and then Natasha smiled at the girl and walked away, Bucky waited for her to shut their door before lashing out at her. "Are you fucking serious Romanoff? I am not ready to go out with her."

"James, what happened to that fearless man I met at the bar that night? The one who can easily talk to any girl?"

"I don't know, she's different, she makes my heart jump when I see her, something about her makes me smile," he sighed. "You wouldn't understand."

"I do understand because that's how I feel when I'm with Steve, he makes me feel special and happy. You deserve this, besides if she doesn't like you for the dorky, nervous idiot you are then maybe she doesn't deserve you." Natasha said. "But something's telling me that she will be good for you."

"Wow that's the nicest thing you have ever said to me," he teased with a smile.

"way to ruin the moment." She rolled her eyes. "Now go cut some vegetables before Steve gets here, you know our deal."

"Yeah Yeah I know, I prepare than you take credit. Even we both know that Steve knows the truth."

"I'm going to pretend he doesn't." She smiled.

"Thank you Nat, for what you did,"

"No problem Buchanan, I expect many good gifts and many nights away from this apartment." She smirked.

As much as he hated to admit it Natasha was right. Bucky fell hard for Wanda, they talked about things...scary things like their feelings. He enjoyed their time together, and that's why after one year of dating and a long conversation with her brother, Bucky proposed.

Who would have guess his best friend's girlfriend was the person who would introduce Bucky to the love of his life and future mother of his children. Life was crazy.
