Prompt - "I love it when you sing."

Summary - You've just figured out that the mysterious voice you hear singing through the vents is none other than the Winter Soldier himself. Now the only question is, what do you do with this newfound information?

Notes - Song lyrics pulled from "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by Bon Jovi, "Death of a Bachelor" by Panic! At The Disco, "Baby it's Cold Outside" by Frank Loesser, and Dirty Dancing's "(I've Had) The Time of My Life".

Stripping off the last of your combat gear with an exaggerated groan you tossed it in the corner of your bathroom on top of an embarrassingly large pile of dirty clothes. Guess I know how I'll be spending my weekend. You started the shower, setting it as hot as you could stand and spent several minutes just letting the heat and the steam relax your tired muscles. Note to self: thank Tony for the endless supply of hot water in this place. You grudgingly went through the motions of washing the last remnants of the mission from your skin and hair, more eager than ever to collapse into the comfort of your bed.

Shutting off the water you reached for your towel, the details of the mission swimming through your mind. You started absentmindedly humming along with the singing coming from... wait, singing..? I didn't... where is that coming from...?

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday, it seems we're wastin' away...
Another place, where the faces are so cold,
I drive all night, just to get back home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted, dead or alive
Wanted.. dead or alive

Looking around for the source of the sound you quickly realized it was coming from the vents. Wow, whoever that is they are really good. You smiled to yourself, listening until the voice gradually faded away. Looks like someone on the team has a hidden talent. But who...?

It didn't take long to figure out, especially with FRIDAY's helpful assistance. With your room being at the far end of the floor your bathroom and the bathroom for the person across the hall were positioned right next to each other, much closer in proximity than anyone else's. It had to be him. Freaking Bucky Barnes. You felt your cheeks warm just at the thought of him. There was no denying you harbored an attraction for the supersoldier. Strong, protective, a gentleman, and now I find out the man can sing? Is there anything he can't do? Sighing you flopped down across your bed, Bucky's crooning voice filling your thoughts as exhaustion finally claimed you and you fell fast asleep.

Training had been super intense that morning. You appreciated the new moves Nat was teaching you but that didn't make your muscles hurt any less. Desperate for a shower you decided to skip breakfast and just grab a snack instead before heading to your room. As you entered the kitchen you saw Bucky rummaging around in the fridge, humming quietly to himself.

"Hey Barnes, toss me a bottle of water?" Grabbing an energy bar from the pantry you turned and saw that Bucky hadn't moved. "Buck?" Still nothing. You raised your voice slightly. "Bucky!" Is he ignoring me or what? After a moment of hesitation you stepped close enough to poke him in his ribs causing him to jump and hit his head against the fridge door.

"Dammit! What the hell..?" He gingerly rubbed the back of his head with his flesh hand and yanked out his earbuds with the other. "You know (Y/N), it's never a good idea to sneak up on an assassin. Not if you value life and limb." He was trying his best to hold a serious face but you could see just a hint of a smirk edging in.
