-Sure you do baby sure.
 You said laughing as you watch your babygirl run around in her nappy
Bucky sighs and gets up slowly putting his hands in his face in surrender.

You saw Ivy your 4 year old baby girl giggling and laughing while sprinting down the hallway clearly running away from the outfit in Buckys hand and Noah you 2 year old follownig her is fast as he could with his tiny little legs. Oh how muck you loved them, they were all your life along with Bucky ofcourse.
-Aw my poor baby come here. 
You say pulling him in for a hug and a sweet kiss
The kiss turns to a passion one in a matter of seconds but you stop him pulling away gently.
-Were gonna be late Buck
-I dont care, he said and pulled you again kissing you.
-Tonys gonna kick our asses if we dont go. You know that. You laugh a bit  
-Okayy.. He says pulling away kissing you one last time.
An idea pops to youu mind and its something Bucky cant say no.
-So i have an idea. If you put ivys and noahs clothes before im ready for the party we will leave early from the party and i will  
-Be you good girl tonight.
 you whispered that last part in his ear and kiss his ear in the end giving him that naughty smile you know he loves.
When Bucky hears that he eyes shines and cant contain the smile that crosses his face. He winks at you and sprints to find the kids.
-Ivy! Noah! We gotta get ready noww.
 he was searching and calling their names his voice so happy  
You laughed and smiled at his antics and started going to your room to get ready. You had plenty of time before Bucky has the kids ready just because earlier you had told them that daddy wanted to play hide and sike. Laughing at the thought you went to your room. You knew once Bucky find out you were doomed but you were also excited to see what he is going to do.

All My Loving - Bucky Barnes x Reader
WARNINGS: none.
SUMMARY: Bucky comes home after a long tiring day, and asks you to sing him to sleep.
*Your POV*
You and Bucky lay together on your shared bed. You were sat up against the pillows, with the back of his head was pressing against your chest. You gently placed your chin on top. The two of you sat in silence for a moment, just enjoying each others embrace.
"Y/N," Bucky whispered, gently lifting his head sleepily. You hummed softly in response. "Do we have a mission tomorrow?"
"No, Buck. We get to sleep in."  You replied. His lips formed into a smile and he let out a sigh of relief. 
"Thank God." He said as he rested his head back against your chest. "Tomorrow we're just gonna lay here all day." Bucky flipped himself over and pulled you down, so you were now laying beside him. He gently rested his head on top your chest as he wrapped his arms around you. Usually it was you who would lay on his chest, but tonight was different. Bucky had been out on a long and tiring mission all day, and was exhausted. All he wanted to do was sleep in your arms. You were his safe space. You wrapped your arms around his figure, holding him tight. Then, you lifted one of your hands to gently play his hair.  
For the first time in a while, Bucky felt himself completely relax. You felt him sigh against your chest, and you could tell he was falling asleep. Then suddenly, Steve burst through the door of your room. Bucky immediately pushed himself off of you, lifting his head to see what the loud noise was. "Steve?" He groaned, rubbing the corners of his eyes. 
"Sorry, sorry," Steve panted, trying to catch his breath. His hands fell to his knees, trying to keep himself standing. "The guy escaped!" Bucky shuffled off of the bed to his feet, groaning in annoyance. 
"You let him escape?" He exclaimed, trying to control his anger.
"Well, I-"
"The guy that we have been trying to find," Bucky paused before continuing, "The entire day," He added, his voice growing louder. "Has escaped?" This time he was nearly shouting. You quickly got up from the bed, placing a hand on his back.
"Hey Buck, it's alright, we'll get him back." You said reassuringly, gently rubbing his back with your hand. Steve looked at the floor, unsure of what to say. 
"No, It's not alright, Y/N!" Bucky yelled, turning to his side to look at you. "It's been a long ass day, and all I want to do is go to bed with my girlfriend!" He turned back to Steve, running his hands through his long hair. "And I can't do that now, cause I have to go find this criminal!" He moved over to the bed, and sat down, groaning. You slowly sat beside him, placing a hand on his thigh.
"It's alright, Buck." You said. "Steve will go find the criminal, and you can go to sleep." 
"What!" Steve protested. You threw out a finger at Steve, not even looking at him, and signalled for him to be quiet. 
"Steve will go find him." You repeated, grabbing the side of Bucky's face gently. He sighed into your hand. You stood up and turned towards Steve, "better get going, Cap." Steve rolled his eyes at the two of you and left the room. You closed the door behind him before making your way back over to your boyfriend. The two of you gently fell back on the bed, moving to the same positions as before. His head was back on top of your chest, and you were running your fingers through his brown hair. 
You and Bucky both closed your eyes as you laid there together in silence, holding each other. You could feel Bucky's heart racing, trying to calm itself down but failing. "Y/N" He whispered, gently lifting and turning his head, trying to make his eyes reach yours. Your eyelashes fluttered as you opened your eyes, looking at the tired boy. "I can't sleep, will you sing for me?" He asked. He knew you hated your voice, but he loved it too much. You would usually laugh and say no to him, but he was so tired and so cute. It was impossible to deny his request. 
"Fine." You said, rolling your eyes with a smile. He smiled softly before turning his head back around and placing it on your chest once again. You thought of what to sing and only one song crossed your mind.
"Close your eyes, and I'll kiss you. Tomorrow I'll miss you, remember I'll always be true."
The song was 'All My Loving' byThe Beatles.It had been yours and Bucky's song for years. He loved the song, and so did you. The song had always meant something to you and him. You used to sing it to him when he couldn't sleep because of his nightmares, but those eventually faded and you stopped.
"And then while I'm away, I'll write home everyday, and I'll send all my loving to you."
The two of you had danced to it the day Bucky joined the Avengers officially. He was going through a phase of listening to popular songs from each decade, and was in his 60s songs era. He had asked to play the song, and then asked you to dance. The two of you moved slowly to the song, holding each other closely as you danced. It didn't matter that no one else was dancing, you just wanted to hold him.
"I'll pretend that I'm kissing, the lips I am missing. And hope, that my dreams will come true."
Bucky could feel the vibration of your gentle hums against his cheek, coming from your chest. He smiled softly at the sound of your angelic voice, and closed his eyes. It reminded him of when his mother used to sing him to sleep, way back in the 20s. 
"And then while I'm away, I'll write home everyday, and I'll send all my loving to you."

TV and Movie Inspired Masterlist
Tumblr media
Sitting on the chilled tile floor, you shut your eyes. Letting out a shaky breath, you felt the slight tremble of your body. Your heart fell into your stomach as you thought of thousands of different possibilities to thousands of different outcomes.
Leaning further against the tub, you heard your phone pinging. Tears prickled the ends of your eyes as you felt a wave of nausea wash over you. Rapidly getting to your knees, you lifted the toilet seat up before emptying the contents of your stomach. Your previously tied up hair becoming useful, once again.
A soft knock sounded through the door. "Y/N?" Bucky's voice called. "Are you alright? Can I come in?" His voice quickly becoming filled with concern.
"No!" You shrieked, taking some toilet paper and wiping your mouth. "Please don't come in here. Everything's fine!" You spoke, flushing the toilet.
With no response from the other side, you made your way towards the sink brushing your teeth. The timer on your phone going off, signalling five minutes have passed. Taking a shaky breath, you returned to your previous spot, leaning against the bath tub.
Glancing at the test between your hands, you weren't prepared for the answer at your fingertips.
Pregnant.
Tears began welling in your eyes, before they streamed down your cheeks. Your stomach began churning again. Clasping a hand over your mouth, you attempted to muffle the sobs that began escape past your lips.
"Y/N? What's going on?" Bucky questioned. "I'm coming in."
Before you could stop him, the bathroom door opened. Taking in your disheveled appearance on the floor, his heart fell into his stomach. Dropping to his knees beside you, he pulled you in towards his warm embrace. Tucking your head under his chin, he pulled you into his lap as he occupied your previous position leaning against the tub.
Sobs wrecked through your body as you began shaking. Bucky rubbed up and down your back, cooing slightly in your ear. Time had escaped you, as your eyelids began growing heavy.
"Bubba?" Bucky questioned softly. "Lets get you something to eat."
Nodding your head slightly, you hummed.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked gently. "If not, that's okay too. I figured you might want-"
"Bucky." You mumbled, leaning away from his chest looking in his eyes. "I'm pregnant." You sniffled.
"Are...Are you sure?" Bucky questioned furrowing his eyebrows together.
Lifting the pregnancy test in your hands, you showed Bucky the evidence. His jaw falling slightly, as he gazed between you and the test. He opened and closed his mouth a few times as shock still overwhelmed him.
"Lets get some food."
Nodding your head, you moved off of Buckys lap. Extending his flesh hand towards you, he gently pulled you up from the floor. Leading you into your kitchen, he began busying himself with getting food ready.
After eating in silence with Bucky, you moved to leave.
"Wait." Bucky mumbled.
Groaning, you turned to face him. "Look Bucky, I appreciate you being here with me...But i think you should go."
"Go?" He questioned furrowing his eyebrows, moving to stand.
"Please...Just, go." You spoke, holding your hands up slightly as you backed away.
Retreating into your bedroom, you made yourself into a blanket burrito closing the world out.
---
"Is there a reason why you didn't want Barnes, here with you?" Natasha questioned as she pulled into a parking space.
You had asked her to take you to the OBGYN, not wanting to go alone.
"I mean, you two are practically conjoined at the hip." She spoke, getting out of the car.
Letting out a sigh, you knew she would question why you wanted her there instead of Bucky.
"I just didn't." You shrugged, making your way into the office.
Lifting your shirt, the sonographer placed gel on your stomach, before placing the transducer probe on top of it. The sound of a rapidly beating heart filled the room. Natasha gently grabbed your hand in excitement. Glancing up at her, you thought you could see a tear or two escape her eyes.
"Congratulations!" The sonographer spoke. "It's a little too early to tell the sex...But you get to take these sonogram photos home!"
As Natasha drove you home, you couldn't take your eyes off the photos. Your mind in a disarray of thoughts, as you couldn't fathom a tiny living human beginning to form inside you.
"Hey." She spoke softly, as she pulled in front of your apartment. "We're here."
"Th...Thanks." You stuttered, quickly placing the photos back in your purse. Opening the door, you were ready to get back into your burrito.
"Y/N?" She questioned.
You hummed as you leaned in slightly.
"You should really talk to Barnes." Natasha gave you a sorrow filled smile.
Nodding your head, you gave her a closed lip smile. Letting out a sigh, you knew that Natasha was right. Bucky is the only person you wanted around right now, and you had pushed him away.
Making your way back into your apartment, you sat on the couch. Pulling out the photos, you knew what you had to do.
---
"Thanks for meeting me." You offered a fake smile. "Have a seat." You motioned to the unoccupied chair before you.
"Well, I must say." Y/Ex/N, gave you a toothy grin. "I was surprised when you called, and even more taken back when you said you wanted to meet." He smirked.
"Uh huh." You responded, dropping your gaze to your hands as you began picking at the skin around your nail bed. An anxious habit you had developed.
"So, what is it that you want to talk about?" He flashed you his infamous million dollar smile.
"Y/Ex/N..." Letting out a sigh, you needed to feel the relief that would come from your confession. "I'm pregnant." You blurted.
His face faltered. "That's impossible." He spat.
"Well...It happened." You shrugged keeping your gaze upon your fingers.
"That's not my baby." Y/Ex/N shrugged, crossing arms. "You must've cheated on me."
Glancing up, your jaw fell slack as your eyes widened. "I-"
"Whatever." He spoke, pushing his chair back readying himself to leave.
Tears began welling in your eyes as you were face to face with your worst nightmare.
Before you knew it, you had driven to a familiar neighborhood. Racing up the stairs to an apartment that felt as if it were your second home.
Butterflies erupted in your stomach as you knocked on the door.

Sweet Dreams
Bucky Barnes x Reader *****************************************************************************************************
warnings: home invasion, panic attack
*****************************************************************************************************
Shattering glass.  You jerked upright as the sound ripped you from your sleep. Your hand immediately flew beside you, desperately searching for that familiar arm, but instead of meeting warm flesh your hand found cold silk.
Where is he?
You wanted to call out his name, but your instincts told you to stay silent. The rational part of your brain tells you the shattering glass was likely the result of him dropping a glass while trying to get some water. But the other part of you, the part that has learned the world holds plenty of evil when you take off your rose colored glasses (or have them ripped off by someone else), told you the noise had nothing to do with your boyfriend or anyone who should be in your apartment. 
More shuffling, a heavy mass bumping into one of your end tables. The light pulls of the lamp sitting atop the table slapped the lamp rod, soft screams for help.
What if they already got to Bucky? As much as you could not stand to think about that, nothing else made sense. Bucky was home, and there was no way he would let an intruder fumble through your apartment for this long. If they could incapacitate Bucky, you had no chance. You rolled over the bed to his side, opening the top drawer of his nightstand. His gun stared up at you, and with a shaky hand you picked it up. Going back to your side of the bed, further from the door, you knelt behind the bed, your head barely showing above the top. You positioned yourself, hands holding the gun atop the mattress, aimed at the door. 
The doorknob shook, someone twisting from outside your room. With a slam the door opened and hit the wall. A scream left your lungs as you squeezed the trigger, and suddenly your body was shaking.
Your eyes flew open, only to be met with steel blue hovering above you. 
“(Y/n), are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep. I kept trying to wake you up, but I didn’t want to scare you more.”
His words were muted by your heartbeat echoing in your ears. Your hand flew up to his face, touching his cheek before tangling your fingers in his hair. Your mouth opened to respond, but the words were tangled in your throat.
“Babydoll, are you okay? Can you answer me?”
His eyes desperately searched your own for an answer, scanning the rest of your face and body for any insight into what you were feeling.
The best you could do was nod and hope he understood that physically you were fine, but your mind needed some more time. While you did not do this often, it was not the first time it had happened around Bucky. He understood how real nightmares can feel, and he had his own fair share of panic attacks. Of course he wanted to do whatever he could to help you, but even with his own experience, he always had to carefully navigate you during your panic attacks. Sometimes you needed him to hold you tight, close to his chest. Other times he could touch your shoulder and it would make everything so much worse. 
You closed your eyes and tried to take a deep breath. It was shaky, but you got some more air.
“There you go baby, keep breathing. Is it okay for me to touch you?”
Again you nodded, and he laid down behind you, gently pulling you towards his chest. Feeling his heart beat against you helped pull you back to center. Slowly you felt the muscles in your body relax, and so did Bucky. 
“Are you okay?” He asked quietly, and the vibration of his chest brought you comfort. 
Your voice was weak and hoarse, but you were able to force out a word for Bucky. “Yeah.”
“Bad dream?” You nodded, really not ready to have a conversation yet. Bucky could sense your still dissolving tension and pulled you a little closer.  One of his hands moved to your head, gently massaging your scalp and playing with your hair. “We can talk about it later, whenever you’re ready babydoll.”
Another nod.
“Do you want to try to go back to sleep?”
You nodded one last time against his chest. 
As terrible and realistic as that nightmare had seemed, you knew you were safe. Wrapped in Bucky’s arms, nothing could touch you.
“Sweet dreams (y/n).

Adorable
Pairings: Bucky x reader
Warnings: none
Word Count: 703
Genera: Fluff
“Come on, doll, it looks adorable on you!”
“I don’t like it!” you wine at him. Bucky takes the hat at the edges and pulls it down so it's covering your entire face. You let out a frustrated whine before he fixes the hat for you. When he lifts the hat to see your grumpy face, he lets out a laugh before you playfully smack his chest.
It had snowed the night before and when you woke up, all you wanted to do was go play outside in the snow with your boyfriend. He was reluctant at first but finally gave in on one condition: you had to dress warm so you didn’t get sick.
“You should wear one too.” You tell him.
“I don’t get sick like you do. You know I’m just trying to look out for you, plus you can pull it off way better than I ever could,” he tells you before giving you a quick peck on the nose. It’s hard to stay upset with Bucky when you know he’s right. Bucky opens his arms for a hug as you roll your eyes and smash your now extra-large body into his.
“Come on Buck, I’m getting hot. Let’s go have some fun.” You waddle to the front door and open it, a cold gust of wind blows in, helping cool your sweaty body.
This had been the first snowfall of the season and it has been a crazy blizzard, to say the least. The local kids had school off today and the snowplows were working overtime. Bucky was amused by you this morning as you watched the last of the snowfall lightly from the sky. When you had asked him if he wanted to go play outside in the snow with you after breakfast and he had agreed, your face had lit up with so much joy.
As soon as you step out the door, your foot slips a bit on the icy sidewalk and Bucky catches you as you fall back. He had warned you earlier about the slippery conditions but, of course, in all of your excitement, you had forgotten.
“Careful, doll, don’t want you hurting yourself,” Bucky warned you as he righted you up on your feet. You turned your head around to give him an apologetic smile before you carefully made your way into the snowy yard. He follows you, admiring the way your chubby form waddles through the snow. He’s too busy admiring you, he doesn’t notice when you turn around abruptly and hit him with a snowball right to his chest. “Oh, no you didn’t.” He smiles at you with a mischievous grin. Your eyes grow wide as you try your best to run away from him, but with the heavy snow boots and your oversize coat, he quickly catches up to you before pouncing on you as the two of you fall into the snow. The two of you laugh before he gets up, reaching out a hand to help you. Once you're upright, he brings his arms around you, giving you a quick peck on the nose as you smile up at him. You wriggle out of his grasp and stick your tongue out at him, trudging away to go walk in the street. The snow isn’t as deep here and you don’t have such a hard time moving your limbs. You look up towards the sky and open your mouth as tiny little snowflakes come to rest on your tongue. Bucky looks at you fondly, wishing the two of you could always be happy. Before he knows it, he’s walking out into the street to join you. Bucky grabs your waist from behind and twirls you around so your chest to chest. He slowly leans down to kiss you, gently brushing his lips against yours. You grin as he chuckles a bit before you shyly hide your face in the crook of his neck. “Ya ready to go back inside, baby?” he asks you as he rocks the two of you gently back and forth. You hum in agreement, but neither of you move.
“I love you.” You whisper softly to him.
“I love you too, doll.”

The Tales Of The Winter Soldeir and Winter Witch
Book1, Chapter 1
3 Years before Bucky was drafted
February 5th, 1940
Ramona’s POV
Putting my stacks of paperwork on my desk ready for tomorrow as my work day comes to an end, I find myself sighing in relief after a long day of again getting nowhere with the ‘Jeweler Case.’ It seems to be a never-ending case as this is our second week trying to solve the jewelry store robbery and who did what and when, why, and so on.
“Lover boy is on the phone Ramona.” Peggy gloats with a smug grin on her face purposely making sure the speaker was not covered.
“Like I’ve told you almost a hundred times Carter, he is not my lover boy.” I exclaim emphasizing the word ‘not’ with an eye roll and taking the phone off her. “Why hello Buck, what would you be calling to ask the 3rd time today?” I ask with a slight chuckle whilst throwing a rubber at Peggy who is winking at me.
“Just checking before I leave to walk you home doll, did you bring a jacket today? It’s freezing outside and I can see your jacket still hung up, would hate for ya to catch a cold especially when you live with someone with an immune system like Steve.” Bucky says, his Brooklyn drawl being clearer than ever.
“You know, I do have more than one coat Buck?” I ask. “Just checking Mona, I didn’t walk you today so I didn’t see what you left in. Just seen what you woke up in or should I say what you didn’t wake up in.” Bucky asks with a hint of flirting and a hint of cockiness in his voice.
“Yes, and if you carry on with your Mr, big ego act that’ll be the last time you see that, Barnes.” I retort.
“Okay we both know that’s not the truth. Anyway, I’m bouta leave doll, will be there in half an hour, will wait in the usual spot.”
“Not true but okay, see you soon Buck” I say trying not to drop the phone from between my ear and shoulder whilst locking my cabinets. “See you soon, darlin'.” Bucky finishes before putting the phone down.
Bucky and I had known each other since being 6 and 9 being introduced by our friend Steve. Steve had been like a big brother growing up, Sarah being nothing but welcoming to my family when we fled to Brooklyn from Russia. Sarah and my mother would both take turns between childcare; me, my three younger sisters and brother being at the Rogers’ every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and half the day Sunday whilst mother would go to work at the laundry where Sarah also worked.
And obviously Steve would be at our house every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Every Sunday we would have dinner at the Rogers’ with our mother. Our father stayed in Russia with mother wanting to flee a situation I wasn’t told about until I was old enough to understand. Father was abusive and an alcoholic and had a job mother didn’t agree with, but we were never told what that job entailed and whilst I found myself wondering every so often, curiosity never killed the cat and I was enormously proud of that.
Bucky, Steve, and I were best friends growing up with Bucky and Steve being stupidly overprotective of me even when I became a fully trained agent and officially full time at SSR. My mother never 100% agreed with my job and whilst Bucky and Steve questioned it at first for my safety, but once they realised I could handle myself (after witnessing me defend myself against a couple of not so nice men who got a bit too close for my comfort) they were 100% supportive of my job, especially Bucky with one less person to save from the allies and one more person to help when Steve found himself on the not so nice ends of the alleys face first into the trash cans.
It was around 18 years old I'd started developing feelings for Bucky, not that I’d never admit it to him, I was far too proud and full of denial for that because he would never go for a girl like myself; at least that’s what I thought until I found myself intertwined in his sheets with his body wrapped around mine after one passionate, unexpected night a year later.
This went from happening every few weeks, to every two weeks, to maybe once a week to every few nights and I’m still in denial that he would ever want to make things official.
I question whether I want to become his girl, especially with my line of work and seeing my parent’s relationship be the bane of their lives when I was younger. All I’ve ever seen is relationships fail and that is why I refuse to put myself through the pain of one. I care about Bucky, he’s the one person who no matter how rotten the day be I’m guaranteed to have a smile on my face when I see him.
When Sarah died both mine and Bucky's families became close ensuring two big family units to support Steve and even a year and a half after she passed; me, Bucky and Steve got a shared apartment together. Sure, it was no five stars, but it was home and as long as the three of us had each other that was all that mattered. Steve was aware of mine and Bucky's “situation” but chose not to get involved.
Stuck in my own little world I'd not realised half an hour had passed and Bucky would be waiting for me so after grabbing my coat and bag I made sure to say bye to Peggy and arrange coffee and breakfast before work tomorrow morning where we could discuss some of the cases privately, seen as though we knew we were massively undermined at SSR we got a lot of thinking and solving done mostly when we were alone together where no male could underestimate or interrupt us.
Walking down out of the doors I spotted Bucky with a glowing grin on his face, it took everything to keep my footing steady. “Hello, beautiful. How would you feel about hot chocolate and dinner on me at our spot?” Bucky asked holding his arm out to me which I gladly took.
“Gee buck, almost sounds like you’re asking me on a date!” I tease earning a nudge to my side causing a fit of laughter.
“One day doll, I’ve already asked several times but one day I will get a yes out of ya.” Bucky retorted.
“I’ll hold you to that Buck, how was your day?” I asked clinging to his arm.
“The usual, woke up to a fine dame next to me, crappy coffee, got to work. Left work, pulled Steve out of an ally, nagged Steve how he’s not ten men and should think before he acts, walked the little punk back to the apartment, read the paper and now I'm here to pick up you. How bout you doll?” Bucky explains with a hint of sarcasm.
“Same old, really strugglin’ with this case I just can’t seem to understand how a whole jewelry store could be robbed without even a fingerprint left behind nor how someone could even get a hold of that damn gas. How many men was it today? Did you or Steve get hurt?” you ask with a sigh giving Bucky's arm a reassuring squeeze.
“Hey Mona, don’t worry too much about it, we both know you’ll get to the bottom of it like always and I’m sure whoever’s guilty will regret it when they have to face the bottom of your shoe. Two guys, managed to reason with them after giving one a right hook.” he winked.
“Oh, I know I will, thanks Buck I can always rely on you for some good old confidence boosting. I give up telling the jackass he’s gotta stop this, I may as well be talking to a brick wall!” I finish with a chuckle. As we walk into the bright, retro diner Bucky holds the door open for me before guiding us both to a booth. As we take our coats off a waitress comes to us.
“Well would ya look who it is, only our two favorites! Where’s Rogers tonight?” Our waitress Nancy asks.
“Probably at home bathing his black eye, sulking about his fight whilst planning his next one.” I exclaim earning a laugh from both Bucky and Nancy.
“I don’t even gotta ask, usual for you two?” Nancy asks pointing between us both with her pen.
“Of course!” Bucky says with a grin
“That’s two hot chocolates and a portion of fries coming up!” Nancy exclaims.
“Thanks, Nance!” we both call.
Me, Bucky and Steve have been coming to this diner since we were in school. Their hot chocolates were practically the glue to our friendships. As I looked up from my hands, I spotted Bucky looking at me with a smile on his face. “What’s got you all smiley?” I ask with a grin.
“Just you!” Bucky exclaims grin turning wider.
“Are you purposely trying to make me blush?” I ask with a chuckle feeling warmth go to my face praying my blusher somewhat cancels the blushing.
“Always doll, I just like to make ya blush and to know I’ve still got it.” Bucky explains with a cocky smirk. Damn you and your godly smile Barnes!
“Glad my embarrassment gives you an even bigger ego boost Buck!” I laugh before our food and drinks get set down and we start tucking in.
*An hour later, on the way home from diner*
“Thank you for that Buck, it was fun. Was nice to be sat anywhere but that office.” I explain.
“S’alright doll, anything to put a smile on your face. I wanted to actually talk to you. This, us been goin' on a little while too long now.” Bucky stopped walking and turned me to face him taking both my hands in his.
“Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” I ask feeling my heart rip into two.
“Yeah, doll.” he grins.
“Oh okay, no I totally get it Buck we’re kinda not going anywhere and I’m really not ready to put myself into a relationship right now and you wanna move on or you’ve already found a girl. I get it, no hard feelings.” I say holding back the tears.
“Woah doll, no no! You’re completely taking it the wrong way. Mona, I like you, scratch that I’m crazy bout you. I understand you don’t wanna take this further just yet, but I can wait,” he says cupping my face in his hands looking into my eyes.
“Buck, I appreciate that so much but there’s so many better girls throwing themselves at you and you’re going to waste them just to wait for me? I could make you wait years and I wouldn’t want that.” I explain placing my hands over his.
“I don’t want them other girls, I want you. You’re the most beautiful, loyal, caring, and bad ass girl I’ve ever met. I will wait as long as you want me to if it means I can have you. Just please tell me you feel the same.” he begs his eyes searching my face for any sign of feeling the same.
“I do Buck, I have for a while.” I admit a small smile making its way to my lips. Bucky gently strokes his thumb across my bottom lip before pulling me in for a sweet, loving kiss. It was suddenly like it was just the pair of us that existed, nobody mattering in that moment but us two. Bucky pulled away keeping his hands on my face, placing his forehead against mine. “I got you, doll” he says before pulling me into his chest resting his chin on my head, wrapping his arms around my shoulders tightly; sighing contently.
“I got you too, Buck.” I reply wrapping my arms around his waist and smiling contently to myself.
“Let’s get home to the punk before he can’t help but lead himself to another alley huh.” Bucky says whilst linking our arms together and directing us both out of the park.
“We should probably check the alleys on our way back Buck.” I suggest
“Glad we're on the same page doll.” Bucky chuckles.
So, It’s the first of many chapters🤩 I’m so so excited!! Just wanted to give a shout out to @i-write-bucky and @jbarness for proof reading this for me!! Angels🤩❤️

Tumblr media
It’s late, and you are walking your dog Geezer before going to bed, as you always do or else you have a dog keeping you awake all night. You’re on your way back home, but stopped while crossing the bridge. You hear someone crying, and find a manly figure sitting on the edge. You walk up to him and ask, “are you alright?” He turns his head to face you, he removed some tears, “Yeah, I’m fine, thanks,” he says. You smile and look down at the river, “you know I can see you have cried, and you’re sitting on the edge of a bridge, and I don’t want you to jump if that’s your plan,” you said and face him. You look directly into his deep blue eyes, and you can see the tears he’s holding back. You take your hand up in front of you,  “I’m Y/n, and this is my dog Geezer, what’s your name?” He takes your hand, “Bucky, and I was not planning to jump,” he says. “Okay, how come you sitting there on the edge?” you ask. He looks at the river, “I like the view, and it takes my mind of things ,” he says. 
A couple of minutes pass before either of you say anything. “You don’t have to stay here,” Bucky says breaking the silence. He turns around and jumps of, and looks at you. “You can just go home, I’ll be fine,” he says. “I just don’t think you should be alone out here,” you say. Bucky looks behind you and say, “well I’m not going to be alone,” and he was cut of by another manly voice, “Bucky what the hell?” You turn around, and see some well known man approaching, but don’t quite remember the name. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you, I have called and texted you, are you serious? You can’t just do that,” says the unknown man. Then he looks at you and takes his hand out for a handshake, “Oh, I’m so sorry I’m Steve Rogers,” You shake his hand, “I’m Y/n,” You think to yourself, Captain America of course, but you will not mention it right now, you can always fangirl another day.  “Well nice meeting you, but will you excuse me I’m going to take my friend back home,” Steve said with a smile, and an evil look at Bucky. “Of course, I hope to see you around Bucky,” you smile. You walk your separate ways home, and Bucky kept looking back at you.
The next day at work you could not hold it back anymore, you had to tell someone. “Amie hey, guess who I met the other night?” “Who, was it a hot guy?” Amie asks. “Yeah you can say so, but I met Steve Rogers,” you said with a huge smile on your face. “Holy…..like Steve, like Captain America, how?” she ask in shock. “Well he came as I was talking to his friend, and he had been looking for him, and……” Amie cuts you off, “What was his friends name?” “His name is Bucky, why?” you ask. “Oh my God, do you know who he is?” you shake your head. Amie starts looking through all of her papers, and pulls out a picture. “Does he look like this?”  she ask with huge eyes. “Yeah, why do you have that, who is he?” you ask still confused. Amie takes you to the side, “who is he Y/n? He’s the winter soldier, James Buchanan Barnes also known as Bucky. I’ve have been writing about him all week,” Amie explains. “So what you are saying is, I just met the winter soldier last night?” you ask. “Yeah, but what I know is he’s recovering, and trying to become an Avenger to make the world better. It’s kinda cool,” she says and waits for you to answer. “Well that’s good to know,” you replied. 
You finished at work and you and Amie headed to your place, to get some dinner. While walking, Amie couldn’t shut up about the story of the winter soldier, and it was interesting. There is this one thing she said, that he has a metal arm. You didn’t see a metal arm, but he was probably covering it up. When you approached the bridge where you met him last night, he was standing there again looking at the river. You lift your finger to make Amie stop talking, and she say “what?” You start walking up to him, “Hey Bucky, hi it’s me Y/n,” you see him turn his head, and he waves at you. “Hey how are you?” you ask. “I’m good thanks, how about you?” Bucky asks, but before you could answer Amie interrupted. “Y/n who….. okay um..hi Mr. Barnes. I’m Amie, huge fan,” she says pretty shocked to see him in real life. “Hi, just call me Bucky,” he says and reaches out for a handshake. Amie shakes his hand and looks at you in excitement, and you just nod with a big smile. You turn your attention to Bucky, “Yeah Amie is my coworker, she has been writing the article about you that came out this morning,” you say just to make Amie a little bit more freaked out. “I actually read it this morning, it’s really good. Good job,” he smiles at her, and she freaks out even more. “Well we better get going before she faints, talk to you later,”  you smile and wave goodbye. 
When you arrived at your apartment, Amie jumps all over the place. “I can’t believe it, I just met Mr. Barnes and he liked my article. Isn’t that crazy?” she asked. “Yes it is, but I’m still surprised how you didn’t faint in front of him,” you laugh. “Hey I’m grown up,I don’t faint in front of famous people, how would I still have my job?” she asks a little offended, but she knows you're just kidding. “I know I know, but a whole other question, what do you wanna eat?” you ask, and you can see on Amies face she doesn’t know. You grab your cooking book in hope of finding something, but it ends up as always with chinese food. 
Later when Amie headed home, you opened your computer. You found Amies article, so why not read it? After reading it, you just wanna check facebook before going for the walk with Geezer, even tho he’s already annoying you. You ignore it for just a moment, and you hit the search on facebook. You search “James Buchanan Barnes” but no one comes up. So you try “Bucky Barnes” instead, and there he is. You click on his profile, and just look to make sure it’s him. One of the first photos is one he is tagged in, with him and Steve. You like the photo, and click follow and close the computer. You find Geezers leash, and make yourself ready. 
 You are walking the usual route, and you are just in your own thoughts until Geezer starts to run and pulls you with him. “Geezer wait!” you yell and loses his leash. You start to run after him, and then he stops at the bridge at a familiar figure, who gets down on his knees to pet Geezer. You run over, “I am so sorry, he just wants to say…..oh Bucky hi. I didn’t see it was you, you’re alright?” you asks after the events yesterday. “Yeah I’m fine I just went for a walk,” he smiles. “So, does your friend know you’re out?” you ask with a little smile. Bucky laughs, “ yeah, so no Steve comes looking for me,” you both laugh, and you break the laughter asking, “so are you heading home now, then?” “Yeah I probably should, or else Steve is coming,” he says. “Well me and Geezer can take a little longer walk today, let us follow you home,” you say and Geezer barks as if he knows what you just said. You start walking, and you ask, “so where do you live? You have your own apartment or do you live with the other Avengers?” He looks over at you for a second, “yeah i live with the others, but I want to have my own place, but Steve won’t let me. He says i shouldn't live alone before at least 3 years have passed” he says. “Well then you just gotta wait those 3 years or what?” you ask. “Yeah i think so, I don’t wanna get into a fight with him again,” 
You and Bucky kept talking, you talked about work, he talked about all the things he finds interesting, things that he missed while he was the winter soldier. Suddenly you already arrived at the Avengers compound. “We’re already here? Oh well, it was nice talking with you. We should grab a cup of coffee sometime,” “yeah that would be nice,” Bucky says. You said goodbye, and Bucky said goodbye to Geezer as well, and you headed back home. 
Bucky went inside, and met Steve waiting for him. “Who was that?” Steve asks curiously. “It was Y/n from yesterday,” Bucky answers, and walks past Steve because he knows what he’s about to say, just like he did yesterday. “Buck you know I think you should get to know her, make a new friend,” Steve says with a smile. “Okay but why is it so important to you?” Bucky asks. “It’s just she seems like a good person, and she also seems good for you. She came up to ask if you were okay, even tho she didn’t know who you were,” “I know Steve, but can’t we take this later I wanna go to bed?” Bucky asked,, and Steve nods. 
When you finally came back home, you noticed something on Geezer. A little piece of paper, you take a look at it. It’s Bucky's number, you put it on your kitchen table and go straight to bed. You just have one problem, you can’t sleep. You keep thinking. Has he seen that you added him on facebook? You can’t keep your curiosity till tomorrow, so you find your computer. You find facebook, and you have one notification. You click on it, and see Bucky added you back. You smile and go out to the kitchen, and find his number. You put it in your contacts, and sends him a text.
Bucky can’t sleep, he is really trying. He turns around and his phone lights up. He takes his phone, and reads the text. - Hi Bucky it’s Y/n, thanks for your number:) - 
Bucky smiles to himself, and answer. But before he finished Friday interrupted, “Mr. Barnes I sense an activity of light from a phone, should I turn on your night light?” Bucky sighs and rolls on to his back, “no Friday, thanks,” he puts his phone down and tries to sleep again.
You wake up the next morning to your alarm, and Geezer trying to push you out of bed. You just turn it off and lie there for a moment. You don’t really have to get up, because you had earned a day off, so you could do whatever you want. You reach out for your phone, and you got a message from Bucky. - Hi, of course. So I was wondering, if you are not doing anything after work today, if you wanted that cup of coffee? - You smile and start texting. You press send and get up to get some breakfast. 
Bucky didn’t get any sleep, but he nearly jumped over to his phone when he got the message from you. 
Y/n  - I’m not doing anything today, I got a day of, so I’m ready when you are :) -  
Bucky - I only  have to do some paperwork for today, so how about 11 am? -  
Y/n - Alright 11 am it is, where should we meet? -
Bucky - How about at the brighde? -
Y/n - That’s a deal, see you then:) - 
Bucky puts his phone in his pocket, and went down to get all the paperwork done as he promised Pepper. 
After you finished your breakfast and texting Bucky, you put on some music and take a bath. When you’re finally done you look out the window and see the sun shining and no clouds in the sky. Why not take a nice summer dress on, so you start looking through your dresses. You finally found it, your knee long yellow flower dress. You put it on, and you also put a little bit of mascara on just to look like a human. You put your hair in a messy bun, and take a look at the clock. It’s already 10:45 am, so you hurry to get your shoes on, kiss Geezers head goodbye and say “you are not coming with me today, so look out for the bad guys,” and you are out the door. You walk as fast as you can, because you don’t wanna be late and when you finally arrive at the bridge Bucky is waiting for you.
Bucky senses a familiar figure approaching, in the corner of his eyes. He turns around and smiles at you. “Hey, you look like someone in a hurry?” he asks with a laugh on his face. “Haha very funny, so where are we going?” you ask. Bucky looks down at you, “I don’t know. I haven’t been on that many cafe’s yet,” he says, kind of embarrassed. “Well that’s alright, what about we start with starbucks?” you ask. Bucky just nods and you lead the way to the nearest starbucks.  
You got your usual iced coffee and Bucky tried it because you said it was good, and you didn’t lie. While walking, you told Bucky a bit from your childhood, and then asks “so Bucky if it’s okay I ask, and you don’t have to answer, but how was your childhood back then?” and look up at him. “Oh you really want to hear that? well uhm it was okay but nothing like yours and……” he continued telling stories and how he met Steve, and you smile to yourself. 
Both you and Bucky haven’t seem to notice that you had reach your apartment. “Oh we are here, I can go up and get my dog? It’s late anyways and I gotta walk him before it’s too late,” Bucky smiles and nods and wait outside, as you go up and get Geezer. While Bucky is waiting, someone approaches him. The person stands right in front of him, with his head looking down. “Can I help you?” Bucky asks calmly, as the person face him and says, “Hail Hydra,” and punches him. Bucky fell to the ground, he tries to get back up to fight back. But before he gets to it, he gets hit again and the Hydra agent starts to kick him. Then Bucky finally get a grip of his ankle, and pull him down. He gets up, and as he is about to hit the agent he sees a gun pointed at him. 
As you are getting Geezers leash you hear a gunshot from outside, you run to the window and see a man running away and a too familiar figure laying at the ground, “Bucky….” you say to yourself and start running down the stairs. You forgot to close your door so Geezer follows you. When you get down, you see Bucky lying on the ground breathing heavily.  “Omg Bucky what happened, are you okay?” you ask and see the blood coming from under his shirt. You then go to him to look at how bad it is, but he stops you. “Please, don’t. Just get me upstairs and call Steve,” Bucky says, and you just nod. He puts his arm around you, and you help him upstairs with Geezer right behind you. When you get upstairs you take him to your bedroom, and find your first aid. You find Bucky’s phone and call Steve and put him on speaker. 
Steve is eating dinner with the others at the compound, when he gets a call from Bucky. He Picks up and, “Hey Buck……” he says and gets interrupted. “It’s Y/n you have to get here now, Bucky got shot, please hurry,” you say and tell him the address. Steve immediately gets his gear just to be sure, and is on his way.
You try to remove Bucky’s shirt, but he won't let you. “Please, can we just wait for Steve to come?” he begs. But you just take a scissor and cuts his shirt open, “you really want me to wait with this?” you ask while you take the bullet out. He mourn in pain, and he takes his hands into fists and put them on to his face. You start to clean the wound afterwards, you get him to sit up and put some bandage on when you hear Geezer bark, and Steve bursting into the bedroom as youre laying Bucky back down.
You and Steve head to the living room to talk, while Bucky rests. You start to cry, “oh I’m sorry, I was just really really scared,” you say and sit down on the couch and  Steve joins. “No don’t be, of course that’s scary,” he says. “He wouldn’t let me see how bad it was at first until I just did it,” you sob. “That’s typical him, but is was good you did it anyways. He did that too back in the 40’s,” Steve explains. You keep talking for a bit, and then you look at the clock, “omg it’s really late you wanna stay over, you can join Bucky then I’ll take the couch,” you say and get up. “No no I take it, it’s your apartment, and I don’t think Bucky minds you being there,” Steve says and winks. You giggle a bit and find a pillow and a spare blanket. 
When the couch was ready for Steve, you go to the bathroom to get ready for bed. You slowly walk into your bedroom, and try to get to bed without waking Bucky up, but then he says, “don’t worry I’m not asleep yet,” and smiles. You lie down beside him and ask him, “do you need anything?” “No I’m good thanks, and thanks for fixing me up, even tho I told you not to,” he says and turns his head to look at you. “Of course,” you smile, and you both go to sleep. 
The next morning Bucky wakes up, and feel some weight on his chest. He looks down to see your head laying on it, he slowly lifts you up and slides out of bed and lays you back down. Bucky walks out and closes the door when he hears, “Goodmorning,” behind him. He turns around to see Steve sitting on the couch with a smirk. Bucky grunts at him, he knows exactly why Steve looks like that. The door was not fully closed when Bucky walked out, so Steve got a glimpse of your head laying on Bucky’s chest. Bucky heads straight to the bathroom. Bucky walks back out to the living  room. “Natasha is picking me up in a minute,” Steve says. “What about me?” Bucky asks a little confused. “I thought you maybe wanted to stay for a little longer,” and even before Steve could say more Bucky says, “Stay? I can’t stay, that wouldn't be safe. Plus I don’t want her being here alone because that agent probably saw me with her,” and they keep discussing about what to do.
You wake up hearing them discuss, and you get up. You go to the living room, and “what’s going on?” you ask, and they both look at you. Bucky leaves, and goes to the bedroom. You look at Steve really confused. “He just don’t think it’s safe for you to be here alone, after last night. He wants you to go back with us to the compound, if you wanna,” Steve explains. “You look surprised,” “yeah of course, I can go pack some stuff. I got one question tho, what about Geezer?” you ask. “Don’t worry he’s coming too,” Steve smiles.
You head to the bedroom to get some clothes to put on and pack some stuff, but also to check on Bucky. You open the door and slide in, and slowly close it. You see Bucky sitting on the floor beside the bed. “You okay?” you ask. Bucky nods even tho you can see he’s not, you crawl down to him and give him a hug. He slowly puts his arms around you, and you just sit there for a moment. Then you break the silence, “hey I’m going with you guys,” you say and pull back to look at him. He smiles, and you get up and start packing. 
When you finished packing, the famous Black Widow, also known as Natasha Romanoff, came to pick you up. You sat in the back seat with Bucky, and Geezer on your lap, and Natasha and Steve in the front. When you arrived at the compound, you were greeted by Wanda who were taking you to the guest room, and Dr. Banner who took Bucky with him, to make sure nothing else was wrong except for the wound you fixed yesterday. You got to your room and Wanda says, “make yourself at home. There's a closet to your clothes, and your bathroom is right behind that door,” and she points at the door. “Is there anything else? Or else you can just call FRIDAY, or ask one of us,” she says. “Thank you very much, I will,” you say and smile, and she leaves you for now till you have unpacked. 
Some hours later, it’s time for dinner. You slowly open the door, and Bucky is standing there about to knock. “I was just about to ask if you wanted some dinner?” he said. “I would love that, and was there anything else than the wound?” you ask a little concerned. Bucky shakes his head, moved to the side, and leads you to the dining room. You go in to join the others, and they greet you both. 
You eat and talk for hours, and get a couple of drinks after dinner. You turn your head to look at Bucky and give him a smile, and he smiles back. But suddenly he stands up and leaves very fast. You look at Steve, because you don’t know if you did anything wrong. Steve gets up to talk to him, and you keep talking with the others, but keep an eye on the hallway. 
Steve walks down the hall, and reaches Bucky’s room. He knocks before walking in, “you okay Buck?” Steve asks. Bucky doesn’t say anything. “What the hell happened?” Steve asks. Bucky looks at him, “I don’t know okay, I just have a weird feeling about her, that I can’t explain. I just don’t know what it is,” he says. Steve knows what it is, but Bucky doesn’t quite believe him. 
After some time you are on your way to your room, and you meet Steve in the hallway. “Hey is he okay?” you ask. “Yeah kind of, but he would like to be alone right now. You can talk to him tomorrow if you want,” Steve suggested. “Oh okay of course, well goodnight then,” you say and walk to your room. You find your phone and text Bucky, but you don’t expect an answer. You put your phone down, and get ready for bed. You’re lucky you didn’t have to walk Geezer today because of the big field they have. 
Bucky is looking at the ceiling, laying in bed thinking. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees his phone light up. He turns over to lay on his side, and check his phone. It’s a message from Y/n. - Hey, just want to know if I did something, I’m sorry. But goodnight:) - Bucky don’t know what to say right away, so he just put his phone back and try getting some sleep. 
You wake up in the middle of the night really thirsty. So you get up and silently walk out to the kitchen to get a glass of water. While standing by the sink, you hear someone approaching. Just when you put the glass down and turn to go back. You bump into Bucky, “oh I’m sorry I didn’t see you,” you whisper. “It’s okay, just can’t sleep, and heard some noise,” he says. You nod, “okay but I will go back to bed,” you say, and before you can leave. Bucky takes your arm and says, “by the way, at dinner you didn’t do anything wrong,” and let’s you go. You leave the kitchen, and go to your room.
Bucky stands in the kitchen thinking about what to do, because everyone is asleep. He walks down the hallway, and stops at your door. He then slowly knocks, and waits to see if your still awake. The door opens, “hey” you say looking tired. “Can I maybe come in?” he asks. You open the door so he can come in, and you go over to the bed and Bucky just stands still. “Come,” you say and make room for him. “I just don’t wanna be alone,” he explains. You just nod, “okay, that’s fine, just try to get some sleep,” you said and smile. You both went to sleep, and Bucky could finally sleep. 
Bucky wakes up early, he looks over at you, who is still in a deep sleep. He gets up and see if anybody else is up, he knew Tony, Nat and Sam were going on a mission, and don’t know if they already left. He slowly walks around the compound to look after them, but they’re nowhere to be seen. He goes to his room to put some clothes on, and go for a walk. 
Hours later you wake up, to Geezer basically standing on your face. You laugh and push him away, and sit up. Then you notice that Bucky has left, but he probably woke up before you. You go to the bathroom, and get ready for the day, not that anything is happening today because it’s Sunday. You go out to the kitchen where the others are, “Goodmorning, have you seen Bucky? He’s not answering his phone,” Steve says and looks concerned. You shake your head, “sorry no I haven’t seen him yet, have you looked for him?” you ask. “Of course I have, I’ve looked all over the place,” Steve says a bit frustrated. You think for a moment, “can I try look for him?” you ask. “Please, because I can’t find him, just wanna make sure he’s safe,” Steve explains. You nod, and find Geezer and starts to go for a walk. You have an idea of where Bucky could be.
Bucky is standing by the bridge, enjoying the view. He takes a sip of the ice coffee he bought, the same one that you got the day you were hanging out. “Morning Bucky,” you then say. “Oh morning, hey Geezer,” he says and squats to pet Geezer. You see the iced coffee in Bucky's hand, “huh, you got iced coffee without me?” you ask a little offended and smile. “Oh yeah we can go grab one for you if you want to,” he suggest. “I would love that, but then we should go back, Steve is a little worried about you,” you say. “Has he texted, and called?” he ask, and you nod. “Well I didn’t bring my phone so,” he smiles. You laugh at him, and you both go to get you an iced coffee.
When you and Bucky got home, you were greeted by a not so happy Steve. “Where the hell were you, and why didn’t you answer your phone?” Steve asks. “I just went for a walk, and I didn’t bring my phone,” Bucky responded. Steve and Bucky kept talking, while you went to your room to lay in bed. You fell asleep for just a minute. You woke up again, to a knock on your door. “Come in,” you say and lift your head to see who it is. It’s Bucky. He walks over, to sit beside you. “Oh hey Buck,” you say and sit up. He looks sad, “Is something wrong?” you ask. “It’s just Steve always gets angry when he doesn't know where I am,” he explained. You sit in silence for a second, and you say “I think it’s just because he’s worried about you, and scared for losing you again,” you smile. 
You sit and talk for a bit, when you notice Bucky just staring at you while you talk. You pause, smile and ask “what?” He didn’t answer, he leaned in and kissed you. He pulls back, “I’m so sorry,” he says, and gets up and walks out. Before you could say something, he was gone. But if you did say something, it wouldn’t help because you don’t know what you would say. You are just surprised that he just did that, and didn’t have any words in mind. You sit for a minute, before you get up to find Bucky. On your way down the hallway to find his room, you meet Steve who stops and asks, “I just saw Bucky run to his room, do you know if something is wrong?” “Nope, I don’t know. I’m on my way to see if he’s okay,” you say. When you finally reach his room, you knock on the door.
Bucky walks up to his door and opens it to see who it is, even though he knew it was you. When he opened the door you walked in, and he closed it again. “Y/n I’m really sorry about that, I wasn’t thinking I…..” before he could explain, you interrupted “It’s okay, it happens. I just wanted to make sure you were okay, because you kinda ran away,” you laugh. “I know, I just thought it was wrong, because you didn’t say anything,” he explains. “I just didn’t know what to say, I hadn’t seen that coming,” you say. Bucky puts his face in his hands, and starts to cry. You walk over to him and put your arms around him. “Hey, it’s okay,” you say, a little concerned. You pull back to look at him, “I’m sorry it’s just….. I don’t know,” he says. “Don’t be, you didn’t do anything,” you say and put your arms around him again.  
Bucky pulls back, “I’m just a little confused these days and Steve is kind of stressing me out sometimes,” he explains. You look at him for a minute and then say, “I think you should tell him that, just so he knows.” He nods, and doesn't say anything. You sit there in silence until you get up, and walk out the hallway. You go to the living room and find Steve, “uhm I think Bucky would like to talk to you,” you say. Steve leaves, and you sit down and join the others. 
There passed a good 2 months, and you were still at the Avengers compound. After 2 weeks you had been there you said you could go home, but Bucky insisted you stayed for longer. Nothing had happened the last 2 months, not even anything in public. Bucky was just scared anything would happen if you went back home, but now you were packing so you could go home. Bucky has promised you he would drive you home, so you could stay for dinner and say goodbye to everyone. 
After what had happened between you and Bucky, things were a little awkward, the first couple days after. but then you started talking again, and now everything is fine. He started to come more and more into your room at night, so he could sleep. He didn’t really know why he did it, he just kind of felt safe, and had less nightmares. He still has some, but you kinda calmed him down so he could sleep again afterwards. 
Bucky knocked at your door before he walked in with Geezer. He smiled at you and said, “I’m going to miss going on walks with him,” and you laughed to yourself. “You're always welcome to go with us on walks or come pick him up for one,” you offered. Bucky smiled even more, “thanks,” he said. He walked out again, and left you alone with Geezer so you  could pack the last stuff. 
Later that day it was time for dinner, and saying goodbye. After an hour or so you were ready to go, and you got in the car with Bucky. You didn’t really say anything on the way to your apartment. When you arrived, Bucky helped you get your stuff and then you talked. “Well I should probably get going before a certain Rogers comes after me,” Bucky laughs, and gets up from the couch. You followed him out to the hall and said goodbye.
The next couple of days, you and Bucky mostly just texted, and he came to pick up Geezer for a walk. Even though you told Bucky he could just come and pick him up, he always texted to ask if he could walk with Geezer. Bucky had picked Geezer up this afternoon, and  then Amie came. Her car broke down, so she asked to sleep on your couch and drive with you to work the next couple of days. You of course said yes, you didn’t mind and it’s easier than picking her up in the morning. You guys were drinking coffee, because Amie had to tell you what happened when the car broke, and it was not that interesting. But you didn’t know that much about cars, only how to drive and all that.
Then you had Geezer coming to your rescue, as he came running into the living room. “Hey boii,” you said, and looked out to the hall where Bucky came into frame. “Hey Buck, you want a cup of coffee?” you ask. “No thank you, I should get going anyway. But I don’t know if I can walk Geezer tomorrow, but I’ll text you,” he says and smiles. He then noticed Amie, “oh hey um, Amie was it?” he asked. “Yes hi,” she said, and couldn’t get more words out. Bucky waved goodbye, and took off. 
Amie looks at you with big eyes, “what?” you ask. “How the hell do you get the winter soldier to walk your dog?” she asks, still surprised. “You remember I was at the compound for 2 months, he really likes walking with Geezer. I just said he could walk him any time,” you explained. Amie still couldn’t believe it, that he just walked in with Geezer like it was just a normal day. Which it was for you, Geezer and Bucky. Because it happens kind of everyday now, but you knew it helped Bucky mentally somehow. 
You and Amie went to bed early, she took the couch and Geezer slept with you in your bedroom. You didn’t close the door fully, but that was for Geezer if he got Hungry or thirsty in the middle of the night. You got ready for bed, you lay down and fell asleep. 
You wake up to Geezer barking and your phone lightning up. You take your phone, it’s Steve calling and you look at the time, and it is 1:23 am. You pick up and walk out the hall to shut Geezer up. “Hey Steve,” you say. “Hi sorry for calling, it’s just I think I heard Bucky scream, and he’s not in his room, do you know anything?” Steve asks. “No sorry Steve he hasn't texted me or anything, but I’ll let you know if I hear anything,” you promised. As you end the call, someone knocks at the door and Geezer starts to growl. You look through the spy on your door, and see Bucky on the other side of the door. 
You quickly open the door, “hey Buck are you okay?” you ask. Bucky doesn't say anything, and you just stand there. You notice on his shirt he has been sweating, he has big black circles under his eyes, and his eyes are full of tears. You take his hand and pull him inside, you look at him and ask again, “are you okay Buck?” He puts his arms around you, and you do the same. You rub your hand up and down his back, and he starts to cry. You pull back, and cup his face and move his tears with your thumbs. “Hey hey, what’s going on?” you ask. Bucky takes a deep breath, “I just had an awful nightmare,” he said. You hug him again, and then you walk to your bedroom. 
You close the bedroom door, and walk to the kitchen. You take your phone and call Steve, “Hey, you got anything on Bucky?” Steve asks. “Yes, he’s here. He got a nightmare he said, and that’s all I could get out of him,” you explain. “Okay, well give me a couple of minutes and I’ll pick him up,” he says. “No Steve it’s fine, you go back to bed. You can pick him up tomorrow instead,” you say. Steve agrees, and you end the call. You walk back to the bedroom, and Bucky is sitting in the bed. 
You walk over to him, and his head falls onto your stomach. You put your hand on his head, and nuzzles his hair. Bucky takes your other hand, and shakes it carefully, “I’m sorry,” he says. You pull back, “don’t be sorry, you had a nightmare. It’s okay, but you should try getting some sleep now okay?” you ask, because you’re not sure if he wants to sleep. He nods, and you turn off the light. You both lay down, and Geezer opens the door and lies down at your feet. 
The next morning you wake up with Bucky’s arms around you, and you slowly sneak out of bed so you don’t wake up Bucky. As you walk out to the hall, you close the door and walk to the kitchen. “So what’s that all about?” Amie asks, and points in the direction of your bedroom. “What do you mean?” you ask. “You and Barnes, sleeping together? Your door was open and I had to pee so you cannot say he isn’t in your bedroom right now,” she says. You laugh at her, “he had a nightmare,” you explain. “About what?” she asks, “I don’t know, and if I did I wouldn't tell you,” you say. You start to make some coffee, and Amie says “Y/n” and points to the doorway where Bucky is standing. “Hey um, is it okay if I take a shower?” he asks. “Of course let me grab you a towel,” you say and smile at him.  
You gave Bucky the towel, and as he went to the bathroom, you hear a knock on the front door. Amie was already on her way to open the door for you, but you walked in front of her and got the door. “Oh hey Steve, Bucky is taking a bath, but I just made coffee,” you say and points to the kitchen. Steve walked down the hall, and entered the kitchen. Before you could go grab a cup of coffee too, Amie stopped you. “Hey Steve? HEY STEVE? Do you know who he is?” she asks, shocked over you being so casual around them. You laugh at her, “yes Amie I know, he’s Captain America.” 
While Amie tries to take that in, you go grab a cup of coffee and talk to Steve. “So do you know why he came here?” Steve asks. “No he hasn't talked about it really, so I don’t know but nothing happened to him and that’s the important thing,” you say and take a sip of your coffee. As you and Steve talked Bucky came out to the kitchen, he sat down until Steve was ready. You hugged Bucky and Steve goodbye, Steve and you agreed on if it happened again you texted each other, whoever noticed first.
When Bucky and Steve arrived at the compound, they parked the car in the basement. They both got out and Steve had to stop Bucky before going inside. “Hey what happened, what was the nightmare?” Steve asks. “It’s nothing, okay.” Bucky says. “Tell me what was it?” Steve asks again. “I just had a nightmare. Of me, killing Y/n. I’m sorry but I had to see if it was true,” Bucky explains, and starts to cry.

Work of Art (Bucky x Reader)
/N: Friendly reminder that requests are still open! This imagine is inspired by an imagine I read on here. Enjoy! Oh and also, I just reached 300 followers on Tumblr! Thank you so much for reading! 
---
Bucky never let anyone near his left side, particularly his left arm. Sure, part of it was an insecurity problem. He lost count of how many times people gawked at the sight of the silver material of his left hand, even if it was only because his sleeve pulled up only a few inches. But insecurity wasn’t the only problem. In fact, it was hardly anything compared to the other reason.
Many people had died because of it…
Buildings had crashed down, families in swarms of panic, simple chaos…
All because HYDRA found him, nearly dead and with one less limb than he had the previous day, and turned him into their weapon… with a new arm.
The screams echoed in the back of his mind whenever anyone touched it, and he could hardly look Tony Stark in the eyes anymore after he saw the video of himself killing his parents. In fact, it took a long time before they could even be near each other.
Months had passed since that dreadful day, and he had since returned to the Tower with Steve. Bucky kept himself locked in his room most days, except to work out in the gym early in the morning while everyone else was still asleep.
Well… almost everyone.
Bucky walked into the gym one early morning a few minutes before 5, when he heard soft grunts of exertion coming from the far corner. A familiar (y/h/c) haired girl was in front of one of the punching bags, jabbing harshly at the surface in front of her. She wore a pair of black leggings and a pink sports bra. For a split second, Bucky’s heart fluttered, but he looked away.
“I’m sorry for interrupting your gym time.” She turned around and smiled, panting softly. “I couldn’t sleep. Thought a little work out would be a better use of my time than rolling around in my bed.”
Bucky’s eyes widened slightly, but remained silent for a moment before responding, his voice slightly cracking. “It’s fine.”
“Bucky Barnes, right?” She walked closer and held out her hand. “Y/N Y/L/N. We’ve met, but haven’t talked much.”
Hesitantly, he reached out his hand and shook hers gently. “Nice to see you.”
He saw her eyes flicker down to his other arm, which was completely exposed in his black tank top. Bucky immediately felt the insecurity and the need to keep her safe sink down onto him, pushing him to stay away from her. “I should probably get going.”
“You just got here.” Y/N’s voice rang with confusion, and her eyebrows furrowed.
“I… I forgot that Steve needed me to look over some papers for the briefing today.” His words were rushed and rambled. “I’ll see you around.”
As he turned to leave, a warm hand grasped his metal wrist and he froze in his spot. He turned slowly, and looked at her. She wasn’t scared. If anything… she was just the opposite.
Her eyes were slightly sad as she looked at his arm before looking at Bucky again. “I’m not afraid.”
He closed his eyes as he felt her hand move up from his wrist to his bicep, almost shivering as her fingers brushed lightly against the scar that connected the metal to his body. His eyes flashed open again to look down at her.
“Why not?” Bucky’s voice was a low whisper, cautious as he waited for her response.
“You are not an object to be controlled anymore, Bucky.” Y/N’s hand slowly started to trail back down his arm. “HYDRA doesn’t own you. You are free.”
“I hurt so many damn people.” A lump formed in his throat and he fought back tears. “I can’t add any more people to that list.”
“I know you well enough to know that won’t happen.” Her fingers intertwined with his, and his heart jumped slightly. “Because I’ll be with you the rest of the way.”
His fingers moved gently and squeezed her hand gently. It was silent for a few more moments before conversation broke out once again.
“I don’t know if you’d want this… but I have an idea to change the way your arm looks… you know, if you want it to be less intimidating.”
“Show me…” Bucky smiled, and Y/N nodded before leading him out of the room and down the hall. After a few twists and turns, they reach a door that Bucky does not recognize. After swiping her card, and punching in a few numbers, the door opens.
The room is dark, and Bucky can make out a few shapes that look almost unrecognizable. The lights turn on, and his eyes widen. At least twenty easels were set up, each with an extraordinary painting in the works or completed resting on it. As he looked around, Y/N cleared her throat softly. He turned to see her standing with a few brushes and a few pallets of paint. “So… Want to try it out?”
6 MONTHS LATER…
Bucky could not say that he had ever been happier, even in the 1940s. In the span of six months, Y/N had made him the happiest man alive. From that night on, Y/N used her washable paint and created illustrations on his arm, transforming it from a symbol of HYDRA’s doing to a reminder of what life lay ahead of him.
Bucky kept the paintings on his arm for about a week before scrubbing it off in the shower with a sponge and soap. Sure, it took some work and a good forty to fifty minutes, but it was sure as hell worth the time. Every Monday morning, at five AM, he would find himself wandering into her little artist nook, where she sat waiting with her paints and brushes, and told her some ideas for a new painting. It was like their own little date… which eventually led to real dates, outside of the building and not in the early hours of the morning.
One date led to another, and here they were… five months into a healthy and beautiful relationship, and now currently, back in the art studio.
Y/N laughed as Bucky put a blindfold over her eyes. “I can’t believe we’re doing this.”
“I just wanna try it… maybe it’ll be my new hobby.” The humor in his voice suggested otherwise, and Y/N couldn’t help the giggle escaping her lips as she sat down on the stool he led her to. “Or… maybe not.”
“Well… let’s see what you can do, Mr. Barnes.” Y/N rolled up her sleeve and held out her arm.
For the next hour or so, Y/N sat there grinning as she heard little curses slip past his lips as he tried to open the containers of paint and began to paint the skin of her arm. Eventually, he let out a sigh of relief and chuckled. “Alright, doll. The master piece is complete. Ready to see?”
“I was born ready. Take off the blind fold.” A moment later, the fabric slipped from her eyes, and she glanced down.
Y/N had to bite back her laughter as she took it all in. Lots of colors were used, and lots were mixed together in a messy fashion. There were a few animals, some that she could distinguish as cats and dogs, and some that almost resembled what she might thought aliens looked like. But… the one part that was perfect was the red heart on the inside of her wrist, with the letters “B+ (your initial)” delicately painted.
“You can laugh, I know it’s bad.”
“It really is.” Y/N laugh, and Bucky rolled his eyes. She moved to where he stood and leaned up to kiss his cheek softly. “But I love the heart. And I love you.”
His cheeks turned slightly pink, but a big grin lit up his face before he leaned down and kissed her softly. In the moment of distraction, he picked up a paintbrush and pulled away to swipe it across her cheek. “That’s what you get for saying my art work sucked!”
“Hey!” Y/N squealed before picking up another one, and dipping it in paint before lunging at Bucky. He dodged the attempt, and ran out the door, laughing all the way. Y/N followed him down the hall at a full spring, passing by both Steve and Tony as they walked the other direction.
They stopped for a moment and just watched as the two ran at full speed down the long hall way.
“What the hell just happened?”
“Language!”
(A/N 2: Oh God, this ending is so bad. XD I'm sorry lmao)

Forgive & Promise
Pairing: Bucky x Reader
Words: 853
Summary: Bucky and you are secretly in a relationship, and when Tony holds one of his renowned parties, he makes a stupid mistake...
Warning: Fluff, drunk and sad Bucky
This is my first published imagine ever. Sorry if it’s too short and shit! Enjoy! xx
Tumblr media
———————
Having worked with the Avengers as a secretary for Tony, you were instantly obligated to attend your boss' parties. Not that you mind of course, you loved the fact that you could have a night off here and there, and let loose. But you also knew how quickly things got out of hand, with the amount of alcohol available, including Thor’s special drink, being drunk and carefree was natural. It was different this time, you were more anxious... Being in a discrete relationship with Bucky Barnes had its perks: you were mostly nervous of going public than Bucky was. Nonetheless, you were excited to see him soon, but as usual you were running late. You'd just finished putting on your tight dress, that hugged your body enough for your shape to be show. And Bucky loved that... He was obsessed with your body, the way you'd walk, stand, bend or do anything ! He loved every inch of you.
The convenience of living in the Avengers tower was also pure luck... You'd just taken the lift and managed to make your way into the party, quickly being offered a drink by one of the waiters. You made your way towards the Avengers, including Bucky who found it hard not to stare or bite his lip...Sam, having had a few to drink & being the cheeky guy that he is, insisted on a game of Truth or Dare.
Beginning the game, Steve was dared to flirt with a brunette across the room & was hopeless, Natasha told the truth about her one night stands proudly, being fully aware of her charisma, and soon after Bucky was chosen for a dare that was to walk upto any girl in the room to makeout with. This being one of the few times Bucky had been to a party in a century, he’d felt he could let loose... You were preparing yourself, for everyone to find out the truth about you too, being aware that the truth would come out some time, and what better place than at a party with your friends? Wrong... Bucky mindlessly, yet drunkly walked past you towards a blonde by the bar, who did not hesitate to kiss him back... It looked as if she’d been waiting for him this entire night.
“That’s my boy!” Sam shouted, hyping Bucky up even more, the crowd left to witness the dare, though you stayed put, along with Steve.
“You alright y/n? You don’t seem to happy over Bucky’s first makeout since like 1945?” He asked.
At this point, you couldn’t answer, all you felt was disappointment, so you knew it be best to leave the party, to avoid causing a scene.
“I am... I just don’t feel so good, I think I’ll have an early night... Tell him I’m real happy for him” you choke, trying to smile it off.
Walking off, you felt angry, you couldn’t even look back, with the image of Bucky kissing a complete stranger burning in your mind ...
You’d gotten to your room, and you immediately dropped yourself onto your bed, glancing at the ceiling, as tears fell down your eyes.
You felt ashamed to cry. You should have known you and Bucky wouldn’t have lasted. Hours had past and you were still wide awake, wondering if Bucky was even aware you’d left the party... Until you had heard knocks on your door.
“Y/n I know you’re awake, your lights are on... Just please let me talk.” You heard Bucky’s regretful tone. You sat up and didn’t reply, waiting to hear more of what he had to say...
“I’m stupid... I shouldn’t have done what I had done. I don’t know what got over me, I drank too much of T-Thor’s special drink... Sam and the guys pushed me into it. No excuse could make up for it.”
“You could have chosen me, we could have just come out to everyone that we’re together. But you didn’t Bucky.” You cried.
“Please y/n if you won’t let me in, just please listen to me & know that I didn’t mean to hurt you, that wasn’t my intention... Just please forgive me, I’ll understand if you don’t want to look at me or talk to me now, but just please don’t end what we have. I know you have your doubts about us, but please know that I love you and only you.”
“You proved that tonight...” you sarcastically whispered.
“Please y/n ... I can’t rest knowing that you don’t forgive me... I promise you, I’ll never do anything like this again, now that I feel the consequences.”
At this point, you stood near the door, your hand on the knob, you took a deep breath in and opened the door to the tall, bulky figure of Bucky, that literally covered the entire door space...
“You cried... I feel even more guilty. I am so sorry my love, I’ll make it up I swear, just please don’t resent me.” He said as he cupped your face in his hands.
“One last chance... Remember you promised never again.” You boldly stated.
“I promise” he smiled, looking more relieved than ever, kissing your forehead.

Can you write something where Tony Stark has a daughter who pursues a music career and he has a studio set up at the compound for when she’s in town. She shows up with her band for a rehearsal and the team stand by and her music is more on the hard rock/metal side with a lot of vulgarities so Tony’s laughing at Steve’s horrified expression to the lyrics. She’s also dating Bucky cause bucky stark reader is the cutest thing. ❤️
I was listening to ‘The Pretty Reckless’ whilst coming up with this and I kinda had something like them in mind for it. Sorry if it’s not what you had in mind… Hope you enjoy.
I don’t own The Pretty Reckless - they’re pretty cool!Not so little girl!
Tony Stark was many things. A self proclaimed Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist being the most famous of all. But, the one that tops everything; he’s a proud father. In the late 80’s whilst he was living the wild lifestyle he had a small relationship with a woman at the time, he probably cared a lot about her but he was too selfish to notice. The only thing to come of it was you. When the woman found out she was pregnant she contacted Tony to let him know she was going to end the pregnancy because she couldn’t afford two mouths to feed. Tony begged her not to. He knew he wouldn’t get another chance to have a child and he wanted to have someone to share his love with. Nine months later he received the call from the hospital that he had a baby daughter but her mother had died during labour.
Tony Stark had ‘loved’ many women in his life but the moment he laid eyes on you, he knew you were his and he knew he could never love another like you. You were his little girl. He kept you well clear of Stark Industries until you were old enough to understand, not wanting to corrupt you like it had him in some way. You always wanted to be like your daddy as a little girl but the older you got the more it change. From being like Pepper to being who you were now.
You were the front-woman of a quite popular band that consisted of you and three guys. You formed the band back in 2009 around the same time your father became Iron-man. Wanting to keep you close to home when you weren’t off touring the world with the band, Tony built you a studio in the tower and more recently the compound. He’d listen to a whole song of yours since forming, claiming ‘not my thing’ even though it was practically what he listened to all day every day but none the less he was very proud that you hadn’t used him or the Stark name to further yourself in the world. You loved being in a band but you loved your father and his friends more so you’d always go home when you can. Especially now you and Bucky were dating. God you loved your Winter man.
Three hours ago you arrived back at the compound with your band and hand spent the entire time in the studio with Peter, Wanda, and Natasha. Bruce and Clint were also home but busy doing other things and were ‘too old’ to be listening to your sort of music. The others including your father and boyfriend were off on a mission.
“Wow, Y/N, these are sounding awesome!” Peter grinned up at you from the sofa. When you had asked Peter to sit on your studio session for his opinion on your new music he nearly flipped what with him being a fan.
“You think?” you winked at him. “Not too… intense?” you bit your lip.
Nat shook her head. “Hell no. I think this might be your best album, Y/N.”
You thanked them as you turned round to face the boys. “Alright, shall we go over ‘Messed Up World’?” you smiled. The boys nodded and began playing the notes and the beat to the song. As you began singing into the mic you closed your eyes and let the vibrations take over you.
You were unaware that Tony, Steve, Bucky, Thor and Sam had arrived back and were stood alongside Nat and Wanda watching you. Tony actually was enjoying it, tapping and nodding his head to the beat whilst Bucky licked his lips as he watched you, discreetly adjusting his pants. It had been three long months for the super soldier and hearing you sing words like this was a turn on for him. A sudden bark of laughter caught not only Bucky’s attention but yours and everyone else in the room. Tony was bent over howling with laughter as Steve stood looking somewhat horrified.
“Dad?” you raised your eyebrow at him as you place your hand on your hip. “What’s so funny?”
Tony pointed to Steve, still laughing. “His- face-”
“What’s the matter, Cap? Too much ‘fondueing’?” Natasha teased him only making him even more embarrassed. 
“I’m confused? Where was fondue in that song? There was only se-” Steve cut Thor off with a quick hello to you before he spun round on his heels and left. Nat and Wanda took off after him with Sam as they carried on teasing him, Tony Still laughing at him.
“Dad!” you scolded as you walked up to him. He muttered an apology before pulling you into a tight, loving hug, declaring he’d missed you so much you weren’t allowed to leave for a whole year. “At least my job is safe.” you answered back as you rolled your eyes at him.
“Mouth young lady.” he warned with a smirk. “FRIDAY, call Pepper, tell her we’re having a family dinner. Everyone’s invited.” Tony grabbed Peter by the scruff of his shirt. “C’mon kid, you can ask your Aunt… but don’t tell her you were down here… she’ll kill me… what’s wrong with you? I thought you were goin-” Tony dragged Peter out making you smile. He’d never admit it to anyone but he enjoyed having someone young look up to him. He liked being dad.
You turned to face Bucky as everyone else filed out including your band to go get ready for dinner. “Hey.” you smiled up at him as you slid your arms around his waist.
“Hey yourself.” he smirked down at you as he leaned in, pressing his lips to yours.
You and Bucky had been dating over a year now and you couldn’t be any happier. Your dad wasn’t too thrilled about it after everything but he understood how the pair of you felt. It didn’t stop him from threatening Bucky with ‘If you ever hurt my baby girl I’ll rip your other arm off and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine’. Poor Bucky tried his best to take the threat seriously but he just couldn’t hold his laugh in. He stopped when Tony mentioned the Hulk was rather fond of you.
“I’ve missed you, doll.” Bucky’s hands held your face as he kissed you again and again. “I’ve been waiting three months to get my hands on you…” he smirked against your lips.
You moaned softly into his mouth, agreeing with him. “Me too.”
“I like your new stuff… can’t wait to have my own private, showing.” Bucky winked at you smugly.
“You know, it’s pretty sound proof down here.” you nibbled his bottom lip. Bucky growled against your mouth as he bent over, picking you up and wrapped your legs around his waist.
He went to sit on the sofa with you but your dad being who he was, wasn’t having it. “DON’T. EVEN. DARE!” his voice erupted over the speakers causing Bucky to almost drop you.
“Shit, doll I’m-” he gulped placing you gently on the floor.. “He has cameras in here?” Bucky whispered with wide eyes.
“Uh oh!” you gasped at the realisation. this would be the first time you’d been almost caught. down here. “We should-“
“Yes, you should.” Tony pulled a disgusted face at the thought of his daughter being intimate with Terminator. He still has nightmares about what he only heard thankfully, he might have had an heart attack if he had laid eyes on that terrifying scene.
“What’s the matter, daddy? Too much ‘fondueing’?” Natasha teased Tony, causing Steve to burst out laughing at his friend’s discomfort.

Beautiful Boy (Bucky Barnes)
Summary: A little boy runs into (y/n) and she needs to help him find his dad.
A/N: I don’t know if the permanent tags wanted to be in others besides my peter Parker soo…
Pairing: Dad!Bucky Barnes x Reader!
Warnings: Uh noooo
// Masterlist //
Words: 1,050
 (Y/n) was walking down the street clad in gym clothes, giant headphones on while singing out loud, she’d failed to notice the little body speeding her way. Something hard ran into her, nearly knocking (y/n) over in the process. Catching herself, she gazed down to find a roughly six-year-old boy with big blue eyes and floppy brown curly hair, looking up at her in wonder. Taking her headphones off (y/n) glanced around and couldn’t see anybody racing to their son.
“Hello, I’m Jake!” The little boy randomly blurted out. (Y/n) hesitated before dumping her shoulder bag on the floor and crouched down to his eye-level. “Hello Jake, I’m (y/n). Are you lost? Where are your parents?”
“I only have a dad! My mom died when I was born.” Slightly saddened, (y/n) put her hand on his shoulder. “I’m sorry about that. Do you know where your dad is?”
He didn’t need to answer, a very worried voice boomed over the crowd. “Jacob!” The little boy didn’t seem to notice the voice, but (y/n) sure as hell did. “Do you want to come with me? I know where your dad is.”
The little boy shook his head, “I’m not supposed to go with strangers.” Smiling at Jake (or Jacob), glad the boy had some smarts, she asked. “What’s your dad’s name?” There was a slight pause as if the boy was contemplating his own dad's name. “His names Bucky, or James. I’m not sure, people in the tower call him different things. Aunty Nat calls him ass-” (y/n)’s eyes widened. “Okay, okay” she laughed nervously.
Standing to her full height, (y/n) calls over the crowd, one hand on Jake’s shoulder. “James! JAMES!” She had to call a couple times over the noise. Glancing down to ice blue eyes, she finds Jake smiling up at her. (Y/n) couldn’t help but let out a silent ‘aw’. Breaking the moment, she looked up only to find identical eyes to the boy looking back at her.
The man came closer, somewhat suspiciously until he saw Jake and his whole demeanor changed. Rushing forward and embracing his son, James begins to look over Jake for any damage. “Why the hell did you run off bud?” The man, James, said sternly but with a light smile on his face. “I saw this really pretty girl-” Jake points at (y/n), “and I wanted to talk to her!”
James/Bucky glanced up at (y/n), before looking back at Jake and laughed. “You’re like your old man, trying to charm every beautiful dame you see, huh?” (Y/n) scoffed with light humor, crossing her arms. James finally looked up at (Y/n) and gave her a dazzling smile before standing to his full height.
Now looking down at her, he offered her his flesh hand. “I’m James Barnes, thanks for finding my son.” Still smiling at (y/n), she started to smile back, “(Y/N) (Y/L/N). It was no problem seeing as he found me first.” They both laughed lightly. “Can I offer to buy to coffee, as thanks?” (Y/N) contemplated the offer but looking down at Jakes big blue puppy eyes, she was convinced. “Yeah, that would be great.”
Entering the café, they re-took the booth James and his son had been occupying before he randomly ran off. Deciding to sit opposite of Jake, (y/n) smiled lightly at the handsome man now ordering her coffee.  Slowly turning her head, (y/n) found the young boy staring at her and a charming smile, like his fathers, resting on his lips. “Can you ask my dad out on a date?”
Choking on air slightly, (Y/n) smiled softly. Actually turning the idea of a date with the quite attractive man in her head, she answered.“Maybe when we know each other better.” Jake smiled even bigger, if possible. James returned to the table carrying two coffees and a small milkshake for Jake, who decided to strike up a random conversation. The boy was very enthusiastic about school and spent twenty minutes talking about their science class while (y/n) listened attentively and asked questions at the right times. During so, both adults were stealing glances at each other without the other noticing. Jake, however, seemed to notice and decide to turn the conversation around.
“Hey, dad?" 
"Yes, Jacob?” (Y/n) wasn’t really listening in, too busy admiring the adoring relationship between the father and son. She could see the pure devotion and love James had for his son and a thought slipped through her mind. He must have loved Jake’s mom very much, (y/n) hoped someone could give her that same affection.
 Suddenly hearing her name spoken, she zoned back in. “Oh, sorry! What did you say?”
“You want to play pinball with me?” Jake said excitedly. Looking to where he was pointing, (y/n) could see a small pinball machine and a small driving machine. “Uh-” “you go ahead, Jake. (Y/n)’s okay here,” James answered for her as his son darted off the machines.
Watching him go, (y/n) couldn’t wait until she got to have kids with the person she loved. “You have a beautiful boy…” (y/n) let slip, looking to see Bucky admiring his son.
“Yeah, I mean he really takes after me. Shame.” (Y/n) let out a loud attractive (not) snort and laugh. “Yeah, it’s a real crying shame. Those baby blue eyes and curls are just so disappointing” causing James to laugh. The silence drifted around them, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.
“So, about that date?”
“Did you… did you use your son to talk to me?!”
“Definitely not,” Bucky said while tipping up his coffee to drink and (y/n) saw the large smile growing on his pink lips.

Warning: Swearing, Mentions of alcohol, dive bar, mentions of misogyny, Fluff.
Word Count: 1,840
Summary: Loosely based on the movie 10 Things I Hate About You.
TV and Movie inspired Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Come on, Buck." Steve groaned while he shoved his hands into the front pockets of his jeans. "You haven't dated since the forties. Don't you think it's time to get back out there?" He nudged his friend's shoulder as they continued walking side by side down the sidewalk.
The bitter night breeze met the slight barrier of their leather jackets, that slightly reflected the street lights.
Bucky huffed, shaking his head slightly. "I don't know.."
Steve sighed. "She won't go out with me unless her best friend has someone to go out with too."
"Tragic story," Bucky spoke rolling his eyes. "But I don't see what that has to do with me."
"Well...." Steve's voice trailed off as he reached up scratching the back of his neck. Once they walked to the bar, both men came to a halt standing awkwardly before one another. Each man giving his tell of anxiety. Bucky, glanced down at his gloved covered hands, as he fidgeted with the seams. While Steve, reached for the back of his neck scratching it.
"Well... You.. You see.." Steve shifted from foot to foot as he attempted to piece together words that wouldn't bring Bucky to alert. "She's.." Letting out a huff, he furrowed his eyebrows together as his shoulders slumped forward in defeat. "She's not like a typical girl."
"I...I don't know how to explain her to you-" Steve gave up his attempt. "Come on, see for yourself." Opening the door, Steve led Bucky towards the stools you and Sharon were sitting.
"Here, let's sit here and you can form your own opinion of her." Steve spoke, flagging the bartender as they sat on the side of the bar with the ability to watch anything unfold.
--
"Come on, Y/N." Sharon groaned. "Give him a chance."
Scoffing, you rolled your eyes. Lifting your drink to your mouth, you attempted to ignore her pleads.
"I...I just want you to be happy." She frowned as her eyes filled with sorrow.
"What makes you think I'm not happy?" You questioned raising an eyebrow at her, as you felt your eyebrows furrow together.
"It's just-"
Cutting her off, one of the many sleazy men that had been ogling your best friend had decided now would be the time for him to make a move.
"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes." The man grinned giving Sharon a head-to-toe survey. Turning his attention to you, he was taken back by your rough around the edges exterior.
"Aw, it's okay princess." He cooed at you, reaching his hand up towards your face attempting to push a strand of hair behind your ear.
Swatting at his hand, you felt your blood beginning to boil. The music that had been streaming through the speakers seemed to quiet, as everyone's eyes were on you in anticipation for how you would react.
"Don't touch me." You hissed through clenched teeth, holding Sharon's gaze.
"Come on, babe." The man continued, his hand landing on the ledge of the bar attempting to cage you in. "With a body like that, you should be grateful, I haven't-"
Raising your eyebrows, you felt heat dance upon your cheeks while adrenaline coursed through your veins. Whirling your head in the direction of the man, you scoffed. "I should be grateful, is that right?"
"Y/N..." Sharon spoke attempting to calm your sudden rage.
"Well..." You stood, nearly knocking the man to the ground. Moving around him, you stood in the walking aisle. Placing your purse strap on your shoulder, you kept one hand closed around it. "I guess in this society, being male and an asshole...Makes you worthy of our time." You spat, as you felt your features harden.
Cheers erupted from all areas of the bar, as you carried a smile while walking to the entry of the bar receiving pats on the back and praise from strangers.
Once the door closed, Steve cleared his throat as he brought Bucky's attention back to the previous topic. "So-"
"You need someone who doesn't scare easy." He spoke, nodding his head in understanding. Raising the bottle to his lips, he gulped a sip before letting out a sigh. "When's the date?"
Catching him by surprise, Steve gazed at Bucky in confusion, before a smirk made its way upon his lips.
--
"What if he doesn't like me?" Sharon questioned her face filled with concern.
Rolling your eyes, you crossed your arms along your chest. "He would be stupid not to." You sighed. "Besides, there's plenty of other guys that are dying to take you out."
"Y/N!" She groaned, stomping her foot in the process. "You're not helping!"
"Well, do you want the truth or do you want me to lie?" You questioned raising your eyebrows.
Before either of your could finish your conversation, the sound of rapid knocks on your front door bounced off the walls.
Silently, you thanked whoever was at the door, for interrupting your argument. Walking towards the door, Sharon was hot on your heels.
Opening the door, you frowned as your gaze fell upon the two men standing before you.
"Uh, can I help you?" You questioned crossing your arms along your chest.
Clearing his throat, the blonde shifted his weight from foot to foot. "I'm here to pick up, Sharon."
Turning to face your friend, her face was illuminated with something you hadn't seen cross her face in a long time.
Bringing your attention back to the men before you, the blonde had his eyes locked on Sharon. Stepping out of your apartment, they linked their arms together before the hallway was filled with giggles and chuckles.
Momentarily, you had forgotten he had come with his friend. Clearing his throat, your attention was brought back to the man before you with a baseball cap upon his head.
"So-"
"No, thanks." You spat, taking a step back readying to shut your door in his face. "Not interested."
Slamming the door shut, you leaned against it as you closed your eyes attempting to regain your breath, that the icy-eyed man seemed to have stolen.
Sighing, he screwed his eyes shut.
--
Minutes before reaching your door.
"Come on, Buck." Steve pleaded. "You promised!"
Bucky groaned. "You saw how she ate that man from the bar and spit him out."
Steve sighed, defeat quickly setting in. "But, you're Bucky Barnes. A super-soldier, former hydra assassin, former Winter Soldier..." He spoke clasping his hand onto Bucky's shoulder. "You can do this."
"Fifty dollars." He negotiated. Crossing his arms along his chest sending a glare in Steve's direction.
"I'm not paying you to go out with a girl!" Steve exclaimed mirroring Bucky's stance.
"Then I'm not-"
"Fine."
"Fine?" Bucky questioned surprise etching along his features.
"Fine." Steve shrugged, pulling out his wallet and handing him a fifty-dollar bill. "Now, let's go."
--
Pinching the bridge of his nose, he made a mental note to tell Steve he would be upping his price if this were to continue.
Forming a fist, he lifted his hand, rapidly knocking on your door.
"Go away!" You yelled from the other side of the door. "I'm not buying what, you're selling!"
"I can do this all day, doll." He chuckled.
Yanking open the door, you sent him a deadly glare. "Leave before I call the cops for solicitation."
Pushing past you, he made his way into your apartment as he ignored your protests. Shrugging off his jacket, he placed it on your coat stand, before putting his hands in his front pockets.
Groaning, you shut your door, before turning to face him.
"Not too shabby." He spoke aloud.
"Gee, thanks." You spat. "I always hoped to gain the approval of someone who trespassed into my apartment."
Rolling your eyes, you plopped down on your couch before resuming your show. Letting out a content sigh, you had almost forgotten about tall dark-haired man.
Sitting beside you, he made himself comfortable, placing his arm along the backside of your couch.
As some time passed, there was a comfortable silence between you.
"I'm Bucky." His husky voice causing your stomach to flutter.
Nodding your head, you attempted to ignore him. "I didn't ask."
Silence fell between you. Frowning, you let out a defeated sigh.
"Y/N."
Much to Bucky's surprise, he hadn't expected you to respond much less give him some sort of acknowledgment of his presence.
"I sure hope you're not going soft on me, Y/N," Bucky spoke in a playful tone. You could hear the smile in his voice.
"Wouldn't dream of it."
As time passed, you couldn't concentrate on the show, but more so on the built man beside you. Your mind had convinced you that he was slowly but surely moving closer towards you.
Deciding you wanted to check, you turned to face him only to notice his thigh was millimeters from coming in contact with yours.
With widened eyes, you lifted Y/E/C eyes only to lock eyes with his ocean-colored ones.
"What?" He questioned attempting to be nonchalant about it. Bucky was well aware of what had gotten to you.
For once, you were at a loss for words. Opening and closing your mouth a few times you felt your mouth going dry. The smell of his cologne filled your senses, as you were overwhelmed by Bucky.
Your front door flew open, revealing a very inebriated Sharon and Steve. Both you and Bucky jumped away from one another as if you had been caught in the act of something intimate.
Jumping to his feet, Bucky turned to face you offering you his hand. Gazing at his covered hand then his features, you felt betrayed by yourself as you accepted his gesture allowing him to tug you to your feet.
Clearing your throat, you moved around the coffee table and assisted Sharon to the couch.
"I...I should get him home." Bucky spoke as he maneuvered Steve's arm across his shoulders allowing him to hold most of his friend's weight.
Humming in response, you crossed your arms along your chest nodding your head. As Bucky crossed the threshold into the hallway, he halted his movements.
"I had fun, not doing anything with you." He spoke grinning at you when he saw a pink dance along your cheeks.
Rolling your eyes you shook your head. "Goodnight, Bucky."
Shutting your door, you leaned against it as you let your head fall onto it with a soft thud. Butterflies had begun erupting in your stomach as heat rose along your features.
"Did someone thaw that ice-cold heart of yours?" Sharon questioned suggestively wiggling her eyebrows at you.
Groaning, you ignored her comment turning your attention back towards the show you were watching. Your mind clouded with thoughts of Bucky.
"Just so you know, Steve and I made plans for our next date," Sharon muttered as she closed her eyes, allowing slumber to overwhelm her.
Her confession did nothing to halt the butterflies in your stomach. Grinning to yourself, you couldn't stop yourself from the thought of seeing Bucky again.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x OFC (Tori)
Notes: This is a follow on of sorts to Lone Wolf but can be read as a stand-alone fic.

Dividers: @firefly-graphics
Master Lists: Marvel // Bucky Barnes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The apartment Bucky shared with Tori wasn’t big but it was enough for the two of them, and he loved every square inch of it because it was theirs. They’d been living together - just the two of them - for three months. It had taken some getting used to, learning each other’s habits and quirks, but they set some ground rules early on and it had been smooth sailing from there on in.
But today, he paced the length of the hallway nervously. He had technically broken one of the rules. He’d made a decision that affected them both, without first discussing it with her. She had warned him that his soft gooey center would get the better of him but he’d brushed off the comment without further thought. 
Today proved she’d been right. His soft gooey center had, in fact, taken the reins and now he was nervously pacing his apartment waiting for Tori to get home. He planned to intercept her arrival and butter her up as best he could before she discovered his rule-breaking on her own.
He heard her keys jingle outside the door and he rushed to open it before she could insert it into the lock.
“Wooooo,” Tori said, smirking at his abrupt appearance, “where’s the fire?”
“No fire,” he confirmed, ushering her inside.
She eyed him suspiciously but crossed the threshold and placed a kiss on his lips. “You look nervous.” 
He shrugged but didn’t comment further as he closed the door. He rushed to pass her as she removed her jacket and toed off her shoes. “How was your day?” he asked when he heard her follow him toward the kitchen.
“Busy and frustrating,” she sighed, taking a seat on a high stool at the breakfast bar.
“The GRC still making life difficult?” he asked, pouring a glass of her favorite wine (that he’d purposely picked up on the way home.)
She took the glass from him and took a small sip while she nodded. “Enough about my day, yours was way more important,” Tori said, perking up. “Did it all go through?” 
“Without a hitch,” Bucky smiled broadly, taking a seat beside her.
After his official pardon, Bucky hadn’t been ready to jump back into avenging or being a soldier or whatever he was. He needed to figure out who he was when there was no fight that needed to be fought. He was putting in the work with Doctor Raynor and she’d suggested he do some volunteer work. 
Tori had the idea that he could help out at the local animal shelter. He’d been amazing at helping Socks, the injured wolf, and Bucky was strong enough to literally do any heavy lifting and help subdue larger dogs if required. He’d been volunteering three days a week for a month and a half and he loved it. He found it to be fulfilling and for every case of neglect there was always a case of hope to counteract it. And today he’d played a role in getting a senior dog adopted. 
“Congratulations. I’m so proud of you, your first official adoption.” She beamed just as brightly as him, clinking her glass to his.
While they drank, he opened his legs wide and dragged her stool closer to him to better lean in for a kiss.
He let the kiss escalate. Perhaps she’d be more receptive if she were in a post-orgasmic haze. Once she’d clumsily set her glass on the countertop her hands roamed his torso. He gripped her thighs and she slipped off her stool to stand between his legs.
Every time he kissed her, his stomach fluttered, like a giddy teenager, falling in love for the first time. He felt ridiculous but adored every second of it too. He was in love with her, had known for a while, but he hadn’t been brave enough to say it aloud. Their relationship was still relatively new, he worried telling her how deeply she affected him may scare her off.
He pondered for a moment that telling her how he felt could help his current situation. Or would that be manipulative? Perhaps making his feelings known would make her see that he hadn’t made the decision on a whim. Though to anyone on the outside looking in it would probably seem that way. 
He understood the responsibility he was taking on, knew that what he was asking of Tori was not a small matter. However, after helping him with Socks, the injured wolf, she had made a point of showing him she meant every word she’d said. She didn’t care how deep his wounds were, or how long it would take him to open up about his past and his trepidation for the future, she had been by his side. Maybe his fears were unwarranted after all. Even if she hadn’t said she loved him either, she had shown him in a million different ways.
Distracted from his thoughts, he moaned as Tori raked her nails down his abs. As if on cue a pitiful cry emitted from the bedroom and he only hoped he had been loud enough to drown it out.
She pulled back and eyed him suspiciously, “did you hear that?”
“Hear what?” he feigned innocence and buried his head in her neck, placing gentle kisses on her throat. 
“Bucky.” 
“Uh-huh.”
“How many dogs are in the bedroom?” 
Bucky admitted defeat and straightened up to look her in the eye. “One.”
“Didn’t we agree that you wouldn’t bring any of them home?” she asked, stepping away from him to make her way to the bedroom.
“Wait,” Bucky said, quickly grabbing her wrist before she could get too far. “Let me go first.”
She nodded and allowed him to lead her down the short corridor. He stopped outside their bedroom and turned to face her. “Don’t go falling in love with him,” he smirked, “we’re just fostering him.”
She rolled her eyes. “Okay, Mr Soft Gooey Center, just open the door.” 
He opened the door slowly and Tori followed him inside. A fluffy, brown and white ball of fur, with a red collar, was pressed tightly between the nightstand and the wall. Bucky gently lowered himself to the floor directly across from him and Tori followed his lead. 
The puppy whimpered and tried shrinking further back against the wall. “It’s okay buddy,” Bucky whispered, “you just take your time.”
“What’s his story?” Tori whispered just as Bucky had. 
“He’s only a pup, a husky mix of some kind, we think about nine months old,” Bucky explained, keeping his voice quiet. “He was found on the street. He was so scared in the shelter, T, worse than he is now, he just cowered in the corner, shaking so hard I thought he was going to have a heart attack.”
She exhaled sadly and Bucky knew she felt the same deep empathy for the animal that he did. Bucky rested his head on the wall behind him and watched the young dog but Tori turned only her head to look at him. “Should we leave him alone?” she asked and he heard the control it took to keep her voice from breaking. 
He softly shook his head. “I’d made some progress before you came home, he’d come over to sniff my boots and he walked around the room, checking some stuff out. But now he doesn’t exist in this room again, he’s lost someplace else, in a void of fear. He needs to know we’re here, that we’re nothing to fear. I know he needs to hear our voices to talk him back into existence.” 
“How?” she questioned, slipping her hand into his. “How do you know that’s what he needs?”
“Cause that’s what I needed,” he said, turning the upper half of his body to better look in her eyes. “After everybody came back, I was lost in that same void. Fear of who I was, the things I’d done, who I was supposed to become, scared of what would happen to me now. I didn’t exist, I was just existing. Then you followed me that morning to help Socks. Everything you said...everything you’ve done since then,” he paused to find the right words. “I didn’t know it at the time, but I needed to hear that... to hear you talk me back in existence.” He caressed her cheek and drew her mouth to his to kiss her softly. Resting his forehead against hers he confirmed, “That’s how I know.” 
There was a heartbeat of silence before her whispered confession danced over his lips, “I love you.”
As soon as the last syllable left her mouth he felt her tense under his hand that still rested on her cheek. He pulled back slightly to see her eyes squeezed shut and her biting her bottom lip. A jolt of panic shot through him and his heart clenched that perhaps the expression she wore was one of regret, that she hadn’t meant it, that it had been a slip of the tongue.
She kept her eyes practically glued shut. “You don’t have to say it back and I don’t want you to feel like you have to. I’m sorry, this wasn’t…”
He kissed her, firmly, and it succeeded in shutting her up. “Tori, look at me,” he coaxed and waited until she granted his wish. “I love you too.” 
Before he could kiss her again movement caught his eyes and he cautiously turned his head to see the puppy sniffing his outstretched leg. Tori gasped and then quickly held her breath to not scare him away again.
“So what do you say?” Bucky asked, watching the dog gradually move to sniff Tori’s leg. “Can we foster him?” 
She let a small laugh out, “I think it might be time to look for a bigger place for the three of us and whoever else your soft gooey center can’t resist.” 
The smile that spread across his face actually hurt his cheeks but he shrugged nonchalantly. “Hey, at least you won your bet with Sam.” 
Sam had bet Tori fifty bucks that Bucky would take home a dog he felt sorry for in his first month of volunteering. As part of his master plan to win, Sam hadn’t been very subtle in encouraging Bucky to adopt one. It took Bucky all of five seconds of listening to Sam’s ‘reasoning’ to figure it out.
“What? You knew about that?”
Bucky’s forehead crinkled as if it were obvious. “Why do you think I waited an extra two weeks?”
