Helping one another

Party-BuckyxReader

"Pleaaaasseeee?" Nat asked. You and Nat were discussing the idea that you take her place at Tony's party because she said she wasn't feeling well. Lady cramps. Nat and you have known each other for years. You were both experimented on in the Red Room. She and you ended up escaping together, well you were escaping first because you were able to shape-shift into one of the guards. As you were walking out of the door you had thought finally freedom, but ended up going back to free the others in the cells, and out came Nat. After that you both clicked. Best of friends. You both got to know each other over the years. Then after Ultron happened, you and Nat teamed up with the Avengers, and you got along with everyone perfectly, and had gone to many of Tony's parties to gain favor of sponsors for his companies and for help on clearing the Avengers names. During the times between the parties though you would have to lie low and act normal according to society, with Fury's help and all of S.H.E.I.L.D.
"Uggghhhhh fine Tasha, but you owe me big time, I was already planning on going but now I have to fill in as you too?" Nat gave you big puppy eyes, and you shook your head laughing. "What were you planning on wearing tonight?" She paused a moment thinking then tilted her head to the side, "That off the shoulder green dress." "For Bruce?" You winked at her. She nodded. "Wait what if he thinks I'm you and tries hitting on me?" She shook her head. "Don't worry he will know, I already sent him a message." You nodded slowly thinking of what you were going to wear when you yourself made an appearance. "You know," she said looking up at you, "Barnes is going to be there and remember he complimented you on that blue dress you wore to my birthday party a while back." You bit your lip contemplating whether or not to wear it with small black heels. Fuck it. You thought. You then both got up and decided to go to the bathroom so she can help with your hair, you changed into her figure, you thought might as well play as her for a couple hours then sneak off to a corner and change into yourself and enjoy the rest of the party. You got nervous thinking about Bucky. You always thought of him as a friend but you recently developed feelings for him as well. Would he ever think of me in that way? No, he's got better things to think of; you fiddled with your locket that you got for your birthday from Bucky. He and you were always super close and a lot of times when you would have nightmares he would come in and help you calm down by hugging you, making some tea and talking you through it. You would do the same for him whenever he needed it. This went on for the last year or so, and whenever you would go on missions together, you would always ask for each other. Steve didn't mind, he was happy that his friend had someone else he could be close to. He thought you guys were good together too. Steve knew how Buck felt about you, he confessed his feelings for y/n at one of the many parties Tony have.
You took another look in the mirror to make sure you don't have anything of yours that would give away your cover. When you were done, you hugged Nat and headed down to the party.

-Time skip to party-

The elevator dinged and you stepped out in the dark green dress as Nat, so far so good you thought. "Hey Nat!" Steve and Sam called to you. You headed through the crowd of people and got to the bar where Sam and Steve were sitting around talking and having a drink. "Hey good lookin," Sam winked at you. You smiled back and looked around at everything and everyone. Tony ended coming up to you guys and started to say hi and talking about other things while you scanned your eyes around the room and spotted Bruce and Bucky talking together, when you felt a hand on your shoulder snapping you out of the thoughts. "Hmm?" You looked at Tony. "I asked how are you?" You smiled and said you were good just feeling tired. He looked around and said, "Where's y/n?" The other two men looked around, seeing if you came in late or if you had completely skipped the party altogether. You laughed, "Don't worry about her, I'm sure she's almost here. She's probably fumbling around for her other shoe or something about her hair. You know how slow and ridiculous she can be sometimes." The men chuckled. "Yea that's true... I remember when..." Tony continuing an embarrassing story that happened to you. They started making more jokes about you but you didn't notice until Steve had said, "I wonder why she even wanted to come up here, her powers are freaky, if I were her, I would just stay inside my room. I would be really embarrassed not knowing who I really was and where I came from." The men all laughed, as you lightly chuckled to blend in. That felt like a stab in the back. Not who I am? The one you mentioned before was mainly to get them off your case. He's right I am embarrassed. I'm a freak. I don't belong here. They kept going saying comments along that line about you and your powers thinking they were just having all having fun. Little did they know you were right there the whole time while they kept going at it. You finally excused yourself to leave them and headed into the bathroom. You started to cry in the stall softly letting out the tears. You knew they were always nice to you and thought of you as family but what Steve had just said made you realize they were telling the truth on how they felt about you. You wiped your eyes and left the stall grabbing a towel and heading out of the bathroom, as Nat still, so you went out onto the balcony and made sure no one was around, an you changed back into yourself. You exhaled a long breath trying to hold it together, but the tears still threatened to spill. As you wiped your tears, you headed back inside and went straight to the elevator trying as little as possible to make any contact with anyone. All you wanted to do was get out of here and forget tonight. As you were about to press the up button, a hand rested on your arm and you turned around to see Wanda and Bucky coming up behind her. She looked you over and gave you a confused look, but then suddenly it hit her what happened, as she read your mind, "I'll kill them." She said starting to shake with anger. You shook it off and gave her a big hug holding onto her. "It's okay, really thanks Wanda. It's not a big deal. Just please don't say anything." She nodded slowly and apologized for their actions. You shrugged it off, and gave her a hug, trying to pull yourself together. The elevator door opened and you stepped inside. Wanda turned around and stopped Bucky to tell him you just needed some alone time. He looked at you disappointed and sad, but he nodded. You and Bucky were close friends, and respected each other's boundaries and helped each other out whenever you could. So this broke your heart even more when you knew that he could never find out how you truly felt about him and that, tonight had to be the last time you saw him.

I gotta get outta here. Steve was right, I am a freak. You got up to your room and started packing a bag. As you got your toothbrush, face wash and everything that was yours from the drawers, only to see a made bed and empty room before you left, you got a text from Nat;

Nat: Hey, how'd it go? I tots owe ya babes!

Y/n: Hey! All went fine, just exhausted gonna go to bed. Don't worry about it Nat! Always happy to help. G'night!

You looked around making sure you didn't forget anything in your room. You headed to the kitchen to get an apple from the kitchen as a snack. You took one last took around the compound and headed to the elevator. But before you could get in, you heard the ding, and a voice. You recognized it immediately as Bucky's. You quickly threw your bags to the side hidden behind the couch so he wouldn't be able to see it.
Bucky's POV
I can't get y/n out of my head. Her (y/c/e), her sleepy voice when she talks in the middle of the night when she helps with the nightmares. Her smile and laugh just makes me melt into a million pieces. I love her. So much. I want to tell her, thankfully I have had a few drinks to give me the courage I need.

The elevator dinged and there she was, gorgeous as always. Sitting on the couch eating an apple. God even when she's eating something so simple she can be beautiful. "Y/n!" I kinda slurred her name as I wobbled to her. "Hey Buck, you good?" she asked as she looked you up and down. "Yep! Just great! Had a few drinks." I chuckled, "I can see that. How much did you have? I thought super soldiers weren't able to get drunk easily," I stumbled to the couch and she caught me, "Yea it's harder for us to get drunk but for me it takes a lot, you should see Steve when he drinks just one or two and he's silly drunk." She shot her eyes to look outside as soon as I mentioned him, "You gonna go to bed soon?" She shook her head, "not tired. Anyways I don't really care to talk about or see Steve Sam or Tony for a while; not anytime soon anyways . " She said annoyance in her voice. You got closer to her and said, "fine I'm sorry for trying to make simple conversation with you. I'll leave you alone then. It's not like you need me anymore. You can just shut me out and ignore me for all I care. I don't need you anymore. Just leave and don't bother coming back to find me, freak." She pushed me backwards and grabbed her bags that she had behind the couch and headed to the elevator. She was already planning on leaving? Good.
The elevator dinged and the doors opened and out came Sam and Steve a drunken stumbling mess. "Oh look who it is y/n?!"  "Buckyyy!"  Steve said slurring my name out as he was coming closer to me and ended tripping over his own feet, crazy kid as always. Sam came up behind me and put Steve's other arm around his shoulder and we were talking and dragged Steve to bed. I made sure he was comfortable, got him some water and pain killers for the headache to come. I left his room and made sure that Sam was fine too, and ended up knocking out on Sam's floor.
That's the first chapter! I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know please! Thank you!
