Summary: After a mission that had a bad outcome, y/n feels shes to blame even though there's nothing she could have done. Bucky comes to try and comfort her, and to get her to confront Steve on why she hid as soon as they got back to the tower.
Authors Note: Kinda sad how the reader blames herself, but this is my first Imagine that I would actually put angsty in the warnings.
I used either 1 or 2 prompts I honestly don't remember. I think it was 2 but I changed a couple of words in the second one. Here are the ones that I used and changed somewhat.
Prompt: "If you would have tried to save me then we wouldn't have the flash drive and you would've been shot to." & "Y/n, you could never hurt me, just remember that."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bucky sighed before knocking on the bedroom door, knowing Y/n would come to sulk and hide in the comfort of her own room after what happened on the mission. "Y/n, it's me. Bucky."
"Come in." Y/n called after a moment of silence. Bucky opened the door and stepped into her room closing it after he entered. "Hey, Buck." Y/n greeted but there was a slight strain in her voice. Which he detected immediately.
"Don't do that Y/n. Not with me. . .please." Bucky shook his head, he knows her better than she thinks. He's not gonna fall for her bullshit, its obvious she's not ok.
"Do what?" Y/n asked him, playing dumb. Bucky tilted his head to the side abd raised his eyebrows. His look screamed 'Really? You really think that'll work with me?'. Y/n dropped her gaze down. "Sorry."
"Can I sit?" Bucky asked walking over towards where she's seated on her bed.
Y/n nodded 'yes', moving to make some more room for the supersoldier. "Yeah, go ahead."
Bucky took a seat next to her. They just sat in silence for a while, neither starting the inevitable conversation. Y/n would be completely comfortable if she could change the subject she knows Buckys gonna bring up, but it does need to be done. She knows that. Bucky sighed before speaking "He doesn't blame you Y/n/n. No one does."
"Well, they should." Y/n grumbled softly.
Bucky shook his head reaching for her hand, turning his body to face her. "No, they shouldn't. . .Y/n you have got to know there wasn't another way. NOt without jeopardizing the mission."
Y/n shook her head not agreeing with him. "I should've done something Bucky! I shouldn't hav- I shouldn't have just let him get shot!" she snapped with her voice cracking.
"Y/n! You couldn't have done anything!" Bucky exclaimed loudly trying to get her to understand.
"He almost died, and it would have been my fault." Y/n let out a whimper at her thoughts being put into words. The realization of the fact what she just said was true. At least in her eyes. She couldn't hold in her tears anymore and let them fall.
"Y/n/n" Buck spoke softly it's hard for him to see her like this. It hurts. Bucky knows if something were to happen to anyone on the team and Y/n felt she could've stopped it she'd blame herself. "Doll, listen. Come here." he opened his arms for her. Y/n very quickly glanced at him knowing what he wants but she looked away again. Y/n doesn't feel like she deserves his comfort, even Bucky can tell that. Buck reached out to wipe her tears with his thumbs. Reluctantly Y/n let Bucky pull her into a tight hug. "There is absolutely nothing you could have done. Steve is fine. He'll heal. The serum will make it heal even faster. Steve is gonna be fine doll. Hell, he's already back in his room." Bucky stated rocking her gently to calm and comfort her.
She shook her head "He won't want to see me."
Bucky sighed "Doll, you, me, and Steve all have one quality that's exactly the same. An that's the fact anything we can take and carry the blame for anything and everything as if it is our own. Y/n, Steve loves you. He was asking for you last time I checked. No one knew where you went after the mission."
"You did" Y/n pointed out
Bucky gave a half-smile not that she could see since he's resting his chin on top of her head. "Well, besides Steve, you and I have grown close since I've been here. I figured you would be here putting all the blame on yourself."
"You were right." They both chuckled
They hugged for a little longer before Bucky unwrapped his arms from around her. He stood up from the bed looking down at her with a smile. "Come on"
"Where are you taking me?" Y/n asked confused as Bucky pulled her to stand up.
"To your bathroom to clean you up, then I'm taking you to see Steve." he spoke dragging her towards her bathroom.
"Ok" she sighed following him now willingly to clean herself up, having not done that right after the mission and since she has been crying also.
