Bucky Barnes Imagines

Chapter 9: Beach Trip

*One week after Starks Party*

It was a super-hot day, the sun spilled through my white curtains, dancing over my face. I stirred in my bed as the sun shone over my eye lids. I crawled out of my bed and checked the time. 5:00am. I got changed into my training clothes and walked outside and began my run. As I was on my last lap, I saw Bucky leave the living quarters and begin to run. As I was about to finish, he crossed me and I saw a small smile cross his face as he ran past me.

About an hour later, after I had a shower and was about to get changed, FRIDAY notified me "Miss Y/L/N, Stark has asked me to inform you that everyone is heading to the beach today, and that you are requested to be there".

I got changed into my yellow bikini, dark blue loose shirt and denim shorts. I tied the blue shirt at the front and grabbed my old blue converse. As I tied my laces, I heard some movement behind me. (Outfit above) I reached underneath my bed for my gun and swung around and held my gun at the area of movement. Bucky stood there; his hands raised slowly in surrender. I rolled my eyes and put my gun back into the holster under my bed, "Don't do that." I ordered at him. He walked over to me and sat down on the bed as I grabbed my beach bag and my blue cap. "So you don't look dressed for the beach?" I inquired. Bucky looked at me slowly and then spoke, "Yeah I wasn't going to go" I furrowed my brow out of confusion and then replied, "But Stark instructed us to go, and despite him thinking that he has the power to instruct us, it will be fun". Bucky looked at me as I began to grab my sunglasses and beach towel, moving around my room hastily. He made a small "hm" noise and then I turned back to look at him, "Go get changed into something beach appropriate, it will be fun. I promise. And if it's not, I won't make you try anything you don't want to ever again". Bucky contemplated my bargain for a bit and then said, "Okay" and wandered out of my room.

I walked out of the avengers facility and saw Tony stood at the door. "Where is your luggage?" He asked me with confusion. "What do you mean I thought we were just going to long beach?" I replied, just as confused. "We are going to the Bahamas" Tony replied bluntly. "WHAT?! Oh my God!" I replied, running into my room to pack more.

*Time skip an hour*

I pulled my suitcase behind me, still in my beach clothes, and I knocked on Bucky's door. I heard him shout come in and I opened the door. He stood there with his suitcase, his face was hard to read. He smiled when he saw me, I held out my hand and said, "Are you coming?". He nodded and took my hand. I gave it a light squeeze and we walked out his room. As we got to the door where the rest of the avengers were, we let go of each other's hand. Didn't need anyone thinking we were together. We all made our way into the Quinjet and off we went. I sat shoulder to shoulder next to Bucky on my right and Nat on my left.

*Time skip to the Bahamas*

Once we arrived at the villa that Stark booked we were all assigned rooms: Vision and Wanda, Nat and Bruce, Tony and Pepper, Sam and Steve, Loki and Peter, Thor and Valkyrie, and me and Bucky. We walked to our rooms and started to unpack. After we had unpacked out bags we made our way to the beach. I turned to Bucky and he said he would be down in a bit; he just had a bit more to unpack. I left the room and found a spot on our private beach. Tony going above and beyond again. Nat and Wanda came over to sit with me and then moments later, Valkyrie and Pepper joined us. We sunbathed for a bit until I noticed Bucky still hadn't arrived. I turned to Nat and whispered, "Have you seen Bucky?" she shook her head in response and closed her eyes and went back to sunbathing. I got up and walked over to the outdoor bar where Steve and Sam were sat. "Have either of you seen Bucky? He said he'd be out soon. I don't want him to miss out on the fun" I asked them. Sam shook his head and walked over to the pool, and I sat down where he was previously. After a moment of silence Steve spoke, "I think he's still in his room. I'll tell you this if you promise not to tell anyone else" I looked at him confused and nodded, "Of course not". Steve looked around then leaned closer. "I think Bucky hates his arm. He always covers the scar of where it was attached. He has also never had a holiday so that can't help." I thought about what he just said for a moment then thanked him and walked inside.

I made my way to our shared room and knocked on the door. I waited for a response then walked in. I saw him sat on the bed and walked over to him, plopping down next to him. "Are you alright?" I said softly, looking at him with sad eyes. He pierced his lips and nodded. "Sure?" He contemplated it for a moment but stayed silent. That's when I reached across to hug him tightly. He instantly hugged me back just as tight and buried his head in the crook of my neck. We stayed like that for a while until I felt a warm tear fall on my shoulder. I moved my hand to stroke his hair. I felt him cry harder.

A few moments later, after he slowed his crying I pulled away and looked at him in his teary blue eyes. I lifted my hand to stroke away his tears under his eyes. I looked at me and began to stutter an explanation, "It's okay Buck, you don't have to explain." I said sympathetically. I reached for his metal hand and held it tightly in both hands. He looked at me and smiled. His eyes had dried and his face lifted. "Would you like to go outside with me?" he asked me happily. My eyes lit up and I nodded yes, he grabbed my hand and led me out of the room, running quickly outside.

Once we got outside, we sat down on the sun loungers by the pool for a few minutes. That was until Bucky got bored. He walked over to me and stood over me. I moved my sunglasses down my nose and gave him a "what do you want?" look. He smiled cunningly and offered me his hand. I naively took it and he pulled me up to my feet. Seconds later he picked me up and swung me over his shoulder, sprinting towards the ocean. I laughed loudly whilst telling him to put me down, playfully hitting his back. "You want me to put you down?" he asked me seriously. I nodded and loudly shouted "Yes!". Then, he threw me. I fell deeply into the water, swimming to the surface for air then letting out a huge laugh. I splashed about, throwing water at him as he laughed with me. He grabbed me around the waist, lifted me in the air, held me there for a moment then threw me high into the air, my limbs flaring about before hitting the water with a splash. I arose again and laughed even louder than before. I swam out deeper and Bucky followed. Once we got deeper, we stopped and I looked at him, both of us laughing. Then when we were looking at each other in the eyes, it became serious suddenly. Then, out of nowhere, he splashed me in the face. I squished my face up in shock, then I opened my eyes slowly, looked at him seriously. Then as a smile crawled across my lips, I threw a huge wave of water over him with my powers.

After a fit of giggles, I swam over to him and jumped out of the water, holding his chest and pushing him down in a playful attempt to shock him. Let's just say it didn't work. He looked at me with a huge smile and I moved closer; as both our faces softened, we were broken apart by Tony shouting for us to come and get ready for dinner.
