Kiss Me {Bucky Barnes Fanfic}

PART 2

Bucky' POV:

My eyes locked onto to a certain someone's back when I scanned the room. Y/N was sitting there, on one of the many creaky bar stools, talking to Natasha. It seemed their conversation was not very important as Natasha was laughing and slapping Y/N playfully on the arm.

I sauntered over to the stool right beside Y/N and received a look from Natasha.

"Barnes, tell Y/N she has had enough to drink" Natasha asked in favour.

Y/N finally perked up realising my metal-armed placed on the bar next to them.

"Buckyyyyy!" She slurred.

"Y/N how much have you had to drink?"  I laughed.

"I am not drunk! I have barely had anything and Nat won't serve me" Y/N mumbled.

I stifled a laugh "Maybe you should go home and rest now. You have a busy morning of packing to do alongside the hangover you're gonna have."

Natasha nods in agreement.

Y/N sways keeping their eyes squeezed shut for a moment before locking eyes with mine.
"Okay, will you at least help me home?".

Natasha shared a glance between the two.

"Yeah okay, come on" i nodded.

She stood up quickly, falling into me placing her small hands on my built chest. My hands flew to her hips in instinct to catch the drunken one. Our faces were now inches apart, eyes locked. She kept staring down at my lips and before I can act on my decision..

Natasha speaks up "Bucky, don't."

Y/N turns swiftly despite their drunken state "Natasha what?".

"You're drunk, you are not thinking straight, I'll call you a cab to get you home."

I stood tall, slowly removing my hands away from her hips. Natasha is right. I can't just take advantage of someone who is drunk.

"No I'm fed up of being babysat by everyone- I'm old enough to make my own decisions!" Y/N raised her voice before walking away.

I lowered my gaze to the floor. I understand how she feels. I really do. When Steve rescued me from Hydra I was treated like a child by the Avengers also. Y/N is one of the younger Avengers alongside Peter Parker, who couldn't make it here tonight because of something to do with homework. I don't know. But everyone felt a sense of responsibility and care over the younger ones.

"I'm sorry Bucky.. Y/N is like a younger sibling to me." Natasha spoke up, taking me out of my daze.

"It's okay, I understand." I nodded

She looked at me with a sincere smile before walking off to find
Y/N and get her in a cab.

NO POV

Everyone was beginning to head home now as the buzz of alcohol had long gone and now was just pure exhaustion.

Tony, Sam, Thor and Rhodey were carefully directed into a cab by Steve with many protests.
They were all just going to head back to Tony's place and recover from their hangovers. Tomorrow should be interesting.

Natasha and Clint both claimed they were sober enough to walk home as they could 'handle their alcohol better or something like that'.

Which leaves Bucky and Steve to get a cab back to their shared apartment. They have lived together since Bucky was rescued from Hydra. Bucky did try move out but that lasted about 2 weeks as Steve couldn't sleep knowing his best friend could be in fear or danger. Which he wasn't - he was free.

So with their equally split apartment, they had a bedroom and bathroom each. They just had to share the kitchen and living space.

Steve and Bucky arrived home then departed with a brief goodbye before heading to their separate rooms. Bucky hefted his suitcase off his bed to the floor then removed his jeans and jacket before falling face first into the soft fabric. He was tired.
