Burn B•Barnes

Part 8

Lyra woke up the next morning and had never felt more sick in her life, the light burning her eyes, the sweat dripping from her forehead, she felt. . . almost hungover.

She moved down a bit on the bed before noticing she couldn't, there was an arm around her. Her eyes widened and she slowly turned her head around to see who was next to her in the bed. . . Sargent Bucky Barnes. She quickly placed her hand over her mouth to stop herself from screaming.

She took a breath before looking down and seeing both clothed, and instantly felt relieved.

"Morning" His muffled, groggy voice speaking almost made Lyra swoon.

"Uh hi" she awkwardly turned around to face him and he opened his eyes and smiled.

"Do you feel better?" He asked.

"I uh.. can't remember what was wrong with me" she admitted, her face flushed with embarrassment and he laughed.

"Well let me tell you the greatest story in the history of Wakanda" he laughed.

***FLASHBACK***

After Bucky had been introduced by T'Challa and he had thanked everyone for his help, he noticed Lyra was missing, he was slightly worried and immediately found Shuri to ask if she had seen her.

"I think she went home" Shuri shrugged before turning around and talking to someone else.

Bucky set off towards the room Lyra was staying in, he lightly knocked the door before letting himself in and seeing Lyra crying over some sort of book.

She quickly wiped her tears away and closed her book. "You should be at the party" she almost whispered.

"So should you" he walked over taking a seat on her bed and she handed him the book. "It's a scrap book, me and my mom made a list off all the places we wanted to visit and we'd record all of them here" He smiled looking through them, and seeing how happy and full of life Lyra was.

"You're Mom was beautiful"

"Her name was Sarah, she was the best" she smiled looking down at the photo, tears filling her eyes.

"Steve's mom was called Sarah" he told her.

She smiled at him and looked back down at the scrap book, Bucky was on the last page labeled "New York" there was nothing there, he frowned and looked up at her. "Did you not get any pictures?"

She nodded and pulled them out from the back of the book. "I didn't have the heart to put them in" she admitted.

Bucky stood up pulling two of the champagne glasses from earlier, handing one off them to Lyra.

"To Sarah Brown" he held his glass and she smiled jumping up from the bed. "This is for you mom" they both clinked their drinks together before downing them. 

"Come on Doll we have a party to ruin" he held his arm out and she happily took it and they headed back to the party.

Many drinks later, Lyra and Bucky where on the dance floor with Shuri dancing. "You have some moves!" Shuri shouted to the both of them, they both laughed and turned back to eachother and smiled.

The night went on like most parties do, and it finally came to an end. "Hey come on after party!" Shuri shouted.

They ended the night sitting around a fire and chatted away. "I think I'm going to be sick" Lyra held her stomach and walked away from everyone behind a tree.

"Can't handle you're drink?" Bucky walked towards Lyra and held her hair back as she started puking.

"This is embarrassing" she groaned.
