I Love You - Bucky Barnes x Reader AU

Chapter 7: Reunited

It's been a month since the engagement. Once the interview had finished, John drove you back home and asked to stay the night. Of course, you obliged, you just got engaged to the man. But something about the ring on your finger didn't sit right with you. The same question kept lingering around in your mind for the past week. "Do you love him?"

You've never said those two words to anyone before... well... not in a long time at least. 

You wake up in a pool of sweat, you were sweating like crazy, your jumper had sweat patches on the pits. Last night it was freezing and now it was boiling. You get up and go over to your small bathroom and take a shower, rinsing out all the dirt from your Y/H/C hair that had found its way in it. You hop out of the shower, wrap a towel around you and make your way back into your bedroom and turn on the TV. All that's been on the news is the engagement and how there's a new Captain America in town. 

While the same old news was playing in the background, you pull out some clothes to wear for the day, you were planning on going shopping with a few girls you met while working at the Avengers tower before the blip. You hadn't caught up in a long time, so it would be nice to hang out with them for a day. You pull out a red dress with smaller flowers on it, it was tight around your breasts and then fell off from the hips down below your knees. 

*Ring Ring*

You look at your phone which read "Unknown Caller"

You ignore the phone call and go back to your outfit decisions.

*Ring Ring*

It was the same person trying to call. 

"Hello?" You say in a strong tone, annoyed at the fact they called you twice.

"Y/N?" A familiar voice came through the other end of the line. It was strong and calming. You were shocked at who had called you, someone you wouldn't expect to have heard from.

"Sam?" You reply your voice now in a higher pitch.

"Yeah, I've been wanting to ask you something for a while so I asked around for your number" You were taken aback, you knew what it was about, Steve.

"Y/N, let me ask you something, did you know your little model boy was going to "take over" Steve's legacy?" He became sterner with his words, you could tell he was hurt by the actions the government had taken.

"Let me ask you something Sam, why the hell did you hand over that shield?" You started to choke on your words, the thought of Steve not being here anymore always made you cry every time you thought about it.

There was silence, you could hear Sam's thoughts through the phone.

"It's what he would have wanted Y/N"

"Bullshit! Sam! that's just bullshit and you know it, Steve would have wanted you to have kept that shield" You say, you're now screaming over the phone in pure rage. You were so pissed at Sam's response to the question you had been asking for so long now.

Another long pause, until the Falcon responded.

"I'm sorry, it was my decision in the end"

"Yeah?! Well, it wasn't a good one" You respond before he would even finish, you were fuming at this point.

"Y/N, listen"

"No, Sam. I'm done listening" You say, you were ready to hang up but he cuts you off before you could finish the call.

"I need your help!" He sounded desperate, sincere to his words. You were intrigued at what he needed help with, especially with you. The last time you helped him was back at the Avengers tower and trying to help him fix his smoothie blender. It didn't work out well. Let's just say, Christmas that year he got a new one.

"There's a group who have super serum, they were spotted in ... 2 days ago by an agent. What I'm trying to say is... I could really use your help"

"Why me?" You say. It's been so long since you've been on a mission with the Falcon.

"Because I know you can get the job done," He says, his voice turned back into its monotone sound.

You sigh, he was right, you were always dedicated to your work. And plus, it would be nice to get to see Sam, you were great friends before everything happened.

"Alright, when and where do I meet you?"

"Dicken's Airport, 10 am" You grab a notebook and pen that had been lying next to you on your coffee table and write down the information which was just given to you. Guess you gotta cancel your plans with the girls.

"Oh and Y/N, do you still have your suit?" He was referring to the suit that was made for you when you were with the Avengers. It was black with white aspects, leather, and a one-piece, it fitted you really well and showed off all your proportions.

"If so I'd recommend you'd bring it, gonna have to do a lot of ass-whooping" You chuckle at his statement and a smile grows on his face, you've missed this, you missed all of them, Steve, Sam, Wanda, Nat... Bu-- 

"You got it, I'll be there at 10" 

"Thanks, Y/N, see you"
