Bucky Barnes Imagines

City of Love

 Flying was one of your biggest anxiety triggers. Bucky knew but unfortunately it was part of the job to fly to different and new places. He knew how much it did trigger your anxiety and he was there by your side every time you needed him to be. Today was a travel day and you were very fortunate to have Bucky as your travel buddy and partner on this mission trip. You were putting the last couple of things in your suitcase when Bucky showed up at your bedroom door.

He leaned against the door frame, arms crossed as he looked at you with worry in his eyes. Bucky was always the sweetest and whenever you told him to not worry you knew he would always do the exact opposite and worry.

"Hey, doll." He says walking into your room as you sit on your bed fiddling with your fingers. He sat next to you and grabbed one of your hands and held it in his own trying to calm your nerves.

"I know you're scared, and I know I'm not in your shoes right now. But, I want you to know that I'm right here beside you." He says, giving you a small smile. Leaning your head on his shoulder taking a shaky breath.

"Thank you Buck, I try so hard to not let it get me so anxious but it just over powers. I don't know why. How many times have I done this?" You say letting out a chuckle. He gave you a comforting smile while running his thumb along your knuckles. Your heart beats for Bucky Barnes and yet he didn't know.

"I know, but you're tough. You can beat terrorists for crying out loud. You can do anything (Y/N)." He says, meaning every single word.

"Thank you Bucky. I appreciate it." You say sending him a smile "Well, we better get going, as much as I want to, we probably shouldn't miss our flight." You say laughing as he nodded agreeing. You went to grab your suitcase to take it downstairs when Bucky beat you to it.

You shook your head smiling as you followed him out of the building and to your awaited car. Opening the door for you like the gentleman he was before going around the car to his seat. The two of you rode in a comfortable silence to the airport. You got through security with no problem. Bucky on the other hand had to have a special pat down which made you laugh. After his pat down the two of you walked around the airport until you found your gate.

You were doing fine until it came to boarding the plane. Bucky gave you a small pep talk and you were able to get out of your seat and walk into the plane. Thankfully your seats were right next to each other which made the anxiety a little less. You quickly put away your carry on and buckled your seat belt. You saw Bucky do the same.

Soon the plane started to take off and all the worries and anxiety you had came rushing back fast. Your hands went to the arm rests and squeezed until your knuckles turned white. Right before take off you squeezed your eyes shut trying your best to calm yourself down. You felt Bucky take your hand off the arm rest next to him and his flesh hand slid into yours. The feeling of his skin against yours made your heart rate pick up but in a good way. It made your anxieties wash away. You gave his hand a squeeze as if to say thank you. He returned the squeeze.

Once you were steady in the air you were able to open your eyes and relax your body. You realized that you were still holding Bucky's hand so you quickly let go but the squeeze coming from his hand said something different. You tried to hide the blush as you saw the small smile appear on his face while he kept his focus on the movie he was watching. So you sat there holding Bucky Barnes' hand.

Throughout the flight the two of you kept stealing little glances at one another. Having his hand in yours seriously took all the anxiety away and you had a smooth flight. Once you landed you both let go of each other's hands and walked off the plane to grab your luggage. By the time it took you to find the baggage claim your bags were already there.

"You ready?" He asked, looking at you and you nodded smiling as the two of you walked out of the airport and into the car that was there to take you to your destination. Once you made it to the hotel you both grabbed your room cards and went your separate ways.

You made it to your room and just collapsed onto your bed. You made sure what time you had to be ready to leave and decided to take a quick nap.

You woke up from your nap and got yourself ready to head and meet the rest of the team. You met up with Bucky in the lobby and you both headed to the undisclosed location. Arriving at the building and finding the team you and Bucky joined them.

"Great everyone is here." Tony started. "I guess now would be a good time to tell you all that we aren't actually here on work. I brought you all here so we could all have a vacation!" He says and you all looked at each other confused.

"Tony, what do you mean? " Natasha speaks up.

"Well, I knew that if I told you all to take a vacation no one would have listened. So I took one leap ahead and bought you all here. Enjoy Paris!" He says before walking out of the building before anyone had the chance to stop him. Soon everyone kinda collected all the information and headed on their ways.

"I swear that man has some nerve, putting me on a plane for no good reason." You say as Bucky laughed at you.

"Well, not for no good reason. You get to relax now." He says looking on the bright side. You shrugged your shoulders.

"Hey, how about we get out of here and maybe go get something to eat?" He asked, making your palms sweaty and your heart rate pick up.

"That sounds great." You say as he smiled back at you holding his arm out for you to take which you obliged. He walked the two of you out of the building and into the city of Paris. The night was beautiful as you two took a stroll to find a place to eat. Soon enough you found one and went in to eat.

Dinner was amazing and the time you had with Bucky was equally amazing. Once you were done with dinner and he grabbed the check before you could. He said,

"I wanna take you somewhere." He says standing up and offering you his hand. Before you know it he takes off running and you laugh and follow him. Soon he stopped running and covered your eyes with his hands.

"Buck, where are we?" You asked, he took his hands off and you opened your eyes to see that you were standing in front of the Eiffel Tower. In the city of love, with the man you wished loved you.

"Woah." You say speechless and he just watches you in awe. He wraps an arm around your waist and you lean into him taking in every second of this moment. He bravely took a chance and placed a small kiss on your cheek. Making you turn your head to look at him.

"Bucky, I have to tell you something." You say as he nods as if saying to continue.

"I have no idea how you feel and this isn't me forcing you into anything you don't want. But, I really like you Bucky Barnes. You're the reason my heart beats. When I'm with you it's like everything else just washes away and I'm whole. I just had to tell you before it ate me alive." You say shyly as he never took his eyes off of you.

"Who says I don't want to?" He says before placing one hand on your face and the other on your waist. Before kissing you he looked you in the eyes and said,

"My heart beats for you, doll." He pulled you closer to him and put his lips on yours before pulling you down into a dip as you heard some faint cheers around you. Smiling into the kiss you kissed him back, arms around his neck feeling like you were flying.

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that." You said as you pulled away resting your foreheads together. He smiled before kissing you again.

So here you were, at the Eiffel Tower, in the city of love. With the man of your dreams.
