part 1:

"make the decision stark" thanos boomed.

it was the final battle against thanos (or so they thought) and tony stark had to make the decision of a lifetime.

"no. you can't make him do this!" pepper tried to scream out before one of thanos' children covered her mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"go on."

thanos grabbed you by the neck and lifted you into the air.

"DO IT STARK. or i'll kill her istantly."

you were fighting for your life, struggling to breathe. you thought this was the end.

"you can only save one stark" thanos said.

"don't make me choose" tony begged.

"pepper or y/n."

he grabbed you both by the neck, edging closer to the cliff.

"TELL ME STARK: who do you want to save? the love of your life, or your firstborn."

you were both practically millimetres away from falling to your death.

"STARK-" thanos began.

"y/n. take y/n" tony finally spluttered out.

you felt your heart sink. how could he do this to you? you were betrayed, angry.

thanos let pepper go and she ran into tony's arms. he squeezed her tightly, looking back at thanos.

"oh i see how it is. choosing true love over your precious child. well stark, say goodbye."

you hovered over the cliff, sobbing and choking. this was it. this was how it was going to end. i don't wanna go you thought. but ultimately, you had no choice.

he let go of you as you plummeted to your death. you could hear screams from above. heart-broken screams of those you loved. tony's scream. he meant nothing to you now. all that love for him disappeared. you just felt anger towards him. red, raging, growing anger.

bucky's scream overpowered the rest. his heart was shattered. all you wanted was to give him the tightest hug ever. you loved him.

you finally reached the bottom of the cliff as you felt your eyes close and your body begin to go cold. this was the end. you were dead.

20 minutes later

everyone made their way to the bottom of the cliff where you lay. they stared at your lifeless body with tears in their eyes.

"how could you? how could you do that to her, tony. she was only young. she had so much to live for. how could you-" loki choked out through sobs.

"why?" that's all bucky could say. he didn't want to be in the same room as tony at this point. however heart-broken tony was, times that by around 100 and you'll get close to how bucky was feeling. he just wanted to go. why wasn't it him?

"someone's got to clear it up" steve managed to find the courage to say. "buck, you might not wanna stay for this bit, buddy."

sam patted him on the back. "come on bucky, let's get you out of here."

"so. how do i look?" you asked.

bucky smiled. "like a goddess, love."

you chuckled. "i can't wait for tonight james, it's going to be amazing."

"i can't wait either darling. now, where's my cologne?"

"oh i don't know, sorry." you replied.

"i know you know where it is y/n, don't play dumb with me."

"i'm not lying i have no idea" you laughed.

he searched through your wardrobe and found a draw of hoodies. they all smelled of his cologne. your cheeks grew red. underneath the pile of hoodies, was his cologne.

"well well well." he said playfully, raising an eyebrow.

"i swear i forgot about that."

he pinned you down against the bed and started tickling your body.

"bucky- stop! hey! oh- NOT THERE YOU CHEEKY BUGGER" you screamed as he tickled you.

he stopped after a few minutes and you both burst out laughing. you lay next to one another, your head resting on his shoulder. you could stay like this forever.

you checked the clock.

"james look at the time! we'll be late for our reservation!"

bucky sat up and put on his shoes. "don't we have enough time for something else?" he asked cheekily.

"get your mind out of the gutter barnes. now hurry up, we'll be late!" you urged.

he rolled his eyes and got up from the bed. you did the same.

"come on bucky, let's get you out of here" you said to him as you made your way down the stairs.

he smiled, then he was interrupted by you shouting and swearing at him. "buck i swear to fucking god if you don't get your ass downstairs within the next 20 seconds, you can kiss this relationship goodbye!"

he got scared and ran down the stairs into the kitchen, as you both waited for the uber to pick you up.

present

"come on buck" sam lead him away from your lifeless body and back to his house.

once back at sam's house, bucky sat down on the sofa, thinking.

"i'm sorry buck. i know how much you loved her. it must hurt" sam comforted him, or tried to comfort him.

bucky finally spoke. "i just don't understand. why? love is replaceable but the bond with your child isn't. i wish it was me. i wish i could've sacrificed myself for her. she deserves to be sitting here right now. she had so much left to live. i've lived my life. she hasn't. i just miss her, sam. what i would give to hold her one last time."

"bucky you know she would've always sacrificed herself for you. you're both as stubborn as each other. but i know she would want you to live your life. she would tell you 'you haven't lived your life. you were brainwashed for decades: how is that living your life? you deserve happiness buck. even without me.' and i agree with that. god, i'm so mad at tony for sacrificing y/n, but you've got to live your life. you deserve happiness after everything you've been through." sam told him. bucky burst out into tears.

"i'm gonna make you a drink, okay? steve's coming over shortly. you'll be okay. do you want something to eat?"

bucky looked at him. "cheeseburgers."

"i'll buy you all the cheeseburgers you want, buck."
