His Songbird

chapter 20 *smut*

The days following new years were so peaceful and blissful, Bucky and I spent a lot of time together just watching movies or hanging out with the team. He even took me on a date to a cute little Italian restaurant but like most things in my life the peace didn't last long.

2 weeks after new years and dad came back to the compound, I was nervous to see him again and worried about how he would be around me. I waited in the living room while Nat, Steve and Tony went to welcome him back, many things were going through my mind when I felt Bucky's metal arm go around my waist and his head on top of mine.

"It will be okay doll, I'm here for you" he said.

"I'm scared Bucky, what if he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore? What if he never forgives me?" I whisper as tears threaten to fall down my cheeks.

"Even if that happens you have the avengers, they are your family now to and you have me"

I turn around and bury my face in his chest, his strong arms wrap around me and held me close to him. After a few minutes we heard the quinjet land and voices coming from down the hall, I pulled out of Bucky's embrace and stood waiting for my dad to enter the room. Steve and Tony entered first followed by Nat and my dad, he looked over at me but I couldn't read his face to see what he was thinking. He looked away and walked out the room, my chest hurt and I could feel the stares of the others on me. Without looking at anyone I quickly left the room and the compound and took of running through the city, tears falling down my cheeks.

Buck's pov

She ran out the room, I wanted to go after her but Nat held me back.

"Give her some time to process Bucky"

I felt anger rise in me and I really needed to hit something, fortunately for me Hawkeye entered the room. I stormed straight up to him,

"Hey Buck-"

I punched him square in his jaw, hard enough that a bruise was definitely going to form. Steve grabbed my arm and pulled me away from him and told me to go and cool off, I left the room and went to find Zee.

She wasn't in her room, or the gym, or in any part of the compound.

"Friday were is Zara?"

Miss Barton left the compound and was headed towards the city, would you like me to send her location to your phone?

"Yeah thanks"

I made my way down to the garage and put on my riding jacket and helmet, my bike revved to life and my phone beeped. She wasn't to far away, I pulled out of the garage and headed towards Zara.

Zara pov
I ran until I couldn't keep running anymore, I found a quiet alley way and as I leaned against the wall of a building I slid down to my knees as I cried. I pulled my knees to my chest and hid my head in them while wrapping my arms around myself.

He couldn't even talk to me, couldn't even look at me for more then a few seconds, I missed him so much but he doesn't care anymore. I couldn't go back knowing he was there, I cant handle the glares and the coldness from him. I wanted to leave, to be free from the stress and the pain but I cant leave Bucky. After all this time we were finally together and told each other how we felt after months of hiding and avoiding it. My heart now hurt for a different reason, torn between running away and staying for Bucky.

I don't know how long I sat there for with my thoughts swirling in my head but I became aware of another person in the alley, I felt strong arms lift me and hold me to them. Bucky's scent of old books and sandalwood filled my nose and I looked up at him, his face was full of both concern and love for me, I put my head on his chest and listen to his heart beat. It calmed my wild thoughts until all that was left was me and him.
