The elevator started to go down.
You could cut the tension with a knife.
When I thought that I couldn't get worse the elevator stopped.
-What...?- I asked looking at Bucky confused -What happened?-
-The elevator just stopped.- he sighed, running a hand through his hair -Can you call Nat or Wanda?- he asked.
-Yeah, good idea.- I put a hand in my pocket but my phone wasn't there -Shit, I left it in my room. And Vision is out so Jarvis won't answer us.-
-Amazing.- he said sitting down -So we are locked here until someone notices we're gone?- he asked.
-Probably. When the others will come back dad, Peter or Steve will notice that we aren't there.- I sat a little away from him.
-Yeah...- he said, nodding.
He sighed and looked at his hands.
We stayed in silence for what, to me, seemed an eternity.
"He's really going to ignore me until someone finds us...what did I do, Bucky?" I thought, feeling my heart sink and my eyes tearing.
I cared about him, truly, and I couldn't bear this situation anymore.
-Bucky?- I called him, he just hummed in response -Why are you ignoring me?- I asked directly looking at his face.
-I'm not.- he answered without even looking at me.
-Yes, you are, James. When I'm in the same room as you, you just leave. You don't talk to me anymore. You don't go in the training room when I'm working out, just to not see me. You don't even look at me now that I'm talking to you. Why are you doing this?- I asked, my voice started trembling, he looked at me for a second after that he lowered his gaze -Why?!- I screamed, but I immediately regretted it.
-Don't scream at me!- he yelled back and I flinched, closing my eyes instinctively -I'm...I'm sorry...I didn't...I don't want to hurt you...- he said softly, resting his hand on my shoulder.
-You are hurting me, Bucky, by ignoring me. Tell me why you are avoiding me.- I said try to not blush, since he moved closer to me.
-You should ask Peter.- he said in a cold tone and looked away.
-What does Peter have to do with this?- I asked, confused.
-You know.- he simply said.
-No, I don't.- I shook my head.
-Yes, you do. Don't play dumb.- he said in a tone which he never use with me.
It was a tone full of anger, sadness and...jealousy?
-I really don't understand you, Barnes. Or better, you don't let me understand you. At least Peter does it. That's why he's better than you.- I said, without thinking and crossing my arms.
-He's just better than me because he's your boyfriend!- he yelled, standing up.
-He's not my boyfriend!-
-Can you stop lying for a second?- he said.
-I'm not lying! He's not my boyfriend!- I stood up too.
-Why should I believe you?- he asked.
-Because I love you!- I yelled.
When I saw the shock on Bucky's face I realised what I just said.
I felt my heart beating faster, I flushed and I covered my face with my hands.
-What...?- he asked, shocked.
-Sorry...I didn't want to say that.- I said sitting down.
-But you mean it, right?- he asked, sitting next to me.
-Yeah...- I lowered my gaze, blushing even more, feeling my eyes shining.
-y/n, look at me.- he said, with his hand under my chin, to make me have eye contact with him.
-What?- I asked.
-I started avoiding you because the evening that you and Peter went to the lab together, when your father asked me to get you for dinner I hear Peter declaring his feelings at you and I saw you hugging him, so I thought that...that you two were in a relationship, and I got jealous, because...I...I love you too.- he said sighing -Everything started the morning that I had that nightmare and you slept on the couch next to me. But I didn't understand immediately. I get that something wasn't right when you came back from your mother's house and Peter hugged you. Also when you came to save me in the Hydra base. Or when we slept together after you got shoot.- he said blushing a little.
I was in complete shock.
Bucky felt the same way?
Was I dreaming?
-I...I...don't know what to say.- I said speechless.
Bucky shifted next to me and moved his hand to my cheek, stroking it.
-Can I...kiss you...?- He whispered looking at my lips.
-Yeah...- I whispered, flicking my eyes from his eyes to his lips.
I closed my eyes and I felt his lips on mine.
I brought my arms around his neck, as he brought his hands on my hips, bringing me more close to him.
His tongue asked for access to my mouth and I opened my lips a little.
I took his hair in my hands, pulling them a little, hearing him moaning softly in our kiss.
He took me by my hips, making me sit on his lap, without breaking the kiss.
We made out for a little longer, when we broke the kiss, gasping for air, we rested one forehead against the other.
-Your father is going to kill me...- he said, as I sat next to him, and he put his arm around my shoulders.
-I don't get why he hates you so much.- I said, resting my head on his shoulder.
-I don't know.- he said and I could feel him stiffen.
-We have to keep this between us, don't we?- I asked sadly.
-Your father has cameras everywhere. Where are going to meet?-
-We could see each other in the gym, after the training. There aren't cameras in the locker rooms.- I smiled.
-We can try.- he kissed me softly -Anyway was that your...y'know?- he asked.
-My first kiss? Yeah, yeah it was.- I blushed.
-If it can make you feel better, this was my first kiss since the 40s.- he smiled as he took my hand in his.
