Grotesque || Bucky Barnes x Reader

9

Last night was pretty blurry to me but I remembered enough of it to know why Bucky is currently in my bed. I open my eyes to see two arms wrapped around my waist, for once in my life I felt safe it's like I had seen Halley's comet again which was something I'd never expect to see again.

Bucky was such a peaceful sleeper, he tossed and turned but once he eased into my bed you could hear faint snores escape his lips. Moment pass of me staring at Bucky's face, how did I even get here? Not even a year ago we wouldn't have been able to stand in the same room as each other but now we are sleeping in the same bed, cuddling, kissing.

Steve was never able to make me feel like this and Steve was a perfect man, so why is it that a broken man made me feel at home for the first time since my adoptive parents. I must admit it took a week to get used to my feelings but I mean Its not like I could ever hide them anyways.

"oh sorry was I squeezing" Bucky snaps me out of my thoughts and I shake my head "No no you're fine" rubbing his cheek with my thumb admiring his pearly blue eyes "how did you sleep" I ask and he rubs his eye "honestly, that was the best sleep I have had in a while" he chuckled with a raspy voice, no one knew where Bucky was last night no one except for this lady here.

"Ms Y/n, Steve Rogers is approaching," Jarvis says interrupting my gaze "fuck hide," I say getting up "he's definitely going to be pissed," I say as Bucky gives me a concerned look "go in the bathroom quick" He stands up shirtless, grabbing his shirt and running to the bathroom locking the door.

"y/n" Steve yells banging on my door as I jog over and open it "hey steve whats up" I clear my throat "come sit sorry i haven't made my bed just woke up" I smile as he nods slowly "look i need to talk to bucky he hasn't been home all night do you know where he is" Steve asks and I lean against my bathroom door "James? Do i know where James is? You know who you are talking to right?" I question him.

"I do know y/n I also know he asked you to the party last night" Steve grits his teeth walking up to me "yeah and?" I say not knowing why he has a problem with it "Last time I checked you two couldn't stand being in the same room, now you guys are super close and he's following you around what is wrong with that picture" Steve waves his arms in the air like the old man he naturally is. "nothing? James asked me to the party because we both didn't have dates" I didn't know what his problem was but this 'problem' seems to grind his gears.

"y/n you know damn well why I'm asking" deep down I did, Steve shouldn't be jealous though its not like my name was 'Steve's Girl', I mean I never really was all I was, was a means to an end. "You're mine y/n" He gets closer "Steve you know we cant I refuse to do this all again, me and you were too good to be true or maybe it wasn't good at all you know you want peggy and you also know that I am not her" I say as he takes a step back.

"i know you love him y/n" Steve whispers "i knew i lost you when you met him i was just testing you" he continues and his voice breaks "i was never good enough for you steve" he sits on my bed and looks up "its alright, im happy for you not all good things last" he places a hand on my leg "but if you ever end up with him, things take time, not everything will be perfect he doesn't know how these things work since the forties and I don't blame him but you two are perfect" Steve says and I smile.

"but promise me this, if you do date him take my advice and give it time you may find some bumpy roads but i know that for you its worth it because you both care, if he ever does anything harsh just don't blame him he tries his hardest in this lifetime" Steve stands up and I walk over to him and kiss him on the cheek "you know ill always love you" I smile "just not in the same way we used to" He says and I nod and he exits.

" well that was sentimental" Bucky says walking out still with no shirt, he looks at me with a smile "you love me" he teases poking my waist "what no," I say pretending to be disgusted but the cat was already out of the bag "don't worry doll it's a mutual feeling" he chuckles pecking my forehead bringing me in for a hug.
