Bucky calls Sam's phone, tears in his eyes.
The phone goes straight to message bank, the familiar sound of his husband's soothing voice filtering through the line.
"Hey, sorry I missed your call, I'll try and ring you back."
He smiles sadly.
"Hey, baby, today was good." He starts, knowing he only has so little time before the timer goes off.
"I uh, met someone new. She's a nice gal, pretty, kind of reminds me of you, you know?"
His voice trails off as he clenches his hands, the familiar whine of metal plates locking into place, ready for a battle.
And I guess you could call it a battle.
A battle with himself and the fact that Sam isn't with him anymore, that he left with the promise of seeing him again in another life.
Another reality.
"I uh, her name's Samantha. I must have a thing with names starting with 'S' huh?"
A sad chuckle.
"I miss you, a lot. Its getting harder and harder to keep going Sam!"
He inhales shakily, feeling his girlfriend's arms wrap around his waist in a comforting grip.
She doesn't say anything. Just holds her boyfriend close while he talks to his husband.
"And every day without you? It feels like a fucking stab to the FUCKING HEART!"
He's crying now, salty tears still feeling so foreign to him after all these years of recovering.
It feels all the hard work Sam had done for him went down the drain.
"I just miss you. And I wish you hadn't jumped the gun."
He wipes his, eyes red and raw from bawling his eyes out.
It's a fresh wound and may be for a very long time, but with the help of his girlfriend, he'll get there. With spirit Sam watching the scene with a bittersweet smile.
Over time, he finds himself getting better. Finds that Sam's absence is getting easier to bear.
Skip to ten years later he has kids with his wife, Samantha, both of them telling stories of their heroic uncle (or would it be father?)
And they would smile at the pure awe in their children's eyes.
Is that what you a self-indulgent fic? Because I'm feeling like shit and just want hugs smh.
