Marvel Imagines pt. 5

You said you wouldn't (but you did) ❤️‍🔥 Bucky

Song: Taylor Swift - Afterglow.

Imagine; he said he wouldn't break your heart, but he ends up doing it anyway.

I had this in my drafts still and because right now I'm not really fine enough to write, so here you go!

Warnings: angst! Angst!

Outfit inspo, idk I just found these dresses:

•••

You've been dancing around it for a while. Your friendship with Bucky has been turning into more of a situation in which you get mixed signals.

Of course Wanda and Natasha found out about your feelings almost instantly when they asked you about it and you turned as red as a fire truck.

Their encouragements were all you need to make the big decision to tell him tonight at the party.

Wanda and Natasha told you that Bucky most likely feels the same with the way he acts around you. From giving you a bite of his food, which he usually doesn't share, to cuddling you on the couch. "He's head over heels!" Natasha had said.

You feel confident as you walk into the party. You put on your nicest dress, put on some makeup and you're even wearing heels instead of those comfortable combat boots like you usually wear.

'Phew! You sure clean up nice...' Wanda whistles at you and you chuckle.

'You telling him tonight?' Nat asks, you give her a proud smile and nod. 'Good!'

'I'm nervous... and kind of excited... I mean... I don't want to ruin my friendship but I can't keep on pretending, right?'

'And even if he doesn't feel the same way, he wouldn't break your heart, he would let you down gently...' Wanda remarks.

'Hey thanks.. that makes me feel really confident..'

'Sorry...' she apologised with a small smile. 'But seriously Y/n... either way this can hardly ruin your friendship...'

'He promised he wouldn't break my heart so I'm counting on that right now.'

You look around for him. Your eyes scan the room while your heart is beating out of your chest. Once your eyes spot him, your heart leaps.

His eyes widen at you before he gives you a kind smile. Wanda and Nat give you a few more encouragements before you make your way over to him.

'Hey you...' he chuckles at you. 'Hey to you too...' you reply.

'Any particular reason you're more dolled up than usual?' He asks curiously.

'I uh... actually can we talk..' you ask him. He looks confused for a moment, something unrecognisable fills his eyes before he gives you a short nod.

'Everything okay?' He asks as you lead him out to the balcony.

'Yeah yes, it's nothing bad I promise... I just...' your hands awkwardly wring together. You're trying to look at him but you can't.

'I want us to be honest to each other... and lately I haven't really been honest, and I keep thinking about it over and over again and then I got really confused and-'

'Y/n...' he chuckles lightly as he places both hands on your arms. 'What is it?'

'I like you... as more than a friend...' you try to look him in the eyes, but you kinda wished you didn't.

You look up and see the pure disbelief, follows by loud laughter. 'You?'

'Bucky this isn't funny, I'm serious...' you frown at his reaction.

'I'm sorry I just... it's funny to me... look...' he stops laughing for a moment. He has tears in his eyes, so do you. But yours are not from laughing.

'I don't really see you that way... I see you as a friend...' then his laughter continues again making the tears build further.

'Fuck you Barnes...' you shake your head walking back further and further, right towards the door.

'Y/n..' he sighs, 'don't be like this because I don't feel the same...it's not fair...'

You let out a scoff, trying to keep yourself from bursting into sobs right then and there. You don't care that he doesn't feel the same. You do care about the fact that he laughed right in your face.

'You're know what's not fair?' You lowly respond. 'You laughing in my face... I thought you were better than that...I thought That at least I meant more to you than you laughing in my face..'

That's the moment the smile gets slapped right of his face. It's like he gets drenched with ice cold water. He never thought of that. The hurt he hears in your voice, it makes him regret even smiling at you after you admitted your love to him.

'Y/n-'

'No... no don't... don't talk to me... don't call me.. don't text me.. just.. I'm done..'

'So that's it? Friendship over?'

'The second you laughed in my face like that? Yeah.. it's over...' you step in again. You don't even feel like crying anymore.

You're just so done. You're numb. You didn't want the friendship to end like this, but someone who treats you like this? Isn't worthy of you, no matter what way.
