If this is what it takes (Bucky Barnes x reader)

Chapter 6

I woke up by two men arguing. First I couldn’t make out the voices but then I heard Bucky. “You can talk with her later! She didn’t sleep well the last two nights. What different does it make if you talk two hours later?” He whisper-yelled. “You don’t understand! She was in Loki’s cell this morning!” This was Tony’s voice. My eyes widened in shook. “I know it. I promise, I’ll come with her down, when she wakes up.” Bucky replied, a lot calmer than Tony. “Okay, Barnes. But I swear if you get her out of here, you two will end up just like Loki.” Then I heard him walk away and the door closed. Bucky sighed.
I sat up. “Hey.” I said. “Did I wake you?” He asked. “I slept enough. I am sorry that you're in trouble because of me.” I said before he could say anything else. “Stark never liked me so, it’s not a problem.” He shrugged. “I should go and talk to him or at least try. He might try to rip my head off.” I joked. “I’ll come with you. You never know.” I chuckled but he stayed serious. “Okay, now I am scared.” I said and the joy in my voice and face was gone. “You don’t have to. He won’t hurt you, I promise.” I smiled weakly. “Thank you, again. I don’t know why you do all of this but I am happy that you help me, I really am.” I walked over to him and gave him a hug, he returned it. “It’s nothing. I am happy to help.” I sighed. “We shouldn’t let him wait.” Bucky nodded and we made our way to Tony’s lab.
I knocked and Tony opened almost immediately. “Ah Phoebe. Come in.” He said with a strong voice. Bucky was right behind me. “I would like to speak with you, alone.” He looked at Bucky as he said the last word. Bucky looked at me, I nodded but he shook his head. “No.” Tony looked mad. “It’s okay Bucky.” I assured him and tried to calm him down. He waited. “I won’t hurt her.” Tony said and rolled his eyes. He looked at me again and sighed. Then Bucky left.
“I guess you know, why you are here?” I nodded. “Why were you there?” He asked with a harsh tone what made me take a step back. “I- We talked.” I mumbled. “About what?” I looked down, not dare to look into his eyes. “I tried to understand him. He isn’t the bad guy you th-" He cut me off. “Yeah? It’s not like he destroyed New York and wanted to destroy the whole world? I tell you something! He did and if you think he isn’t bad then you should be in a cell too! You don’t know what he’s capable of!” Tony yelled and I started tearing up. “Just, h- hear him o-out.” I stuttered. I formed fists with my hands and tried to calm back down. ‘Stay strong. You are not in danger. Calm down.’ I told myself and it helped. “Don’t you think we already did that!? He is a criminal, a monster! He kills for fun!” My body started shaking. “Let me try. Please. He will talk with me.” I pleaded. “And you think that will work!?” My breath went heavy. “I am not sure but I have to try.” I replied and looked up. “Tell me what exactly you talked about.” He commented but in a calmer tone. “Yesterday, I could look through his illusion. I don’t know how, I promise. He wanted to know how and I told him the same. It was like I could feel it.” It wasn’t exactly a lie but I couldn’t tell him about Sebastian. “I am sure he had reasons for his actions. You don’t know his past. He didn’t intend to do anything bad when I was with him.” I explained. It was silent for a moment. “I will talk with the others. You can go.” He just said and turned around, starting working again.
I went outside, where Bucky was waiting for me. He had a shocked expression as he saw me. “What did he do?” The shock turned into anger. “It’s okay. He didn’t touch me. I am fine.” I told him and smiled weakly. Tears started filling my eyes again but why? Everything was fine and yes, maybe Tony yelled at me but is that really so bad? Bucky hugged me and I buried my head into his chest. Then I cried quietly. “Hey, hey. It’s okay.” He told me and patted my head what calmed me again. He had this effect on me… I wanted to tell him anything and could let everything out. He made me feel save, more than anyone ever before. I let out a long breath and he hugged me a little tighter.

Sebastian POV:
I was not far away when I heard yells coming out of Tony’s lab. I went there and then it stopped. When I reached it, I saw Bucky and Y/n hugging. Honestly, they looked cute together. I stayed there for a second, then I heard sobs. They weren’t loud but I could hear them. I guesses it was Y/n and didn’t know if I should go there or not. It looked like Buck could help her, so, I went back into the living room.
“Hey, Seb! You wanna train with me?” Steve asked me. “No, thanks.” I said and still didn’t pay much attention to anyone. I sat down on the couch. “Is everything okay? You seem so in your mind.” Steve asked. “I think Tony spoke with her about the think with Loki and I saw her with Bucky outside Tony’s lab, she was crying.” I explained. “Tony didn’t really make her cry?” Natasha exclaimed and jumped off her seat. “It seems like it.” I sighed. “You know Tony. He overreacts like damn. I  didn’t talk to her because she hugged with Bucky. I guess he is the only one right now who can help her. Don’t ask me why.” I put my hands up in defense. “I guess I know.” Steve said and we all looked at him, confused. “Of all of us, I know Bucky the best and I never saw him like that. Don’t you saw how he looks at her?” I thought for a second but then it hit me. “You mean he likes her?!” I asked and my eyes widened. Steve stayed calm and nodded. It made sense. Bucky always tried to be with her and help her and at the other side, Y/n tried to be with him and he could comfort her, calm her down. Could they really fall in love so easily? “I’m in my room.” I said and left.
I had to think about some things, then I heard a voice in my head. ‘Come down. I wanna talk to you.’ Loki commented. ‘Seriously? Right now, isn’t the best time. Can’t it wait?’ I asked back. ‘It’s important.’ I sighed and made my way to Loki’s cell.
“What the hell is so important, Loki?” I asked annoyed. “I wanna get out of here and I don’t mean breaking out. I wanna convince your team to let me out.” He replied calmly.

Y/n POV:
After some minutes, Bucky and I let go of each other. I looked at his shirt and it was filled with my tears. “I am sorry. I ruined your shirt.” I spoke. “It’s ok. I have tons of those.” He chuckled a little. “Maybe I shouldn’t be here.” I admitted. “Why?” Bucky asked shocked. “I only cast problems since I know you. First you had to save my life then I wake you because of my nightmares. I can’t help anyone and now the thing with Loki. I don’t belong here.” I mumbled. “It is not your fault, Phoebe.” I looked back up. “Yes, it is.” New tears started filling my eyes. Bucky took my head into his hands. “Don’t you say that. I am happy that you are here, maybe not happy about why but I am thankful that Sebastian met you and brought you here. Stark just overrated like he always does but he didn’t do it because of you. He just wants everyone to be save and not in danger.” He told me. I looked into his eyes. His expression was soft.
“You don’t have to do this, Bucky.” I said and broke the eye contact. “You’re right. I don’t have to do it but I already told you, I want to. Remember that mission yesterday? I couldn’t stop thinking of you. I asked myself, what if something happens to you and I am not there to help? I didn’t know this feeling before and I didn’t know where it came from but now, I do. I kept asking myself, why can’t I stop thinking about her? Why do I feel like I am responsible for her? How can she be so important? I thought about it and do you wanna know why? Because I fell for you.” My expression softened. I looked at him not knowing if he meant it.
His eyes were locked with mine, then he pulled me in and our lips met in a soft, loving kiss. We pulled away, both breathing heavy. “There is only one question left. Do you feel the same?” I couldn’t talk. I nodded not knowing what else to do, then he kissed me again. This time it was harder and more passionate. Our lips moved in sync and I never wanted to stop kissing him. But then we had to pull away again. “And it’s not a bad thing, to always see the good in others.” Bucky told me and I just nodded again.
