A love to fight for! (Bucky X Reader)

Chapter 5:

"Urgh" you grumbled face down into your pillow.

You knew last nights events would have an effect on you but not this badly.

You slowly sat up in your bed until you rested with your back against the headboard, you were a mess.
You lay there looking around at the consequences of drinking to much, your head was spinning.

Your freshly clean white bedding was covered in chow mein and stains, the TV was still on in the background as well.

You put your head in your hands as you grumbled some more about the mess you had to clean, the embarrassment to face everyone today (especially on your first official day of training) and the pain you were in.

You wanted to shut the blinds and go back to sleep for another hour but when you checked your phone you realised it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
You threw your phone back down on the bedside table and snuggled back down into bed.
You didn't care what the time was you were tired and grumpy, you needed the rest.

It was just at the moment you shut your eyes when you heard a knocking on the door.

"Go AwAy" you growled out.

The knocking stopped and the door creaked open.

"Hey (Y/N) it's only me, I brought you some coffee!"

Steve was a morning person, he always had been, even after a whole night of drinking he still woke up at 7am on the dot.

He placed the coffee on a coaster besides you and opened the window to let in some fresh air.
Your immediate response was to put the quilt over your head and go back to sleep but instead you acted like the adult you are and smiled weakly at him and his nice gesture and sipped the coffee.

He grabbed you an oversized zip up hoodie and a pair of matching joggers from your walk in wardrobe and placed them at the end of the bed.

"Downstairs in 10" he whispered with a smile as he walked out the door. You knew he was secretly judging you.

He did in fact whisper but it felt like a shout in your condition.

You listened to Steve and went down stairs in slightly more than 10 minutes. You were wearing your hoodie and joggers that he picked out with your hair in a messy bun and last night's makeup still on.

You yawned as you walked into the living room where you saw the team sitting around the table in what looked like a meeting.

"How nice of you to finally join us (Y/N)" Tony stated sarcastically rolling his eyes as well.

"Sorry not sorry" you replied sarcastically to match his energy.

You took a seat next to Natasha and listened to Tony ramble on for what seemed like forever about the new training schedule and any missions coming up.
You drank another cup of coffee by the time he blinked again he seemed agitated by someone, probably me for being late to this stupid meeting.

He mentioned something about training buddies which you only caught parts of. He went into further details before getting out a chart with everyone's parter on there. He also clearly stated that there would be no trading or 'swapsies' to quote.

"Just to be clear..."

His opening sentence grabbed your attention and you decided to finally pay attention to his conclusion, you would be happy with anyone just not Bucky.

Bucky sat at the opposite end of the table and didn't even give a glance in your direction instead he kept his head down as was thinking the exact same things as you. In a way he wanted to be your partner so you could learn to get along but at the same time he didn't want to have to deal with you at all.

" Natasha and Steve.
Me and Rhodes.
Wanda and Vision.
Bruce and Thor.
Clint and Peter.
   Pietro and Yelena.
And finally that leaves (Y/N) and Bucky."

Tony looked around at the team feeling proud of himself. Everyone looked happy with there partners and all was fine until someone broke the silence.

"Bullshit" Bucky snarled. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up sending his chair flying across the room. He stormed out and went down to the training room by the sounds of his footsteps.

Your eyes watered as you felt the true hate he has towards you, you didn't do anything to him if anything you should be mad at him and you were. Very. He had just humiliated you on your first day in front of the whole team.

They all looked stunned and didn't know what to say, if it wasn't for Steve you don't know what you would've done. He placed a hand over yours and said "she'll train with me and Nat in a 3- END OF!"
He shot Tony a sharp glare as if to say don't argue with me or they'll be a 'Civil War' and Tony seemed to accept it.

After that everyone scattered and went off to do there own things, you said to Steve that you were going to your room to rest but in fact you snuck downstairs to see Bucky in the training room.

You stood in the doorway contemplating whether or not to go in. You peered through and saw him, he stood unknowingly with his back towards you taking out all his frustration on a punching bag and mumbling to himself. You almost felt bad for the bag.
He gave it one last hit with his Vibranium arm and it flew of its hinges bounced off the wall and skidded over to you until it stopped at your feet.

Bucky turned to see where the punching bag went and noticed you stood behind it. He turned back around and refused to acknowledge your presence.

"Hey" you whimpered calmly trying not to annoy him further even though all you wanted to do was call him out and scream at him.

"What do you want" he snapped back.

"Nothing I just wanted you to know that I'll be training with Nat and Steve from now on." You went to turn around and leave until Bucky spoke.

"I didn't mean to snap like that or react so negatively it's just.. never mind." He turned back around and faced the empty hook of where his punch bag once was.

"It's cool, I get it don't worry I'm in a group now anyway with people who actually want to train with me".

Bucky snapped again and marched over to you until your faces were just inches away. You could smell the sweat.

"YOU DON'T GET IT THOUGH (Y/N) THAT'S THE THING, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CANT BE AROUND YOU OR TRAIN WITH YOU OR EVEN LOOK AT YOU. YOUR KILLING ME AND YOU DON'T EVEN REALISE!"

You both stared into each other's eyes, the tension building as the silence grew louder.

You continued to stare at him your mouth wide open at what he said. You couldn't think of any words to say.

"I- I..whatever I've said enough today, see you tomorrow at 9am sharp in here ready to go!."

"What for?" You questioned not even catching on to him or anything he's said.

"To train of course dummy" he grabbed his bag and walked straight past you making his way back upstairs.

You stood there in complete shock for a while just trying to process what exactly just happened before also making your way back upstairs.

His words baffled you but you couldn't help smile at knowing Bucky didn't completely hate you and that there was more to you two than what you thought.

You were still confused but had every intention on finding out what was going on between you both.

You made it your mission!
