"Fuck"
Tony's mind was spinning. His mind being clouded with negative thoughts. 'How can he just leave without saying goodbye?' 'He wouldn't, he couldn't, but maybe he did..'
Tony began to feel his palms sweat and felt the beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His breath began to shorten and he started to feel light headed. All he could see where the many people walking up to others either congratulating them or just giving quick 'hellos'.
Tony's eyes wandered the crowd trying to find something, anything, anyone who he'd recognize to help his growing anxiety from spilling out of him. What Tony didn't notice was the figure that slowly crept up behind him. Said figure wrapped their arms around the others waist from behind and placed their head in his shoulder. Tony's breath hitched and he quickly maneuvered himself out the others grip, ready to strike.
"Woah" the figure said with their hands up in defense. Tony let out a breath now realizing it was the boy he was searching for. "You asshole. Why do you have a phone if you never answer your calls!" Tony said hitting buckys chest lightly with a pout.
"I'm sorry. The Career Center director wanted to speak with me." He pulled the other closer, placing a quick peck on the others lips. " you did amazing out there by the way."
"we'll of course i did. I'm The Tony Stark." Tony used his hand to flick his imaginary full length hair from his shoulder. Bucky chuckled and hugged the other tightly. "i have to leave very soon."
"I know. Do you really have to?" Tony pouted and made puppy eyes at the older. "Tony-" he began before being cut off "I know I know. I just, idk, i'm really going to miss you." Tony replied sadly sinking his face in Buckys shoulder.
The two just stood their continuing to ignore the world around them and only focus on the way they each felt with the other. Both never wanting the warmness between them to end. That is until Steve and Natasha came running towards the two. The looks they have making the other two nervous.
"Buck all flights have been cancelled in and out the US." Steve said trying to catch his breath. Bucky let go of Tony leaving the other to pout. " The president has declared war against Russia. Look." Steve pulls out his phone and taps the screen a few times pulling up a news outlet and the live broadcast. Tony is now noticing how people where all gathering around in groups watching the same thing.
"President Idot, made a statement today where he declared war against Russia. Troops are being deployed to both the Ukraine, Poland, and Latvia as well as supplies to help as much as they can. Also in his statement he announced that males and females ages 16-28 will be drafted to serve their nation..." Buckys phone began to ring so he pulled it out his pocket and answered not even checking the caller ID.
"Hello?"
"James. Come home now."
"Mom."
"Now James don't you dare be a second late."
*call ends*
Bucky looks at his friends and boyfriend. "I have to go." Neither person said anything they just let him go. Steve and Natasha being a year younger than the other two just stayed quiet.
Tony was standing there staring at a single leaf on the ground trying to process everything. Not long passed before Natasha broke him out of his thoughts and suggested he go home to his family as well.
Tony complied and made his way to his car and drove home. Upon arrival he seen both his parents cars parked in the driveway. He got out and slowly walked to the front door. He stood outside for a good 5 minutes before going inside, making sure to take a glance across the street while he was at it. Once he was inside he could hear his parents discussing something in the kitchen but not really grasping any of the content. he slowly began to approach the doorway.
"Howard you have to do something. We can't let him go. He's our boy our only boy." Maria said he voice cracking. "I know i'm trying my best. I called some people already and we are trying to work it out give it some time. Have some faith in me, hmm?" Howard said as he approached his wife and rubbing her shoulders before bringing her in for a hug. She sobbed into her husbands chest, saying inaudible things.
'Oh yeah. i kinda forgot about that' Tony thought. He turned around and quietly made his way to his room. Once he was in there he payed on his bed and the exhaustion from all his emotions and activities from today hit him all at once. Slowly his eyes began to shut and he was left to drift off to

Bucky was not as fortunate as Tony. His parents didn't have connections. Bucky didn't have a choice. When he arrived home he was met by all his family members. His Dad, Mom and elder sister all sat in the living room with the TV on playing the news still.
The moment he walked in they all got up and made their way towards him. They hugged the youngest Barnes and let their emotions fly freely. Bucky silently shed tears. Not because he was afraid not because he didn't want to but because he didn't want his family to worry.
They all just stayed like that embracing each other, hoping and praying that their son will not be one of the dozens that will have to sacrifice their lives for the greater good.
Bucky made his was to his room after having dinner with all his family. He messaged Tony but upon not receiving a response just began to draw his until he passed out on his desk from exhaustion.
