Bucky and Y/N

Chapter 1

On a crisp autumn morning, in the outskirts of New York, you opened up your little Bookshop for another day. As you opened up the front door, your dog (Willow) ran in and found the toy book she played with while you served customers. As you made yourself a coffee and opened up the till, you didn't think this would be the day that your life would change.

Afternoons were often quiet, and you would usually spend time checking the stock, making coffee and playing with Willow. You were not expecting the man who came walking through the door. As you sipped coffee and played fetch, the bell on the shop door rang. An attractive man in black boots, dark jeans, gloves and a leather jacket walked in.

Y/N - "hello" "how are you?"

Bucky - "Hi. I am looking for a book..."

Y/N - "well, you are in the right place", *you said in a chirpy manner smiling at the man.* "if you need any help, just shout.. my name is Y/N, by the way."

Bucky - "thanks"

He wandered off through the isles of books. As you watched him walk away, your mind wandered off somewhere else. You suddenly snapped back into focus when you heard the front door open again. Another man walks in, looking annoyed.

Sam - "Bucky?! Are you in here? Hurry up, Steve and I have been waiting for forever, and I am getting cold!"

Bucky - "Yeah, Sam! I am here! I'll be out in a moment. Just let me get these books..." 

The guy named Sam left the shop, rolling his eyes and muttering something to himself. Bucky walks over to the till where you are standing with his selection of books.

Bucky - "Sorry about him. He gets impatient" *smiling sympathetically*

Y/N - "It's okay!" *there was a pause as you were scanning the books. Suddenly you said* "Bucky... that's a unique name..."

Bucky - "Yeah, it's a nickname... My first name is James."

Both smiled at each other as he paid, and you handed him his books. As you look into his piercing blue eyes, you feel the beating of your heart get faster and faster.

Y/N - "Well, James... I hope to see you when you have finished these"

Bucky - "you will be the first person I visit" *he winked, smiled and walked out the door

The rest of the afternoon was quiet, but you had a spring in your step after meeting James. Just as you were about to close the shop, the phone rang. Seeing it was your Uncle you picked up

Y/N - "Hey,,, Uncle Tony!"

Tony - "hello, my favourite niece."

Y/N - "I am your only one..."

Tony - " That is not the point... Anyway, I was wondering what you were doing for Thanksgiving... It's coming up, and I wanted to get numbers...."

Y/N - "I am not doing anything, but I am sure I could come to you and the guys and the compound for dinner."

Tony - "Great... So just you not plus 1?"

Y/N - "Well, me and Willow."

Tony - "fine, the dog can come... I am only doing this cause I am your favourite."

Y/N - "You also know that she is well behaved and likes Morgan.."

Tony - "Yes... well, I will see you in a few weeks."

Y/N - "See you soon... Love you"

Tony - "love you two."

You hang up the phone and think... I need a whole new outfit. You drive home and scroll through Pinterest, finding the best outfit to wear, something cute that you could allow you to eat loads. You take Willow for a walk and end up home around 10ish, knowing you still had time to start on the outfit. Your Uncle might be well off and enjoy flashy, material things, but you loved to make things using a needle and thread, not just a machine. We may be alike in creativity but the proecess is very different.

A few days go by, and you have arranged a full week away to see your Uncle. You are in the shop sewing your Thanksgiving dress when the door opens, and James walks in.

Y/N - "hi, finished the books already?"

Bucky - "Hi, no, not yet, but I wanted to see if you had a book in particular."

Y/N - "okay, well, have a browse. If you can't find it, I m sure I can order it, and I can get it to you... or you can come back and pick it up."

Bucky - "great, thanks..." smiling and looking into your eyes

He wonders down the aisle, and you get a feeling in your stomach that you haven't felt in ages. As you went back to your sewing, you noticed that Willow wasn't on her bed. As panic arose, you walked through the aisles and suddenly saw Willow following James around the shop. Giggling you called her name.

Y/N - "Willow! come here! Stop following James around I don't think he has any treats for you..."

Bucky - "Sorry.. I don't but maybe when I come back I'll have some."

Y/N "You don't need to.. She is often given treats" *Crouching to the ground and making a fuss over Willow."

Bucky - "Well I will need return anyway... I cant seem to find the book I'm Looking for..."

Y/N - "Well I am sure I can order it for you.. Are you sure you don't want me to send it to your address.."

Bucky - "No need.. I want to come back.." *smilling and looking directly into your eyes*

As you both walked to the desk to order his books James looked at your pile of fabric that you were sewing together when he walked in..

Bucky - "You making something?"

Y/N - "Yes, its my dress for Thanksgiving" 

Bucky - "I'm sure your boyfriend will love it, what ever your wear.."

Y/N - "hahaha.. I don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend... I am wearing to my uncles"

Bucky - "oh well I'm sure you will look absolutely amazing" *smiling even wider than before*

Y/N - "Thanks.." *tucking your hair behind your ear and smiling shyly at James* "so what book are you looking for?"

Bucky - "oh yeah... I am looking for a hardback version of the Hobbit... My friend has lost mine so I am looking for a good replacement.."

Y/N - "I can get a range size and styles ordered and the should be here in three days.."

Bucky - "Well then Y/N,,, I will see you and Willow in a few days.." he smiled, winked and walked out the door."

Y/N - "well Willow looks like we have a new regular..."
