the one where sh*t happens

Chapter Thirty-Three

*narrator pov*
Bucky, Peter, Sam, Sharon and Aunt May had all gathered at the police station. They were waiting to talk to you in a private interrogation room.
A police officer walked you in and undid your cuffs. "You have 10 minutes" she said as she left.
Everyone in the room gave you a hug one after the other. Peter was last.
"You're okay y/n/n?"
"I'm sorry. Who are you?" you asked.
Peter looked at you, then at Bucky, then back at you. "Wha-what?"
"Do I know you?"
Peter started to tear up, and you started laughing.
"Peter! I'm just teasing you! I'm sorry, don't cry dork!"
"Wow. You're a horrible horrible person" Peter chuckled as he wiped his eyes.
"Well that's why I'm going to jail I guess" you laughed.
You stopped when you noticed no one laughing with you.
"Y/n" May reached across the table and held your hand in hers "you're not going to jail."
"But..."
"No. You're not going."
"I- I'm pleading guilty."
"What?" Bucky asked.
"No you're not. You're not pleading guilty" Peter told you.
"I agree with Peter. That's not happening" May corresponded.
"But... I am. I did it. All the things. I did them" you told them.
Bucky moved from leaning on the wall to sit in the chair next to you. He took your hands from May and squeezed them tightly. You were looking down, and Bucky lifted your chin with his finger. Your eyes met his.
"You're not guilty. Stop thinking that. We will prove what Zemo did to you. You are innocent. You are not going to jail. Understand?"
Bucky stared into your eyes. "Understand?" he repeated.
You nodded slowly, staring back.
"Okay" he said "good."
"We need to prove that you weren't willingly associating or involved with Zemo" Sam informed.
You blushed ever so slightly, but Peter noticed.
"Y/n what is it?" Peter asked.
"Nothing" you lied.
"Y/n is there something you need to tell us?" May followed up.
"Okay! But in my defence! I was trying to make the most of a bad situation" you moaned.
"What did you do?" Sam asked.
"I may have slightly accidentally kinda kissed Zemo."
"You what?!" Bucky exclaimed.
"It only happened once! I swear! Fine it happened twice. Okay three times. Three! I swear that's it just three! Three!"
Everyone looked at you disappointed and very unimpressed.
"Relax four times is nothing."
"You said three" Peter pointed out.
"Oops?" you shrugged.
"Oops?! What were you thinking? You can't just go around kissing random guys! Especially ones that kidnap you!" Bucky complained.
"You kidnapped me."
"For the last time, I did not kidnap you! You're Aunt knew where you were, so did Peter."
"Y/n you realise this makes them right" Sam interrupted.
"Wait no. No. Because it wasn't really willing full. He kissed me first. And many times after that. Against my will. So like, he kidnapped me AND assaulted me?" you argued, hoping you were right.
"We need to prove that" Sam replied.
"Well we can use the security camera footage from the airport. You can see the gun clearly on the screen" Peter chimed in.
"Good idea" Sam responded.
"Wait you saw what happened at the airport?" you asked, and looked subtly at Sharon.
"Just Sam, Peter and I" Bucky assured when he noticed where you were looking.
Thank God, you thought.
"Okay what else?" you inquired.
"What else?" Bucky repeated.
"Yeah. If you really do think I'm not guilty, you're going to need more proof. A gun won't get very far."
"Okay y/n. If we want to convince a jury you're not guilty, you have to believe it yourself too" May said.
"I'm sorry. I just- I did do it. I helped Zemo find Bucky. I'm responsible."
"You did nothing y/n" Bucky put his hand on your shoulder.
"I think that was the problem. I did nothing. And it got you in trouble" you took his hand off your shoulder and held it in your lap.
"Don't talk like that. You did not get me in trouble."
"I did. It's my fault. If I wasn't there, it never would have happened. Zemo wouldn't have..."
"Oh can you please shut up!"
Everyone was startled by the subtle yell.
"Excuse me?" you looked at Sharon.
"I'm sorry! But I can not listen to you complain for one more minute that you feel guilty that MY boyfriend dropped everything, including me, to come and save you! It's his fault that he obviously can't get over you!"
Everyone stared at Sharon.
She looked mildly embarrassed but didn't take back what she said.
"What? It's true."
Everyone looked at Bucky.
"Bucky?" you whispered. "Is it?"
He was looking down at your hands, holding onto them tightly.
"Ok times up" the police officer from before walked in.
Bucky took the opportunity to get up and walk out the door before anyone else could protest or stop him.
Sam and Sharon walked out too without saying goodbye.
"We're going to get you out of this" Peter told you when he hugged you.
"I know" you kissed him gently on the cheek and he stepped aside.
"Everything's going to be okay" May said as she hugged you too. "And when this is over, we're going to have a talk about that boyfriend of yours. No wonder you never let me meet him."
"Uhm you can take me away now" you hurriedly turned to the police woman and held out your hands.
"And he's an EX boyfriend" you corrected May.
"What is he, like twenty years older than you?" she asked.
"More like eighty" you smiled as the police woman put handcuffs back on you.
"What? We need to talk about this young lady!"
"Sorry can't! Going to jail" you called back as you were walked out the room.
