Bucky x Reader

-31-

Trying to keep myself calm, even every part of my soul tells me to run. "Why so surprised? I thought you would be happy to see me..." Scarface smiles. Bucky's eyes goes from the man to me, wondering what is happening. "(Y/L)!? The (Y/L)?" Nagel sounds so surprised. "Yes, (Y/L)'s family... The bounty hunters who got always in HYDRA's way. Taking down our great agents over a money!" Scarface sound so pissed as he remembered the times back then. Giving him stern stare:"Things me and my family have done is nowhere near compared what you've done.". Nagel gets up from his seat:"Sidorov, they know about the hostages..!". He is the doctor Sidorov!?

Sidorov rolls his neck so it makes cracking noises:"Oh, right. I watched from the monitors how you told them, doctor Nagel.". Couple of HYDRA agents runs inside the lab, holding their guns ready. Then Sidorov's face goes emotionless:"I don't need a squealer." and shoots Nagel to death. Me and Bucky quickly run to take cover behind the shelves near us, and HYDRA agents starts shooting. Shooting back and peek behind my hide, I see Sidorov starts heading out the room. "He is getting away! Cover me." I yell and run to the exit. Bucky shoots one of the agent's leg, so they collapse on their knees screaming. I run past them and quickly kick them right in their face, they fall down.

The second agent blocks the exit and attacks me with a knife. Quickly jumping on right to dodge their attack, Bucky shoots, the bullet hits on the wall near us, which made me loose my focus for second. The attacker uses this opportunity and gets a small cut on my cheek. Damn it! "(Y/N)!" Bucky runs up to the agent and punch them with the metal arm. I look at Bucky confused. "You almost shot me!" yelling at him. "I thought you go left!" he hisses back. "I came out first! You suppost to follow me and not asume-", our argument did not make any sense. Can't believe just few minutes ago we kissed... But I guess both of us have so many different kinds of emotions going on inside our heads right now, neither of us don't know what to do.

Soon, we ran out of there. Sidorov was nowhere to be found. Other Avengers runs up to us as we come outside the bunker. "You two alright?" Steve quickly asks, then he sees the cut on my cheek. They all look so worried. "Relax, I'm alright. You'd see the other guy..." resuring the Avengers. Peter specially looks worried, feeling some kind quilt he 'had left me alone'. Even I was the one who told him to get the others. Why they always over-react when I'm hurt? "We need to get to Washington." Bucky says. Steve nods, even he doesn't know why, but he won't doubt Bucky's words. "Why?" Natasha asks. "I'll tell you on the way." I start walking, and others follows.

In the Quinjet, we told everyone what happened. How Nagel had made the serum, about Scarface is actually the doctor Sidorov and about the hostages. Leaving out the part we kissed of course... Natasha flies the plane, Wanda talks with Sam, Bucky and Steve. Peter sits alone, still looking little bit upset. "Hey, you're alright?" I sit right next to him. He raises his eyes on me:"I'm so sorry, (Y/N). I- I feel like this is my fault..-". Quickly I put my hand on his. "No! Please don't think that, okay? You did the right thing." giving resuring look. His eyes goes to my cheek. The cut is not deep, but it's long. Noticing his stare:"I've been shot on left shoulder, so this is nothing.". Peter's eyes widens a bit:"What? Like a real bullet, really?!". Small smile comes up to my lips:"Yeah, it sure was painful...". Then I tell him the whole story how I got shot.

Feels like we're stared at, I lift my eyes up for a second. Bucky is staring at us, not listening what others are talking about. My heart pounds faster, remembering the kiss. Why did he kiss me? This is actually second time already. Is it actually true? Does Bucky actually have feelings for me? Cheeks start to go red even thinking about it. There's cunning smile on Bucky's lips. "(Y/N)?" Peter looks confused. Quickly turning my head back to him. "Y-Yeah?!" smiling like an idiot. "Shouldn't you get like... A band aid on, or something?" he points my cheek. Before I could say anything, Bucky walks up to us:"I'll handle it. You go and listen their plan, kiddo." and waves his hand Peter to get up. "Right..." Peter gets up and joins the others.

Bucky then grabs the first aid kit and comes sit next to me. Rolling my eyes:"I can do it by myself, thank you." and reach my hand to take the kit. "Why you always haveto be so stubborn?" he lifts my head up by the chin. Snorting at his comment:"Says the guy who jumped out of the plane without parach..-", stinging pain comes on my cheek as he puts the cleanser. "Fine..." letting him do it then. His blue eyes scans the cut so carefully. My eyes wonders around his face. From his forehead, to his eyes, down to his lips. Light blush raises on my cheeks again. He sees my stare and smirks a bit. My eyes goes quickly away, panicking. "There, all done." he says after putting the band aid on. "Thanks..." my voice sound like a whisper. Then there's silence.

Rest of the Avengers seems to be ignoring us, talking and planning, making calls to Tony. "I -" both of us say at the same time. Then we chuckle a little bit. "You first." Bucky says. "N-no, you..." I gesture with my hands. Bucky sighs deep before opening his mouth, like he's thinking where to start. "Look, I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, once again." he says, not looking at me. Turning my body to face him:"No, no you didn't! You don't need to worry about that...". He turns his head to look at me, like he is waiting me to continue. Getting nervous here, so I clear my throat a bit. "I'm... Okay with it." I give awkward smile. He looks amused, but also little bit hurt:"You're just 'okay' with it?". "Well, you know what I mean..!" hissing back at him. Smirking corner of his mouth:"Actually, I don't know what you mean." he teases. Does he want me to say it out loud!?

Blushing so hard right now:"T-then forget it!" and turn my head away. Bucky frowns:"No, (Y/N). I won't forget it.". Then he grabs my hand in his. I turn back to look at him. He looks straight in my (e/c) eyes. "Would you..." he struggles with his words. Can feel how his grip tightens up around my hand. Then clears his throat a bit:"Would you like to go out sometime?". Huh!? My eyes widens:"Out..? Like on a date?". My mind is blown. He nods. Am I dreaming? Awkward smile raises on my lips:"Did you hit your head or something..?". Bucky rolls his eyes and gently knock one time on my forehead with metal knuckle:"Just answer the question.". Letting out a chuckle, but then I see his face is serious. My heart flutters, and I hold his hand tighter:"Yeah. Why not.". We share this very gentle smile. Wanting to kiss him so badly right now.

Steve's voice breaks our little bubble:"(Y/N), Buck." he calls. We let go of our hands and get up from our seats, head to the others. "Tony was able to track doctor Sidorov. He is heading HYDRA's base in Washington." Steve told us. Tony sure can amaze me with his skills everytime. Steve shows us a map:"The trucks are heading the base.", drawing circle of the location. "They move few minutes behind the other. So we'll stop them here and safe the hostages." he points at road that seems to be somekind quiet alley. "Then we drive one of the trucks into the base and surprise the doctor." Steve says and puts the marker back to its place. Everybody nods to Steve's plan.
