Not Gonna Leave ~ Bucky Barnes x Reader

Chapter 2

The following three days were without any more visits from the mystery guy. You were a bit disappointed but it was alright, you didn't really expect him to come back but you still hoped.

On the fourth day it was the day that the Cafe was closed. You always used it to clean thoroughly and prepare everything, such as dough for different sweets or even bake the sweets already.

You were just swiping the floor when you saw a tall figure standing outside in front of the door. The rain was pouring down again and you knew exactly who it was.

Putting away your utensils you made your way over to the door to let him in. But as you opened the door he just stood rooted to the spot and you gave him a big smile hoping he would come in without any further invitation.

Of course he didn't.

"Come in sweetie." you invited him but he doesn't budge.

"But it's supposed to be closed today." he says silently, training his gorgeous eyes at the ground.

"And I want you to keep me company and get out of the rain handsome." you try to encourage him so he would step inside, but he doesn't.

Great.

Deciding that it can't go on like this you step around him and place the palm of your hands on his back. As soon as your hands connect to his body he tenses up and you feel his muscles twitching beneath your fingers.

You push him gently inside and rub his back to show him you're no threat to him.

"It's alright sweetie. I'm not gonna hurt you or anything. Go sit down where ever you want. I'm gonna go grab you something." you give him a smile and a pat on the back.

You grab a towel, something to eat for him and a hot black coffee.

When you come back he's sitting in a booth near the door but not much visible to the public.

Surprise he did what you told him to.

You hand him the towel and place the rest in front of him before going back to your previous work.

The next few hours you finished the tasks of your free day. Throughout this time you could feel his gaze on you all the time.

It felt a bit strange at first, but soon it felt more like protection, because every time you bumped into something, almost fell or let something fall, he flinched and looked like he was ready to come to rescue at any time.

Thank you clumsiness.

When you're finished you go and sit down with him. Eyeing him you let about a heavy sigh.

"Soo my name is Y/N, I don't remember if I told you already so yeah. What's your name sweetie?" you break the silence.

"James, but Bucky is alright." he answers in a whisper.

"He can talk." you give him a toothy smile with a laugh.

In response he lets out a deep chuckle, surprising himself and you.

"So do you prefer James or Bucky?" you ask him but he only shrugs in response.

"Okey fine by me, I'll just switch whenever I want. You had the chance to decide now you have to accept it." you joke and he gives you a small smile.
You can't see it properly because his hair is falling in front of his face, but you're still happy to see it.

"You should smile more often. It suits you." you compliment him and eventually you can see his cheeks turn lightly pink.

You and Bucky go on talking for a while, it's only smalltalk and his answers are short, but you have a conversation unlike the first time.

It's starting to get late and you're already tired so you rest your head on the table and close your eyes just for a moment.

"Doll. Wake up." a gentle voice causes you to stir awake. When you blink a few times to adjust your eyesight you're met by gorgeous steel blue eyes that have a hint of worry beneath them.

You shoot up and apologize for falling asleep, but he tells you it's alright and tells you that it's pretty late after all and that he should probably go.

You agree and pack him something to eat before waving him goodbye and making sure he knows he's welcome whenever he wants to stop by.

Thankfully your apartment was directly above the cafe so you were able to just go upstairs.

Upstairs you fall face first into bed and peaceful sleep consumes you immediately.
