Lost & Found

Parts 43 & 44

*Later on the plane ride home, there's an awkward silence between you and Bucky. Neither one of you knows what to say to the other.*
Par: So, are you and him...together?
Y/N: No. Why would you ask that?
Par: I was just asking. Because of what happened this morning.
Y/N: Nothing happened.
Par: It didn't look like nothing.
Y/N: Well it was. Nothing. Now leave it alone.
*Peter puts his headphones back on and turns away.*
Bar: Now that he's plugged back in, can we talk?
Y/N: About what?
Bar: You know what.
Y/N: There's nothing to talk about. It was just a kiss.
Bar: Right. Just a kiss.
Y/N: Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?
Bar: No. I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page.'
Y/N: I believe we are.
Bar: Good.
Y/N: Good.
*You go back to reading your book but can't stop thinking about that morning and how it felt. What you don't know is he's thinking the same thing.*
*Hours later*
SR: Hey there. Welcome back.
Y/N: Thanks.
NR: Glad to see you came back.
Y/N: Someone convinced me to stop running and face my fears.
NR; Is that all he did?
Y/N: What's that supposed to mean?
NR: Come on. When he realized you left, he panicked.
Y/N: I don't know why. It's not like we're together.
NR: You may not see it, but I can sense something there.
Y/N: You mean like how I can sense something between you and Steve?
NR: What are you talking about?
Y/N: You may be a Russian spy, but you suck at hiding stuff like this.

*Meanwhile with Steve and Bucky*
SR: 4 days? It took you 4 days? Bucky Barnes has lost his touch.
Bar: What's that supposed to mean?
SR: The Bucky I know could get a girl in one night.
Bar: Times are different.
SR: No, you are. Did anything happen over there?
Bar: No. Boring as hell.
SR: You're lying.
Bar: Why would I lie?
SR: Fine. Keep your secrets. The truth will come out.
Bar: You should talk.
SR: What's that supposed to mean?
Bar: You think we don't all see it? You and Romanoff?
SR: You're crazy.
Bar: If you say so.
*That afternoon, you ask to meet with everyone. You stand with Bucky by your side while telling them almost everything.*
SR: So he's here? In New York?
Y/N: Unless he followed me to Chicago.
NR: When did you see him last?
Y/N: I thought I saw him that night we were at that club. Turns out I was right.
TS: Since he just got out, he's violating his parole.
SR: How long ago?
Y/N: About a week ago.
WM: I can't imagine going through that.
Y/N: There's more but...
Bar: I think that's enough for now.
TS: Peter? You ok over there? You're awfully quiet.
Par: Yeah. I'm fine.
*He storms out and you follow.*
Y/N: Shit. Peter, wait!
