Sequel to Save me from myself.
Bucky and Lilly finally get together after the blip. Still, there are many things they need to go through before they go on with their wedding plans. The Flag Smashers is one of them, but the other is Bucky's insistent...
Although Lilly would rather lose a limb than withhold information from him, the desire to protect Bucky is more important than anything else. Seeing him happy and free is what she wants most in life.
And Bucky can only feel the same thing. Her happiness is his. Nothing will stop him from seeing her smile.
But this need to protect each other can be more of a hindrance than a help to their relationship.
They have a bright future ahead of them.... the only problem is that they haven't talked about what happened after the blip or how they will ensure their relationship will work.

When the car approached, they stopped walking along the bridge. Zemo reminded everyone that their lives depended on them playing their roles. And that was precisely the part Lilly hated the most.
Lacing her fingers on Bucky's, she pulled him closer to be face to face. "Bucky, please..." She looked over his shoulder at the city in the distance, avoiding his eyes and praying he hadn't heard the tiny sob that escaped her mouth.
"Look at me."
Afraid her body would betray her again, she decided to shake her head instead. Her fingers tightening around his.
One step closer, and he was enveloping her with his scent, strength, and presence. "At me, Love." He softly rubbed his nose against her cold cheek. "Look at me, please...." His lips slowly trailing her skin.
"Bucky." She lifted her hands and cupped his face resting her forehead against his. Her eyes closed, hiding the tears away. "Just come back."
"I promise."
"No. No promises. Just come back."
"I always do, don't I?"
"Yes." She chuckled on his lips.
"It's a promise."
"No promises, please."
"Okay."
"Thank you."
"I lo-." He tried to say after kissing her forehead.
"I know."
"You do."
"I do. Always do."
"Be safe."
"You too." Lilly gave him a soft kiss before letting him go.
She watched Bucky get into the car and go somewhere she couldn't go with him. Her heart broke into a million pieces and scattered in the cold night wind, trying to reach the car that was far away. Too far for her to go back on her decision.
Her trembling hands took the cell phone from her pocket, and with a sigh, she dialed. Ayo answered the call on the first ring.
