BUCKY'S NERVES WERE evident. He could barely keep his eyes off the pavement, he hadn't said a word the whole walk. And he was so lost in his thoughts, he had almost walked into oncoming traffic. Diana almost had a heart attack at that point. After that, she had become his seeing eye girlfriend, making sure he didn't walk into people and scare any more taxi drivers. It was clear his mind was still trying to figure out what he wanted to say.
"Are you sure you don't want me with you?" Diana asked, holding onto his hand a little tighter as they approached Yori's building, "I can tell you're freaking out, at least let me walk you to his door."
Bucky took a shaky breath when they stood at the bottom of the stairs that led up to the front door.
"Okay, but talking to him is something I have to do alone," Bucky finally looked at her for the first time since they left her apartment.
"I get that, I also want you to know that I'm gonna be here to support you through everything, you got this," Diana reached up and held his face in her hand. She got on her toes and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, "come on."
The two had walked together all the way up to Yori's floor, but from observing Bucky, Diana could tell he was ready when the two metal doors opened.
"You're ready," she spoke softly, Bucky looked down at Diana, a smile weakly making its way on her face, "you got this, I'll see you."
A quick hug was all they got before Bucky quickly had to get out of the elevator before it closed. Diana made her way down to the first floor when're she would wait in the small lobby area that the building had. There was a small seating area and magazines everywhere. Diana picked the first interesting one she could find and took a seat and waited. A particularly interesting article had her unaware of the man standing adjacent to her from the coffee table in front of her.
That quickly changed when her ears perked at the sound of his leg hitting the table. Diana peered over the magazine to see him, eyes wide as if she had grown three heads and was reciting Latin.
"You're Diana Renfrey," he stumbled out, realizing that she noticed his staring.
"That I am," she responded politely before looking back down at the article, skimming to pick up where she left off.
"So that was the Winter Soldier that I saw with Yuri a while ago," He muttered. Diana lowered the magazine again, assessing him, her eyes narrowing slightly as she tried to remember if Bucky ever described him before, "oh, yeah, my name is Unique."
