A/N: The MC in this story is plus sized and the plot will revolve around her budding relationship with Bucky and her struggle to be confident in his feelings for her. Please skip if this subject is triggering for you.

You walked into the gym and tugged on the bottom of your shirt, making sure it was fully covering your stomach as you walked into the gym. The woman sitting at the desk was a gorgeous redhead with a body you could only ever dream about having. You stood, waiting for her to notice you. This wasn't your scene and you felt completely out of your element, but you promised yourself that you were going to make your health a priority. The woman finally looked up at you and gave you a bright smile.

"Hey, hon. What can I do for you?"

"Um, I want to sign up for a membership." You replied anxiously.

Being in the gym was making your skin crawl and made your anxiety shoot through the fucking roof. You weren't fit like the other women walking around in their tight shorts and sports bras. You carried a little extra weight around your middle which made you feel uncomfortable and out of place. It felt like everyone was staring at you, wondering what you were doing there.

"Okay, I can get you set up. Just fill this form out for me and I'll enter everything in so you can get going. I'm Natasha, or Nat. What's your name, hon?"

This felt like a good sign. Nat wasn't looking at you with judgment or disdain. Maybe the rest of the people at the gym would be the same way. It would be a first considering the patrons at every other gym you had ever been a member of, looked at you as if you didn't belong when in reality you needed to be there more than they did.

"It's Y/n."

"It's nice to meet you, Y/n. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just chill here if you finish before I get back."

You nodded at her then propped your elbow on the desk and leaned your head on your hand as you began filling out the form Nat gave you. Halfway through the first page, a man with long, dark brown hair and the most beautiful blue eyes you had ever seen, approached the desk. You peaked at him from behind the curtain of hair that had fallen down the side of your face.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but do you know where Nat disappeared to?" He asked, looking over at you.

"I'm sorry, no. She said she'd be back in a moment though." You answered softly.

His t-shirt clung to his muscular chest and toned abs. Letting your eyes roam lower, you noticed how his joggers hugged the bulging muscles of his thighs. Lucky bastard probably didn't have an ounce of fat on him. You went back to filling out the form Nat had given you, ignoring the living Greek statue standing a mere foot from you.

You signed and dated the form and stood waiting for Nat to come back and finish your registration. Trying to ignore the man next to you was hard. You felt his eyes drift to you every so often and you couldn't help the unease that settled over you. You had been the chubby girl your whole life, so you were used to people saying shitty things about you...but you also had a temper that you were quickly losing your grip on.

You know the saying, "think before you speak"? Yeah, you had a tendency to do the complete opposite and that's exactly what you did. Bucky's eyes looked over you once more and you turned to face him, eyes boring holes into him.

"I'm sorry, is there a reason you keep staring or do you enjoy making women feel uncomfortable?"

His lips opened and closed several times before clamping completely shut.

"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." He stammered.

"Look, I'm used to people judging me for my body being just on the other side of average, but at least have the decency to not do it right in front of my face."
