Bucky Barnes One Shots and Imagines - Part 3

Christmas Surprise

A/N-Surprise Surprise! I managed to come up with another Christmas story. I promise it's the last festive one I have because I have THINGS TO DO! Enjoy!

"Barnes, Wilson, you're up for the next mission" Tony barked at the group. 

Sam smiled and looked over the file while Bucky scowled at it. 

"Be in the hangar tomorrow morning. Plane leaves at 8am" Tony pointed at the paperwork then left. 

Bucky grumbled and tossed his folder on the table and rubbed his eyes with his fingers. 

"Who the hell schedules a mission right before Christmas?" groaned Bucky. 

"Looks like it'll be over Christmas too" Sam added. 

Bucky looked at the dates again and he started to panic. 

Crap.

"Y/n isn't going to like this. So close to Christmas and all" Sam patted Bucky on the arm. 

Steve stayed behind and listened in. 

"Yeah Buck. It's your first Christmas together" 

"I know that" he groaned and thumped his head on the table. 

"She's pretty understanding though" Sam got up from the table. 

"See you tomorrow Bucky" Sam walked out of the conference room leaving Bucky and Steve. 

"Want me to keep her company, Buck?" Steve asked. 

"I'll bring her here as always. Just keep an eye on her Steve if you can?" Bucky asked his friend. 

"Of course," Steve smiled. 

"Go on and call her" he nodded at Bucky's phone. 

"I will" The two got up from the meeting and left the room. 

Bucky wasn't looking forward to this call.

Your phone startled you, so you looked at the screen and smiled when you saw who it was. 

"Hey Bucky!" you smiled while still typing away on your computer. 

"So, I have a mission I'm going on" Bucky blurted out. 

You stopped typing and listened. 

"Oh really?" 

"I leave tomorrow" 

"How long?" you asked looking at your calendar. 

"Two weeks" 

You narrowed your eyes and started counting. You froze when you got to day 11 and it was Christmas Eve. 

"Oh" you slumped down in your chair. 

You had been dating Bucky for almost a year and this was the first Christmas you were going to spend together. You decorated and went all out for the super soldier, wanting to make his first Christmas amazing, not only for him, but for you as well. 

"So you'll miss Christmas then?" your voice cracked a little. 

Bucky felt like he got punched in the gut. 

"Looks that way. But it ends a few days after, so we have that, and New Years" Bucky tried cheering you up. 

You knew by being with Bucky his schedule was all over the place. He would sometimes leave at weird times, be gone for an extended period, return bruised and cut up, and sometimes, he would be around for a month or so without anything at all. It was a little hard to get used to, but you managed.
