Second Chance

🩵𝙿𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝟷𝟹🩵

Bucky walks into the tower with a small smile on his face that might not have been recognizable on anyone else but it is on him especially because he usually has a blank stone expression on at all times but now he can't help but have a smile on his face thinking about...

"Manchurian Candidate"

Bucky's smile immediately goes back to the stone look when he hears the man who hates him and the man who happens to be the father of the girl he's falling for calling for him.

Tony walks over to him while looking at papers with his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks up at Bucky with a forced smile.

"I need you to go with Capsicle to check out a possible location for a secret base" Tony blinks at the stone faced super soldier waiting for an answer.

"Yeah got it" Bucky nods walking away to look for Steve.

Tony scoffs rolling his eyes before walking down the hall towards his lab to work on his latest tech project. While on the way to the lab he sees Natasha and Wanda talking in hushed voices.
When they notice him they immediately stop talking.

Natasha turns to Tony with raised eyebrows.

"Need something Stark?" Natasha crosses her arms looking at Tony.

"No" Tony scoffs continuing to walk to his lab.

Later in the day when the sun begins to set Y/n gets back to the tower after a long day at the shop and lets out a long sigh feeling happy about being able to lay down on the couch.

"Hey how was your opening?" Natasha asks her smiling.

"It was great, everyone was so nice and I sold so many books" Y/n smiled remembering her great first day.

"That's great, sorry for missing the opening but Tony needed me to check out something" Natasha apologized feeling bad for missing her best friend's dream happen.

"It's okay Nat don't worry you can come anytime" Y/n assures smiling at her.

"So Wanda told me that a cute guy hit on you today" Natasha smirks at the flustered expression on Y/n's face.

The two didn't even notice the rest of the team walk into the living room.

"Come on Y/n it's just a cute guy" Natasha nudges her smirking.

"Nat he just wanted help" Y/n brushes her off nervously.

"Really? Because Wanda told me that he called you sweet and he said he'd definitely come back for your books and your company" Natasha continues to tease the red faced girl.

"What's happening?" Sam looks between the two smirking.

"Y/n already has an admirer" Natasha smirks at him.

"Hey! Look at you" Sam wraps his arm around the embarrassed girls shoulder.

Bucky stands with Steve watching what's happening with a tight jaw clenching his hands feeling anger towards this random guy who came out of nowhere making you blush. He walks out of the room without another word. Steve watches Bucky go with a knowing frown.

Y/n looks at where Bucky walked off to and excuses herself to ask him what's wrong.
She walks towards his bedroom door knocking.

"Steve not now"

"It's me" she calls to him hoping that he'll open the door.

After a few moments the door opens revealing a scowling Bucky looking down at her with a stone cold face.

"Are you okay?" she asks despite feeling nervous about his cold face.

His expression softens seeing her concerned face looking up at him.

He opens the door letting her in. She walks in taking a seat on the end of his bed looking down at her hands.

The room is covered in a thick silence that hangs between the two of them while Bucky looks at the floor and Y/n looks down at her hands.

"I'm not interested in him just so you know, not that it matters because you're my friend, I just wanted to let you know" she rambles nervously before forcing herself to stop talking before she said something embarrassing.

"Doll" Bucky whispers walking closer to her until he's standing in front of her.

He sits down beside her on the bed taking a deep breath.

"I don't think we're friends" he whispers looking at the floor.

"Oh" she whispers before standing up abruptly.

"That's fine, bye Bucky" she goes to leave but is stopped by a larger hand grabbing her wrist.

"That's not what I.." he trails off not knowing how to tell her how he's feeling after all these years of being alone and not having to worry about messing up with a girl he likes.

"No it's okay, really Bucky we don't have to be friends" she starts to ramble feeling a mixture of emotions. Hurt that he doesn't want to be her friend and sad that if she can't even be his friend then there's no hope for anything more.

Before she can continue to ramble Bucky grabs her cheeks crushing his lips onto hers. Her eyes widen not registering what's happening until it hits her.

He likes me!

She closes her eyes leaning into the kiss wrapping her arms around his shoulders playing with the hair on the nape of his neck.

They pull away and lean their foreheads against one another breathing heavily.
Bucky lifts his head kissing her forehead softly.

"Doll I like you" he whispers against her forehead.

"I like you too" she whispers back.
