Bucky Barnes Imagines Vol. 1 (BB X Reader)

Off Limits Pt. 4

Steve walked into the apartment the morning after his date with Peggy and almost tripped on a pile of fabric and shoes that was strewn next to the door. He leaned down and picked Bucky's jacket up off the floor and chuckled, thinking he had brought another random woman home. Steve bent down and picked the woman's shirt up off the floor. He paused mid-air as he went to toss the shirt on the couch. Holding the blouse out in front of him, his jaw clenched. It was your favorite shirt. The one he had bought you for Christmas.

Steve marched to your room and swung the door open. Your bed was untouched, so he whipped around to the door across from yours and shoved it open. His mouth fell open in shock as he saw you cuddled in Bucky's arms, completely naked. Purple bruises lined each side of your neck and your hair was a mess. Steve saw red.

"What the fuck, Bucky!" Steve roared and stepped towards the bed.

Your eyes popped open in surprise and you instinctively clutched the sheet up to your neck. Bucky sat up in the bed, slightly terrified that Steve would launch himself across the room and kill him then and there. You sat up next to Bucky and placed your free hand on his leg trying to comfort him.

"Steve, get out!" You yelled.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You knew my sister was off limits!" Steve ignored you, directing all his anger at Bucky.

"I'm sorry, Steve. Just let me explain." Bucky pleaded.

"No! How many times have I told you to leave her alone? I don't want her getting hurt, Bucky."

"I'm not going to hurt her." Bucky started, but Steve cut him off.

"Yes, you will! You never stay with the same woman for long. When you get tired of her, you're going to toss her to the side and break her heart. I won't be able to forgive you for hurting Y/n."

"Stop! Quit talking about me like I'm not even here. Steve, get out so we can get dressed and then we can talk about this." He started to protest, but you yelled again. "Out!"

Steve dropped your shirt on the floor with a huff. He walked out of the room fuming and slamming the door behind him. You crawled out of the bed and put on your panties and bra, then turned to face Bucky. He was sitting on the edge of the bed in only his underwear with his head cradled in his hands. You walked over to him and knelt on the floor.

"Baby, listen to me. He's just mad right now, but he'll get over it. Once he sees how much we care about each other, he'll be fine."

You pulled Bucky's hands from his face and forced him to look at you. He nodded sadly and stood, pulling you up with him. He brought you against his chest and dropped his head to your shoulder, needing to feel your warmth. Steve pounded on the door and you cursed. Your brother was getting on your last damn nerve and you were over it. You walked to the door in just your underwear and yanked it open. Steve's eyes widened and he looked away from you.

"Cover yourself up, Y/n."

"That's what I was trying to do, but you're being an impatient asshole! Besides, it's not like he hasn't seen it all anyway."

Steve glared at Bucky and tried to push past you.

"Steve, stop. Please!"

You managed to push him into the hall and shut the door behind you. You walked to your room and grabbed a t-shirt and sweats from your dresser as Steve followed behind you.

"How could you sleep with him, Y/n? You know what he's like."

"You know nothing, Steve. This isn't what you think." Bucky said.

Bucky appeared in your doorway and Steve spun towards him.

"I won't let you use her as a quick fuck like you do all the other women you bring home. I have no problems with how you live your life, but leave my sister out of it."

Steve rested his hands on his hips and stood tall against his friend. Bucky was breathing heavily. Brother or not, Steve wasn't going to talk about you that way.

"She's not just a quick fuck, Steve! I'm in love with her and so help me God, if you ever call her a quick fuck again, I won't hesitate to beat the shit out of you!"

You and Steve looked at Bucky shocked, both at his outrage and his confession. Bucky's face heated, realizing that he let slip the one thing he had been holding back from saying to you.

"You love me?"

"You love her?"

Steve and you asked at the same time.

Bucky stammered before running his hand down his face and sighing heavily.

"Yes, I love you, doll." His voice dropped to barely a whisper as if he was afraid you'd laugh at him.

"I love you, too."

"You what?" Steve turned back to face you. He was getting dizzy from all the back and forth.

He walked over to your bed and fell down onto it, dropping his head into his hands.

"Goddamnit, Dad would kill me if he were still alive." Steve grumbled.

"Why didn't you just tell me that night in the kitchen?" You asked Bucky.

"I was afraid to scare you off. And I was gonna plan something special and then tell you." Bucky shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't need anything special, Buck."

"But you deserve it, doll. You're not just my best friend's little sister. You're the person I go to when I need comfort. I trust you more than I trust myself. You're the only woman I've ever seen myself building a life with. You are my beginning and my end, Y/n. I love you so damn much." Bucky chuckled. "It feels good to finally admit all that out loud."

Steve sat on the bed eyeing you and Bucky. He took note of the look in Bucky's eyes and how he was gazing at you as if you were the only woman in the world.

"Steve, I understand that you're upset with me. I know how this looks because I've never had a steady relationship, but I swear that I would never intentionally hurt Y/n that way. I've only ever wanted her to be happy and loved. Those other women were just stand-ins for her. They didn't last because they weren't Y/n. You may hate me, but I won't stop seeing her just because you don't like it. I plan on being by her side as long as she'll have me."

Bucky pulled you over to his side and wrapped his arm around your shoulders.

"He makes me happy, Steve. Please don't throw away your friendship for something we couldn't control."

Steve lets out a bark of laughter and shakes his head as he stands.

"Well, how the hell am I supposed to object after all that? Word of warning though, Buck. You hurt her and you're dead."

"If I hurt her, I'll hand you the gun, pal." Bucky said.

Relief flooded him because not only did he have his girl, he still had his best friend.

"One other thing." Steve said. "If you're gonna have sex, please don't do it while I'm here. I really don't want to hear my sister having sex with my best friend." Steve scrunched his nose at the thought.

"In that case, think you could leave then, cause your little sister wants to show her boyfriend just how much she loves him." You said as you turned to kiss Bucky.

"Eww, gross! Fine, I'll be back in an hour." Steve walked out of your room and to the front door.

"Make it two!" Bucky yelled, then picked you up and threw you on the bed.

You giggled and Bucky would swear that it sounded like a choir of angels singing. He shut your door and then jumped on top of you on the bed. He kissed the tip of your nose and smiled down at you.

"I love you, Y/n."

"Love you, too Bucky."
