Bucky Barnes X Y/n Oneshots.

Never stopped loving you.

Title: Never stopped loving you.

Summary: Lovers to Strangers to Lovers Again.

You and Bucky had been inseparable once. After his recovery with the help of the Avengers, the two of you found solace in each other's company. What began as deep friendship turned into a love that helped heal the broken pieces of his past. But one mission changed everything.

Months ago, Bucky had left without explanation. He told you it was safer that way, that the Winter Soldier's enemies would come after you. It was a sudden, heartbreaking goodbye, leaving you confused and hurt. The last thing he said was, "You'll be better off without me."

The unexpected sudden reunion.

It's been a year. A year without Bucky. You've tried to move on, but the hollow space he left never seemed to fill. Your life is quieter now, safer, as he promised. But your heart can't forget.

You're walking home one night when a figure steps out of the shadows. You freeze, your pulse quickening as memories flood back. You recognize him instantly.

"Bucky?" His name barely leaves your lips before you realize he's standing in front of you.

His face is unreadable, the blue of his eyes reflecting all the turmoil inside him. "Y/n... I'm sorry," he says, his voice low, filled with regret.

Scene 2: S

You can hardly believe he's here, standing in front of you like nothing has changed, but everything has changed. You both stare at each other for a long, tense moment. He looks older, worn down by whatever he's been through. But you don't let your walls down so easily this time.

"I needed you, Bucky. You said you left to protect me, but I was left alone wondering why." Your voice cracks, the pain and anger you've held in spilling out.

He tries to explain. "I didn't want to hurt you. I thought it was the only way to keep you safe."

"We were supposed to be a team," you respond, your heart pounding in your chest. "You didn't get to make that choice for me."

Scene 3: Lovers Again

As the conversation continues, it's clear that despite the anger, the connection you once shared isn't gone. You try to keep your distance emotionally, but being near him again makes it impossible to deny your feelings.

One night, after another heated argument, you find yourselves sitting in silence. The tension between you crackles like electricity.

Bucky looks at you with the same intensity as the night you first kissed. "I never stopped loving you, Y/n," he whispers, his voice filled with emotion. "I thought I was doing the right thing, but I was wrong. Every day without you felt like torture."

Tears blur your vision. You've spent so long trying to push him away, but the truth is you never stopped loving him either.

"You can't just come back into my life and expect everything to be the same," you say, but your resolve weakens with each passing second.

"I know," he says, taking your hand gently. "But I'm not going anywhere this time. If you'll have me."

You hesitate, but only for a moment, before pulling him into a kiss. This time, you're not strangers-you're two people who have found each other again, ready to face whatever comes next, together.
