8 months later

"Y/N, can you get me a coffee?" Rosie asked as he and the guys settled down after another mission.

"Of course, one second" You called out, you got the coffee they called for and the refreshments and then you went to your barrack.

To get some peace.

Even 8 months later, you still hoped to see one particular person walk in after a mission.

He didn't, but you didn't stop hoping.

Until now. Your heart was broken, you had loved Bucky. You never realized it because of his bad habits. But even so, he had put many efforts in caring for you.

You accepted your feelings for the man, all too late. So, you felt like you had to get out of Thorpe Abbotts, you needed to escape the memories of him.

It all reminded you of him.

So you had handed in your resignation, your help had been appreciated in the years of the war, but now you needed a change of scenery.

To mend your heart.

The crews and staff would be informed this evening. You had a week left till you left Thorpe Abbotts for good.

"She's leaving. Cros heard it, Y/N is leaving" Curt told everyone. "She's heartbroken, I can't blame her" Rosie understood.

"Yeah, but what about us? We need her" Curt said. "Every time we return, she's there with a smile and she makes us forget" Curt insisted.

"I know, but every time we return, she's reminded of the one who didn't" Rosie reminded Curt. Everyone at the table fell quiet.

A sour mood filled the rest of the evening.

Friday came fast, the end of the week. Y/N was supposed to leave in merely a few hours.

Y/N said her goodbyes and talked to her friends and loved ones before leaving them to fend on their own.

Kenny hugged the woman, hoping to express his gratefulness to her. "You'll do good, Kenny" Y/N told him and put her hand on his cheek.

"You too, Y/N. Thank you for everything" Kenny said. "Save some love for the rest of us" Curt shouted and Y/N laughed and were pulled into hugs by her friends.

"Are you sure that you need to go?" Rosie asked. Cros, Rosie, Kenny, Curt, Quinn, baby face and Murphy stood around you.

"I can't stay anymore" you said, a lump formed in your throat and you looked down. Your mood dying faster than wind.

Rosie rubbed your back and you gave them a small smile before retreating back to the kitchen.

When you were occupied in the kitchen, soldiers parted ways for an unknown vehicle entering the base.

"It's them!" Voices shouted. Rosie and Curt watched as Buck, Crank and Bucky and many more emerged from the vehicle.

Bucky searched the crowd looking for a pair of eyes, ones he had dreamed of for the last 8 months.

"Where is she?" Bucky asked Curt, "Bucky, she's uh—" Curt trailed off and looked at Buck who had also stopped greeting people to know.

"What?" Bucky asked with worry. "She's leaving, today. Now" Rosie finished.

"What?" Bucky scoffed, he ran without a second thought. He knew he was supposed to be interrogated, but he had to see you first.

Bucky ran through the barracks, entering the one you stayed in. It was indeed empty.

Next he ran to the kitchen. "Y/N!?" Bucky's voice echoed in the kitchen.

"Hey there, Bucky! It's good to see you" the chef called out all of your colleagues smiled and waved at him.

"Where is Y/N?" Bucky asked. "She's saying her goodbyes, she's about to leave. She's with Lemmons" Bucky groaned but nevertheless sprinted off.

"Bucky, interrogation!" Cros shouted. "Later"
Bucky shouted and ran towards the base of the mechanics.

There you were, standing with your bags packed. "Y/N Y/L/N! Will you marry me?" Bucky called out as he stood still, watching you.

He watched the color drain from your face in realization. "Bucky?" Hearing you call out his name, made his heart flutter.

"In the flesh, darling" Bucky called out. You didn't have to think twice, you ran up to him and jumped into his arms as he extended them.

He held you tightly and laughed when you kissed his cheek repeatedly.

"So?" Bucky asked once he put you down into your feet. "Yes, John Egan. I will marry you, you idiot" You retorted with an eye roll.

Bucky chuckled and you yanked his head down to yours, Bucky closed the distance between your lips and you had been waiting for that kiss for months.

"That's all it took? For him to disappear for a few months and now they're finally getting married?" Curt said, he, Bucky and Rosie had found the two.

All of their friends watching the two with happiness for them.
