The Forgotten One - Winter Soldier X Reader

Chapter 6 - The Mall

The mall was packed and for that you were a little bit glad. That meant it would be harder for Hydra but that also meant you would have to be extra cautious about how you proceeded with your plan to use the Apple store to locate Steve. You look up to see that his face was visible for everyone to see and bite your lip as you reach into your bag and grabbing your Mets cap quickly put it on his head. "What was that for?" He asks as he re-situates the hat.

"There are cameras all over the place and if there is one thing I know they are probably looking for you more than they are me." He nods as he looks ahead to where we were headed. You smile as you grab his hand and drag him through the crowd and into the store. You quickly find a macbook and after making sure it is connected to the internet you quickly hack the mainframe and using the skills you learned from Hydra. It took you quicker than you thought to locate your companion's friend.

"How long until Hydra realizes what we're doing?"

"They already do but if we're lucky we can get out of here before they find us."

His face hardens as he starts to look around him paranoid. You sigh as you say, "If you look like that then they're gonna notice us ever faster."

"How much longer?"

"One, two, and done. He's in his apartment believe it or not." You quickly factory reset the computer so they couldn't track you through it then you turn to him and say, "Let's go." He takes your hand in his and quickly pulls you from the store. You look around to see Hydra agents closing in on the store.

Looking around you find an escalator and pulling him toward it let out a sigh. As it started to descend you glanced down to see a couple of Hydra agents on the rising escalator looking around and panicking say, "Kiss me!"

He stared at you for a moment before he says, "What?"

"Public displays of affection make people uncomfortable." He tilts his head in confusion but you just roll your eyes as you reach up and placing your hand on the back of his neck pull his lips to yours.

You expected him to push you away but what you weren't expecting was his arms to wrap around you and hold you tightly to his body. You were so distracted that you weren't even worried about the Hydra agents anymore. You wanted more of this, more of Bucky's sweet kisses. The end of the escalator came faster than you wanted as you felt someone tap your shoulder and forewarn you. As you pull away from him you kept your eyes averted.

You didn't want to see a lusty look in his eyes; you wouldn't be able to keep your hands off him if you did. Glancing around you see a safe exit and taking his hand in yours make a beeline for it. Once the two of you were safe back inside the Camaro you let out a sigh and stare out your window. You couldn't look at him at the moment, the look would still be in his eyes and the last thing you wanted was to become emotionally attached to Bucky cause eventually just like everyone else you cared about, he would leave. No this was better you quickly told him the address and then laid your head on the window sill and hoped he wouldn't bring it up.

Bucky's POV

He stared at your hands as they moved magically over the keypad of the small computer. You really were a mystery to him. It took you no time at all to find Steve. When you said you were done he grabbed your hand and pulled you out of the store where he looked around to see Hydra agents closing in on the two of you. His mind started to revert to assassin mode when she took his hand and pulled him toward an escalator.

As the two of you descended the escalator he kept his eyes moving to make sure there were no Hydra agents when she turns to him her (E/C) eyes full of panic says, "Kiss me!"

He stares at her for a moment before he says, "What?"

"Public displays of affection make people uncomfortable." He tilts his head in confusion but she just rolls her eyes as she reaches up and placing her hand on the back of his neck pulls his lips to hers.

At first he was completely taken aback, he didn't know how to react. Then his body took control making his arms wrap tightly around her deepening their kiss. For some reason kissing her felt so familiar and right, had he done it before? He definitely wanted to do it more. When she pulled away he tried to meet her eyes but she quickly looked away. Why had she looked away? Had he done something he shouldn't have? He watches as she glances around before taking his hand and making a beeline for the exit.

Once the two of them were safe back inside the Camaro he glanced over at her to see her starting out of her window. She quickly told him the address and then laid her head on the window sill. He let out a heavy sigh as he quickly drives off. He wanted to ask her why she wouldn't look at him or explain why it felt familiar but the mood that hovered in the air made him drop it. The whole way to Steve's apartment was quiet and a little tense. How could one little kiss cause this kind of reaction? He knew he'd been out of the game for a while but it had seemed like she enjoyed herself so why was she acting like she was? He made a mental note to ask her later.
