Avengers x Readers

I'll stay... for you (Bucky x Reader)

WARNING: THIS HAS SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

Also, background on the reader real quick. The reader was born in the 1920's (I'm sorry, I'm not looking it up right now, I just want thy reader to read) and is Peggy's sibling. Reader went with Steve and got frozen with him. So, surprise surprise, reader is here.

You were watching them from afar. Steve and Bucky were talking. For once, in what seems like forever, Bucky was smiling. At least it looked like it from your spot. His metal arm was no longer there. All that remained was the shoulder of it with a cover, covering the cut off piece.

You smile sadly, remembering when the war was going on. You and him were best friends. You had his back and he had yours. Same with Steve. You and Steve where the '90 years old buddies.' Now, it was the three of you. Your sister, Peggy, sadly died a few days ago. She would have loved seeing Steve happy to at least have his best friend back.

You snap out of your daze and see Steve walk away from Bucky. He looks down for a moment, his brown hair partially covering his face. His head snaps back up when he hears you walking over. His eyes meeting yours.

"Hey..." He says softly, giving you a small smile.

You return the smile, "Hey... It's been awhile..."

"Try 70 years. You call that awhile?"

"I'm trying to lighten the mood and you're not helping." You laugh a bit, earning a bigger smile from him.

"I just..." You look behind you to the cradle where he plans to freeze himself again. "Are you sure?"

He nods. "Positive. I don't want to risk hurting anyone... Or you."

You slowly nod and look back at him, tears in your eyes. He holds your face with his one hand and wipes away the tears that fall.

"Doll... Please don't cry. I'll be fine. We'll see each other soon."

You nod again. You two both stay quiet, holding each others hands. When you decide it was time to leave, you kiss what is left of his metal arm and whisper in his ear. Then you pull away and leave.

Before you know it, it's time for Bucky to be frozen. You and Steve stood next to each other looking at him. He looks at both of you, his eyes lingering on you a bit longer. The cradle's door open, making Bucky's eyes quickly look back and watch them.

He hesitates a bit, but steps to it. He has one foot in the cradle when he looks back at you and Steve. Your eye sight was a bit blurry, but you knew he was looking at you two. Before you can register it, Bucky pulls you into a hug. That's when you hear the cradle door close. You cling to Bucky, sobbing into his chest. Steve smiles at both of you, and walks out giving you two some privacy.

Bucky holds your face with his one hand and kisses you deeply. The last time he kissed you was the day he supposedly died. Quickly you return the kiss, arms wrapping around his neck. When he pulls away, he whispers in your ear.

"I love you too. I'll stay... for you." He answers your words from earlier.

"I love you... Please stay with me."

(I know it's short and all, but to me it's really cute.)
