This is based off prompt 25) "Bucky, no time to explain, I need you to be my boyfriend."
^^Look at his face *swoons* This gif is so mesmerising I have been staring at it for a solid 5 minutes. Maybe if I stare long enough he will appear in my room *staring intensifies*
________________________________________________________________________________
"(y/n) it's obvious that you're in love with snowflake butt over there." Tony claimed, swinging his arm in the general direction of Bucky, it was clear he wasn't going to drop this so you grabbed him by his collar and dragged him out of the room. Nat and Steve glanced over but by now they were used to you two fighting.
"What the actual hell Tony?" you questioned under your breath, his eyes widened and he shrugged his shoulders as if he was innocent.
"It's true, and your reaction proves it. Sooner or later you'll have to confess your feelings to him, or I will." he smoothed his collar down and strutted away from you. You hated how he could read you like an open book.
"Was that a threat Tony? Tony? Tony! Don't you dare walk away from me Stark!" your voice raised until you were practically screaming, but Tony was long gone and you knew it. You ran a hand through your (h/l) (h/c) hair in frustration. Tony wanted a confession. He was going to get a confession.
Your heart was pounding furiously in your chest, aching to be let out of its cage. Every fibre of your being tingled with anticipation as you swung open the training room door to reveal Natasha, Steve and Bucky with white towels thrown on their shoulders and water bottles in their hands. They were all chattering away happily after an intense workout, but you were only interested in talking to one of them. A certain Mr Barnes.
"Bucky could I talk to you for a moment?" you gently tapped on his shoulder to get his attention, he swiveled around and like a dork his towel fell off his left shoulder, which caused him to squeal slightly.
"Sorry (y/n) umm... What do you want to- What do you want to talk about?" his mouth twitched nervously as he picked up his towel off the floor, almost falling over in the process. You giggled at his adorableness. You glanced around at Steve and Natasha who were both staring right at you with grins plastered on their faces. All these emotions you had bottled up inside of you were begging to be released, it was now or never. Inhaling until your lungs were full you managed to spit out:
"Bucky, no time to explain, I need you to be my boyfriend." in shock Bucky managed to spit a good deal of water onto your favourite top, making it stick to your skin. Your eyes didn't leave his but you could tell Steve and Nat had backed off to give you some space, or maybe because they were giggling like mad school girls.
A good deal of time passed before Bucky spoke. You didn't know what to do with yourself, your brain was telling you to leave but your heart was telling you to kiss him. So you decided to compensate and do absolutely nothing for about 20 solid seconds. Congrats.
"(y/n) I like you and all but umm..." Bucky used his metal arm to scratch the back of his neck, looking nervous and clearly not interested in being your boyfriend. It all became too much, all eyes were on you, you could feel your cheeks flushing red with embarrassment. You had ruined the friendship you and Bucky once had and Steve and Nat would spread gossip about how you blatantly asked him and how he rejected you and- and-
You try to smile, but your mouth just twitches nervously. Your legs carry you out of the room and you didn't look back. Maybe you deserved it. Maybe you shouldn't have let Tony get to you. Bucky clearly didn't love you and you were stupid to think he did. He is far too good for you-
"Hay! Watch where you're goi- (y/n)? (Y/n)!" your body collides with Tony's, but instead of stopping you just keep running. The tears were beginning to flow and you didn't want the others to see you this vulnerable, ashamed and pathetic.
You finally reach your apartment door and after entering your security code JARVIS grants you access. As soon as you get in you go to the corner in your bedroom and curl up in a shivering, sobbing ball. Right then you wanted to be swallowed up by the ground and disappear forever. This was the worst day of your life, even worse than that time Steve had asked you what a tampon was.
"(Y/n)? Please- I didn't mean to hurt you."you could barely hear him, but you could tell Bucky was upset, but you still stayed quiet.
"(Y/n) please... Open the door so I can explain." his voice croaked. You sighed, this man was your one weakness. You picked your tired body off the ground and opened your apartment door to reveal an even more disheveled Bucky with a pink tinged face, but even now he looked absolutely stunning. The same couldn't be said about you. You knew you looked awful, your top was still wet, your eyeliner had run and your face was pink and puffy.
"(Y/n) look, I love you. I love you with all my heart and I will never stop loving you because you are fantastic, amazing, kind and caring. But-" he followed you into the room cautiously, keeping his distance.
"-But this, but that! There's always a but! I get it ok, you don't want me as a girlfriend and I completely understand-" fresh tears started to form in the corners of your eyes. He looked lost and broken, it was like looking in a mirror.
"-No! That's not what I mean! I couldn't believe that you asked me to be your boyfriend, so much so that I literally became speechless and couldn't even answer you. I would never think that you, the girl of my dreams, the light of my life, would ever want to be in a relationship with a life-ruining murderer like me. I would love nothing more than to be your boyfriend (y/n) but I would just end up hurting you, and I could never live with myself if I did." while he spoke he paced around your lounge but always managed to maintain eye-contact, allowing you access to his soul. He was telling the truth.
"What did I tell you about the buts huh?" you smiled, cupping Bucky's face in your hands. "The only but that is allowed is your perfect butt." you pulled his face towards yours and your lips found each other, his hands rested on your waist and fireworks exploded in your head. Bucky was the first to pull away.
"You can't be with me, you won't be safe." he murmured. So typical, he wasn't thinking about what he wanted, he's thinking about you. You kiss him harder, more passionately. Bucky pulls away again but only to whisper "Ok, maybe this could work out. I can now officially say (y/n)'s my girl!" your pulse quickened and you felt like a thousand tonnes had been lifted off your shoulders.
You run your hands through his gorgeous hair "And I can finally say snowflake butt is my boyfriend!"
Bucky cursed "When I next see Tony I'm gonna kill him, people having been calling me that for weeks since Tony came up with it, and now you too! The next time I see his smug face I'm gonna-" you follow your boyfriend out of your apartment. You weren't gonna miss Tony getting beat up.
