Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes Imagines

20. Steve - This War Isn't Civil Part Three

Oh my good lord I am so sorry for not updating this story, my writers block when it came to this particular series was insane. It took me forever to figure out where I wanted to take it. Next up will be 00 : 00 : 00 : 00 which I hope to finish writing today - I had bad writers block with that too.

ALSO, to the people commenting on my author's note - I have seen those requests and I will definitely write them, BUT they will be drabbles and I'm not sure when I can get to them. Right now I have a long list from requests (mainly from tumblr) and it's a first come first serve basis, so I gotta get through those first. But I promise I will write those as soon as I can, thank you for requesting!

Hope you guys enjoy the almost final part :) 

WARNING - CACW SPOILERS

"Captain Steve Rogers has yet to make an appearance, as well as Tony Stark making no further comments. This morning Colonel James Rhodes has confirmed that the Sokovia Accords are still in place for the Avengers, despite the actions of Captain Rogers and some of his teammates."

"Bucky, turn this shit off," you muttered, grimacing at the television. The woman's bright smile was starting to make you feel nauseous anyway.

Bucky gave you a look but did as you asked, pressing the power off button on the remote. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," you responded, ignoring another look from him. "You don't have to stay with me, you know. If they know you're here-"

"I want you," he said sincerely, sighing, "They won't catch me here. They probably think I'm somewhere hiding with Steve right now."

"You really think he's in hiding somewhere?" You asked, not necessarily in a condescending tone, but in one of curiosity. 

It had been weeks since the incident, but you were still in the hospital. Tony's beam had nearly killed you, and as Bucky put it, the "asshole didn't even come to see if you were alive". He didn't mention the fact that Steve didn't come and check on you either. If he was even alive.

"I know he is," Bucky said with certainty, causing you to purse your lips and turn away, staring at the blank television screen.

"Then why isn't he here?" You asked, your voice unintentionally cracking at the end. Bucky's expression softened when he noticed the tears forming in your eyes, even though you clearly tried to hide it.

"Hey, hey," he stood up from his chair and came over to you, shocking you when he pulled you into a hug. "Steve will be back. The entire world is looking for him, doll, he's probably just having trouble figuring out a way to get here. I know him well enough to know he cares about you a lot, and he wouldn't do this is he had a choice."

"You give really nice hugs," you muttered after a minute of silence, causing him to let out a laugh and release you. "Thank you for that, Bucky."

"He'll come back, Y/N. Steve would never leave his best girl behind."

The day they finally released you from the hospital, Bucky wasn't there. After you had broken down, you two had gotten pretty close despite being on opposing sides before. Of course he couldn't come, though, because he couldn't risk getting caught, so Natasha came instead.
