Bucky Barnes X Reader One-shots

Abort mission

This will be based off prompt  3) You couldn't stop the tears falling, you really needed someone to hold you, tell you that everything is going to be alright and that this would all go away tomorrow. If tomorrow ever comes.

For this (b/f/n) is your best friend's name and I haven't assigned them a gender (seeing as they could be male or female) so that's why the description of them might not be that great and (b/n/n) is their nickname if they have one, having said that enjoy :)

________________________________________________________________________________

Having your best friends on the team was great. Steve provided the normality, Bucky and Sam provided the entertainment, Nat and Tony had enough sass for all of us, Clint was caring and Wanda was determined. But your best best friend (b/f/n) had been right by your side since childhood and knew you better than you knew yourself, you could always depend on them. 

"So that's that then, let's do this!" Tony placed his hand out, expecting us all to take it and do a group cheer but everyone was unamused. This was a serious mission, if one person messes up innocents would be in danger. You shook your head, (b/f/n) had always told you how they secretly fancied Tony. You had absolutely no idea why. 

"Good luck." you muttered as you tapped (b/f/n) on the shoulder, signalling them to follow you. Their (e/c) eyes flickered onto yours. They were still full of the pure joy of life, that was the one constant in your hectic life.

Mummers resignated as everyone dispersed into quinjets, you might never see these people again, that's what you hated the most about these missions. The personal stakes were too high. 

"So umm... Do you think Tony likes me?" they check around their shoulder, their (h/c) hair swishing as they did. 

"He likes you (b/f/n), but probably as a friend ya'know because he's kinda attached to Pepper." you hated how this seemed to deflate them, was this the right move?

"But you never know (b/n/n) you've got a chance, once Tony gets to know you better he'll probably fall face-first in love with you." flicking various switches and placing the headset over your head you decided that it couldn't hurt to encourage them, it was at this exact moment you smelt something overpowering.

"(b/f/n) what the hell? What is that smell?" you pretend to be choking as the door lifts up, sealing you in.

"You gotta dress to impress." grinning they place their own headset on beside you as you lift the quinjet from the ground. 

"Idiot." 

"Moron"

The rest of the flight was of a similar caliber, insults were dished out like free samples, crushes were discussed and much teasing followed and ever so occasionally you focussed on the mission. 

"I still can't believe you fancy The Winter Soldier!" sighing you push several buttons above your head to cloak the jet as you were entering HYDRA territory. Why on earth did you tell them? You were never going to hear the end of this.

"Look I don't tease you about your crush on Tony-" you received a stern and disapproving look. 

"-much. I don't tease you much about it and I'd really appreciate if you zip it ok, especially around him?" although you would constantly insult, tease and annoy each other you knew that you could trust (b/f/n) with your life. 

"Fine, but you ruin all my fun!" you remained seated as (b/f/n) left their co-pilot seat to secure their parachute. Steve had planned to have half the team parachute (or in his case just jump off the damn plane) in and the other half to land the quinjets nearby, so they would be ready for extraction later on. The reason why you were flying four quinjets in for nine people was for safety, or as Nat so graciously put it 'They can't shoot us all down, we want some of us to make it out alive.' thanks Nat. You were proud of (b/f/n) for making the team three months ago but it was at moments like these you wished that they didn't.
