^^His face at the beginning of this gif slays me (more than usual) and I swear that that phone isn't attached to anything because the end of the chord slaps his face XD.
I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever and this one-shot isn't one of your guy's requests, it's one I wrote ages ago but never published cos I didn't like it but what the heck...
Anyway, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life to read my simple one-shots, without your support this book would be nothing!
WARNING: This story contains a very annoying woman who you might want to punch in the face. That is all.

"Hey guys!" you perk up at the sound of Bucky's voice but internally groan when you see Christina attached to his arm.
"Hey, good to see ya Buck." Steve grinned as Bucky sat next to him and unfortunately Christina plonked her ass right next to you. It wasn't like she was a particularly awful woman, you've dealt with robbers, terrorists, rapists and murders so in comparison everyone else is wonderful. No, it wasn't the fact that she was a bad person it was the fact that she was dating Bucky.
"Everything ok there (y/n)?" Bucky leaned forward to look at you but you just nodded, avoiding eye contact. Bucky had been your best friend for a year and you didn't realise you had other feelings for him until he got together with Christina about a month ago.
"Bucky bear I'm hungry, can you get me something?" Christina battered her heavily made-up eyelashes in Bucky's direction and Bucky was off to cater for her every whim. Whenever she was in the room you felt uncomfortable, maybe even angry, so you tried to remain cool.
"Bucky could you get me some-" Steve turned around and sighed when Bucky was not in earshot so decided instead to chase after him leaving you and Christina alone.
"So, uhh I like your top." you try and act like a normal human would in this situation by starting a petty conversation.
"Thank you it's Versace, very expensive, just like these Guess jeans, Gucci heels and Louis Vuitton handbag." Christina takes you on a very bland tour of her outfit which was basically her just pointing to various items and saying who they were designed by.
"That must be uh very-"
"-Expensive? Yeah but my ex bought them so you know, who cares?" you breathe heavily, trying to keep yourself calm.
"So I see you're not that into looking good." you feel your self confidence and patience leave your body and jump out of the window. You could sense your right eye and the corner of your mouth twitch in annoyance.
"Well actually seeing as I'm not leaving the house and I'm more comfortable like this-" you try and reason with her but yet again you are cut off.
"-Well I wouldn't want hot guys thinking I'm a slob, and you live with the hottest guys around, but keep your hands off Bucky, he's mine. Actually scrap that, keep your hands off all of them in case I get bored with him!" Christina giggled at herself while you stared at her in shock, was she for real? You'd been sitting here together for a minute tops and she'd already insulted you and your friends. You couldn't be civil anymore. A/N it's time for a civil war ;)
That cold cup of coffee Steve left on the side looked tempting.
"Speaking of which where's the hot billionaire?" your hand creeps towards the cup.
"You mean Tony?"
"Yeah, yeah, where is he?" the cup was just centimeters away.
"He's probably in the basement altering his suit." your hand touches the handle.
"Oh, ok I-" in the heat of the moment you throw the cold liquid over Christina, causing her to scream and stand up, backing away from you while the coffee drips off her Versace top. The look on her face was priceless as she kept screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Look what you've done you little rat!" you hear people's footsteps above Christina's squealing and decide that people have come to the source of the commotion.
"Don't you DARE speak about me or my friends like that, or anyone for that matter!" an overwhelming urge to hit her arose but you suppressed it, for now at least.
"Honey what's-" Bucky stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Christina, you had expected him to get angry but instead he looked rather surprised and amused.
"Hey I heard the-" Steve wasn't far behind but was equally surprised by Christina's state.
"Your stupid friend here threw this cold coffee all over my designer clothes!" Christina pouted as she shook her arms violently to emphasize her point, all eyes were now on you waiting for your version of events but you had no idea what to say to make them believe you.
"I-uh did throw the coffee on her but in my defense-" you rush the last part of the sentence as you see Christina opening her mouth
"-SEE! She said it herself! Do something!" Christina moaned as Bucky maneuvered so he was in between you both.
"At least let (y/n) finish her explanation Chrissie." you gag at Christina's nickname but appreciate that Bucky stood up for you against his girlfriend.
"Thanks, so like I said, I did throw the coffee at her but in my defense she did kinda call me a slob and called you all 'the hottest guys around' before saying ' keep your hands off Bucky, he's mine. Actually scrap that, keep your hands off all of them in case I get bored with him!'" when you finish you see the look of absolute betrayal and pain in Bucky's eyes so you add "I'm sorry about all this Buck, really, I am." you shift around uncomfortably.
"Chrissie, is this true?" Christina keeps calm under Bucky's scrutinizing gaze.
"No, of course not, I would never do that to you I swear!" despite her many, many, flaws Christina wasn't actually that bad of an actress. You hope that Bucky will see through her facade.
An unbearable silence filled the room. No one knew what to say but everyone had something to say.
"Buck?" Steve had his arms crossed by the door, looking incredibly defensive. After a long sigh Bucky finally speaks:
"Christina I can't do this anymore, I'm dumping you." your eyes widen to the size of saucers, did he really just say that?
"What? You believe her?! That disgusting little-" Bucky motions for Steve to come over and he happily obliges, grabbing Christina and dragging her unceremoniously out of the room.
"You'll see, you'll see me with a hotter guy and will think of what could have been!" echoes through the stairwell as Bucky collapses on the sofa and puts his head in his hands, you knew you had to comfort him somehow.
"Hey, if it helps I think what you did for me was very brave and I thank you for that and I- I don't think that there is anyone hotter than you I mean I don't-" you fumble over those last words as Bucky looks up at you with tears forming in his eyes.
"It's- It's nothing really. I always knew that Christina was difficult, to be honest with you I don't know why I went out with her but yet I did and I dragged you into this mess and I'm so sorry because you're not a slob at all you're one of my best friends; someone I would trust with my life and I've said too much haven't I?" you are entranced by Bucky's powerful speech but also touched at his kind words.
"No, not at all Buck." you smile, noticing how Bucky's eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.
"So, uh-" you shake your head after staring at his eyes for far too long. Before you could do anything else you saw Bucky lean in and press his lips onto yours for a brief kiss. When he pulled away you gasped.
"I'm-I'm so sorry (y/n) I didn't mean to uh-" you gently touch your lips before hushing Bucky with a loving kiss, cherishing every second your mouths were connected.
"There's no need to be sorry, I've been waiting too long for this." you run your hands through Bucky's silky locks and soak in every detail of his god-like face.
"I love you (y/n), with all my heart and I'm sorry I told you like this." he caressed your cheek with his flesh hand.
"I love you too Bucky."
