Bucky Barnes Imagines

Bucky x Dying!Gender-Neutral!Reader

It all happened too fast.

Each day went by, and he didn't stop to think it could be their last.

Well, Y/n's last.

He had thoght they were invincible; that nothing and no one could ever touch them.

He was wrong.

"Buck?" A quivering voice asked.

Tears welled up in the man's eyes as he answered. "Yes sweetheart?".

With a gulp the frail lover answered. "When I die-"

Bucky cut them off fiercely: "If you die.".

"When I die, please, find someone else to make you happy again. Just promise to keep smiling." Y/n said, biting back tears.

The man's shoulders slumped forward as he placed his head in his hands.

"Stop talking like that. You'll be fine, we'll all be fine!" Bucky cried.

Y/n shook their head sadly as they out one frail hand on Bucky's shoulder. "That's the thing, I won't be fine. But you will. Maybe not right away Buck, but someone will make you happy again."

Taking his head out of his hands, Bucky looked Y/n in the eyes angrily. "Stop talking like you're already dead, Y/n."

With a sigh Y/n whispered. "It's any day now Buck. I've lost everything, my apartment, my friends, my hair, my life. Just please Buck, promise me you'll find some who won't die on you!"

The tears Bucky had been fighting so hard to bite back, now streamed down his cheeks.

After years of no emotions, his had grown very intense.

"Buck. Please." Y/n whispered.

"I-I'll try." He whimpered.

A weak smile spread across Y/n's face as she leaned back into the hospital bed. "Thank you, for everything. I love you Buck."

The heart moniter next to Y/n went flat, and a beeping sound erupted in the room.

Bucky took their hand.

"Y/n?"

No response.

"Y/n!"

Nurses rushed in on the dismal scene. There was nothing they could do.

He didn't even get to say goodbye. 

But Bucky will try to keep smiling.

For Y/n.

A/N - I came up with this sad idea while I was at the beach. Hope it wasn't too crappy.
