Bucky Barnes Imagines

Reader Request Part 2!

A/N - Crazy_JeffersonLover, I am so sorry I had you waiting forever! With all of my classes and assignments I thought I'd never have the time to write this! I hope this story is worth the wait :) I also want to thank everyone who has patiently waited for updates, all of the kind comments are what prompted me to make time for Wattpad. Also, there is a few minor curse words in here, so watch out.

"I found Bucky's communicator on the ground. Is that how you're tracking his location?" Y/n said moments later. Her tone was calm, but laced with concern.

"Yup, so he's gone. Alright, we don't want you alone down there. I'll send Steve in a few moments. Just stay where you are Y/n." Tony said, serious for once in his life.

"Alright Tony, I'm waiting." She quipped nervously, making mental notes of the things around her. 

Suddenly something snapped behind her; whipping around with a gun in her hand she took another look around. "Steve?" She paused, "Is that you?".

Frowning, she walked over to the source of the sound. Still, finding nothing. Sitting down in that spot and then leaning up against the nearest tree, she waited for  Cap. Her agile fingers plucked at the soft grass surrounding her as she continued to wait.

"Y/n?" A rugged voice called from behind her. Jumping to her feet Y/n attempted to locate the source of the sound, "Bucky?" she called. 

"Where are you Y/n?" The Winter Soldier called. "Bucky, do you need me to come to you?" She responded, trying to stay calm.

"No no! Don't come to me it's not safe!" He yelled from somewhere just behind Y/n's field of vision. 

With a sigh Y/n began to walk towards the sound of Bucky's voice. "I assure you I will be fine Buck." She quipped.

"I don't think you understand, you won't. I lost control back there, it could happen again! At any moment!" Bucky shouted, only giving away his location.

Y/n had found him, crouched behind a tree with his head in his lethal hands; brown hair sprawled out and spilling from the cracks in his fingers as his back moved steadily with the rhythm of his breath.

"Go away Y/n, I can't have you getting hurt. Call for Steve." He whispered.

Slightly offended, Y/n responded. "I assure you I can handle myself. Steve was on his way last time I checked, so he should be here any minute. What about you? Are you hurt?"

Silently Bucky shook his head in response. Y/n pursed her lips as moved to sit next to him on the damp ground. "You know, if you don't talk to anyone you won't get better."

He lifted his head from his hands, "What if what I say will scare them. All of the horrors I've seen, done I-I...".

"You need to stop assuming your the only one on the team who has been to Hell and back Buck. We all know what you've done, and we've all done the same in our own ways. You need to accept your role on the team, and talk to us!" Y/n shouted losing her patience for a moment. 

Bucky's blue eyes softened as he soaked in her sharp words, "I'm sorry. I-I didn't know I was upsetting the team.".

Y/n bit her lip, regretting her past statement. "I think I heard Steve, stay here." She said getting up and walking towards the footfalls not far from them.

Bucky nodded and stayed in place as Y/n's athletic figure disappeared beyond the bushes.

Quickly finding Steve, Y/n updated him on what was going on, "Steve, he's convinced he's a danger to us. Claims he lost control back there. From what I saw he was fine, maybe you can help?".

Steve looked at her softly, "I think you need to talk to him.".

Shocked Y/n stared at Steve blankly, "Why?" She paused. "You're his best friend, not me."

Steve smiled, "Let's just say he's told me a few things.".

Y/n frowned, "What the hell does that mean?".

"Y/n, just go talk to him. I'll wait here. Tell him we can leave when he's ready.", Cap said.

Still confused, Y/n simply nodded as she began the short walk back to Bucky.

Quickly reaching her destination she called to him, "Bucky, I'm back. Steve told me we can leave when you're ready.".

The Winter Soldier's somber tone called out, "Can you just sit with me for a moment."

Y/n sighed, thinking back to Cap's words, and walked over to Bucky. She down down next to him and waited for him to speak. 

Bucky turned to Y/n, "So Steve and I have been talking, about you. I've been trying to distance myself from, so you wouldn't get scared, or realize I'm a burden. But I didn't think about how that actually made me a burden, a-a chore. I'm sorry."

Y/n's face softened as she finally understood what Steve had meant, she put her hand on Bucky's forearm as she spoke, "You're not a burden Buck, you just need a little help. That's nothing to apologize for.".

In one swift motion Bucky grabbed, Y/n hand and kissed it once. "Thank you.".

A hot blush danced across Y/n's face as she stared back at Bucky; speechless.

Bucky smirked, assuming his usual demeanor, "Let's get out of here.".

Y/n nodded, as she shook the blush off of her cheeks, "Steve is waiting."
