Something To Believe In || Bucky Barnes x Reader

CHAPTER 20 |

HELLO IM BACK sorry I've been gone so long school is hard rip

You sniffled as you woke up on top of something warm. You opened your eyes slowly, bringing a hand up to rub the crusty sleep out of them.

A groan sounded from under you, and you lifted your head up to find you'd been laying on Bucky's chest. "Good morning" he whispered in a husky, sleepy voice. "Good morning" you replied, wanting to relish in this moment but knowing you both had to get up to train.

"Do we have to get up?" He groaned once more, you looked at him as he opened his eyes slowly. "Sadly" you said, pouting as you traced his jawline with your fingers. You landed just below his lips, which caused him to pull you in closer. He smirked as your lips lingered above his, but just as he was about to kiss you you pulled away and got up.

"Y/N" he moaned with frustration "Why are you being a tease?" You smirked, grabbing your stuff from last night and waltzing out the door. Stopping just outside it and turning back "You haven't seen anything yet." And with that, you were off.

You changed into your training gear, a sports bra and workout leggings, smiling as you took off the sweater that smelled like him. You folded it up and put it on top of your dresser, figuring he'd be okay with you borrowing it for a longer period of time. You pulled on some sneakers and headed down to the kitchen to grab a water bottle.

You walked into the training room to find some people in there already, including Bucky. You approached Natasha, who was wrapping her hands. "Hey, Nat. Would you mind sparring with me?" You asked her. "Sure Y/N" she agreed hesitantly. You both walked over to the fighting mat.

Admittedly, you were pretty nervous. This was your first training day since you were rescued from HYDRA, and you never knew when what they put inside you could act up again.

You got into your sparring positions, unsure about this whole idea. The rest of the room seems to share your feelings as they stop what they're doing to watch.

"We'll take it easy at first." Nat assured you as you began circling each other. You nodded. She threw the first punch and kick and you deflected both with ease. She got closer to your ear "So how did things go with Barnes last night?" She asked yearningly. You flipped he onto her back, immediately helping her back up and whispering back "Nothing happened, we just kissed." She gasped slightly as you continued fighting. "French?" She mouthed as you both took turns kicking "Stop!" You mouthed back playfully, adding on a quick "Maybe" which sent her spiraling into a hysterical fit.

You flipped her over a little too hard, slamming her against the ground as she yelled profanities. You stepped back "Holy shit Nat, I'm so sorry." You breathed, watching your friend in pain. You looked down at your hands, realizing this was HYDRA's doing. You backed up more until you were halfway out the door, your friends staring at you speechlessly. "Y/N" Bucky called, his eyes looking more understanding than the rest. Before he could finish, you ran out the gym and towards your room, head in your hands.
