"Bucky I'm a vital part to spying on HYDRA , for all they know I'm still a part of their corporation and I'm not associated with the avengers at all and that makes me a huge asset for this team, so you know that puts me in a lot of missions."

You explained to your boyfriend Bucky as you gather your clothes about to get into the shower and head out on your next mission. You got your orders this morning that you were to again go into HYDRA headquarters and infiltrate their system for information using the key cards and identifications that you still have.

" I know doll it's just I hardly get to see you anymore, I miss you and every time we set up plans it feels like you have another mission to go on. When's the last time we did something together?" Bucky sighs in frustration, as he sits down on the bed you two share although it seems like you two were hardly in it at the same time.

To be completely honest, what he was saying struck a nerve with you. You knew that you weren't able to spend as much time with him anymore but you expected him to know more than anyone how important it was to be able to infiltrate HYDRA. Of course you miss spending time with him, but in your opinion, saving the world is always going to come first.

" Bucky, we have talked about this before, you know I miss you, and you know I love you, it's not like I'm trying to avoid you by going on missions. I'm doing what I need to do, I can't always control where I go." you sigh in frustration, as you pick up your neatly folded fresh set of clothes and place your hairbrush on top. As you pick up the clothes off the bed Bucky stands up to face you.

" i'm trying to make this work, (y/n), don't you think I know how important all of our jobs are in The Avengers?! sometimes when you get back to the tower after missions you brush me off and lock yourself up in our room." he says, looking deeply into your eyes.

you take a step towards him.
" because I'm exhausted Bucky! I have to pretend to be something I'm not every mission, and HYDRA headquarters aren't exactly next door."

Bucky's heart rate increases as he anticipates a heated argument between you two. He raises his metal arm up to run through his chocolate locks, in order to calm down.

You anticipating his movement as something much more dangerous, you take a sharp breath in and drop your clothes as you instinctively lift your arms up to guard your face.

The clatter of your hairbrush against the floor rings in your ears, as a moment of uncomfortable silence passes.

You lower your shaky arms from your eyes and, you witness the familiar prick of tears.

You cover your mouth to keep from sobbing out loud, while Bucky keeps his eyes trained on you with his mouth agape.

Did you really just flinch at Bucky? He's not your ex, why would you do something like that? Did you just ruin your only good relationship since your past one of pain and abuse?

You turn and speed-walk over to the bathroom the two of you shared and closed the door behind you before Bucky could get the chance to move.

"Doll?" you hear Bucky say with his face pressed against the door.

You lean your back against the door, covering your mouth while you cried. Why are you so pathetic? You're a world-class assassin, and you can't even resist flinching?

You turn and quickly open the door, Bucky looks at you with sad eyes seeing your tear-stained cheeks.

"Bucky, i'm so-so sorry. Please don't be mad, i promise-" you choke out, your hand still resting on the doorknob.

Bucky steps toward you and wraps you in his arms, "no-no, i'm not mad." he says, resting his head on top of yours as he pulls you closer.

After a moment he cup your face in his hands, one cold metal and the other a comforting warm.
"You aren't scared of me, are you babydoll?" Bucky asks you, his face haunted with concern.

"Oh no, Buck, its just my ex, he used to raise his hand, the same way you did- before he-" you could hardly finish your sentence before you start crying again.

In Bucky's eyes you see a plethora of emotions in only a matter of seconds. He was angry, resentful, and mortified, then he was sad, and sorry as he looked at you.

You rested your head on his chest again as you continued to cry,

"easy, doll. he can't hurt you anymore, and if i ever see him so help me, he will not live to see the light of day, and he'll have a whole team of badass superheroes to get through if he wants to get to you."

Bucky's words calm your nerves as you crack a smile thinking about 'The Mighty Avengers' vs. your ex-boyfriend.

"i love you bucky barnes, with my whole entire heart."

"i love you more, doll-face."
