Y/N was late again. Their bus had broken down, and they were forced to walk the rest of the way to their shared apartment with James Barnes.They rushed up the stone stairs, their shoes lightly hitting the step before moving onto the next. The made it to the correct floor, wrenched open the door to the hallway and quickly walked down it. They pulled their keys out of their pocket and unlocked the door and pulled it open, only to be met with Bucky. With a suitcase. Y/N dropped their bag.
"What's happening?" Y/N had always feared that this would happen but they didn't think it would be so soon. Bucky stared at the floor like it owed him something. "Are you leaving for a mission?" Y/N knew that there was no mission that night.
"I'm leaving." The resolve in his voice was like tinfoil disguised as titanium. Y/N sighed, trying to keep the tears at bay.
"Why?" Their voice shook.
"Because I loved you. Loved, past tense." His eyes stayed glued to the floor.
"Maybe when you can look me in the face when you say that, I'll actually believe you." Softer this time. "Why are you leaving?" Bucky met their eyes, startling bright blue meeting E/C, both shining with unused tears.
"I can't have you be hurt. Not again."
