I normally don't write Bucky Angst, due to my love for him, so this is strange and difficult for me.

. . . .

Character's Name: (Y/N) (L/N) = Last Name

Plot: (Y/N) Gives Up On Her Crush.

Type: Soft Angst

. . . .


There he stood, flirting with girls, as per usual. He spoke words (Y/N) desperately wanted to hear.

She stood at the bar, by herself as James Barnes flirted with the pretty girl. She wished she could be in the girls place.

"You okay" the familiar voice of Steve asked.

Steve Rogers, her best friend, the only one who knew her secret, her secret crush on the handsome brunette with the most stunning blue eyes.

"I will be" she replied with a small sad smile.

(Y/N) had known Steve and Bucky her whole life, the whole 22 years she had been alive.

Her whole life she had the pleasure of watching girls throw themselves at Bucky. She and Steve had the pleasure of watching Bucky with his girl of the night.

Bucky's laugh could be heard through the music. (Y/N) wanted to be the one who made him laugh like that, but she was never given a chance.

She watched as Bucky made his way over to them. "Hey, this doll has invited me to her house, I might be a while" Bucky told them with a wink.

Steve smirked at him, while (Y/N) forced a smile on her face. "Have fun" Steve told him. "You know I will" he winked before he went back over to the girl.

"You'll find someone one day" Steve assured (Y/N). "No I won't" her voice shaking as she replied.

She watched as Bucky left the bar with the beautiful girl smiling by his side. How she wished it could be her.

"Excuse me" a males voice spoke.

Steve and (Y/N) turned to see a handsome man with brown hair and beautiful green eyes. He was roughly two years older than them.

"Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt, but you are beautiful, doll. Would you care to dance" he asked.

(Y/N) looked at Steve nervously. "She would love to" he told the man. "You don't have to. I would never force you to do anything you didn't wish to" he assured her.

"I would love too" she told him as she took his hand.

He took (Y/N) to the dancefloor, where the two of them danced together. It was truly amazing.

"You are beautiful, truly the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on" He said to her. "What is your name?"

"My name is (Y/N), (Y/N) (L/N)." He took her hand and brought it towards his lips. "My name is George Johnson." He pressed a kiss on her hand.

They continued to dance the night away.

"(Y/N)" they heard Steve call out. They turned to see him approaching them.

"I'm going to make my way home" Steve told her. "We can walk with you, if you want" George suggested. "That way I can walk (Y/N) home after."

"We can take (Y/N) home first" Steve told him. George nodded his head.

The three walked to (Y/N)'s house. They took her to the door.

She turned to George first. "Thank you, for a wonderful time" she told him as she kissed his cheek.

"I hope to see you again soon" George said. "I hope so too" she replied. She hugged Steve before she walked into her house.

George couldn't help but smile at the beautiful woman.

Steve turned to him. "Don't hurt her" he told the much taller man. "I would never hurt a dame, especially not one as beautiful as (Y/N)" George assured him.

"Good. She doesn't deserve anyone to hurt her. She's suffering enough with one heart break, she doesn't need another."

"I will never intentionally hurt her" George assured him. "Good."


(Y/N) and George started to see each other at least twice a week for two months. During them months (Y/N) had forgot about Bucky and fallen madly in love with George.

Steve and Bucky were sitting at the bar. Bucky was scanning around, looking for a girl to 'spend time with'. His eyes went wide as he saw (Y/N) dancing with George.

"Why is (Y/N) dancing with him" Bucky asked disgusted. "He's Courting her Buck" Steve told him.

"Why wasn't I told" Bucky felt slightly offended he wasn't informed. Steve shrugged his shoulders. "You never paid attention to her, so she found someone else."

Bucky was confused for a moment. Then his eyes went wide. He realised (Y/N) liked him. How could he not have seen it before?

"I have to speak to her" he got out of his chair. "Bucky, don't" Steve said, causing his friend to stop.

"She likes me Steve, I need to speak to her" Bucky said. "She's happy Buck, don't ruin it for her" Steve replied. "But I like her too."

"You're the one who always brought other girls over to us, girls who were often rude to us. You lost your chance Bucky. She's happy." Steve told him.

"I can make it right" Bucky insisted. "You're too Late Bucky" Steve told him.

Steve was right, Bucky was too late.

I really hate writing any kind of Bucky Angst. He's so precious.
