Bucky Barnes Imagine

Way back home.

Recently fell in love with this song and this is where I got my inspiration from, I hope you guys will like it! 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since Bucky was brought back to the tower, he was regaining his memories day by day. He remembered Steve, he remembered what happened after his fall off from the train into the icy ravine, he remembered everything else but you. You were his best friend other than Steve, the three of you pretty much grew up together. Bucky loved you, he didn't want to confess his love to you because he was gonna be sent off to war, so he kept it between him and Steve. Steve promised not to tell you how Bucky felt, not until he died, he wanted you to know he loved you very much and wished to be there with you 'till the end of the line. 

When Steve told you what happened to Bucky when he did not return with him, you were devastated. The man you loved so preciously is now gone. Steve told you everything Bucky would've wanted you to know, of course you were heartbroken, though something deep down inside told you that he was still alive somehow. You were determined to find him or at least his body, so you joined Steve into the whole operation: rebirth.

"Are you sure this is where Bucky lives?" you raised your eyebrow at Steve as you enter a filthy old apartment. You looked around for signs of Bucky but he wasn't there. 

"I'm pretty sure--" Steve said as he opened a journal with a photo of him in his suit. 

"What are you doing here?" a deep voice came through from the back, you recognized that voice, it was the voice that always kept you calm during your panic attacks, it was the voice that made you laugh everyday. You and Steve turned around and saw Bucky standing there, looking at the both of you.

"Do you know me?" Steve asked.

"You're Steve, I've read about you at a museum and you're y/n, also from the museum." Tears welled up in your eyes, he doesn't remember you, after years of looking, you finally found him, alive and standing right in front of you, you wanted to run up to him and hold him tight but he wasn't the Bucky you once knew.

* all the fighting and chasing in between bla bla bla *

"Are you actually watching TV or just staring into space?" Steve's voice interrupted your thought.

"I uhh--I was watching the TV." you took a deep breath and letting it out.

"Right--" Steve said as he sat down next to you making the cushion on the couch sink a little. "So how is he doing?" Bucky has been living on the same floor as you in the Avengers Tower ever since he was brought back here, Steve knew you'd take good care of Bucky, so he requested to put Bucky with you instead of him.

"He's doing fine, just like usual, he would still wake up and tell me what happened back in the 40's, a new story everyday--" you shrugged looking down at your thighs.

"Did he mention anything about you?" 

"He said he remembered there was a girl in his flashbacks but he said her face was blurry so he didn't know who she was, and he also remembered he told you something very important before he went to war, of course he didn't know exactly what is was about. He said that the girl was very important to him, he became very frustrated when he couldn't remember her face. So you tell me, did he mention anything about me?" you said as you stood up from the couch and about to leave the floor. "Help me look after him for a while, will you? I have some catching up to do with Wanda." you continued and left.

---time skip---

After a while, you returned to your floor to find Steve still sitting on the couch in your living room.

"Hey, I'm back." Steve looked in your direction as you said.

"Hey!" he replied.

"Where's Bucky?" you said as you looked around for Bucky.

"He's still sleeping." he paused. "I have to go now, I have a meeting really soon." he said before he left.

"Are you serious?" you looked down the clock on the wall, it reads 1:30 p.m. but right after, you heard a door opened down the hall, it must be Bucky, you walked over to the kitchen to get a glass of water for him.

"y/n?" his voice came echoed through the hallway.

"I'm in the kitchen." you replied. "How was your sleep?" you continued with your back facing the entrance, there was no reply. You turned around to find Bucky's bright blur orbs surrounded by a red sea, beads of sweat rolling down from his temple, his mouth slightly apart gasping for air.

"y/n--"he finally said something.

"Nightmare?" you made your way to him, softly running your hands along the side of his flesh arm.

"I remembered--"he paused.

"What do you remember?" you said as you moved you hand to the side of his cheek.

"I remembered you." his answer caught you off guard, your eyes widen and brimmed with tears. He pulled you into his embrace, he nuzzled his face into your neck. "I finally remembered you."

"What do you remember?" you wrap your arms around his neck while stroking the back of his neck, calming him down.

"I remembered I love you, I remember how I loved your laugh, your smile, your e/c eyes, your everything. I remembered asking Steve to tell you how much I loved you, and that I wished I could be there with you 'till the end of the line." he shuddered. 

"Anything else?" streams of warm tears running down your cheeks and onto his shirt making a obvious water stain on it.

"I remember when I told you, no matter where I go, I'll never leave your side, you'll never be alone." he paused. "Even when we go through changes, even when we're old, I remember that I told you, I'll find my way back home and you are my home."

"I'm glad to have you back, Bear." you let out a sigh of relief. You both pulled away but he kept your body close to his, you could feel the heat of his body radiating.

"I miss hearing you call me Bear." he said before connecting his lips on yours. This is was 70 years late but you were just so happy now that he's here with you right now, you feel him broke into a smile on your lips. "I love you y/n."

"I love you too Buckybear."
