S. Stan and B. Barnes Imagines

Bad Reputation (Bucky Barnes)

What? Two updates in one day? Wack.

ANYWAY!

Every time I hear this song, I think of Bucky. Idk why, but I do.

I hope you guys will like this one!

Remember, listen to the song while you read. It adds to the effect ig.

NOW ON WITH THE SHOW!

(p.s. this one is kind of sad, but it gets better. I promise)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can you see my emotion
Sinkin' away in slow motion?

Bucky always hated HYDRA and what they did to him.

He hated how they could drain him of all emotion with the flip of a switch.

Even though he was cured of them and the words wouldn't work anymore, whenever someone would utter one of them without realizing it he could feel the emotion sinking away in slow motion it seemed.

But he shook it off and continued with his day.

His life now was like an ocean. Full of waves and unpredictable.

Like a break in the ocean
Just getting lost out at sea

Then you came.

A new face to the team of the Avengers.

It was a break in his endless ocean as he watched you move throughout the room, introducing yourself to the team.

But you were afraid of him. He could see it in your body language when he introduced himself to you. And then his ocean came crashing back down on him as you walked away.

Can you see my emotion
Say, can you see my devotion?
Like a break in the ocean
Just getting lost out at sea

He stayed away from you to help you feel comfortable. But he didn't want to.

After years of not being able to feel anything, he finally felt something. He felt calm when you were around, happy even.

It was a break in his ocean when you were around. But when you left the room, he would just get lost again.

I hear what you're saying
I got a bad reputation
And now you got me praying
For a better situation

He overheard you talking to Steve one day as you told him about why you were sacred of Bucky.

Bucky hated that his reputation of the Winter Soldier still loomed over him like a dark shadow. He hated that something he has tried so hard to get rid of is still controlling his life.

He wanted to get to know you. He wanted to be your friend, not your nightmare.

All because of you, he found himself hating his past even more and wishing it never happened. He wanted something better. He wanted to be a force of good in your eyes, not some monster with the blood of thousands on his hands.

Feeling like I'm down, d-down, d-down low
Feeling like I'm down, d-down, d-down low
Guess it's gonna follow me wherever I go
Guess it's gonna follow me, follow me, I know
(I got a bad reputation)

Bucky could never get rid of the Soldier and its lasting imprint on him and he hated every second of it.

He felt worse than he has ever felt before. Steve could see the difference. So could Natasha, Tony, Clint, hell even Thor could see it and the God wasn't around most of the time.
