Lovebirds (Bucky x Reader)

Chapter 7

The boys sat there and stared at you as if they were waiting for an answer. "What?" You asked them, "I answered your question, I'm not going to tell you who it is." You crossed your arms and looked at the two boys with your eyebrows raised. 

"Aw c'mon, Y/N," Bucky pouted, "Not even a little hint?" He asked. 

"No!" You said.

"Fine," Bucky said, "Then you'll never know who I like either." He said and crossed his arms as you did and looked away, pouting. You rolled your eyes at his childish behavior and looked at Steve who was in deep thought. "Watcha thinkin' about Steve?" You asked him. Steve turned to you and said, "Now that I think of it Y/N, you don't really talk to many guys. Only me, Bucky, and John." Ugh. John. 

"Steve, you know John and I haven't talked ever since the..." you trailed off for a moment, "Incident." Bucky looked between the two of you, confused. "Wait, what incident?" Bucky asked, leaning in curiously. You sighed and leaned back onto the pole that part of the tent was connected to. "It was about a year ago when I went to a party with my friend John, without my mom's permission." You started, "This was a really big party so of course there was alcohol and John offered me a drink and I took it." You paused for a moment before continuing, "After I took the drink I began to feel dizzy and felt like I was about to pass out." You grabbed one of the pillows and held it tightly to your chest, "It turns out he spiked my drink."

Bucky looked at you with surprised eyes, filled with pity. "He was so close to..." You trailed off and realized that a tear was slipping down your cheek. Bucky scooted closer to you and wiped the tear off your face and smiled at you. You gave him a faint smile and continued, "Thankfully I told Steve about the party before I left and mom found out I wasn't home and Steve had to come and get me. If he had been there a few minutes later I would've been..." I trailed off again. 

"It's OK, doll, you don't need to finish." Bucky rubbed your back and you leaned on his shoulder, trying not to cry. "How about we play some board games, yeah?" Bucky asked as he grabbed your shoulders and looked into your eyes. You nodded solemnly and gave him a small smile. 

Bucky and Steve got out of the tent and went to grab some board games and you sat in the tent with Sam laying his head on your lap. You stroked the Sams' fluffy head and waited for Steve and Bucky to come back with some games. 

After a few minutes, they came back with Monopoly and Checkers. You played Monopoly first and you won of course, and then you played Checkers, which you weren't very good at. "What!?" You yelled. You were playing against Steve, who apparently was a Checkers god. "How are you so good at this game?" You sulked and threw your head back in anger, "Ughhhhhhh." You groaned. "Alright, well I'm going to go to the bathroom, tell me when your done sulking." Steve left the tent and it was just you, Bucky, and Sam.

"So..." You said, thinking of something to say.

"So," Bucky said and turned to you with a boyish smile on his face. 

"Why are you smiling at me?"

"Because you're cute."

Your eyes widened and you turned away, trying to hide your blush, "Whatever Buck..." Bucky opened his mouth to say something but then Steve entered the tent. "What'd I miss?" He asked as he sat down. You touched your hands to your face and realized it was still burning. "Why is your face so red, Y/N?" Steve asked, looking at you with a worried expression on your face, "Are you sick?"

"No!" You answered, a little too quickly, "It's just hot in here." Steve narrowed his eyes at you but shrugged it off and said, "I brought some more games. You guys want to play?" Steve asked. You all agreed and started playing a game called Life. You tried to focus on the game while playing but couldn't get Bucky out of your head. 'He called me cute?' You screamed in your head, 'He must be playing a joke on me... right?' But then it occurred to you, 'He was... technically... flirting with me the other night?' Then you had a sudden realization.

'Wait, does he like ME?'

Sorry, this chapter is kind of wack and kind of short. I hope you enjoyed it either way! Also, I'm sorry about the whole not having a schedule for uploading, but I just have other things I need to do in life. But don't worry! I will definitely finish this book!
