A love triangle of sorts happens between you, Steve and Bucky.
For months you dated Steve, he broke your heart, for some time after you still helped Steve out.
Until one day, helping Steve got you in trouble and you had no one to turn too because e...
The sun shinning in the window the next morning woke you up, you had the familiar ache that sat on your heart, you rolled over and stared at your phone no notifications. Realisation hit you and it was Tony's funeral tomorrow, you let yourself be sad but you knew he'd want anything but everyone being sad.
You put on a tracksuit and decided you'd go for a jog, you slipped your headphones on and found a workout playlist on your iPod, it was upbeat music which motivated you to push yourself, you lost track of time and then made your way back to the tower.
"Where is she?" Bucky asked as he sat around the table with Steve and Sam, "she went out for a jog, erm some time ago?" Steve said, "did she not take her phone?" Bucky asked, "I don't know?" Steve said, "she went out almost two hours ago and left her phone in her room." Sam said taking a drink.
Bucky looked at Sam and nodded, "Thanks.", "we are going to our hotel. We will see you tomorrow." T'Challa said, "See you tomorrow your majesty." Steve and Sam said, Bucky nodded and smiled.
Some time later Steve, Sam & Bucky heard the door open and close, "honestly Buck, she's not in a good way." Steve said, "she'll be okay." Bucky said, "$10.00 she jumps on you." Sam smirked, "I might as well give you the $10.00 now." Bucky smirked, "I honestly don't think she will." Steve said.
Bucky watched as you walked past, he saw that you were wearing his hoodie that he'd snuck into your suitcase before you left, his heart warmed. "HEY, Y/N." Sam shouted, as Bucky got off his chair.
Bucky watched as you turned around, shock all over your face. "I really hope you've washed that since you've been back Doll." Bucky said.
"HEY, Y/N." You heard Sam shout, your turned around and saw Bucky standing next to him, your face turned into one of shock. "I really hope you've washed that since you've been back doll." Bucky said, without saying a word you sprinted towards Bucky and jumped onto him:

Bucky stood firm as your bodies collided, you snuggled your head into his neck and wrapped your arms around him as tightly as you could. Bucky had his left arm around your waist and the right hand went up to your head.
You scrambled your brain for words, actual words to say but nothing came out, you didn't ever want to leave this embrace. "I've missed you Doll." Bucky whispered into your ear, still you couldn't form and words, he began laughing and continue to whisper in your ear.
Steve for the dozenth time watched his best friend successfully steal the heart of the girl he should have ended up with. Although he was happy for them he couldn't help but feel jealous, a part of him knew he could break it up by mentioning a sentence that has already been ushered between the two of you. Neither Bucky nor you wanted to ruin Bucky's friendship with Steve.
You went and got into the shower, you changed your clothes and then cooked some food for you and the guys, just being in Bucky's presence made you, it made you okay again, you were hurting because of Tony's funeral, but you finally had Bucky back.
As you and the guys were watching a film you feel asleep as you say next to Bucky with you legs across his lap, he picked you up bridal style and carried you to the guest room, he laid you down kissed the top of your head and tucked you in.
Bucky walked back into the lounge, Steve and Sam had a hushed conversation that seemed to get heated. "You two alright?" Bucky asked as he got a beer from the fridge. "Yeah everything's great." Steve said sarcastically, "yeah everything great aside from the fact Steve tried to hit on Y/N last night." Sam said, Bucky's gaze darkened.
He stalked towards Steve, Sam stood in the way knowing there wasn't really much he could do if Bucky or Steve wanted to do anything. "You what?" Bucky said in a low growl, Steve took a step back. "It was a stupid decision, I wanted to ensure she wouldn't hurt you. I put my arm around her shoulders, she took it off straight away and walked away." Steve said, "what else Steve because I know that mouth of hers wouldn't stay quite." Bucky said, "she told me you had her heart. And that she loved you." Steve said know against the fridge with Bucky in front of him.
His metal arm twisted, "I ask why him and not me." Steve said with a gulp, "why would you do that?" Bucky asked, "because he would never break my heart. Not in a million years. Your strong enough without me but I couldn't be without you. And she was right, I can't lose you Buck, I cant lose her either." Steve said, Bucky punched the fridge. "She is not yours anymore Steve. She's not yours to toy with. Not yours to hurt anymore." Bucky said.
You'd woken up because you heard a loud bang, you got out of your bed and walked into the kitchen still half asleep. "Buck, where are you sleeping tonight?" You asked rubbing your eyes.
"Bucky where are you sleeping tonight?" You heard from the living room. Bucky instantly dropped his arm and his body relaxed, he looked over to see your face, he looked back and saw Steve's face, he saw how broken he was. His heart beat inside his chest, Bucky new Steve was right when he said he wasn't strong without Bucky. He took a deep breathe and ran his hands through his hair.
"I'm staying at the hotel with Princess and T'Challa." Bucky said staring Steve in the eyes. "Oh okay. I'll see you in the morning." You said walking towards Bucky, you kissed him on the cheek and walked back to your bed.
Bucky turned to Steve, "you better get her out your mind. I'll stay away from her as long as you do. You can't hurt her anymore Steve, I won't let you. If you hurt her again, you'll lose us both." Bucky said.
He knew he would live to regret what he said, they loved each other but like they'd known from the beginning, Steve was going to stand in the way of that. Bucky went back to the hotel and Shuri greeted him as he walked into the lobby.
"Sergeant Barnes, how did it go? Did you tell her?" Shuri beamed. Bucky shook his head, "I did the opposite. I told Steve I would leave her alone as long as he did. I didn't want him to hurt her anymore." Bucky admitted, Shuri stood there mouth agap. "Why did you do that Buck?" She asked, "Because Y/N told Steve he wasn't strong enough to be without me. And she was right, I can be without Steve but he can't be without me, he's never been without me or without looking for me." Bucky said. "Wow, it's like Romeo and Juliet without the killing at the end. You both need to decide whether it's worth it. Your only going to have her for her life time. You and Steve will live long after that." Shuri reminded Bucky, Bucky nodded. "night Princess." He said.
