"I just don't think I'll ever have the life I thought I'd have," "I thought I'd go off to war and come back a hero, settle down, have a few kids, you know, the simple life.

You came back from the Blip to a world that didn't wait for you. Your home is gone. Your job is filled. Your life... erased. Years pass in a daze as you drift through a city that no longer recognizes you. You try to rebuild, but nothing feels real. You're just surviving-until one night, in a dim bar on a quiet street, you hear a stranger's voice make a dry comment about dating apps and moon signs, and you laugh out loud without meaning to. That stranger turns his head. Blue eyes flick to yours. It's Bucky Barnes. You know who he is, of course. A ghost and a myth wrapped in a man. But to him? You're no one. Just a girl in a bar laughing too loud. What starts as a coincidence becomes a quiet pattern. You keep running into him-small moments, unexpected places. And somehow, that makes it easier.

"A gift." One guard says to someone else in the room as he leaves. I groan in pain and scrunch myself into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut. Seconds later I hear shuffling and then someone is beside me. "Y/N?" Asks a voice. No- Bucky's voice. My whole body relaxes and I let out a soft breath. He's ok. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Staying together has always been the most important thing to Y/N Rogers. After the death of her mother left her an orphaned 15-year-old, her friendship with her older brother Steve and best friend Bucky mattered more than ever. She latched onto them, finding some bittersweet solace in their closeness. In turn, they finished raising her. The three were inseparable. Even now, six years later, nothing has changed. So when Bucky and Steve both leave to fight in the war the last thing she's going to do is stay in Brooklyn. Nothing's too far if it keeps their trio together. Not leaving everything she knows behind, not shoving down feelings she's refused to acknowledge for years, not even risking her life time and time again. It's the kind of commitment fueled by an infinite amount of love, but guaranteed to end in disaster, every single time.

You were just focused, driven to go to college. You didn't seem like you had time for boys." He smiled, his fingers grazing just below your earlobe. "I didn't. But I might have if I knew you had a crush on me too." "You didn't deserve what that dickhead did to you." "I don't wanna talk about him anymore." You whispered, looking between Bucky's eyes and his lips as he spoke. His eyes flickered down to your lips. Then he was leaning forward. ------------------------------ #1 in jamesbuchananbarnes #8 in originalstory #2 in buckybarnesxoc #17 in roommates
