Find Me / Save Me (Bucky x Reader)

Two

"Goodnight" they say in unison. Dammit these two were always so in sync. This backfired on me.

"Ok. Goodnight gentleman." And with that I close the door and head to my bed for some much needed rest.

Bucky's POV

I could barely say anything to her since she came into the waiting room. She's been playing this whole thing off like nothing happened. And I'm furious. I'm upset and angry with her. I don't know what to say or how to say it.

I can barely understand all these emotions. I'm relieved she's ok. Thank goodness, I wouldn't know how to react if that weren't the case. But the way she tries to play it off... I can't let it go. It boils my blood. Makes me want to shake her and tell her that I can't afford to lose her.

That's it. I can't afford to lose her. I'm in love. These feelings I've been trying to hide for so long, I can't hide them anymore. I'm in love with her. And now I'm afraid that anything can happen to her, and that I'll lose her.

Once we get to her apartment door and she opens the door she spins around and points daggers with her eyes to me and Steve. She's been trying to reason with us since we left the hospital. "Guys. I get it. Your giving me the silent treatment. But I am ok.... I'm home now. I'm fine. Now you guys can either be nice and come inside for a cup of tea like nothing is wrong. Or you can just say goodnight and leave. What's it going to be?" She states matter of factly, putting her hands on the door frame.

"Goodnight" I hear myself say, Steve said it too. We're both pretty upset. Not really ready to let this go. With that she says goodnight and closes the door on us.

As Steve and I start walking away from her door, Steve is the first to break the silence. "We can't stay mad at her forever. Especially since you're leaving soon."

I do a double take and stare at Steve like he just caught me in bed with a girl. "How'd you know?" I say pretty taken aback.

"I noticed the uniform, I know in all the mess you probably forgot about it, and (Y/N) didn't even seem to notice." He stated ever so simply.

"Oh. Yeah. Right" I said feeling pretty stupid. "I was planning on telling you Steve, surprising you and (Y/N) after you guys got out of the movie. But then everything kind of changed when I saw you two in the ally. Sorry bud."

"I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later Buck. Glad to see you got what you wanted. Are you going to tell (Y/N) soon?" Steve says looking at my seriously. "You know she's going to take it hard buddy. She won't be happy about it."

"I'll tell her at the Expo. I know we're all still going. Angry or not. It'll be the day right before I head out. I'll tell her then." I say rubbing my hand on my neck.

"Oh that's going to be interesting" said Steve with a snarky look on his face. "Shut up stupid!" I joke, jabbing him with my elbow.

"See you at the Expo Buck." Steve says with a chuckle and walks towards his home, as I turn and do the same.

-.-.-.-

"Women are only good for one thing..." I bolt upright, covered in sweat. It was just a bad dream. Your safe in bed. It felt so real.

You get out of bed and go make yourself a cup of tea, taking a glance at the clock in the kitchen to see it was 4:30 AM. No use in going back to bed now. Might as well do some housework. Get your mind off things.

After spending much of the day tidying things up, I realize today's the Expo. I was going with Steve and Bucky. But after the cold shoulder they gave you last night you weren't too sure if that was still on.
