The Fire Between Us || Bucky x Reader

I heard beeping around me, I didn't recognize the smell, it was dark here, and the only sound was the machinery around me. I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in a hospital, it was dark outside. I looked to my left to find a bouquet of flowers in a vase, I turned to myself and found a man asleep in a chair. Shit, why is he here.

I looked around more, but nothing new, I grunted, and I saw Bucky open his eyes, I quickly shut mine. I heard him breathe, he started talking. "Y/N, I know you're awake, I'm not stupid, can you look at me?"

I opened my eyes and looked at him as he requested.

He got out of the chair and kneeled down next to me. "I was so worried, I thought I lost you" he took my hand in his and kissed it. "Since the day they told me you ran away, I couldn't stop searching." He looked me in the eyes, we stayed in silence until I spoke.

"Why did you look for me? I burnt you, James. I hurt you, I was pretty much useless." I felt a tear on my cheek.

"Because you're not useless, every day, from the moment I saw you, you were constantly on my mind, even tho we were constantly yelling at each other, and I acted like I hated you, I didn't want to talk to you, everyone always spoke good about you, but I never got to see that side of you because of how much of a shitty person I am."

"Bucky, I don't deserve you one bit, you're the super soldier, you save people, you're a gentleman, and you're different from everyone else, you're always caring about how people feel, you're always making sure people get what they deserve, you're always making sure this world is justified." I smiled at him.

He smiled back, I stared into the pretty blue eyes, and he stared at mine. "How long have I been here?"

"3 days"

"Do the others know that I'm here?"

"No, I haven't told them yet, they think I'm still on the search for you" he let go of my hand and brushed my hair with his right hand. "I can tell them I found you if you want to."

I just shook my head no and he understood. His phone started ringing, it was Stark. "I'll answer" he took the phone from the counter and answered it.

"Hello Tony" his voice was cold. "I'm fine don't worry about me." I could hear Tong speak but I couldn't make out the words "No I'm still on the lookout for her, why?" He took my hand and started brushing his thumb against my skin. "For fuck sake Tony, just because you and Steve told everyone doesn't mean I care about it right now, I do care about Steve but why are you asking me that?" After a few seconds. "Tony I have a person to find, goodbye." Tony didn't finish speaking tho. "Yes I know, I mine and her relationship are different, I don't bang her everywhere we go, and we haven't even kissed Tony." I blushed at his statement. "Stark go find Steve, when I find her you can tease me all you want, but now I don't have time." He pressed a button on his phone and placed it back on the counter next to me.

"Yeah they came out like a week ago, and now Tony won't shut up about it." I just smiled at him, but then my smile dropped. "Hey, what's wrong?" He took my hand in both of his hands.

"Am I a disappointment to you?"

"What? Why?"

"I mean, look at Tony and Steve, they're so happy together, showing their affection every possible moment."

"Hey, doll, you're not a disappointment, all those things they're doing make them less special because they're doing it all the time, every kiss should be special, it doesn't have to be just thrown in every now and then." He looked away and back to me. "And I do want to kiss you, but I want it to be special." He looked away again.

"James, are you blushing?"

"I'm not"

"Oh my God, you're blushing!"

"Shhh! It's 4 am"

"The sun is about to rise."

"Do, you want to watch it?"

"Well- Yeah I haven't seen it in a long time"

"But you love sunrises?"

"Yeah, but I couldn't look at it, knowing you're not there, next to me, watching it."

He just smiled at me "Okay that's fair enough."

"Y/N! I was so worried about you!" Wanda ran into me, hugging me tightly.

"Slow down, she just came out of the hospital," Bucky spoke to Wanda, firmly, his voice was cold.

"Oh right, sorry" she let go and smiled.

I just smiled back at her and Bucky led me to my room, everything was cleaned up. "Let me guess, you cleaned it up?"

"How did you know?"

"The blinds are down, the TV remote is next to the TV, and my bed is made in the same way as yours is." I smiled at him, he placed my bags down next to my closet.

"Well, I can make it in the way you do it if you wanna."

"No thanks," I looked at him "I like it this way."

"Well if you say so. And also I'm gonna take you out for dinner tonight, there is a new dress in your closet, I thought you might like it. Be ready by 7 okay?"

I was a little confused but smiled and unpacked my stuff. He left the room and as soon as the door closed I asked J.A.R.V.I.S to call Natasha and Wanda here, I'm gonna need help, it's almost 6 and I need to get ready, I took out the dress, it looked like a dress from the 40's magazine, I smiled and put it on. Nat and Wanda soon walked in and I told them about what was happening, they helped me to get ready, and not gonna lie, I actually felt pretty.
