“Oh shit, Steve is coming! Steve IS COMING!” Pietro shouted as he ran into the common room.
Everyone jumped up in panic, “Where is (Y/N)?!” Clint shouted.
“Someone hide her!” Sam screamed, freaking out.
“We have to find her first to hide her, you bird brain!” Bucky shouted back.
“Okay, that’s it!” Sam took a step towards Bucky, but Wanda stepped between them.
“Children,” She mocked, “We gotta find (Y/N) first.”
“I’ll check her room,” Natasha said and jogged out of the room.“I got the gym,” Sam followed her to the door.
Everyone ran around the tower to find (Y/N) before she could see Steve.
All of that had started a month ago, when the two broke up. They didn’t have an unsolvable problem, actually they were madlyin love, but both of them being their stubborn selves, they ended up splitting. They were like ice and fire, so opposite from each other. That didn’t stop them from falling in love though.
“WHY CAN’T YOU STILL CAN’T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN’T GIVE ME ORDERS, GRANDPA?!” Everyone heard (Y/N) shout somewhere in the hall.
Oh no. They all thought. (Y/N) and Steve fighting was something no one wanted to witness.They all ran to see the two. There was a scene none of them was unfamilier with; both of them screaming at each other.
“WHY CAN’T YOU STILL UNDERSTAND THAT I AM THE CAPTAIN, (Y/N)-”
“OH, GET OVER YOURSELF!”
“Guys, uh-” Tony tried to interrupt the two.
“I AM NOT THE ONE SEEING SOO HIGHLY OF MYSELF!”
“AND I AM, MR. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?” (Y/N) shouted back with a mock.
“Guys, why don’t we all just chill-” Clint tried to speak, but he was cut off by the two.
“SHUT UP!” They both shouted at the same time before continuing screaming at each other.
Thor tried to step in, but it only got more complicated and messed up. When no one else could stop the fight, Natasha came up with a brilliant idea.
“BUCKY HURT HIS LEG TODAY!” She shouted, all of a sudden they both shut up and Steve gave all his attention to her.
“What? Is he alright? Where is he-” All of a sudden he was just a worried emotional guy.
“Okay (Y/N), why don’t we just go get some air?” Pietro said before picking her up even though she protested and zoomed out.
“Where is Buck-”
“Right here, pal.” Bucky said with a smirk, walking to him.
Steve turned to Bucky, “You seem-”
“Fine?” Bucky mocked.
“He is fine, I made that up to stop the madness.” Natasha said.
Steve took a deep breath, “Sorry about that.”
“I am not the one you should be apologizing to.”
“What?! She-”
“Hey! Save it Spangles!” Tony shouted before he could start again.
“We’re really tired with this shit, man.” Sam said.
Steve just rolled his eyes, “Tell her that.”
“Come on Steve, admit it you did-” Wanda tried to speak but Steve cut her off.
“You’re on her side?”
“I am not on any sides I-”
“Well I am on her side-”
“Excuse me? Steve was defineletly-”
Things got fucked up again. Who knew Avengers could act like actual 5 year olds?
“OKAY, THAT’S ENOUGH!” Steve shouted and everyone shut up. They all turned to him.
“I came to tell you that Sharon will stop by this afternoon.” Steve said calmly.
Clint couldn’t help but chuckle, “Well (Y/N) is gonna be so happy to hear that.” He mocked.
“Steve, that might not be such a good idea.” Sam said.
“You kidding? We’re gonna see a girl fight!” Tony said with a smirk.
Clint high-fived him as others kept arguing about it.
***
“Okay, you hate shopping. Why are you-” I tried to speak but Natasha cut me off.
“Well it’s necessary and you are the best in picking stuff so-”
“I don’t buy that. Why are you two trying to get me out of here?” I asked.
Wanda sighed. Natasha and her looked at each other before turning back to me.
“Steve is uh- gonna stop by this afternoon, and, umm he’s…” Wanda said.
“He’s what? He’s what?”
“Gonna bring Sharon with him.”
My jaw dropped. “SHARON? SHARON CARTER?!” I asked, really loud without noticing.
God, I could feel my blood boiling.
Bucky and Sam came in when they heard me literally scream.
Natasha and Wanda took a step back, “(Y/N)-”
“hE IS DATING THAT BITCH, ISN’T HE?!”
I turned to Bucky and Sam, they raised their hands in defense.
“YOU…” I pointed at Bucky.
“’(Y/N) STEVE DOESN’T EVEN CARE ABOUT SHARON’ ‘(Y/N) YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE JELAOUS’ “ I mimicked the things he said back when me and Steve were dating and I got jelaous of Steve and Sharon.
“Okay, doll, look-”
I grabbed the pillow, the first thing I got my hands on and started hitting him with it.
“YOU ASSHOLE KNEW ABOUT THIS!”
Bucky let me hit him with the pillow a few times, then grabbed the pillow and threw it out of my reach. Then he grabbed me, wrapped his arms around me, my back against his front. He kept me steady as I struggled to get out of his reach in anger.
It took me a few minutes to calm down and stop trying to punch or kick anyone.
“You done?” He asked and I nodded.
When he let go of me, I crossed my arms, not knowing what to do. I still had so much anger in me I couldn’t sit down.I paced around the room as others tried to talk to me.
“I need vodka, like, right now.”
Tony brought me a drink quickly. I drank up. Now everyone was with me, waiting to see how I will react.
“You know what? I can deal with that!” I said when I finished my drink.
“Because, I am over him. And that, my friends, are called… the closure.” I said as I turned to the team. They were looking at me with worried expressions.
“…He can stick that patriotic-little-thing-of-his in anyone he wants!”
Okay, now I was losing it.
Clint and Natasha brought me up to my room and made me watch a movie to calm down. Then they left me and went downstairs, probably to say hi to Sharon. I stayed in my room alone, not sure what to do. Should I be downstairs, to show them that I am on over him? But I can’t. I can’t stand the idea of him with her.
As an hour passed, I started getting angry at the others because they had left me up in my room, all alone as they sat down, had a good time with Sharon. Okay. I have to do something.
I got up from my bed and grabbed my phone. I quickly called Jason, an old friend of mine from back in the old SHIELD days. He was not only so god damn attractive, he was arrogant, cocky, rebellious. Steve used to hate the guy.
“I need a quick favor, no questions asked.” I said when he picked up.
“Hello to you to (Y/L/N).” He responded sarcastically.
“You have to come to the tower and act like you came to pick me up for our date, like, right now.”
“What-“
“I said no questions asked!”
“Okay, you’ll own me one. Be ready in 10.”
“You got it.” We hung up and I dressed up as fast as I could. I took a while more than 10 because I had to look really good. I checked up myself up in the mirror one last time before rushing downstairs to the common room, where I told him to come.
When I walked in, Jason was already inside talking to everyone. “I am so sorry for keeping you waiting.” I said as I walked over to him. He put his arm around me and kissed my cheek, “It’s okay, babe. Let’s get going we’re late for our reservation.”
Everyone was looking at us in shock, “Sorry I forgot to tell you guys! I told Jason to come up to say hi to all of you before we went out…” I said casually with a smile.
“Oh! Hi Sharon! Sorry, I didn’t get the chance to say hi trying to get ready.” I gave her a quick hug.I was fake as hell and just hoped I was a good actress.
“Hi, it’s uh-okay.” She responded, she was clearly surprised too.I looked up at Steve to see his reaction. His jaw was clenched as he stared at me and Jason.
Checkmate, Rogers.
Jason and I left everyone still in shock. I started laughing in the elevator, “We did it! Did you see the looks on their faces?”
“Still need an explanation here sweetheart. I thought you and Rogers were-“
“Yeah that’s over. I needed to get back at him, because he got together with Sharon real quick.”
He chuckled, “And you chose me because you knew it would freak him the hell out.”
“Exactly.”
“I’ve always liked your thinking. So what do you say we find a bar and be each other’s wing man, like the old days. Maybe you’ll get an actual date.” He said with a small smile.
“Sure.” I smirked. It was going to be a fun night.
A/N: Sorry for keeping all of you waiting, I promise I’ll try to be faster. By the way I was going to write more to this part but I wanted to post this because there were too many of you requesting it soon. So I had to save the exiciting parts for later, I promise you’re gonna love part 4:)
I didn’t know where to go. I didn’t want to go home to the tower because everyone was going to come up and ask how it went, and I am pretty sure they could tell how fucked up I was.
I didn’t want anyone to see me like this. I drove around the city for a while, trying to think of some place to park. I found a parking lot and I just parked there. I walked out the parking lot, and just kept walking. I looked around as I walked, and man, New York was beautiful.
I tried to not think, clear my mind. I couldn’t. I felt tears in my eyes, how could he do this?
I saw a bar across the street, that made me stop and think. Getting wasted would be such a cliche, after getting my heart broken but it felt like a good idea. I needed my mind to stop torturing me so I walked across the street and entered the bar.
I sat on the bar stool, waited for the bartender to notice me.
“Hello, what can I get you?”
“Hi, um- what should I get to get drunk as fast as possible?” I asked him.
“Okay…let’s see. Probably tekila shots.”
“Then tekila shots it is.”
“How many?”
I really didn’t know much about these stuff.
“Uhh…”
“New to this stuff I see. I’ll get you a few and we’ll see how it goes.”
I gave him a shy smile. He left to prepare the drinks. I checked my phone.
A missed call from Steve.
I knew they were going to start looking me, they could even track my phone.
I turned the ghost mod on. I didn’t feel like talking to anyone about this.
The bartender brought me my drinks. I took the first shot, feeling my throat burning. No matter how awful it tasted, I took the other one, then the other one…
“Hey! Bartender!” I called out to the bartender.
“Hey, hi!” I said when he noticed me. “I think I need more, I don’t feel anything.”
“They usually hit after a while I don’t think you should-“
“I said I want more.”
“Okay, calm down. More it is.”
I drank more, then my vision became blurry, my mind felt a little…weird?

writer’s pov
“I called her 5 times, she is not picking up.” Steve said to Bucky on the phone.
“Did you tell Tony to track her phone?” Bucky asked him.
“He said he couldn’t because she put it on the ghost mode.”
“Fuck.”
“Calm down man we’re gonna find-“
“I’ll find her Steve. I got this, don’t tell anyone anything.”
“But-“
“Just trust me on this.”
“Okay man. Call me to let me know how it goes.”
“I will.” Bucky hung up the phone. He had the urge to throw it across the room, but he managed to stay calm.
He grabbed the keys to his motorcycle, he knew she wasn’t going to want to see him. But he had to tell her. He knew he should just let her go, think that she is going to move on anyway but he couldn’t help it. He had to talk to her.
He knew her way too well. Finding her was easier for him than anyone else. He knew she was smart, she didn’t want to be found so she wouldn’t be in any place known. She was somewhere new, somewhere she just happend to find by chance. She also had to park somewhere, and finding a parking space in the city was very hard. So she must have found a parking lot, or a garage.
He had to ride around for almost two hours before he found the right parking lot. He left his motorcycle to the same place he found her car in, then he started searching for her on foot.
He walked around, looking inside every bar, cafe and restaurant trying to find her.
He moved as fast as he could but that took him another hour. When he finally saw her, inside that small bar he ran inside immediately.
He was shocked to see her like that. (Y/N) didn’t even like drinking.
Her eyes widened when they met his blue ones. He walked towards her, she walked backwards.
She pushed him away, stumbling backwards. “No!” She pouted like a little kid.
“Are you drunk?” He asked, trying to hold her steady so she wouldn’t fall.
“Don’t touch me!” She shouted and pushed his hands away, stumbling few more steps backwards.
He raised his hand in peace, “Okay, okay, just calm down.”
“Stay…away from ME. You got it?” She mumbled.
“Okay- just listen to me, alright?”
“NO! I don’t want to!” She whined like a 5 year old, pushing him away again.
“Then just let me take you home.”
“You? You go take that-that girl home.” She said, her eyes tearing up.
“Hey, I can explain-“
“No! I don’t want to hear anything!”
She sat back on the bar stool, “Bring more, Hal!” she called out to the bartender.
“You’ve had enough.” Bucky said, trying to reach her but she wouldn’t allow him.
“Your friend is right Miss.”
“What? He is not even my friend, friend.” She chuckled. “When I say I want tequila, I want tequila.”
Bucky didn’t know what to do. He was going to just carry her outside but that would have caused a scene, so he was trying to think of another way.
Hal, the bartender didn’t bring her more because of the scary look Bucky gave him.
“You know what Hal? Fuck-you! I’ll go dance then,”
She got back up from the bar stool, she almost fell down but Bucky caught her.
Her sight was so blurry she felt like the whole world was spinning.
When she pulled herself together she tried pushing him away but he didn’t allow her this time.
“Let me go! I hate- I hate-you.” She managed to mumble. She was getting weaker and weaker, she was about to pass out from that much of alcohol.
Her eyes closed, so he held her by the waist. He payed her bill then grabbed her things before picking her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder. “You smell good.” she said weakly.
“I hate you.” She added.
Bucky didn’t respond as he walked out the bar, carrying her.
“And you hate me too.”
“I don’t hate you.” He responded.
“Then why did you…why did you leave me?” Her voice came out like a whisper.
“I didn’t leave- how could I leave my best girl?”
She didn’t respond. He thought she finally passed out, he sadly was wrong.
He took a cab and took her to his place because it was closer. She kept asking questions about that girl and wouldn’t shut up about it. One minute she would tell Bucky how fucking much she hated him and in the next minute she would tell how beautiful his eyes were.
When they got out of the cab he was about to pick her up again, but she didn’t allow him.
“I can walk on my own!” She got mad like a little girl and took a few steps before stumbling.
Bucky caught her by her waist again, “Guess I can’t.” she giggled.
“Wooo!”Bucky picked her up and carried her inside the building, to his apartment. When they entered to his apartment he took her straight to bed. He placed her on his bed, took off her shoes.
“I made you pancakes, you know.” She mumbled as he put a blanket over her.
“But I threw them at your door because you’re such a fucking jerk.” He tried to ignore her, he knew it wouldn’t be right to discuss it when she is that drunk.
He grabbed his phone to call Steve. “Who are you calling? Is it that-that bitch?” Bucky rolled his eyes, turning away to walk out the door.
“Noo! Don’t leave me alone.” He sighed, running his hand through his hair.
He walked back towards the bed and sat next to her. “I won’t leave, I promise. You just go to sleep, okay?”
“I don’t want to sleep, I have to tell you something!”She said, very excited.
“I will listen when you’re sober, let’s just-“
“I am sober! I am juuusst fine.”
“Okay- yeah, sure you are. How about I listen to you when you wake up?”
“But I am not sle-“
“But I am,” He lied, “I am so sleepy, we can’t talk right now. How about we talk after we wake back up?”
“Okay!” She giggled, and shut her eyes immediately. He didn’t expect it to be that easy honestly.
Her breathing slowed down, he knew she fell asleep. She looked so gorgeous, he couldn’t believe it.
-will be continued- please let me know what you think!
I took a deep breath and looked at the clock on my wall. It was 6:05, which was when I usually woke up around. But this morning I didn’t want to wake up. I buried my head back into my pillow, pulling the blanket all the way up.
I didn’t want to wake up to a morning without him.
It felt weird thinking something like this. I sounded like someone madly in love, maybe I was. I wouldn’t know if I was honestly. I never had that kind of experience.
It was just different with Bucky. I wanted to be around him, help him, talk to him…I just wanted to see him again. The last few days were terrible for me. I kept thinking about our fight, I was so sad and angry at the same time.
He had left me, without a good bye.
I was also angry at myself for saying those things I never meant.
I felt my eyes burning again, I wish I could just go back to sleep.
I spent about half an hour trying to fall asleep again, then I heard my phone ringing.
It was Steve.
“Hey.” I picked it up.
“Morning, I knew you’d be up.”
“Mornin’, yeah I couldn’t sleep.”
“Why don’t you join our morning run? Sam and I are about to leave.”
“Uh…I kinda feel tired Steve. I’ll join you guys tomorrow.”
“Are you okay?”
This was like my 50th time hearing this from him and the others. They had noticed I hadn’t been leaving my room and waking up early in the morning like I did before Bucky left.
“Yeah, it’s just that I stayed up late.” I said, taking a deep breath.
He probably didn’t buy it.
We hung up and I buried my head back in my pillow.
I wondered if he still woke up early. Did he make himself breakfast? He didn’t use to have breakfast before I started cooking.
Did he like his new place? Did he think about me, maybe miss me?
Was he still angry at me?
I massaged my forehead, I felt my eyes watering.
I took a deep breath, I didn’t want to cry again.
I closed my eyes and did my best to fall back asleep.
When someone knocked on the door, I woke up immediately.
I checked the time, 8:42.
“Hey, it’s me.” I heard Steve call out from the other side of the door.
“The door is open, come in.” I said, sitting up, still in bed.
Steve opened the door, walked towards my bed. “I liked having you with us in our morning runs, you know.”
I gave him a small smile as he sat down on my bed.
“I will be back as soon as possible Cap.”
He smiled back at me.
There was a moment of silence before he spoke again.
“I have been worrying about you, I mean, we all have. Do you want to talk about it?”
I saw that coming.
“Well, I…I am okay. I have just been-you know, since what happend-“
“With Bucky?” He asked.
“Yes,” I answered, looking into his blue eyes before continuing.
“It was just- I don’t know. I am confused.”
“Do you have feelings for him?”
That was a question I avoided asking myself, because I was afraid of the answer.
“Maybe…I don’t know Steve.”
I told Steve about our fight with Bucky.
“…I didn’t mean those things, I would never say anything like that you know.”
“Stop beating yourself up about what you said, you said those things out of anger. I am sure Bucky will understand that.“
Steve assured me that it was all going to fine for almost an hour, he listened to me and I told him everything.
Sometimes I wondered what I did to deserve such a good as Steve in my life.
“You should talk to him.”
“All of you told me I shouldn’t-“
“I never said that,” He smiled a little. “Listen…I get why the others don’t want you to be that close with Bucky. I try to understand them, they’re just worried about you. But I know Bucky would never hurt you.”
“But he doesn’t want to see me.”
“He says he doesn’t, I don’t buy it. I saw how he was around you, (Y/N). I saw the way he looked at you. I haven’t seen him like this since 1940.”
Steve’s words made my heart skip a beat.
“So you think I should…”
He saw the little piece of paper which he wrote Bucky’s address on a week ago on my night stand.
He grabbed it and handed it to me.
“Let me know how it goes.” He smiled.
I hugged him tightly, “Thank you, Steve.”
“Don’t mention it. Just be careful while driving, okay?”
Steve left me to get ready.
I got up from my bed, washed up and changed quickly. I put on a little make up and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I grabbed my purse, jacket and car keys before heading out.
I went downstairs to the kitchen first. I quickly cooked chocolate chip pancakes and packed them. They were Bucky’s favorite.
I rushed down to the garage and got in my car.
I was exicited, I thought about what I was going to say on my way over to his place.
When I was finally inside the building he lived in, I felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest.
I reached his floor and got out of the elevator. I tried to see which was the apartment number 21 but I couldn’t see it so I walked down the hole. I was too busy checking the numbers on the doors I didn’t see the blond girl walking towards the opposite direction.
I hit her on the shoulder accidentally.
“Watch where you going.” She said harshly before walking away without looking at me.
I looked down the corridor, there was only one apartment she could just have left.
Number 21.
I looked back at her, she was a pretty woman with long blond hair. She was holding her high heels in her hands, her hair was messy…
No.
She was just out of hisapartment.
I felt paralyzed.
No.
I wanted to kick something, scream as loud as I could.
I covered my mouth with my hand, trying my best to hold myself from crying.
I barely could get out of bed since he left and this was what he was doing?
He did not give a fuck about me.
I threw the bag of pancakes I made for him at his door. It hit the door with a loud thud.
I turned my back and started to leave. I heard footsteps from inside the apartment so I ran down the stairs.
I ran all the way back then threw myself in my car. I started the engine, biting my tongue to stop myself from crying.
I didn’t know how I even drove back safely back to the tower.
***
writer’s point of view
Bucky heard a loud thud on the door, which made him turn back to the door.
He thought Sierra, the girl he just met forgot something.
When he opened the door, no one was there. He saw a paper bag on the ground, he picked it up and looked inside.
Chocolate chips pancakes, his favorite.
Just like (Y/N) used to cook for him.
She was here.
He understood what happend quickly. She came to see him and she saw Sierra. No, no.
He dropped the bag and ran as fast as he could downstairs. He got out the building, and looked around to see her.
She wasn’t there.
“FUCK!” He shouted before kicking the trash can. He ran his hands through his hair.
Sierra didn’t even mean anything to him. He was only with her so he could forget about (Y/N). He was forcing himself to be with someone, he thought it would be helpful to get over her.
He loved her. He just couldn’t be with her because he thought she deserved better.
A/N: I hope you like it. Let me know if you wanna read the rest.
“Want some breakfast?” I asked Bucky, breaking the silence, which made me feel uncomfortable.
He looked up at me, his blue eyes had confusion in them at first, he was really tense.
“No, thanks.” He answered before turning his head back to the notepad Steve gave him.
Steve had written little notes from their past for him to read so he could remember his old life better.
It had been a few months since Bucky started staying with us at the tower. He would go on missions with the team, other than that he would be with Steve. He didn’t really talk to anyone else except ‘good mornings’ and ‘thank you’s.
We all knew what he had been through so none of us knew how to act around him. He was always serious unless it was Steve and him. When he first came a few of us tried to start a conversation but then gave up eventually.
I just felt weird around him. I don’t know what words I could use to describe the feeling I had when he was around.
What he went through was unbelievable, the man himself was unbelievable. He was so strong, he was holding up fine, -well, doing his best- after all those years of misery.
I felt the urge to talk to him, I was curious about him. I wondered what he remembered of his old life, or if he remembered the things Hydra made him do. But of course I never asked.
Bucky and I always got up early in the mornings, I would often walk into the kitchen finding him reading the new pages Steve wrote, or with a book Tony gave him.
I offered him breakfast every time he was there, which was almost every morning.
He never said yes.
I finally got the courage to say something. I wouldn’t say anything back usually because I didn’t know how would he react.
“You are missing out on my pancakes, that’s a big loss, you should now.” I said with a small smile.
He looked up at me, directly into my eyes. I could see that he was surprised.
He took a moment to respond.
“Uh- I could have some I guess.”
I made chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes, we didn’t talk during that. He really liked them, and thanked me like 3 times.
That was the day we started talking. After that morning, I started making breakfast for two every morning.
We had small talks about what I cooked that day, it was regular things like how we liked our coffe or eggs. It became a thing, he would make the coffe and I cooked whatever we thought of that morning.
After a while, he started inviting me to his morning runs with Steve. With time, we started talking more. He never talked about himself, I was usually the one doing the talking. He would always listen with interest, and smile once in a while when I made stupid jokes.
The team started to notice it, Steve and Sam were happy about it. Steve even came up to me and thanked me, he thought I made Bucky happier. The others were not so happy about it.
I was their youngest, they felt protective of me I guess.
“You don’t know what could happen with him, (Y/N). He could-“
“Tony, no. I don’t think he is ever gonna’ hurt me.”
It wasn’t just Tony. They would come up to me and drop hints saying I should keep a distance.
I didn’t listen to anyone. When I looked at him, I saw a broken man. I loved talking to him, helping him catching up with the 21st century. I felt like he would be the last person to hurt me.
Months passed, we became really close. He still didn’t talk much about his self, but he became comfortable around me. I got to see him smile more. Being around him made me really happy.
One night, when I was laying on my bed with my notepad, sketching the view outside my window there was a knock on my door.
I was surprised, I didn’t expect anyone.
“It’s me.”
I knew I would recognize his voice anywhere. I sat properly, “Come in Buck,”
He walked in, he had his sweatpants and a black tshirt on. His hair was pulled into a bun. He was sweaty, so I guessed he was just out of the gym.
“Wha-“
“I need to talk to you.”
I got up quickly, “What-What’s wrong?”
He shut his eyes for a moment. He seemed he didn’t want to talk at all.
“I…I don’t think we should hang out anymore.”
I furrowed my eyebrows. That surprised me. I crossed my arms on my chest.
“What do you mean? Are you- breaking up our friendship?” I said with a nervous laugh.
“I am not good for you.” He said with a serious, harsh voice.
“What-that’s-“
“I am not even good for me. I am dangerous. That scar on your wrist is the proof, so don’t bother telling me otherwise.”
I had a scar on my left arm, because I woke him up from his nightmare the other day he still thought his nightmare was real and he grabbed me by my arm, pushed me against the wall with reflex.
“That’s ridiculous, Bucky how many times did we talk about this?”
“It’s not. Are you listening to me?..”
We got into an argument. I never get mad easily, but when I do, I can’t control my mouth.
I said things I would never say, and didn’t mean any word. But they did leave my mouth after all.
“…I done trying for you, you know what? You’re the one abonding me. It’s not like I am the one who needs you.”
I felt sorry the moment I said it.
Why did I always talk without thinking?
He looked at me in the eyes. I knew I had to say something.
I didn’t mean that. Of course I need you. I am not done.
When I took a step towards him, he turned his back and slammed the door.
I took breaths, trying to calm myself down. I couldn’t hold my tears back, I needed to talk to him. I knew he would be angry now so I decided to wait for the morning.
I tried to sleep, assuring myself we would talk next morning, it would all be okay.
When I woke up in the morning, it was even earlier than it usually is. I got up quickly and washed up, changed my clothes before rushing to the kitchen.
He wasn’t there. I made his favorite, bacon with scrambled eggs. Then I sat down, waiting for him.
When someone walked in, I quickly turned, thinking it was him.
It was Steve. Steve would wake up an hour after us, so it got me worrying he wasn’t going to show up.
“Good mornin’.”
“Mornin’.”
He grabbed himself a banana and some milk before sitting down with me.
“Um- Bucky didn’t wake up early today. Did you see him?” I asked him.
“Did you forgot?” He asked.
“Forgot what?” I asked with confusion.
“He moved out last night. Wait- you didn’t know?”
My heart stopped for a moment.
How come I didn’t know about it? He did mention it weeks ago, but he never even told me if he found a place.
I couldn’t respond to Steve out of shock. I was hurt, he left without a good bye.
I got up quickly, “Steve, you need to give me his address. I have to talk to him.”
“(Y/N), hold on-“
Natasha walked in with Clint and Sam.
“What’s going on?”
I walked out the kitchen fastly to grab my purse and jacket. I heard Steve telling them about it.
“(Y/N), maybe you shouldn’t go now.” Natasha said.
“What? Why?”
Wanda, Vision and Tony also walked in and started listenung to us.
“He-he seemed very angry. I just don’t think it would be the best-“
“Well it’ll be fine.”
I took the piece of paper Steve handed me, it was Bucky’s address.
When I was just about to walk out the door, Tony grabbed my arm.
“What’s going on?” I asked, everyone seemed weird.
“We think you should listen to Nat. He said he doesn’t want to see you.”
I took a moment to let it sink in.
“…but-“
“You should just give it some time.” Natasha said, and they convinced me not to go.
I sat down with them quietly. I felt hurt, regret. But I just sat down.
I am so sorry I couldn’t be active lately. I seriously don’t know what’s wrong me. I have about 15 unfinished stories in my drafts but I have no idea how to continue them. Lately I don’t feel like doing anything. I cancel my plans, dates, and sit at home. I can’t even watch a movie or read a book without getting overwhelmed/bored.
I am truly sorry, I am seriously trying to write to not keep you guys waiting but I just can’t.
I hope to be back soon, I am trying to pull myself together.
I love you all, thank you for still following me! xo
Characters: The whole Avengers team (including Peter Parker), Bucky Barnes, Wade Wilson, Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones
Warnings:Cursing, alcohol, violence, lots of blood, mentions of self-harm, smut (eventually)
Summary: The reader is a powerful mutant possesing the ability of creating and manupulating fire. She was trained by her pyschotic-soviet-made mother all her childhood until her death. After setting the orphanage she was sent on fire by accident, she was found by Nick Fury. Nick Fury took her under his wing and treated her like his daughter, making her an agent of his own. As she becomes one of the most skilled, dangerous people on the world he makes her a part of the Avengers Initiative.
PS: I know this sounded like some serious-superhero-movie-like-fanfic, but it’s actually goofy. Lots of sass and sarcasm inclueded.
Marvel truly knows how to kill us, that’s for sure.
I’d like to say I didn’t start crying again, but that would be a lie.
If this is the definitive poster I’ll probably end up dying right in front of it at the cinema both before and after seeing the movie, because the relationship between Tony and Peter makes me so weak and emotional
You’re telling me this kiss was supposed to be in the movie but the Russo brothers decided to delete it? Why? Tony just spent five years mourning the death of his son, doing what he did not only for the greater good but to have back his kid, and I think it’s completely normal that, being overwhelmed by the relief for seeing Peter again, he would not only hug but also kiss him. The hug was amazing, but the kiss? That would have been the death of us, another small yet emotionally powerful detail that would have made us suffer even more the death of Tony and Peter’s reaction to it.
Also, that was not a completely different scene, they were only like what, five or six seconds after the original scene, so why delete it? I refuse to accept that they had no time to put it in the movie, so there had to be another reason. I don’t think it has something to do with the Starker shippers, mostly because at this point I think that everyone should have understood how theirs is the purest and softest father-son relationship ever (and probably they did not even knew there was someone out there shipping them), so I truly do not understand why, they’d better give us some valid motivation for mutilating such a perfect performance between Robert and Tom.
I hope they’ll show this scene in the dvd with all the other deleted scenes because we were robbed and we deserve to have these gifs in hd, especially since Far From Home will destroy what remained of us after Endgame.
It looks like the Armored Adventures fandom is reviving itself so I figured it was finally time to post these tfln edits I made actual years ago and then never got around to posting (and yes I have more)
I am completely losing my shit, these are so fucking funny. imaa shitposting is my favorite thing in the whole entire universe
