A/N: It’s just some fluffy/romantic story for my lovely Pandas & their challenge! @thepaperpanda
Summary: Action takes place before events from World War II. Bucky & Reader have a romantic dinner, but what happens later make Reader happy like never before.
You put on red dress to your knees and black high hills. You make your hair into a braid and check yourself in a mirror for one last time. Smokey eyes, red lips, contoured eyebrows. You can admit you look sexy. You also hope HE’S GONNA LIKE IT.
You are ready for your date with the most incredible and interesting man you know. James Barnes.
You arrive on the place before the time. You are a perfectionist and you are always on the time.
You have a long black coat on you, it’s a chilly evening on Brooklyn.
When you hear footsteps nearby, your muscles tense.
It only deepens when a pair of familiar hands is placed on your shoulders.
“Excuse me, ma'am, you got lost?” Strong voice whispers straight into your ear.
You feel a shiver running down your spine, and you smile in the darkness of the street.
“Maybe. Do you want to help me find a proper way?” You reach your hand back to stroke his nape.
You hear him purring deeply.
“Your ask is my command, ma'am,” he giggles softly turning you around to face him.
And you melt within a second only by looking him in the eyes.
James is ao handsome and you literally can’t take your eyes of him.
He has short dark hair, but they look so fluffy.
His eyes are in the color of a stormy ocean.
And that smile on his lips…
You feel little weakness in your knees, fortunately he offers you his arm.
“Shall we, doll?” His voice is so deep and you can’t resist, you nod.
“With a pleasure, handsome.”
He takes you to a cosy restaurant.
You’ve been there few times before, and you’re glad he picked this place.
He’s a real gentleman.
First, he takes your coat and his own jacket, he carries them to the cloakroom.
Subsequently, James moves chair backwards for you a bit and push it gently forward shortly after.
He takes a seat in front of you, on the opposite side of the table, that mischievous smile is still present on his lips.
After the waiter took your orders, you smirk at Barnes.
“You look fabulous,” James says, and you know he’s telling the truth.
You blush.
“Thank you, Buck…” In this moment your voice is as soft and quiet as a warm summer breeze.
The waiter brings a bottle of the most expensive champagne.
Bucky waves his hand briefly to give man a signal to go away, so waiter nod and disappears between other guests.
“I’m happy you agreed to meet with me,” he’s still smiling and with every second your heart is melting faster.
You’re playing with lock of your hair playfully.
“How could I say ‘no’, huh?” You wink at him.
Bucky laughs audibly sipping on his champagne. He reaches for your hand above the table and you both tangle fingers together.
Your heart’s skipping a beat strongly in your chest.
“I’ve never met someone like you before, Y/N,” Bucky’s eyes are glistening in the light of lamps hanging under the ceiling. “You’re the best. Smart and beautiful, and yet so shy,” brunette lowers his tone, “it turnes me on.”
He teases the bottom of your hand and you can’t help but chuckle softly.
“Oh, Bucky!” You raise your glass. “To us.”
“To us,” he repeats, then sips his alcohol to the bottom.
The dinner goes amazing.
You both are happy by spending time with each other. You talk and laugh, enjoying meals.
When the orchestra starts playing the waltz, Bucky gets up and asks you to dance.
He has his strong arms wrapped around your waist while one of your hands is placed on his shoulder, and other on the chest.
You nuzzle you cheek to his neck.
“It feels amazing, Bucky,” you whisper. “Thank you for all of this.”
You hear him breathing out loudly.
“No need to thank me. It’s you who made my evening the most wonderful ever.”
Barnes is rocking with you in his muscular arms to the rhythm of the music.
You can give everything to make this moment never end.
You close your eyes and inhale his scent.
He smells splendidly. It’s a mix of nice perfumes, sipped alcohol, cigarettes and something more, which you can’t name, but somewhere in the back of your head this smell is associated with freedom and sense of security.
You both are like that for few next minutes, until the song is over.
Then he leads you back to your table. You end dinner and another bottle of champagne.
“It’s getting late, my dear,” you say with sadness. “I have to go back home. I start work earlier tomorrow, besides I bet you also want to rest a bit before next day on duty, don’t you, soldier?” You slip hand under your chin to rest it on your palm.
Bucky gives a small nod.
“You’re absolutely right, doll. Let’s go.”
You both get outside.
The night is cold, little cloudlets of vapor are exhaled with every word you speak.
“You live close enough so we can take a walk there,” Bucky suggests and you eagerly agree.
He offers you his arm and you take it.
He chooses the walk by the promenade at the Hudson river. You both are walking slowly holding hands.
“I’m so glad we’re together, Bucky,” you say openly when you stop for a while to look at the river illuminated with city lights. “You know, I’ve never had a real relationship. My friends were warning me of you. But I didn’t listen.”
He wraps arm around your waist and pulls you closer to him.
“I’m glad, too. My girl is the most adorable doll in the whole world,” he leans down to you and crushes his lips on yours. He tastes wonderful. You give kiss back.
Bucky looks you deep in the eyes.
“You came down on me like summer rain, wearing nothing but your love Y/N. The shivers I get when you call my name, can’t explain this, Y/N.”
You feel like tears are forming in the corners of your eyes, and one of the run down your rosy cheek. James wipes it with thumb.
Oh, you are so in love with this guy!
“I want to see every sunrise in your eyes, Y/N. I want to see every sunset on your smooth skin,” Bucky caresses your cheeks gently, then he places next lovingly kiss on your lips.
You wrap arms around his neck pulling him deeper into the kiss.
“You’ve changed my life, Buck.”
He smirks and laughs subtly.
Suddenly he takes two steps backwards.
“Bucky?” You ask confused.
The familiar smile is still present on his lips when he reaches to the internal pocket of his jacket. He pulls a little square box, and it’s when your heart stops.
Since that moment you feel like you’d be watching the movie in slow motion.
“BUCKY,” you cover your mouth seeing how man slowly kneels down on one knee.
He opens the box and you can see a beautiful ring with a crystal in your favorite color, namely red.
“We’ve been through a lot for last year, Y/N. You mean a world to me. I want to have you by my side forever. Beside, every soldier needs a commander of heart. Will you grant me this honor and will you marry me, Y/N?”
You feel how your knees get weak, but you manage to keep yourself in a place.
“Bucky… Of course! Of course, my love!”
You give him your hand and he places the ring on your finger. You pull hand to your face to look at it.
“Oh God.. Bucky.. The ring is resplendent! You shouldn’t have…”
He doesn’t let you end your sentence giving you a long passionate kiss.
You purred into it happily.
Bucky accompanies you to your flat to make sure you are safe.
You stand in front of your doors, and you find a courage in yourself. Well. Bucky is now your fiancé, so why not?!
“Will you stay the nigh” You bite your lower lip looking shyly at him, but when you notice sparks in his blue eyes, you’re sure you made a good decision.
“With a pleasure, Y/N,” he responds.
You both get to your flat. You lock the door.
You good know it’s gonna be the best night of your life.
Hi all! This is a pretty long list of possible situations for you and our darlin' Plum. Feel free to use them however, and if possible, tag me! I love reading Bucky x Reader (or Bucky x Tony, ikik..) and there's just never enough of it around.
I'm thinking about doing some of these so let me know if you're interested in reading one!
You are a consultant on cultural behavior, which means you detail the best appearance, attitude, and quirks for an undercover agent to have. Given your indepth knowledge, Fury assigns you the arduous task of bringing Steve Rogers and James Barnes up to speed on history post-1949.
You have known Tony for 15 years. You were born on August 1st, 1980, and attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After the war, you found yourself numb and detached from life, with your only surviving close friends and family being Harry James Potter and Ron Weasley. After suffering through apathy and depression for five years, at the age of 23, you throw yourself through the Veil. Unsure if you will encounter a blissful void, screeching hellfire and your righteous maker, or some other world, you put all your belongings in an extended bag and welcome the final step. Funnily enough, you fell face-forward into a gutter. 15 years later, Tony calls on you to consult on the portals opening at random. Unsure what to expect, seeing as you are the last magical being on this earthly realm, you agree. What you find brings back memories of parseltongue, bloodquils, and man with 7 lives. Bucky x Reader.
Born into an impoverished family, Y/N Y/L/N is the last in a long line of witch-hunters. Your father was already well into his 60s when you were born, so when he passed, it was just your mother left to instill the family doctrine in you. Despite this all, you eventually turn to a life of normalcy, and become a historian specializing in occult artifacts (that's normal, right?). Stephen Strange is a close friend, and eventually asks you to help him in his research kickstarted by Jane Foster. You come into contact with all of the Avengers although you've barely held a conversation past "Hi, how ya doin'?". With Darcy as your new best friend, and her ridiculous affair with the God of Lies, you find yourself reciting the words your father had carved into his flesh. "For our King, our God, and the Righteousness of Divinity, may God have Mercy upon your Filthy Soul." Would be very interesting with a fictional twist on a religion or faith of your choosing. Bucky x Reader where eventually Reader is the only person in the tower/compound who can successfully defend herself against attacks by the supernatural without heavy firepower- Bucky being the exception of course. Horror!theme?
It had been a nice sunny day in Manhattan. You thought to yourself, "You know what, this is gelato weather. I deserve gelato." And instead you get shot by some asshole with a red star on his shirt, kidnapped by a blonde man with a shield, and then told it was your fault for telling the red star asshole to leave your landlord alone.
Peter thinks he's sly- that you don't know about his spandex-wearing cobwebby bullshit. Ha! You'd lived next door all your life. Your WINDOW faces his. Who does he think he's fooling? Doesn't matter, he got you into a Stark Expo VIP tour. But hey, that tall brooding dude looks like he needs a laugh. Wait, what do you mean you can't say "Who pissed in your cornflakes?" to the Winter Soldier? He's not the Winter Soldier, he- oh. Shit. Haaa..haha.. "PETER!!"
As Tony Stark's assistant, you've seen a lot of stuff. You've seen him butt naked, you've seen him so drunk he thought you were Rhodey (somehow), and you've even had your heart in his chest. You and he trust each other completely. One day, you get a call and it's a hospital in Y/Home/Town. They say your grandpa had a heart attack. And so you're on leave for 2 months making sure he's okay. Ol' Dirty Dugan doesn't go down easy. When you return, there is a strange split in the team. Tony spends even more time in his lab, he smells awful, and there's bags under his eyes. The team doesn't mention him and you notice they don't call him out for missions anymore. Wtf? After some digging you find out that Clint, Natasha, Steve, Sam, and Wanda are convinced Tony is a piece of shit. They think he's selfish, a coward, and a pervert, all because of misinformation and his public image. Hell fucking no. Thank god they thawed Barnes out, at least he isn't partaking in Bully-Tony-Tuesday. In fact.. he seems to be just as distant and despondent as Tony. You have a lot of work to do.
Bucky is your best friend. In the sense that, you don't have any real friends, and he doesn't let people close. But you bring him coffee, he shares his protein bars, and sometimes you two watch youtube together. Then one day an office clerk slaps your ass. What does Bucky do? He fractures the guys jaw.
"Happy Birthday to me. Happy birthday to me.. Happy Birthday, dear (Y/N), happy..birthday..to me.." Nobody remembered. Again. Your parents didn't call. Your sister didn't call. Your old friends didn't call. Nobody on the team said anything, but then again, they probably didn't know.. you are just a lab assistant anyway. Oh, well, Jarvis 2.0 did say Happy Birthday. That was nice. Bucky overheard Jarvis, though. So he goes out and buys some flowers, a bottle of sake, and a cheesecake. And then you cry and doesn't know why. Happy birthday to me. Oneshot. Fluffy angst.
They didn't know you were sick. None of them. You were conveniently out of town when the medical check ups took place, and never allowed the pain to show on your face. But one day at work you collapse, and they can't wake you up. Cho discovers you have kidney disease. You're dying and have been for a while. Tony pays top dollar for an immediate transplant, but it will still take a month or two. You used to have morning chats with Barnes after his run. You always were an early bird. But now he's on assignment somewhere secret, and you feel even more numb. Bucky couldn't handle the thought that you'd die (you won't but he doesn't know that), so he runs. He runs and immerses himself in a mission, believing you'd never feel the same way.
You came home and discovered your boyfriend of eight years in bed with a woman you'd never seen before. Turns out they'd been having a secret affair for nearly 5 years. You are arrested for punching him in the face- not that you remember, you blacked out in rage- and humourously enough, Barnes is the one who collects you from the station. It's okay, you hadn't been in love with Jerry for a long time, but it still hurt. So when you see Jerry with his 'side chick' three months later, you also discover Bucky had a sense of humour. Apparently you're now married to James Barnes, have been for a while, and are pregnant. Of course you're not but somehow Bucky knew just what to say and do to piss Jerry right off.

what the hell was this?
one minute you had been following yelena to get bob back, half-listening to bucky and alexei yelling over your shoulder, and the next, you were back in that godawful room.
the one with sterile lights and a low hum that you still heard in your nightmares.
you exhale quietly, walking into the room, ignoring the churning in your gut and the way that your stomach whispered, "i have a bad feeling about this."
the doctors surrounding your body muttered things in russian to one another, some of them looking you over with interest while a select few licked their lips and not-so-secretly palmed at themselves. a grimace contorts your face as you watch - an audience member to your own traumas.
you hesitantly step closer, seeing now the version of you that you had spent so many nights trying to forget; the one who acted on someone else's thoughts, the one who was an uncaged animal, the one who killed without thinking of who it was first.
the one who had almost killed the people that would eventually become family.
teeth sink down into your bottom lip, drawing a thin line of blood that manages to keep you grounded. the first needle goes in, past you screams.
you wince, brows pinching as you watch the younger you thrash and beg - stringing together words that are barely cohearent over the rushed talking of the doctors. you watch as the younger you begs and pleads and cries, but how no one listens.
your heart pounds against your ribcage, thundering beneath your skin and reveberating against the shell of your ears. your hands curl inward, fists turning white from the pressure that you apply to yourself.
"let me go, please!" younger you begs, voice cracking and body trembling as realization begins to sink in. the doctors don't listen, and as the second needle goes in, you turn away.
-- --
it's not until later that night that bucky notices someting off about you; your shoulders are slumped, your voice sounds tired, and your eyes aren't entirely focused on any one thing in particular.
you weren't really there ... for lack of a better way to put it.
only after the others went to bed did bucky approach you, catching you in the kitchen with a shot of whiskey in front of you. you hadn't drank since the final battle against thanos.
he watches you for a minute, just taking you in. the slump to your body, the unshed tears in your eyes, the pain and hurt that radiated off of you.
"you're staring," you say, placing down your glass with a clink. bucky chuckles, entering the kitchen and sitting down at the kitchen island beside you. "hi."
"hey, doll," bucky responds, taking the glass as you offer it to him and taking a sip from it. you smile softly at him, taking the glass back and placing it down. "you okay?"
"fine." you don't mean to sound as harsh as you do, but being asked if you were okay was honestly the last thing that you wanted. but you didn't know what okay meant, you never did, and you honestly never would.
bucky pauses, tilting his head at you and exhaling softly. one hand cradles your face, tilting it upward so that softened blue could meet (e/c). his eyes roam over your face, taking in everything down to the crease between your eyebrows.
"doll -"
"bucky."
he stops again, glancing at you ... no, looking at you.
the tears in your eyes, the part of your lips, the wrinkle to your forehead, the slight quiver to your chin. you were breaking at the seams, now he could see that.
so he does something about it.
one warm arm and one cool one wraps around you, pulling you forward slightly so that he could properly hold you. you don't protest, sliding into his arms and pressing your forehead against his shoulder. vibranium rubs comfortingly against your back, bucky's cheek coming to rest on the side of your head.
"i've got you."
you close your eyes, whimpering silently but letting yourself be held. bucky doesn't say anything, doesn't try to reassure you with words that wouldn't do anything. he holds you, cradles you.
and maybe you wouldn't ever know what it meant to be okay. but right now, in his arms ...
... you did feel okay.
