Chapter 4
Bucky’s pov~
(y/n) had been in the tower for a few weeks now, most days she would train in the gym with Steve or Natasha, she once asked me to train with her but the thought of me having one of my flash backs during our sparring and accidentally killing her didn’t really appeal. She understood. I had come in a few times to watch her training, amazingly fitness wasn’t a problem for (y/n) she could beat the shit out of a punching bag for hours at a time, Natasha had been teaching her some of her signature fight moves in which she would later try out on Steve unfortunately for him, that consisted of a deadly thigh grip around his neck.
She would bounce around flipping and kicking, her hair in a loose ponytail with pieces often falling over her face, and I couldn’t help admire her beauty, she was small and slim with eyes that could make you do anything if she asked, when I was doing weights in the gym I couldn’t stop my eyes from lingering on her delicious curves and often I had to remind myself not to stare at the roundness of her perfect ass, I knew I wasn’t supposed to, I didn’t mean to want her like that I was supposed to protect her.
Banner had started her off on small doses of the pills but it still made her incredibly ill, for an entire week after the first dose she was bed ridden screaming in pain, I couldn’t stand seeing her like it but banner said there was no other way. (y/n) nightmares had been worse than usual that week I would find her in one of Stark’s many lounges in the middle of the night flicking through the tv or simply just staring out the window willing her body to stay awake, I would stay up with her those nights, sometimes we would talk for hours on end and others we would sit together in silence knowing each other’s pain, there was something about her that couldn’t pin point, it made me never want to leave her side as if doing so would be wrong I felt responsible for her, no, not responsible something else, something that I had vever felt before…
Your pov~
For the first few weeks you had honestly considered leaving in the dead of night and never turning back, the training was exhausting and the doses of pills made your blood feel as if it was lava inside your veins however you carried on with your head held high, this was mostly down to Bucky you thought to yourself, if he could continue every day after what hydra did to him the you dam well could too, not to mention the fact he would help you through your night terrors even if that meant talking to you until the sun rose, you noticed how compared to his usual distant self when others were around he was a completely different person when alone with you, he opened up to you more and more each day, he trusted you and you trusted him, it was a bond you had never knew until now…
Tony was kind of your mentor since moving into the tower, you had actually become good friends which wasn’t something you had anticipated, You and tony chattered all the way through dinner occasionally laughing hardly at some crude joke he made, he jumped out of nowhere wide eyed he smiled at you as if a light bulb had gone off in his head, “what?” you questioned
“(y/n) why don’t you pass me that bottle of champagne” he grinned pointing across the room to the liquor cabinet “I’ve been saving it and now is a great time to celebrate” he continued to grin wildly
“errrr okay?” you looked confused at Tony’s expression but went to get up anyway, tony hooked his arm around your waist pulling you back into your seat “where do you think you’re going?
Everyone was watching you both now with confused expressions, you frowned a confused smile creeping to your lips, “Tony, you just said to get--”
“Ah ah nope I never said with your hands” he interrupted,
You caught on what he wanted you to do and shook your head “I can’t just do it when I want to. It just happens sometimes like when I’m scared or angry”
“Come on pleaseeee, at least try, you’ve been doing so well lately” tony pleaded, his arm still hanging around your waist, you noticed Bucky’s eyes weren’t on you but were trained on Starks arm.
“Hey maybe it’s not such a bad idea, it’s worth a try” Steve suggested.
“fine but I’m not paying for any damage” you joked,
hesitantly you shut your eyes and tried to concentrate on the champagne bottle across the room you could feel the team’s eyes on you but you ignored the sensation, you reopened your eyes which were now a deep shade of red and stared straight at the bottle, you could feel your strength inside you and willed the bottle to come to you, you raised your hand as if you were about to catch it and when you did so the bottle hurtled towards you with incredible speed, instead of catching it you and tony had to duck as it smashed into the wall behind you.
“well it was certainly close” Natasha laughed, you joined in happy at the fact you had even been able to make it move,
“thanks tony” you grinned,
“I’m going to get another bottle and we will really celebrate” tony laughed kissing you on the cheek as he got up.
You smiled and moved towards the pool table “Steve you’re up and if you lose we’re getting you drunk” you pointed at him playfully,
For the rest of the night Natasha and you went up against tony Steve and Bucky in various games, of course the super soldiers won any that required drinking because of their super-fast metabolism where as you and Natasha got trashed and ganged up on tony asking him VERY personal questions about his and peppers sex life.
It was 2 am and you and Natasha were slow dancing and giggling while you did, tony was half unconscious laying on his pool table while Steve and Bucky talked amongst each other looking at you and Natasha dancing with gleaming eyes and shit eating grins.
“I think Steve likes you yknow” you whispered to Natasha, she hit your arm playfully
“What about Bucky huh? I’ve seen the way you look at each other” she says diverting the subject from her obvious crush on Steve,
“Bucky doesn’t like me like that he just helps me with a few things that’s all” you said but with an obvious hint of doubt in your voice. You and Natasha continued swaying then she made a rude joke in your ear which made you two laugh so much you both ended up giggling in each other’s arms on the floor,
“Right ladies I think it’s time we got you to bed” Steve chuckled “but steeveeee” you whined,
“Nope” he said taking the half empty bottle of champagne from your hand (not to mention the 5 others on the floor) he hoisted Natasha up and started leading her out the room
“Buck help me out would yah” Steve called, Bucky groaned lifting up from his seat and making his way over to you he reached out hand to help you up but instead you shook your head and grinned playfully
“So it’s like that is it” he smirked, he lifted you up bridle style which made you squeal in shock and walked out of the room towards the elevator
“Put me down” you whined but he ignored you he carried you all the way to your room and placed you carefully on your bed
“There now you can get some sleep, you’re not going to enjoy the hangover that follows” he chuckled turning to leave
You attempted to pull your dress off and failed miserably after a few attempts you huffed at yourself and slumped back down in the bed,
“dress annoyinggg help” you moaned Bucky sighed and awkwardly sat you up, and unzipped you and pulled you dress over your head, he coughed as an awkward sign of your black lace bra and panties on show but you just giggled and looked into his eyes,
As he pulled your blankets over you and laid you down your mind wondered how he felt about you, you wasn’t even sure how you felt about him, it was more than friendship, it was loyalty, you would do anything for this man and you were pretty sure the feeling was mutual, Bucky’s voice pulled you out of your thoughts, “Can’t say I thought I’d ever be doing this” he laughed,
“good night (y/n)” he whispered before quietly shutting your door behind him you closed your eyes and fell into a deep drunken sleep.
