Chapter 4

 

Is actor James Barnes back on drugs again? Did he get his most recent lover involved as well? Keep on reading to find out! 

 

Recently our favourite all American boy Steve Rogers was dating James Barnes. To say we were shocked was an understatement. His sudden come out, their relationship which seemed to appear out of thin air and their very different personalities didn’t sound like a match made in heaven to us.

 

Rogers is best known for his work in ‘Costumed Chaos’ and is said to be playing the legendary role of Captain America and it’s also rumoured he makes an appearance in ‘Red Room’ in which our favourite Russian Redhead, Natasha Romanoff stars. None of this is confirmed, however. 

 

A-list actor James Barnes however, isn’t exactly known for his best behaviour.

 

Barnes started as a young Disney star full of potential, but maybe that got to his head. Instead of hitting the tabloids for donating to charity or rescuing kittens like his significant other he is most known for his rowdy behaviour, checking in and out both prison and rehab and having countless lovers. He also hasn’t starred in any movie since. 

 

Last year he was hospitalized after a suspected heroin overdose, ever since his scandalous behaviour seemed to have died down a little, maybe ever since he found love in the tall, handsome and blonde Steve. 

 

However, yesterday Barnes and Rogers were seen leaving nightclub Compass, one of the most pretentious clubs, skipping out of the Halloween party. Said party was attended by a lot of other A-listers, Natasha Romanoff, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner and Clint Barton to just name a few.

 

“They just left, Steve got drinks and not a few minutes later they left.” One of my sources told me this morning. “Barnes seemed high or something. He was all leaning on Rogers, his eyes were all bloodshot. I’m telling you, something was wrong.” 

 

Whether or not Barnes was high, , we’ll leave that up for debate. All we’ll say is that we were rooting for him bettering his life, quitting his drug and alcohol habits and even finding love and we hope he kept up the hard work.

 

The recent love birds are adorable together. Rogers has posted several pictures of the two of them hanging out together and yesterday they were seen wearing matching outfits. Rogers was wearing a taco costume, Barnes a Belle dress from Beauty and the Beast and we were absolutely living for it.

 

Barnes seemed to be glowing and radiating happiness in the pictures released by the press yesterday. Rogers seemed a little uncomfortable, but as we all know, parties aren’t really his scene. He looked much happier in a picture he posted on his Instagram Story later that night of an asleep James on his shoulder. 

 

Adorable.

 

We here are rooting for the two of them and we would love to hear your opinions on these two lovers. Do you think they are in it for the long run? Do you think Steve is actually making James a better person? Do you think Barnes was high? Let us know in the comments!

Steve was over it. All the negative news about his ‘boyfriend’. Yes, okay, Bucky may have a rocky past (something Steve really didn’t dare to ask questions about) but he seemed changed, a changed person. 

 

The Bucky in the news that he got to know was a way different than the Bucky sitting in front of him.

 

Bucky in front of him didn’t scowl at reporters, didn’t fight paparazzi, didn’t get into Twitter feuds and didn’t strip naked at a football game. Bucky in front of him seemed calm, easy, laid-back, with his pastel coloured sweaters that were always a little oversized and bucky in front of him smiled at Steve, laughed at his jokes and was just fun to be around.

 

Steve had avoided talking about Bucky’s past like the plague, he didn’t want to make the other man uncomfortable, he didn’t want to upset him and ruin their perfectly fine friendship just because he was being too nosy.

 

Right now the two of them were working out in the private gym in Steve’s apartment building. Bucky’s muscles were giant, Steve’s were still little baby muscles although they are getting more and more defined. For the role of Captain America he needed to get absolutely ripped, a good thing for him he had 6 more months before they started shooting.

 

Steve was getting pretty tired of enduring his muscles of hours of torture and on top of all that enduring, his stomach a ridiculously strict diet and really gross protein shakes. 

 

Bucky’s bodybuilding seemed to go a lot easier, he pulled all the exercises off with ease and without breaking a sweat. Steve, on the other hand, was a hot mess, barely able to do one push up and sweating through his shirt within the 5 minutes of working out.

 

The duo was finishing working out with an easy run on the treadmill. Bucky didn’t seem to mind this at all, but for Steve this was the last torture his body could possibly endure so he quickly stopped and called it a day. Once Bucky was also done they went upstairs to Steve’s apartment.

 

They changed out of their gross, sweaty gym clothes and into their more regular, less sweaty and most importantly less smelly clothes. In order to do that they had to strip naked. Bucky didn’t seem to have a problem with it, pulling his shirt over his head. When he did just that Steve noticed uneven marking on his shoulder running all the way to his back. 

 

Steve gasped at the sight of the red scarring. What would even caused that much damage?

 

“Buck?”

 

James turned around, wearing his jumper again. A pastel green one this time, really complimented his eyes. But that was not the point. “Yes?”

 

“What happened to your back? And shoulder?”

 

Bucky looked a bit shocked by Steve’s sudden question and hesitated to answer. It was obviously not something he liked to talk about. He sighed a little before he began talking.

 

“My last boyfriend was a bit of dick, drank a lot. Uhm.. one day we were going to a party but he already had too much to drink and we hit a tree. He died. Uhm.. don’t really like to talk about it. Messed my arm up pretty bad, um can’t really feel a lot with it, can move it just fine but it kinda sucks.”

 

Steve was dumbfounded, didn’t really know what to say.

 

“Shit.” 

 

Bucky chuckled. “Well… yeah..”

 

“Is it okay if I give you a hug?”

 

Bucky nodded and the taller man walked towards the other man and embraced him. The smaller man still smelled a little bit like sweat from their previous work out but Steve didn’t really mind it. Adds character he guesses.

 

“If you ever wanna talk about something, you can always come by or give me a call, you know that right?” Steve said as he released Bucky from his grip. The other man nodded and give him a small smile.

 

“Yeah, I know. Thanks,” he said to which he later added, “for everything. You know, being so chill with everything that is going on right now and just for being a great friend.”

 

Steve nodded and smiled to himself. Even though Bucky still saw him as a friend, (Steve wasn’t even sure he wanted anything more than that, he just enjoys Bucky’s company), it meant a great deal, they were only hanging out together for a few weeks and that they have already established this closeness meant a lot.

 

“Anytime.”

“My mum wants to meet you.” Steve declared when the two of them were out having dinner, in a very public restaurant, in a very public spot, but everything for the publicity.

 

Bucky choked on his ridiculously overpriced chicken, seriously how can a chicken cost this much? A chicken is a chicken, right? Or did they feed this one diamonds? Anyways… Bucky seemed a little bit pale. 

 

“She wants to meet? She wants to meet…. Me?”

 

Steve nodded. “Yes. that’s what I just said.’

 

“Uhm... When will this meeting be happening?”

 

Steve shrugged, he and his mum hadn’t really discussed it all that much. “I guess like at the weekend? But we can reschedule, she won’t mind.”

 

Bucky nodded, still looking a little bit flushed out. “Uhm... Saturday?’

 

“Saturday will work.”

 

Saturday came quicker than they expected. The week flying by. More tabloids were posted about their relationship, more gossip was shared, more work-outs in the gym together and ever since they hugged they have been more comfortable touching each other, also in private.

 

What did that mean for them? Is Bucky just an affectionate person? Are they getting closer? Is Bucky just that comfortable around him that he feels the need to hug him or sit a little closer than usual?

 

“Is this alright?” Bucky said.

 

Steve looked up and observed the third outfit Bucky was wearing. He was wearing a pink denim jacket with a white shirt underneath. He was also wearing black ripped jeans and his black and white converse, he looked amazing.

 

“Yeah… you look gre-” 

 

Before Steve could finish his sentence the doorbell rang. 

 

“Oh shit.”

 

Steve chuckled. “She is not that bad.” And opened the door. A short thin woman with long blonde hair appeared. 

 

“Hey honey.”
