Episode Three
It was Monday and he groans as his alarm goes off. He stretches and his notification goes off and he looks to see a new Facebook post from Sharon Carter. Bucky rolled his eyes and clicks on it and he immediately regrets it. It showed a picture of himself and there was one word that he learned to hate with a white hot passion.
Fat.
Bucky bites his bottom lip and sees that people have liked and disliked it. Bucky sniffles and takes his shirt off and looks at himself inside the mirror. Is he really overweight?
Bucky takes a picture of himself and sends it to Natasha.
Bucky: Am I fat? Sharon says I am. :(
He sends it off and gets ready for school. He shaves and plays with his hair and puts some cologne on. He changes into black skinny jeans and a white button down with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He decides to use his black sneakers and he looks in the mirror.
A text comes in and he looks and smiles at the text Natasha sends to him.
Natasha:Fuck Sharon. You are gorgeous, you are skinny don’t let her bring you down.
Bucky smiles and walks down the stairs. He grins when he realizes that it is Valentines Day and grabs his school bag. There was a twenty dollar bill and he snatches it up because there was a note that says his name and he smiles. He walks to school.
He grins when he enters the school and people smile and part ways for him. Bucky felt important and everyone was just so friendly. He gets to his locker and he opens it and grabs the textbooks he needs for class and he hears people gasp and whisper and he turns to see Steve. Bucky eyes widened a little bit when he saw Steve carrying a huge bouquet of white, red and blue roses. Bucky softly smiles and he stops in front of him. “Happy Valentines Day baby.” Steve says and hands the bouquet over to Bucky. “Steve, you didn’t have to do this. I didn’t even get you anything.”
Steve leans over and kisses the brunet. “I don’t care. I have you.” He whispers and Bucky blushes. “Thank you. Where am I supposed to put this?” He wonders aloud and Steve chuckles and grabs a vase with water in it out of nowhere and places the bouquet in his locker that somehow fits perfectly. Bucky gives Steve a impressed look that makes him chuckle. “I love you.” Steve says that makes Bucky smile. “I love you too.” Bucky says softly.
“Are you sure you two love each other?” Asks a voice and they look at Sharon. Bucky rolled his eyes at her and Steve glares. “Yes so stop trying to get to me because you can’t.” He snarls. Bucky looks down and then back at her. “And PLEASE stop insulting me. I am gorgeous I know. I get you are jealous and I am sorry that you can’t get what you want in life but guess what? Suck it up buttercup.” Bucky says bluntly and very calmly. Steve looks at him in surprised but then he understood. Bucky can be a total bitch if he needs to be. Everyone “oohs.” And Sharon looked offended. She clearly did not have a comeback and just stomps her heel into the ground like a child and storms off.
However, she did stop and turn. “You are going to regret everything that you are saying Barnes because I do get what I want.” She says then continues walking off. Everyone claps and cheers for Bucky and he grins. “That was great babe.” Steve says and brings the Omega into a kiss. “Thanks.” Bucky says. Natasha runs up and hugs the brunette. “I am so proud of you. Not many people believe me when I say you can turn into bitch mode when you have to.” She says and Bucky smiles shyly.
“Not a lot of people think I have it in me.” He says. Tony comes up. “Well I believe everyone does now.” He says and the group laughs. “We have a new student.” Bruce says with a new person behind him. “Everyone this is Sam Wilson.” Bruce introduces. “Hi Sam, my name is Steve Rogers.” Steve says and they shake hands. “I know, the famous couple of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes even though they are not allowed. The school talks a lot.” He says.
Steve laughs and pulls Bucky closer to him. “Our parents don’t know yet.” Steve says. “Well actually Steve’s parents knows just not mine because mine tries to control my life. I think they already have a Alpha ready for me to force marriage.” Bucky wonders aloud. Sam flinches. “Ouch.” He says and Bucky nods. “It’s sucks.” Bucky says and Sam smiles. “I think we are going to be great friends.” Sam says and Bucky giggles and nods. They were walking to there class when the announcements came on.
“Hello everyone, this is principal Fury and our student council have a few pointless announcements.”
Bucky always like the school principal because he didn’t fucking care unless some students are being bullied. Then Fury goes all bat shit crazy on you. Guess who the head of the student council is….. Wait for it. Peggy Carter. The British woman who hates Bucky with a white hot passion.
“Hello Eagles! The school bored has came to the student council about the upcoming spring dance! It is going to be in our gymnasium and tickets are selling at both lunches for five dollars each and the dance will be next Friday! Also we have a assembly coming up by Mr. And Mrs. Barnes about there maple syrup company and see who will sign up for scholarships. See you all at second period!”
“Oh fucking great!” Bucky shouts at the ceiling causing people to look at him with pity. Sam snickers and immediately shuts up when Bucky glares at him. “Why today of all days! Honestly! Fuck my life.” He grumbles and Steve holds him closer. “The assembly is at second period but we all have to head to first.” Natasha says. “Everyone is going to be all nice to them soon they can get money, just wait for it.” Bucky mutters and they all head there separate ways to class.

Bucky eyes clock and taps his pencil on the desk. He hates Civics, he cannot believe his dad signed him up for it. Bucky groans and lets his head rest against The Desk. “Can anyone answer me who made health care free in Canada?” The teacher asks and Bucky closes his eyes. “Mr. Barnes.” She points out. Bucky straightens up. “Pierre Trudeau.” Bucky answers and she smiles. “So you are listening.” She says then continues on with her class. Bucky knows his stuff like he isn’t that stupid.
Just then the bell rings and he packs his stuff up as fast as he could and quickly walks out of the classroom.
“All students head to the gymnasium, I repeat all students head to the gymnasium.”
Bucky sighs and walks inside. His arm was immediately grabbed. “Honey, there you are.” His father says. “Dad. Let me go I am going to sit with my friends.” Bucky whispers. “I know but I am about to apologize. Your mother is going to call you up and everything.” He warns. God damn it mother. “Thanks for the warning dad.” Bucky says and he nods and lets go. Natasha waves and Bucky grins and sits down beside her. Soon enough they group of friends are sitting together. Steve had to sit somewhere else and Bucky hates it but they had to hide there secret.
Nick Fury walks up and the crowd becomes silent. “All right everyone, please listen to Mr. And Mrs. Barnes.” He says and the crowd claps. Winifred smiles. “Hello Eagles. I can tell you right now that we have gotten many scholarship applications and we are proud. However our son seems to think differently so we are going to talk about what we do.” She says and continues rambling on. Bucky rolled his eyes and Natasha giggles and they whisper to each other.
“God she just threw you under the bus.” She whispers. “I know.” Bucky whispers right back. “She does that all the time. She makes sure that everyone sees the perfect family that we are, but really we are far from that.” Bucky whispers. “Jesus, I am glad my parents aren’t like that.” She whispers. “I know I wish I have yours.” He whispers. “We can adopt you.” She jokes. “Please.” He says and they both snicker.
“Son, please come here.” Winifred says and everyone turns to look at Bucky. Bucky just wants to die right on the spot. Bucky puts his hand onto his forehead. “Jesus Christ mother.” He grumbles and stands up. “Come on.” She encourages that makes Bucky roll his eyes and stands beside his mother. “Bucky can you tell the school about our company?” She asks.
Bucky gives her a look silently asking her a question. What the hell do you have planned mother? But grabs the microphone. “Uhhh I only know a little bit cause I am too busy working on school but yeah, I can tell them a little bit.” He says and she gives him a sour look. He grins and looks out at the crowd.
“I look over the applications cause apparently I have good instincts on the people I pick. I just look at the resumes and see who is just trying to steal money or who is actually going to work for it. Umm we also have a ceremony each spring and I guess that I make sure that we get the right amount of money so nobody is stealing or trying to make us look bad. Pretty much each member of this family helps out in their own ways.” Bucky says and smiles as the crowd claps.
George smiles. “Great answer son.” He whispers. Winifred smiles and puts her hand onto his shoulder. “Yes, now if any of you have a application please hand it to my son here and he will look them over.” Winifred says and a group of people line up at a table and Bucky is set to work right away. He grabs one and looks it over. “You really think you can handle this? It is very stressful.” Bucky says and gives the girl a look. She nods and smiles. Bucky smiles. “What are your marks?” He asks. “Eighties and higher.” She says. “Well you look like you can certainly handle it so just head over to my mother and she will tell you the details.” Bucky says and she smiles. “Thank you so Much! “ She says and Bucky nods.
This is going to be a very, very long day.
It was about two hours later when he was at the last person and he was so fucking grateful. Soon he can be with Steve and his friends. The person steps up and sets the application down. Bucky looks up then groans. “I can already tell you that no. Go away.” Bucky snarls and Brock smirks. “My parents were talking and guess what I heard?” He asks. Bucky scoffs but he did want to know what they said. “What did they say?” Bucky asks curious.
“That they have a arrangement of you and me getting married once we are finished high school.” He says smugly. Bucky stares at him horrified. “Your lying!” He states angrily and slams his hands onto the table. Both Winifred and George were by his side in seconds. “Baby, what’s wrong?” She asks. Bucky whips his glares to her. “Is it true that you and this, this MONSTER parents arrange a damn marriage!?” Bucky asks feeling panic seize in his chest.
Both parents were quiet. Dread filled Bucky. “No! I refuse this! I rather run away then marry that monster. That pervert, evil of a pig man!” Bucky yells and runs off in tears. Steve looks up to see his lover running into his arms in full sobs. “Shhh. Easy baby, what happened?” The blonde asks. Bucky just shakes his head and Steve holds him impossibly closer. “My mother, she, she.” And Bucky falls into more tears. Steve growls and holds him out. “What did she do?” He asks.
More tears continue to fall and Bucky gives Steve the most heart broken and fear expression. “When I get out of high school, my mother is forcing me to marry Brock Rumlow.” Steve growls and the rest of the group gasps. Steve pulls the brunet into a hug. “I can’t do it! Please, I have to leave somehow get out of this family.” Bucky snarls and his body begins to tremble from exhaustion and shock.
“You are staying with me tonight.” Steve says and looks around. “If so, you two need to leave now.” Bruce says. The couple nods and leaves the building.
Steve helps the Omega into his car and runs around and starts the car. “Put your seatbelt on.” Steve says and Bucky does very quickly. “My mom will know what to do.” Steve says and drives off.
