Hi! I want to introduce myself because I hope to stay here with you for awhile.
My name is Wiktoria, but you can call me Vicky (I prefer this more). I love writing... well obviously ;) But I also love swimming in the middle of the lake when no one is around. I love sunrises and sunsets and Ben and Jerry's. I like massages while watching horror movies. And I like you :) Nice to meet you.
Summary: Sometimes all you need is a hug and a little reassurance.
Pairing: tfatws!bucky x single mom! fem!reader
Warnings: Angst, fluff, Bucky being the sweetest mf ever.
a/n: @commonintrest hope you liked it hon!
please reblog and comment if you enjoy! zero interaction is really demotivating!
Ever since you moved into the apartment next to his, Bucky felt something he'd never felt in over seventy years.
Peace.
Warmth.
It was just every thing you did; from selflessly helping out a neighbour to the way you interacted with your precious six year old son he'd grown to adore, to Bucky you were sunshine personified.
You knew about his past and you were one of the very few people who didn't alienate him because of it. He almost cried when your son called him a hero.
He admired the way you worked so hard to support your son and yourself, never once complaining. Sometimes he felt you were overworking yourself, but he felt it wasn't his place to intervene.
He really wanted to though. To tell you how amazing you were, how beautiful and selfless you were, how you made his life better by just... being you.
Because as it happened, the blue-eyed charmer had it bad.

You checked your watch again and you were so glad that you were on time for your late shift at the diner.
You hated leaving Evan at Mrs Fineman's for the night. Oh no, don't get it wrong, Mrs Fineman was an angel, an absolute godsend. It was just that you'd missed out on two whole weeks of bedtime stories, cuddles and kisses and it was starting to take a toll on you.
On top of that, your deadbeat ex husband still hadn't paid the goddamn child support which meant you were probably stuck with the night shift for a few more weeks.
The thought made you want to cry but then you remembered this was all for Evan. Your light, your life.
You slipped your coat on over your uniform as Evan buckled his little shoes. You made your way out to find Bucky unlocking his apartment door.
"Uncle Bucky!" Evan shouts as he runs to hug the man's leg.
"Evan, sweetie! Let the man put his bags down for God's sake!" you scold him gently.
"Hey champ!" Bucky says, ruffling the little boy's thick hair before picking him up and resting him on his hip.
You smiled fondly at how natural Bucky was with your son. You wished his biological father would've been like that. Sometimes you wished Bucky was his father but to you, that was a long, long shot.
"Baby, say bye to uncle Bucky now, Mrs Fineman's waiting for you,"
"But, mommy, I wanna stay with Uncle Bucky! " Evan whines and you know it's the tone he uses when he's adamant.
"Sweetheart it's not very nice to intrude,"
"I could take him, it's no problem really," Bucky says suddenly.
"Are you sure, Buck?"
"Yep, hundred percent,"
"Yay!" Evan cheers loudly making you shake your head.
"Okay so I'm off, if you need anything, call and Mrs Fineman's right down the hall,"
"Mommy, that rhymed!" Evan squeals.
"Got it, doll," he responds with a little chuckle, the pet name making your cheeks heat up.
"Thanks, Buck," you say as he responds with a small nod and smile.
"You and me tonight buddy," Buck says, giving Evan a fist bump.
You turn around and walk down the stairs, snippets of their adorable conversation bringing a smile to your face, somehow making everything just a tad bit easier.
____
Walking up the stairs, you were exhausted. The diner was packed and you had been waiting on tables non stop.
Plus, you found out that your stupid ex was now dating his secretary and they were on vacation in Mexico.
Fucking bastard.
You took a deep breath before knocking on Bucky's door because even though nothing seemed to be going right, he somehow made it seem like it was.
"Hey, come in," he says, opening the door.
"Thank you," you respond. "Where's Evan?"
"He fell asleep, he's in the bedroom,"
"Oh, okay," you say trying to hide your disappointment at missing another night.
"All okay?" Bucky asks and you can't help but smile at the genuine concern.
"Yeah, perfect. I'll take him home, now. Thanks, Buck."
"Doll, wait. You sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"You don't seem okay,"
"I'm fine, Buck," you say, your words sounding unintentionally harsh. "I'll go get him,"
____
Your heart melted at the sight of your baby sleeping so soundly. All you wanted was to be with him when he did and you weren't.
An involuntary sob escaped you at the sight and a stray tear rolled down your eye. All of your repressed feelings hit you like a truck but you knew better than to cry in front of Bucky.
You pulled the door closed and quickly wiped your face before making your way to the kitchen where Bucky was cleaning up.
"Hey, Buck?" you call, your voice wavering.
He caught it immediately.
"Yeah, doll?"
"Uh, can I come get him in the morning? it's just that he's sleeping so soundly I don't have the heart to wake him up,"
"Of course, you're welcome to stay if you want, I can take the couch,"
"No, thank you, Buck. I couldn't ask you to do that,"
At this point you were just desperate to get out of his house before he could see you cry.
"You didn't ask, I'm offering," he smiles.
"No!" you shout suddenly. "Stop it! Stop being so nice when I clearly don't deserve it! I’m a terrible mother-”
Bucky walks over to you nonchalantly stopping you in the middle of your self depreciative rant as the tears finally begin to fall, his heart shattering when a choked sob wracks your body. He hugs you tightly and you hug him back even tighter, burying your face in his chest as you let it all out. He gently strokes your head to calm you down, only making you grip him tighter.
You calm down after a while and look up at him with a tear-stained face. He gently wipes your tears and presses a kiss to your forehead before leading you to the couch. He asks you to sit before getting you a glass of water and setting himself down next to you.
“Thank you,” you say breaking the silence that had fallen over the two of you.
“For what, doll?”
“For caring.”
“Sweetheart I’m gonna tell you a few things now, okay?”
You nod quietly before he continues.
“You, y/n, are one of the most amazing people I’ve ever known. You’re kind and selfless and you always put everyone before yourself. You’re so incredibly strong and beautiful, I feel like I need to pinch my arm to remind myself that you’re real.” He says, making your face incredibly warm.
“But my ex-”
“And that little boy in there? All he could talk about tonight was how his mother’s a superhero and how much he loves you. Don’t you dare think you’re a bad mom because you’re one of the best ones around. And as for your stupid ex? Jerk walked out on the greatest things he could’ve ever had.”
“Buck-”
“I know, I could’ve used a stronger word than ‘jerk’ but there’s a kid here,” he says trying to lighten up the mood, making you chuckle.
“Buck, you’re making it very difficult for me not to kiss the life out of you right now,” you say playfully yet sounding a little shy.
“That’s probably the best way I’ve ever heard of goin’ out,” he says, smoothly leaning in and pressing his lips to yours, everything unsaid being poured into the way your lips melded against each other’s.
You kiss his hand gently as he cups your face, snuggling into his side.
“I’ve dreamed of making you mine for so long, y/n,”

Masterlist
The air on the quinjet was heavy. There was a statement to be made, and the two parties aboard were waiting for their captain to finally utter the words.
Well, maybe he wasn’t a captain anymore. Not legally.
But to Natasha and Sam, Steve was their captain, and captains were the ones to make hard and fast decisions.
This wasn’t a hard decision for Steve. Seeing you—holding you in his arms for the first time in weeks—was the easiest choice he could possibly make. You were Steve’s peace in all of this mess. You blinked up at him when he arrived at your door, battered and bruised, and all he felt was warmth. You ran him a bath in the tub he didn’t have the heart to tell you he barely fit in, and the scents from your soaps would be something he held onto for weeks afterward.
Chapter Summary: Mistakes can be acknowledged, corrected, and even forgiven. Often times, an honest talk is all you need - and a second chance.
Word Count: 3.3k
Warnings: language, a little angst at the beginning, Steve and Tony being 17′s Mom and Dad, clumsy Bucky (that’s a warning, right?)
A/N: So this chapter kept getting bigger and bigger and I decided to cut it in half. It’s a little conversation heavy, but I’m happy with how it turned out. Keep your eyes out for a little foreshadowing that I hid in there!
Chapter title is from My Repair by Sons Of The East for obvious reasons!
She cried so much she felt like throwing up. No, not just felt like it. She literally started to gag not twenty minutes ago, throat choked full with tears and regret. Sniffing, she tried to think of what to do next. Hansen gave her one last, loathe-ridden, spat out chance to finally capture Quinn - but will the Avengers want to work with her now?
Would Bucky even want to look at her now?
Bucky. Bucky. Bucky. Filling her mind, her thoughts, her heart, her chest until it seemed like bursting violently apart.
You look around in surprise. Not that you are surprised that Steve’s flat is so clean, you would never accuse anyone of being a slob just because he is… he. But let be honest. Stereotypes are based on truth, aren't they?
You are surprised because this flat is so cozy. You immediately felt like you've been here before. You felt as if the last half an hour hadn't happened at all.
„You will be ok here? Alone?” Steve had asked for enty time before he and Bucky went to your flat.
„Yes, Steve. Thank you so much. You have no idea how…”
„Hey.” He interrupted you, looking into your eyes like he wanted to assure you that he is honest with you. „No need to thank me. Y/N…”
„I’ll wait in the hall.” This time Bucky interrupted Steve, leaving you two alone next to the door.
Well, not quite alone. You glanced at Dodger, lying on the sofa. As if you had called him, he jumped up from the couch and walked over to you.
„Y/N” Steve continued. „I’m so glad that you’re alright. You have no idea what some people are capable of.”
You shook your head. You felt your heart stop for a moment. The serious look on Steve’s face wasn’t helping.
„I feel so stupid. Oh my God. Maybe he is just some random guy who took the opportunity of me being there ready for a date.”
„I hope you know that that is not your fault. And yes maybe he isn't dangerous.” He pinched the top of his nose and closed his eyes for a second like he was fighting with some unspoken words. „God, I hope he’s not because I don’t know how I will handle this. But anyway he’s not innocent either.”
„Yes, but…”
„No buts, doll. Please. Wait here for me. Do you want me to grab something from your apartment?”
You needed a few moments to think.
„Well… You can lock my flat after he… You know.”
Steve nodded.
„Sure thing.”
„And… um…”
„What is it? You can ask me anything, doll.”
„Can I borrow your phone? I would like to call Wanda. She’s probably freaking out.”
He immediately took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to you.
„Ok. I need to go there now. Dodger.” He patted his dog’s head. „Take care of her.”
You smiled at this.
„My flat is at number 24.” You added before he reached for the door.
Steve looked at you last time with a shy smile on his lips.
„I know.” And with that he went out.
Now you sit on his sofa in the living room and you ask yourself: what the fuck?
That’s not how you imagined your evening.
Definitely not the part with Ted Bundy in your flat and Steve Rogers, your super-duper handsome neighbour, as your knight in shining armour. You can’t help but start laughing hysterically loud. You grab a pillow and you hide your face in it.
You hear Dodger making a low noise.
„Maybe I should start writing a blog. What do you think?” You ask him.
You could write about your amazing adventures. But who would believe that? Probably just …
„Wanda!”
You type your friend's number on Steve's phone. You put it to your ear and wait just two beeps.
„Halo? Who is it?” Wanda’s voice is trembling and you feel terrible. You should have called her sooner.
„Wanda, hon, it’s me, Y/N.”
„Oh my God! Y/N, what’s going on? I’m on my way to your apartment.”
„There is no need.”
„No need? What about this guy, whoever he is?”
„Um… Steve, I mean my neighbour, is taking care of him now.”
You hear nothing but silence.
„Wanda? Are you there?”
„This Steve?”
„Yeah, my…”
„The Steve that was eyeing you when we were with him in the elevator?”
„He what?”
Wanda squeals into the phone.
„I told you! He looked at you with this fucking gorgeous smile and you were like… no, he was not!”
„Because he wasn’t.”
He wasn’t… you think. But you can’t ignore this sensation in your stomach at the thought of him eyeing you with his smile.
Because let be honest, ok? This guy’s so beautiful that that shouldn’t be allowed. And his smile…
„So I’m free to come back home?” Wanda asks.
„Yes, you are. Thanks for everything. You know, like for some murderer in my flat. I love you, hon.”
Wanda laughs.
„Actually, you really should be thankful.”
„Oh, yeah?”
„Yeah. You have a boyfriend now.” She says and ends the call.
…………………………………………………….
You promise yourself that you wait two more minutes and if Steve and Bucky won’t come back you go downstairs to your flat. Maybe something wrong happened?
You panic. You quickly get up from the couch, the dog follows you. Once you're at the door, someone opens them for you. You jump slightly.
„Y/N?” Steve looks at you surprised. „What are you doing here? Were you waiting here all this time?”
You run your eyes over his face. He doesn't look like something bad has happened.
„I thought… I don’t know what I thought but I was worried. I wanted to see if everything is fine.”
„I asked you to stay here.” He says calmly.
„I know. I just feel guilty that you and Bucky needed to take care of my… well - problems.”
Now Steve smiles at you the way you like the most.
„I told you before - that’s not a problem. I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you.” Last sentence he says so quiet that you're not even sure if you have misheard him. He probably sees the confusion on your face because he adds quickly:
„Ok, I’ll make us some coffee. Is it ok?”
„Um… Yes. It’s ok. But-but what happened with this Pietro…”
„Brock.”
Steve guides you to his kitchen where you sit on a stool. Steve starts bustling around, telling you the whole story.
„He’s name is Brock. When Bucky and I went to your apartment he didn’t look surprised. Like he was ready for something like that. We asked him to tell us who he is and why he was pretending someone else. He… let’s say that he told us some bullsh… Sorry” He looks at you apologetically, but you only nod your head. „Than he didn’t want to get out.”
„And where is Bucky now?” You ask.
„He’s taking Brock to the police station.”
„What?” Your eyes are wide.
„He didn’t want to work with us, doll. We needed to take care of it.”
You watch Steve for a moment in silence.
„Here you go.” He says when he puts a mug of steaming drink in front of you.
You thank him and you take a sip of your… tea?
„I thought you were going to make us coffee.”
Steve smiles at you leaning on the kitchen counter and drinking his coffee.
„Yeah, about that. I think you don’t need any more energy for today. You should go to sleep soon and take some rest.”
You also smile.
„Thank you. Maybe you too should drink tea.”
He looks at you with a strange expression on his face. His lips are no longer twisted by a smile and there are some weird, unspoken things lurking in his eyes. You’re not scared of him even for a second. You just feel the sensation intensify in your belly.
„I don’t think I will be able to go to sleep for a while now.”
Pietro… You mean this guy who is not Pietro stares at you and your phone in your hand.
„So, was it important?”
„What?” You ask out of breath like you have just ran a marathon.
„This call. Is something wrong?”
„Oh! Call! Yeah!” Think, think, think. „I needed to… You know…” You look around your flat, searching for something you can grab and…
„Corkscrew!” You scream. „I called my neighbour to ask if I can borrow a corkscrew. I need to go to her.” You take a step back still looking at Pietro. Who isn’t Pietro of course. „Can you… Can you wait a second?”
„Um, sure. Yeah.”
You walk backwards until your back touches the door. Your heart beats mad in your chest. If that stranger doesn't cut your throat, you will die of a heart attack. Cool. You reach for the door handle and notice your hand shaking.
„I’ll be waiting.” You hear him saying when you are already in the hall. You shut the door quickly and run down the stairs, don't even bother waiting for the lift. All you hear is your heart pounding and you foot bouncing on concrete stairs.
Meanwhile you try to unlock your phone to call Wanda again. You need to talk to her. Or maybe you really should call the police. Or you’re just overreactive. But you need to somehow get rid of…
The phone slips from your hand, falls to the ground, and breaks into pieces. You gasp for air in shock. You stop so suddenly you almost fall down.
„Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.”
You can’t believe it. What a night?!
You pick up what's left of your phone off the ground and stuff it into your pocket. You want to start crying, but you know it's not the time for that. You need to be strong and find out who, the fuck, is that man. Because you know one thing - he is not the Pietro.
You come out of the building into the cold air and feel the wind pounding your hot cheeks. You need to breath. Calm down and figure out what to do. But firstly you need to sit down, because you’re not sure if you’re not going to pass out after your quick run from fourth floor.
You sit down heavily on one of the steps leading to your building and you put your face in your hands.
Maybe you can borrow a phone from someone? And than what? Call Wanda and ask her to help you get rid of this Pietro not Pietro? Or maybe you should come back and just ask him politely to not kill you and just get the fuck out?
„Y/N?” You hear when someone’s hand touch your arm.
You scream, jumping and feeling your heart leap into your throat.
„Hey, it’s me - Steve. Easy, doll. You okey?” He asks you in a sincere worried voice.
You look up at him and you feel that you can’t say a word. Steve Rogers is looking at you with a wrinkle on his forehead. His eyes search your face for answer.
„Y/N? Why are you sitting here? What’s happened?”
You shake your head slightly. You don’t know how to describe it to him.
„Steve, she’s shivering” Someone else says and you look over Steve’s shoulder.
„Oh god, yes.” Steve gasps and he starts to take off his jacket. „Here you go.”
You feel the warm and fragrant material wrapping around your shoulders.
„Did you have some sort of accident?” Man standing behind Steve asks.
Your eyes come back to Steve’s face. He still leans over you, waiting for the answer.
„I’m sorry, guys.” You wake up from lethargy. „I… I just…”
„Maybe you want to go to my apartment? Is that ok?” Steve offers.
„I… I don’t know what to do to be honest.” You say and you feel better.
Wow. You really feel better now. Saying this out loud and knowing that your neighbor is here with you. You are safe now.
„What happened, doll?” Steve asks quietly.
„I went on a date with some guy from my best friend’s work.” You start looking between Steve and his friend who was looking at you the same way Steve is. „Um… I met him outside the restaurant and we went for a walk.”
Steve's face tightened with every word you spoke.
„And than I received this text from my friend that apparently I did’t meet the right guy.”
„Wait… what?” The other man asks.
„Bucky, shut up.” Steve says firmly.
You realize that you’ve never seen Steve like that. He is… angry? Of course you don’t know him that good, but you couldn’t even imagine the grimace on his beautiful face.
„The worst part in this is that he pretended all this time that he’s Pietro. How is it possible that I didn’t notice?”
„Did he do something to you, Y/N?” Steve’s voice is even angrier. His eyes now search your silhouette huddled on the step.
„No, no, he didn’t. When I found out that he is Ted Bundy, I run away. And destroyed my phone. By accident.”
„Ted Bundy?” This Bucky guy asks with his eyebrows raised.
„Yeah. I recommend you a series about him on Netflix.”
„Well, thanks.”
„Ok.” Steve interrupts. „We should go back inside. You will go to my apartment and stay there. Bucky and I will handle this guy.”
„You don’t need to do this, Steve. I don’t want to stop you. You probably have plans for the evening.”
„Y/N. We will handle him.” He repeats and you know that you can’t fight him.
„Maybe I should call the police?”
You just can’t help but worry about Steve. What if this guy is dangerous? Shivers ran down your spine.
„Actually you’re in the right hands.” At Steve's words Bucky reveals his jacket and shows you his police badge.
This is not what you expected.
„You… I had no idea. Steve, you too?”
„Yes, ma’am.” He answers with a slight smirk. „Ready?”
He extends his hand towards you and you grab it immediately. His skin is warm and you feel nice vibration all over your body as he pulls you upwards.
„You ok?” He asks when you stand in front of him in his big jacket and your hand in his.
„Yeah.”
He nods.
„Let’s go, doll.”
He puts his hand on the small of your back, guiding you inside the building. Bucky follows you.
After parking your car you start feeling a bit nervous. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea?
Nonsens, you remind yourself. Just be yourself. You chuckle slightly. Yeah, just be yourself, they said…
You look at the sign above the Italian restaurant, taking a deep breath and than you cross the street. Your eyes land on the back of some man standing in front of the building entrance. He is dressed in simple dark trousers and an elegant coat. Is it possible that he is…
He turns to me and fixes his eyes on me. Ok, he is handsome. Cool.
„Um… Pietro?” You ask when I’m closer to him.
He just stares at you for few long seconds and than answers:
„Yeah. Yeah. It’s me. Hi.”
His voice is nice. Not like the one of…
Stop thinking of your neighbour, you remind yourself.
„Hi. Nice to meet you. So… maybe we can make it official.” You smile as I extend my hand towards him. He shakes it firmly. „I’m Y/N.”
„I’m… umm… I’m Pietro. Yeah.”
And he’s funny.
You laugh when he seems to be very uncomfortable.
„That’s also my first blind date if it makes you feel better.”
„Oh, great. Yeah, that… Sorry, I’m little bit rusty whit all this date situation. And you look… wow.”
„Thank you.”
It's your good day. Two guys compliments your appearance. That feel nice.
„So… Can we go inside?” You nod your head towards the restaurant.
„Actually. I’m really, really sorry but they messed something up. They cancelled my reservation.” He looks very upset saying that, so you smile at him widely.
„Hey, no problem. That happens.”
„I’m really…”
„Stop that. It’s fine.” You interrupt him. „We can just go somewhere else. Or go for a walk.”
„Ok. Great. So… Let’s go.”
You start walking along the street.
„When Wanda told me about you, I thought it was a stupid idea. But then I thought - why not. She told me about you only good things. So I took a chance. Besides, you know what Wanda is like. If I had disagreed, I think she would have killed me.”
He laughs aloud.
„Oh, yeah. She can be… intense.”
„Exactly!” You also laugh.
You walk for awhile talking about some stupid things like the newest series on Netflix or Trump’s tweeter or previous holidays. You laugh from time to time and he accompanies you. That feels so nice to be on a date again. With handsome and funny Pietro.
„You know what…” You start shyly. „We are near my flat so maybe… We can come inside. Drink some wine and maybe order some Italian food?”
He looks at you surprised.
„Well, that’s great idea. You sure?”
„Why not?”
Because really - why not.
„Lead.” He says.
………………………………………………………………
You laugh, looking for glasses on the shelf.
„Well, that really… well… interesting story.”
Now he laughs loudly.
„Interesting? I think so! You know, I need to tell you about…” The ringing of your phone interrupts him.
„Someone really wants to contact you.” He says watching your face carefully „Maybe you should answer.”
„Nah. I’m busy.” You look at him with a smile.
„So… About this story. That was few months ago and I…
You stop listening to Pietro when you hear you text message sound. You put glasses on the counter and walk to your jacket. You take out your phone and see few missed calls from an unknown number and Wanda. You unlock your phone and…
„Where is bathroom?”
You jump slightly at his question.
„Um… Sorry. Right there” You say and show him white door down the hall.
„I’ll be right back.”
„Sure.”
You wait till Pietro goes to the bathroom and you look back at your phone’s screen.
Wanda: Really? You chickened out? :/ At least you could have warned me.
You frown. What does she mean?
You: What r u talking about?
You don’t have to wait long. You see Wanda’s face and you pick this call immediately.
„Are you serious?”
You look at your bathroom’s door hoping that Pietro is not going to walk out right now.
„Why? I don’t understand why you’re mad.”
„You stood up Pietro, Y/N.” Wanda says.
What?
„What?” You ask.
„What what? Pietro called me that he was waiting for you for an hour now and you never showed up. Why?”
Ok. Now you get it.
„Very funny, Wanda. Too bad he's sitting in my bathroom right now and we're about to watch a movie.”
You need to admit that for one very long second you almost shit yourself.
Wanda goes silent.
„Listen, I’ll tell you everything tomorrow. I promise. For now I can only thank you that…
„Y/N” Wanda interrupts you. Her voice strangely uncertain. „Pietro is not with you. He is at home already. You didn’t show up.”
„Well… no. He is at my home. I met him outside the restaurant and we went for a walk and now…”
„That’s not Pietro. Not the Pietro from my work.”
„What?”
„Y/N, please tell me you’re joking. Please. You’re all alone at home, right? You chickened out and you decided to be single for the rest of your life.”
Although the words Wanda says to you could make you laugh in any other situation, her serious tone and the man waiting in your bathroom make your hands tremble.
Oh my…
„Y/N?”
„He is not… He said that he knows you. And that he was waiting to meet me. But if he is not Pietro… Than who is he?” You ask silently.
„Get out of there. Seriously. Now. I’m calling the police.”
„Wanda, don’t be silly. He is not some…”
„…Ted Budy?”
You swallow loudly. Recently you watched „Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes” on Netflix. So yeah…
Fuck.
„Where is he now?” Wanda asks.
„In the bathroom.”
„Get out of there, he - whoever he is - is not gonna stay there forever.”
As if on cue you hear the door open.
You look at him with your mouth slightly open.
„I get to go.” You say to Wanda and you end the call.
