A/N: Hope you guys enjoy this image. Remember requests are still open, I’m working on a couple of requests currently so look out of those.
You stood up, after being knocked down by Thanos for what felt like the millionth time but getting up this time was different, something felt different, for once you didn’t feel like you were going to lose. It felt like something was about to change and you were going to win. That’s when you heard a voice, a voice that you hadn’t heard in over 5 years.
“Hey Cap, can you hear me? Its Sam. On your left.”
You turn around, facing away from Thanos and his army to see an orange circle appearing, walking out from the portal was T’challa and his Wakanda army. You see Sam fly out and start smiling, tears filling your eyes, you look back at Steve, covered in dirty, blood and bruises just like you but those couldn’t hide the look of joy upon his face. You turn back and see more people coming from the portals, Wanda, your best friend, Peter the kid who was like a little brother, faces of people you had never seen before, they were back, it had worked. Everyone who was turned to dust by Thanos had returned which could only mean one thing Bucky was back. The love of your life who you had watched turn to dust was alive. You did a quick scan of all the people but you couldn’t see him but you knew he was here. Steve walked a little towards you before stopping, looking at everyone.
You turn around and face Thanos’ army, you could hear the Wakanda army chanting, you see Thanos raise his sword. This was it, this is what it had come down to and you were more determined than ever to finish this.
“Avengers.....Assemble.” Steve shouts.
Next thing you knew, everyone was running forward, you hold your sword in both hands and attack any creature that was coming your way, whilst still in search for Bucky. Your eyes scan everywhere, trying to find him but you had no luck so far. There were too many people. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. You look to your left and see Peter in trouble so you head to help him. You stab the creature in front of you before sliding to the floor and taking out the creature heading for Peter. When Peter opens his eyes, he smiles and you help him up.
“Queens, have you seen Bucky anywhere?” You asks.
“I’m sorry Y/n. Not even a glimpse.” He says.
You carry on fighting, you’ve lost count on how many creatures you have killed but they just keeping coming. You are currently helping Rocket who looks like he is having the time of his life.
“Pretty boy went that way.” Rocket tells you.
You look to the direction that Rocket was pointing to, you thank him and head in that direction, as you are running, you don’t see the creature running in from the side. It takes you out, knocking you down the hill, you roll on the floor a few times before regaining sense of everything, you see it running towards you, you go to grab your sword but see its not in reach, it jumps on top of you, you kick out at it and manage to get it off you, you quickly grab the knife from behind your back and throw it at the creature. You then see another one heading for you, you run to pick up your sword, before you can do anything it falls to the ground after being shot. You turn around and look up to say thank you to whoever had saved you and that’s when you see him, Bucky Barnes.
“So I come back from the dead and end up saving your life.” He says making his way down the hill
You drop your sword, tears in your eyes, you couldn’t believe he was standing in front of you. You thought you would never see him again. You quickly run up to him and fling your arms around him, burying your face in his neck, he drops his gun and you feel him wrap his arms around you waist.
“Hey, how long was I gone.” He asks.
“Too dam long Bucky. Too dam long.” You say.
You pull away and look at him before you kiss him. You had missed him more than words could say, you knew this wasn't the appropriate time to having a make out session with your boyfriend so you pull away. He looks at you with a smile on his face, he quickly wipes the tears from your eyes before giving you a quick peck on your lips.
“As much as I would love to continue this, we have some aliens to kill.” He says.
“Together.” He whispers taking your hand in his.
Fighting with Bucky by your side was one of the best thing ever, you two were able to take anything on, nothing could stop the two of you. You knew you were winning this battle, you could feel it deep down, that is until you heard gunshots being fired from one of Thanos’ warship. All around people were being blasted in all directions and they were getting closer to you. You and Bucky were currently fighting 5 creatures, once you had killed them all you didn’t have time to run, Bucky jumped in front of you, the blast a few inches from you caused you to be flung in the air.
“Y/n. Are you okay?” Bucky asks.
You look up to see one of the guns pointing straight towards you, Bucky pulls you into him and turns you around so he can take the full front of the blast, you prepare yourself to be hit but nothing happens. You look up, just in time to see the warship fall from the sky thanks to Carol. You carry on fighting, helping out Steve and Thor, making sure that you could see Bucky, you didn’t want to lose him again. You had no idea how much time had past but you did know that it was the adrenaline keeping you going. All that was about to change, you see Steve fighting Thanos but he gets knocked to the ground, you run towards him but he quickly grabs you by the throat before you have chance to do anything and throws you to the side. You watch as Carol and Tony take turns to try and stop Thanos from getting the stones. You see Thanos about to snap his fingers, you run towards him but its too late he snaps them but nothing happens, you look at Tony to find that he managed to get the Stones.
“And I...Am...Iron Man.” Tony says.
He clicks his fingers and everything just stops, Thanos’ army had been defeated, they were turning to dust, you feel fingers thread through yours and see Bucky by your side. You look back and see Pepper kneeling next to Tony, you knew what was happening but you didn’t want to except that it was. Tony Stark was dead, earth had lost its best defender, he had sacrificed himself to save everyone else.
A few weeks had past since you had won, things weren’t the same as before. You had lost Natasha, Tony and Steve. You were currently staying with Pepper and a few others at Pepper’s cabin.
You turn round to see Bucky walking towards you.
“I’m fine. I should be asking how you are?”
Bucky had lost his best friend, someone who had always been there for him when others weren’t, it was obviously a hard time for him but you wouldn’t think it with how he had been acting.
“I’m fine I’ve told you. I’m happy with Steve’s decision, he deserved to live his life and he did and now I get to live my life with you. Everything is perfect Y/n I wouldn’t change a thing, actually there is one thing I would like to change.”
“And what is that?” You ask him.
“Your surname.” He smiles.
You look at Bucky, a shocked expression on your face. He takes your left hand in his before he gets down on one knee and pulls a box out of his back pocket, revealing the most beautiful ring you had ever seen
“Y/n Y/l/n. I fell for you the moment I started to become myself again. You were there for me when no one else was, you helped me become who I am today and I am so thankful for you coming into my life. I love you so much, I want us to be together, forever, so will you do me the honour and become my wife?”
You were lost for words, you couldn’t believe this was happening. A couple of months a go he was dead and you never thought you would see him again but here was proposing to you.
“Doll, you’re kinda scaring me.”
“Yes Bucky. Of course I will marry you.” You smile through tears.
Bucky slips the ring on your finger and stands up, kissing you, you wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him closer, deepening the kiss. Suddenly you hear clapping, you pull away from Bucky and look to your left. You see Pepper, Happy, Morgan, Sam, Wanda and Bruce all cheering and clapping.
You turn back to look at Bucky.
“I love you too.” You say before kissing him again.
