After everything that happened with your ex-fiancé you wandered around feeling completely broken.
There had never been a thought in your mind as to what would happen if you and Natasha ended so when that happened you weren’t sure what to do.
You left the apartment and hadn’t returned since. From there you decided to stay at the compound, forgetting that Bucky lived there as well. The man had avoided your gaze for seemingly the entire day before trying to talk to you. In the end you flipped him off and left.
If everyone was being honest, they weren’t sure how you were controlling yourself. The woman you loved and a good friend hurt you and you’d managed to not do anything in retaliation.
They deemed you strong. Having long since figured out you were the bigger person.
None of that meant this was easy for you. Not by a long shot.
You’d cried yourself to sleep plenty of nights, laying awake and restless every other. Every emotion you felt surged inside of you and you did everything you could not to act on them.
Crying became too much, anxiously not sleeping was unhealthy, being angry would only have resulted in you doing something you’d regret. And for the most part, you thought you were keeping yourself in check.
Until that day.
At the time, the roof of the compound was your only escape from everything. And so there you stood, basking in the day.
But like all good things it came to an end.
The sun’s light and warmth were cut off from you and you opened your eyes to find one of the two people you truly never wanted to speak to again.
Bucky didn’t fake a smile this time, he just sighed and spoke,“ Y/n, I’m really sorry about everything that happened. I know-”
Deciding you didn’t want to do that, you turned to leave.
Stopped seconds after by the cold vibranium of Bucky’s hand.“ Y/n just hear me out. Natasha and I-”
Eyes wide you looked back at him,“ you and Natasha? What you two just couldn’t wait to get together once I was out of the picture huh?” Scoffing you pulled your arm from his grip.
“It’s not like that!” He exclaimed, fed up with you not listening.“ Natasha loves you and I care about you!”
“Bucky I don’t have the energy to yell at you, you’re not worth it anyway. So whatever explanations or bullshit excuses you want to spill right now I don’t want to hear it.”
That time when you turned to leave he didn’t reach for you.
Just as you thought you were in the clear, walking toward the common room, the literal last person you wanted to see stopped in front of you.
Her green eyes didn’t hold the same shine they used to, strands of her hair hung from the ponytail she was wearing, and one of your old sweaters covered her body. She looked bad, and no doubt felt bad, but you were sure you’d been hurting worse.
“Please don’t, I really can’t right now Natalia.”
“You aren’t returning any of my calls or texts and I haven’t seen you in weeks.”
A glare fixed on your face you said,“ I said goodbye Natalia what did you think that meant? Had I wanted to see you again I would’ve said so.”
When you saw the heartbreak in her eyes you almost wanted to take it back but you didn’t. She broke your heart much worse than you had her.
The woman’s shoulders dropped and tears poured down her cheeks,“ I never thought you’d be this harsh to me.”
“Me? Harsh? Need I remind you, you cheated on me with my friend Natalia! You promised to be loyal and planned to spend the rest of your life with me. I’m harsh? Natalia you broke me! You ruined everything we had and-” you blinked past the tears pooling in your eyes,“ for what?”
“Y/n calm down.”
Perfect timing.
As your chest heaved with each breath, Natalia in front of you, Bucky’s voice joined. Having obviously just come from the same path you had.
“Bucky cut the shit! You both have been walking around pouting and crying as if you’re hurt! As if this isn’t all your fault!” At that point you wouldn’t have been surprised if everyone in the compound had heard you. Nor did you care.“ I’m so done with both of you. I just wish you’d just leave me alone, I wish I’d never met either of you!”
You were more than riled up. You could feel your own heart pounding and you thought they could hear it as well.
Natasha took a step toward you, her hand grabbing yours. You pulled away in anger, snapping at her to not touch you. And Bucky made the mistake of grabbing your arm from behind.
Whatever he said about relaxing is lost on you. In your over emotional state you hauled off and punched the man in the nose.
He stumbled back, more so out of shock than you actually having hurt him.
Both he and Natasha looked at you incredulously, and it was then that you noticed the rest of the team standing in the back. All eyes were on the scene you’d caused.
Embarrassed, hurt, and angry, you left. Walking to your room and somehow not having tripped through your tears.
You weren’t sure where you were going but it wasn’t an option to stay there.
As you packed your bags you heard the door behind you open and close. You’d stilled, thinking it was Natasha or Bucky.
“I can’t begin to understand what you’re feeling,” the younger woman’s voice met your ears,“ but I’m here for you if you need me.”
Perhaps it had been her tone of voice, she was so genuine in her words, so sympathetic, or it was just the fact that she had come in, whatever it was, it made the tears finally spill from you eyes.
You’d cried before but not like this. This had been your breaking point and Wanda was there to hold you through it.
That was a year ago.
Since then you’ve left the team. As much as you love saving lives you couldn’t do it with those people anymore.
Instead you chose to become a cop. It wasn’t ideal but it was the only thing you could thing of to fulfill your need to help.
You of course found another place. Tony was more than happy to offer you support when he found out. The billionaire put you up in a more than satisfactory condo in Manhattan.
Sam and Steve still come by every weekend or so just to check in with you. You are still their friend and they couldn’t stand losing you over Bucky and Natasha’s mistake.
But more helpful than all of them, was and is Wanda.
The Sokovian was there for you every moment from the day you broke down to now. She held you as you cried, got you out of the house when you didn’t even feel like moving, and went to the gym with you when you had to blow off steam.
Months had gone by of her being your biggest supporter and best friend, so many that the way you felt about her had changed.
You stopped seeing her as Natasha’s best friend or your old teammate. In your eyes she’d gone from being your friend to seemingly an angel. And you found yourself falling for her.
There were a million reasons why you didn’t say anything at first. Not only was she still Natasha’s friend, but you weren’t sure how she felt about you. Until one night, while out walking in the park, she’d slipped up. She said she loved you as if it wasn’t the first time, like she had thought it so much it wasn’t even new to her. Feeling the same way, you kissed the woman.
From that point on you two grew closer and closer, romantically.
Now you stand just barely inside the compound, the facility you hadn’t stepped foot in in a year, a bouquet of white lilies in hand. You’re waiting on Wanda, who just got back from a two week long mission with Steve.
As you stand there awkwardly you catch a glimpse of familiar red hair, the tips blonde.
Looking up, your eyes meet those emerald orbs and you take a deep breath. She’s watching you, taking you in like she had the first time she saw you.
“Y/n I- what- you’re here.”
Someone would think she’s seeing a ghost the way she speaks. Then again you hadn’t seen each other in all this time.
“Hey Natasha.”
You hadn’t called her Natalia and that was a step up in her books.
Hesitantly, she walks closer,“ what’re you doing here? How are you?”
Preparing to answer you breathe in, but your reply doesn’t come.
“Milaya!”
You immediately look toward the girl at the sound of her voice. A smile splits across your lips and you accept the hug she wraps you in, her lips pressing on to the corner of yours.
“Hi.” You whisper.“ These are for you. I missed you.” You tell her, holding out the flowers.
She takes them, eyes flickering beside you,“ I missed you too.”
It’s not that you’d forgotten Natasha was there, her presence just simply paled to that of Wanda’s. And she knows that.
Watching the two of you, both smiling as if the world had been placed in your hands, she realizes how she’d truly lost you. There was no getting you back at this point, and maybe it’d been like this for a while, she just hadn’t known until now.
Your girlfriend smiles at the red head,“ hi Natasha.”
And the red head smiles back,“ hey Wan.” She swallows, using all her strength to hold back tears,“ I won’t keep you, just wanted to say hi.”
With that she turns around and takes purposeful steps away.
“Hey,” she pauses at the sound of your voice, turning back to look at you,“ it was good seeing you Natasha.”
Her eyes never leave you, watching as your arm curls around Wanda’s waist and your lips press on to her temple, not until you’re gone from her line of sight.
No matter how much it hurt to see, she knows it’s for the best. What she had done was irreparable, by her at least. She broke your heart and Wanda fixed it. It was better this way, even if it meant losing everything she’d had.
You were the only face I'd ever known.
I was the light from the lamp on the floor,
And only as bright as you wanted me to be.
But, I am no gentleman, I can be a prick,
And I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
Everything we had, everything we had is no longer there.
It was the only place I'd never known.
Turned off the light on my way out the door.
I will be watching wherever you go,
Through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
Everything we had, everything we had is no longer there, longer there.
You saw for yourself, the way it played out.
For you, I am blinded.
For you, I am blinded, for you.
I am no gentleman, I can be a prick.
And I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exists.
Everything we had, everything we had,
Everything we had, everything we had.
Everything we had, everything we had,
Everything we had
I'll be with you wherever you go,
Through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
