You slammed the front door behind you and practically ran up the stairs towards your bedroom. You wanted nothing more than to break down, to cry, to scream. But you refused to show your weakness in front of your fellow avengers. Bucky was a few steps behind you the entire time. You accidently shut the front door on him but he didn’t take offence by it. Instead he simply unlocked the door then ran up to your room where he knew you would be. When he walked in, he felt his heart break.
You, the woman he loved but could never have, was sitting on your bed, knees up to your chest with your hands gripping your hair tightly as your face was screwed up from crying. He stood in the doorway for a second, taking in the sight before him. He felt anger boiling inside him. How could Pietro do this to you? You were perfection! You were funny, gorgeous, intelligent, kind, caring and most importantly, you were you. And there is nothing that Bucky would change about you. Yet here you were, sobbing over a man who never deserved a chance. A chance Bucky would kill to get.
“Y/N…” Bucky said quietly. He wanted to say something to make you feel better but his mind went blank.
“Get out.” You said. Your voice was quiet and cracked slightly but Bucky still heard you. “Please… Please just leave.” You begged. Bucky swallowed as he thought. He wanted to hold you and make you realise you’re worth more than him, however he also wanted to respect your wishes. He decided to do the latter and go but not before reminding you he’ll be just a few doors down if you needed him.
Two hours you had been locked in your room. Bucky could hear your crying for ages, although you did quieten down nearly half an hour before. Bucky left his room to walk down to yours to see if you were ready to talk about it but when he did, he quickly went back in his room. He saw Pietro walking down the corridor, happiness written all over his face – probably because he was just on a date. Bucky didn’t want to look at the man. He felt nothing but pure hatred and disgust towards Pietro.
“Hey babe.” Pietro said as he walked into your shared bedroom. You looked up from your book and gave him a large smile, greeting him as he walked towards the bed. Not long ago you cleaned yourself up, made sure no one could ever tell you were crying.
“How was your day?” You asked as he sat down beside you. He started talking about how he went to the library and started reading a new series and got caught up in it; which you knew was a lie. “I’m glad you had a good day.” You smiled at him. “Well, I didn’t realise how late it was.” You muttered when you looked over at the time. It was only half nine, but you wanted this day to end. “I’m going to go to sleep.” You snuggled your way down under the blanket, facing away from Pietro and towards the wall. Pietro swiftly followed your actions and took off his clothes (leaving on just his boxers). He cuddled you from behind, wrapped his arms around your waist. You wanted nothing more than to shove him away, to tell him to fuck off, that you knew what he did. But when he whispered that he loved you and kissed the back of your neck, all your hatred faded away.
There was no way for you to deny that you loved him. You really did! If someone had asked you six hours before, you would have said that Pietro was your soul mate. Even now, some part of you still believed that. Even though he was cheating on you, you still couldn’t help your feelings for him.
You ended up falling asleep with peace of mind. Pietro always managed to make you feel safe when wrapped in his arms, his steady breathing tickling your neck, his natural scent filling the air.
“Morning, Buck!” You said happily as you strolled into the kitchen. It was six in the morning and Bucky was doing his usual. Having his breakfast and a cup of plain black coffee before going to the gym at six-thirty for a two-hour session. You try to join him for at least breakfast every morning mainly so the two of you can spend some time alone together. You loved the Avengers, but sometimes constantly being surrounded by at least four other people took its toll.
“Morning, doll. I wasn’t expecting to see you this morning.” Bucky said. He stood and walked over to the kettle, pouring a cup of your favourite type of coffee. You took it whilst saying a thank you before replying.
“And whys that?” You asked as you both sat down next to each other at the breakfast bar. Something inside you already knew why Bucky didn’t think you would show up today.
“Well…” Bucky sighed. He didn’t know how to phrase this. “After last night… I’m assuming there was some arguing?” He raised his eyebrow a little as he waited for an answer.
“No, there wasn’t.” You bit your lip as you braced the disappointing look Bucky was about to give you.
You told him everything. How you pretended to be alright when Pietro came home. That he told you he was in the library and got caught up in a book. (“But he doesn’t even read” Bucky interrupted) And most importantly, how you think you’re going to forgive him. You’re still in love with him, there was no doubt in your mind about that. The second the Avengers brought Wanda and Pietro back to the compound and introduced you to them, you knew Pietro was the one. He smiled at you as he introduced himself. It didn’t take long for you to be laughing with him until it hurt. That was your favourite thing about Pietro. No matter how depressed or angry you are, he can always bring a smile to your face.
When you finished telling Bucky everything that happened, you took a small breath before looking over to him. You were expecting to see a look of disappointment but instead saw one of anger. Pure, red hot anger.
“Y/N, this man is cheating on you.” His voice was eerily calm, not matching his expression at all. “I understand that you love him, but he can’t love you back if he’s willing to cheat.” Bucky felt a pain in his chest when he said this. You love him! Not Bucky. Pietro. The man who has put you through nothing but shit since the second he asked you out. The man who didn’t love you back. The man who, in Bucky’s eyes, was absolutely insane.
“Maybe it was just a one off.” You said with false hope. Bucky’s mouth dropped when you said this and it took him a few attempts to properly string a sentence together.
“One off?” Bucky said with shock. “Y/N, it doesn’t matter if it’s once or twenty times, he cheated.” Your face sunk at this. You knew Bucky was correct. No matter how much you loved Pietro, he still cheated on you. There was no changing that.
“I need to tell him I know about the other woman, don’t I.” You said with a sigh. Bucky nodded and placed his hand on your knee in a way to comfort you. “Do you think you could be there with me?” You asked with hope. Bucky thought for a second but ended up shaking his head.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea, doll. I already want to strangle him so watching him deny it won’t help my need to kill him.” He said seriously. You knew he wasn’t joking but couldn’t help a little laugh. He was always so protective of you.
“I do love you, Buck.” You said. You stood and walked around to the cupboard in order to make yourself some breakfast. You looked away from your best friend too soon to see the hurt in his eyes, knowing that the ‘I love you’s’ you say to him will never be anything more than platonic.
“Pietro? You in here?” You called out as you walked into your shared bedroom. He didn’t answer with his voice, however, when you heard the shower running in your en suite bathroom, you knew that he was here. Slowly, you walked over to your bed and took a seat, nervously playing with the hem on your shirt as you waited for him to join you. His showers are usually quick so he would be out in less than five minutes.
You went over the script you had made in your head once more. You knew exactly what you were going to be saying to him and even if he didn’t follow the script you made, you would hold your ground. You were the one in the right here, he was in the wrong. He cheated on you. Pietro. Cheated on you! You weren’t going to allow that. You deserved better than him. You deserved someone who treats you like perfection. Someone who treats you like the way Bucky does. But obviously, he would have to see you in a romantic way and not just as his best friend. You need a man who doesn’t lie to you. Who comes home and is happy to see. Who makes sure-
“Pietro.” You stood up the second he unlocked the bathroom door. He stepped out with a tower around his waist, his wet hair sticking to his skin and water droplets falling down his skin. You had to admit, he looked extremely attractive. However, you refused to allow him to distract. Although he may look good on the outside, on the inside, he’s nothing but a cheat. “I need to talk to you.” You said. You couldn’t look him in the eyes.
“Y/N? Baby, is something wrong?” You cringed when he walked towards and took your hands in his. He tried to catch your line of vision but you wouldn’t look at him. You couldn’t!
“I know what you did.”
