Y/n arrives outside of Bucky's mom's house in Brooklyn. Steve was waiting for her outside, like he said he would. He helps her with her baggage.
"No, thank-you." Steve replies.
She notices his appearance, very different from how he looked in Europe. He was clearly trying not to break down himself. Y/n gave him a hug, he let out a short sigh and hugged back tightly.
"Not good. He hasn't eaten anything since we've been back. Sam and I have been taking turns keeping an eye on him." He tells her as they walk up the front steps of the house.
Steve abruptly stops right before the door.
"Just want to give you a heads up. It's a bit of a mess in there. He went on a bit of a rampage and broke a few things," He warns her, "And Bucky doesn't look how he left you."
She nods her head, understanding what he was telling her.
Y/n started to feel like maybe she shouldn't be here. Who is she to Bucky? Who is she to come in here and help a man she only met two weeks prior. But if the people closest o him thinks she can help, then it's worth the shot.
As they walk into the door she's greet with someone yelling and banging on a door. She and Steve move farther into the house, Steve placing her luggage in the living room. She quickly took a look around to notice the damage Bucky had done, trying not to step on broken cups, plates, or picture frames.
"Bucky, open the door!" Sam yelled, as they found him in the middle of the hallway outside a door.
"What happened?" Steve asked.
"He locked himself in there and refuses to let me in. Or answer me." Sam explains, finally noticing Y/n with Steve.
"Thank- you for coming." Sam greets her with a tight hug.
Steve looks at her with pleading eyes, then back towards the door.
"I can give it a try." She whispers.
"Thank-you." Sam says, "We'll give you two some space."
"We'll be cleaning up out there. Just yell." she nods.
Sam and Steve left her alone in the hallway. Y/n took a deep breath and knocked on the unknown door.
"Bucky. Hey it's Y/n." she said, pressed against the door.
On the other side of the door, sat Bucky frozen at the sound of Y/n's voice.
"Bet you weren't expecting to hear my voice." She tries to keep it lighthearted.
"Steve called me. He and Sam are really worried about you. He also told me what's going on. I am so sorry James. I can't even imagine what you could possibly be going through." She paused for a second, "I'm here if you want to talk, or you just need someone to sit with you."
She waits outside the door quietly for a minute, before she hears some quiet movements from the other side. Then she hears the unlocking of the door, and some more shuffling around.
She took another deep breath, before opening the door.
She walked in and softly closed the door behind her. She took a look around to discover that this must've been Bucky's childhood room. She then notices Bucky sat on his bed, facing the window, his back towards her.
She made her way towards him, and took a seat to his left.
"Hi." she softly said, looking at his side profile.
"Hi." He very quietly said, that she wasn't even sure if he said anything.
He looked at her. She finally understood what Steve meant. He looked so broken, clearly having not slept since arriving, the dark bags under his eyes letting her know that. The sight alone broke her heart.
She slowly brought her hand up to his tear stained cheek. Gently caressing his cheek. Bucky closed his eyes at the gentle touch, leaning more into it as she softly rubbed it with her thumb.
No words being said, just a comforting silence enveloping them. Y/n not wanting to push him to talking when he clearly didn't want to.
Bucky stopped her hand, she was taken back until he rested his head on her shoulder. She relaxed at his touch, wrapping her arm around him as best as she could. Just holding him.
After a few minutes of silence she looked at her shoulder to find Bucky had fallen asleep.
She smiled, finally he'll get a moment of peace. She slowly moved his head off her shoulder, laying him down on the bed, then placing his feet up as well. She grabbed a blanket at the foot of his bed to cover him with. Placing a soft kiss to his forehead before walking away.
As she was starting to leave his side, she felt a hand grab her wrist, she looked down then back to the man it was connected to.
"Stay with me. Please." he sadly said looking up at her.
"Of course." she softly smiled at him.
Y/n took her shoes off and climbed in next to him, where he had scooted over making room for her. She laid with her back to him as he wrapped his arm around her, cuddling up against her.
"Thank-you for coming." he whispered against her neck.
"Anytime." she replied, lacing her fingers through the ones that held her.
[Social Media AU]: Y/n is a popular travel blogger, and a freelance travel writer for a magazine. She travels the world with her two best friends, Valkyrie who is a freelance graphic designer that the reader “drags” out of bed to see the world, and Carol who’s a new up and coming model. This is the first time in a year all three girls are traveling together due to Carol’s new busy career. A month long European excursion, that might end up being their last trip together due to their lives taking them elsewhere. Bucky Barnes used to be a model but now travels the world with his best friends. He has a hard time commiting to one thing, which is why he loves to travel so much. He travels the world with his two best friends, Steve who runs a gym in Brooklyn and Sam, who works for a popular food magazine where he gets to travel and eat all the food he wants. Bucky has once again convinced his childhood best friends to join him on a month long trip to escape the trapped feeling of being back in New York. Steve and Sam are worried about Bucky and his constant need to runaway from his issues, they’re hoping this trip will be an eye opener for their friend.
