Love Sick

Characters:

Steve Harrington x Henderson!Reader

Plot:

Steve pays you a visit when he found out that you are sick.

It’s been two days since you got sick. It started with a simple cold but yesterday fever took over your body. Dustin and your Aunt Claudia wanted to bring you to the hospital to get a doctor’s opinion, but you told them that it’s just a fever and you just need to take a rest.

You have been staying in bed all day and taking a nap, but when you opened your eyes, the first thing that caught your attention is your gorgeous and adorable boyfriend.

“Hey there, queen of naps,” he greeted you when he saw your eyes opened. He was reading a book but he put it on the side now that you’re awake.

“Hey, what are you doing here?” you asked in a raspy voice.

“That’s not the question we should be asking here.” He leaned forward and took your hand, “Why didn’t you tell me you’re sick? I asked Dustin about it and he said you didn’t want him to tell me.”

It was your decision not to let Steve know about your situation. You know that it’s a bit unfair since he’s your boyfriend, but you didn’t want to worry him further and you know that Steve’s grandma was in town visiting him.

“I didn’t want to bother you. Your grandma’s here and I want you to spend time with her,” you reasoned.

“Since when did you become a bother to me?” He squeezed your hand and now that he’s looking at you like that you feel guilty for not telling him. “I’m your boyfriend and I should be by your side, taking care of you. My grandma is fond of you so she would understand if I needed to leave her with my parents for a while.”

“I know, but Steve,” you put your other hand on top of his and this time you squeezed it, “I am totally fine. I just need to rest and I’ll be back on my feet in no time.”

“That’s not the point, y/n. The point is if you’re not feeling well, you should tell me. I deserve to know because I want to take care of you,” Steve pointed out. “So can we please make a promise to each other that we’re gonna be fully honest about our wellbeing from this day on?”

You can’t help but smile when you heard him being bossy.

“And don’t try to charm me with your smile because no matter how irresistible you are, that won’t work,” he said. You pulled yourself up and you were able to sit up despite the body aches you’re feeling. “What are you doing?” Steve asked while trying to help you.

Instead of answering his question, you cupped his face and told him, “Steve Harrington, you are the best boyfriend in the world. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about my fever. And yes, I promise to not do it again.” Your thumb caressed his cheek. “And thank you for saying that I still look irresistible despite the state that I am in right now.”

Steve frowned, “Why? What state are you in right now?” he asked innocently.

“Come on, Harrington. I’m wearing a big-sized hoodie and my hair is like a bird’s nest. My nose is dripping and my throat is itchy as hell. Do you really think that I am feeling so gorgeous right now?” you said.

Before Steve replied, he gave you a quick kiss on your lips. It’s a quick one, just enough to make you want more. “Let me tell you, if you’re not sick right now, you would be underneath me right now and I’d make you feel the most worshipped woman in the world.”

Steve stared at you, promising you that he would do the things he said if it weren’t for your fever. And if it weren’t for your fever, you’re probably straddling his lap right now and making out with him.

Before you could even say anything, Steve tucked you into your bed and as he pull the blanket over your body, he leaned forward and kissed you on your lips and on your forehead. He took a seat on the edge of your bed and said, “The day you and I entered this relationship, we promised that we will be there for each other, and that includes in sickness and in health.”

You chuckled, “Isn’t that for married couples?”

“Well, I’m marrying you anyway, so might as well start livng it now,” he said.

“Thank you, Steve.”

“Get rest now. I will stay here until you get better. My grandma will have the best time of her life scolding my dad, so I don’t think she’s gonna mind,” he joked. “I love you.”

You pinched his nose, “I love you, Harrington.”

Sequel of Torn in Between

Characters:

Steve Harrington x Henderson!Fem!Reader

Summary:

After a year of staying with the Byers in California, you decided to come home.

Ever since the day you left, Steve would always come by the Henderson's to see if you're back. He'll stay until the sun sets, waiting for the light on your room to signal him that you're home. But for the past 12 months, there's no luck for him.

Dustin eventually forgave Steve for breaking your heart. Steve explained to Dustin why he got confuse with his feelings for you and Nancy, but now he's 100% sure that he is in love with you.

Even though Nancy was his first love, you are his great love, the love of his life because you were there with him in his good days and even in his bad days.

There's not a day that Steve regrets his decision of letting you go, of letting his confusion took over him.

On the other hand, you were having a good time with the Byers. Joyce asked you to stay for a while and you were her assistant while she's working at home. When she's busy, you'll cook for El, Will, and even Jonathan. It was also the best way for you and Jonathan to relive your friendship that went on a blur when he and Nancy became together and when you and Steve became a couple.

You wanted to stay in California, but your mind and your heart is always in Hawkins. You miss the kids a lot, especially Dustin. So even if you're already staying with the Byers and El for a year, you finally decided to come home.

It surprises you that the first person you saw in front of Henderson's residence was the guy who made caused you to stay in California for a while.

Steve was about to head home from Henderson's residence when he saw a taxi coming to a complete stop in front of the house. And when he saw you stepping out of the vehicle, his heart skipped a beat.

He haven't seen you in a year, and each passing day, he'll look at your photo on his wallet just to get by because he knows that he won't last a day without seeing you.

"Y/N," Steve approaches you as soon as he went out of his car, "You're home."

The taxi driver put down your suitcase in front of you, that's when you handed him your fare.

You faces Steve as soon as the taxi stormed off, "What are you doing here?" you asked him.

"Waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?" you frowned in confusion, "I didn't tell anyone that I'm coming home. Not even Dustin."

Steve nods, "I know."

"I don't understand you, Steve. Why are you here? How did you know that I'll be coming home?" you asked.

He shakes his head, "I didn't know. I had no idea that you're coming home tonight and if I knew, I should've bring the ring with me."

"Ring? What ring?" you shook your head in disbelief, "If you didn't know that I'm coming home, why are you waiting for me?"

"Every single day, I would stop by here just to wait for the light in your room to come on. I never stopped believing that one day, you'll come home. I won't come home without stopping by, without checking if you're back, and every night I'll come home with a lost hope, until tonight," Steve took a deep breath before he brings up about the ring, "The ring, I bought a ring a month after you left, because I want to ask you to marry me the moment you come home."

"You're gonna propose?" your eyes widened.

"I know it's crazy. I know there's a huge probability that you'll say no because I caused you so much pain, but I want you to know that even if you say no, I won't stop. I would ask you everyday. And even if I have to court you, even if I have to be your slave, I will!" Steve gently grabs your hand and kissed the back of your hand, "I love you so much, and I'm sorry for hurting you."

You sighed as you caress his cheeks, "Steve, I tried to be mad at you for hurting me, I tried my best to be furiously mad at you, but I can't. I hated myself for that. You broke my heart, and yet, my heart still belongs to you. But right now," you shook your head, "I want to know if I'm the only one in your life, because I can't and I don't want to share you with anyone. And most of all, I don't want to live in the shadow of another woman in your life."

You tried to move on when you were in California. You wanted to forget Steve and everything that has happened between you two, but you can't.

Whenever you'll try to forget Steve, all you could remember was those good memories you shared together. Every night you wish to be beside him. Every day you would hope that it was his kiss that'll wake you up in the morning.

You tried to deny to yourself that you'll go back to Steve when you get back home, but now that he's in front of you, sincerely apologizing for his mistakes, you can't help but admit that you have never stopped loving him. Not even an inch.

Steve nodded, "I get that you're scared that I might still have feelings for Nancy, but whatever I had with her and for her, it was long gone. You don't have to live in the shadow of any other woman because there's only you in my life. The whole time you that you and I were apart, I only thought of you. No one even came close."

"Steve, I'm scared," you admitted just as when your tears started to run down your cheeks.

"I know, I know," he cupped your cheeks then he kissed your forehead before he continue speaking, "But I need you to trust me this time. I need you to trust me because I assure you that this time, there's no more confusion, there's no more going back."

"How will it be different this time?"

Steve rested his forehead against yours, "Because this time I won't let you go anywhere. It's you and me against all odds." He pulls away and looked at you, "You're the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. No one else."

Just when you're about to open your mouth, you heard a familiar voice coming from the porch.

"Y/N?!"

You and Steve instantly turned around, only to see Dustin running towards you.

You meet Dustin halfway and hugged him tight.

"You're back! Oh, my God! You're really back!" he yelled as he hugs you tightly.

"Yes, shithead, I am back," you answered.

When Dustin pulled away from your hug, his eyes went to Steve and that's when he realized that you two are in the middle of an important conversation.

"Oh, did I interrupt your reconciliation?" Dustin asked innocently, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I just got so excited when I saw Y/N."

Steve shook his head, "Nah, it's okay buddy. I just want Y/N to know that I love her so much, that I'm willing to earn her trust again, but that's it. I don't want to pressure her or anything, so," Steve looks at you and smiles at you, "So I'm gonna give her time to think. I'm not rushing her."

You smiled back at him, "Thank you, Steve."

"'Course," he gave you another smile, the smile that you miss the most, "So I'll just see you when you're ready to talk."

You nodded, "Yeah. Get home safe, Steve."

•••

It has been three days since you got home.

Since the night of your arrival, Steve didn't bother you, but he'll send you something each day. The morning after you got home, he left flowers outside your window. The next day, he put a note on the glass of your window that says "I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait, no matter how long it takes." And this morning, you got a fruit basket from him.

You appreciate his efforts so much, and you can feel his sincerity, but he's not just asking you to get back together, but he's also asking for your hand in marriage.

It was one of your plans together, but when you two broke up a year ago, you thought those plans changed. And now that Steve's willing to fulfill those plans, you don't know if you're ready for it.

"So should I start addressing you as Mrs. Harrington?" Robin teased you when you visited her at the video shop. Of course Robin would know about the ring.

You rolled your eyes at her, "Stop it, Robin. It's too early for the teasing and all. I just came here to say hello."

"Just to say hello? Or you're here to ask me how did Steve go when you left and came back a year after?" Robin asked, but you didn't have to answer her because she's about to give you the answer to her own question, "He was miserable for the first few weeks. He doesn't go to work. He just stays in front of your house. But when he and Dustin reconciled, Steve became better. He came back to work. He promised himself and the kids that he will make himself better so that when you come back, he'll be worthy enough for your forgiveness and love."

"What made him buy a ring?" you asked.

"Steve once told me about your plans together. Both of you planned to stay in Hawkins, and build a life here. Steve realized how much time he was losing because of his confusion and supposed stupidy, so he used half of his savings to buy a ring without any idea when he'll be able to give it to you. He wasn't sure when you'll be back, but he's sure of one thing," Robin's brows moved up and down as she smiles at you, "He loves you and he wants to live his every day and every night with you."

You chuckled, "Did he also mentioned about his plan of having six little Harringtons?" you asked.

"He sure did!" Robin exclaimed.

Despite the 12 months of being apart from each other, and despite the heartbreak he have caused you, you know in your heart that you will always belong to Steve Harrington.

"Y/N, he loves you. I'm not saying this because Steve's my friends. You're my friend as well and I just want you guys to be happy," Robin said.

"Thank you, Robin," you replied.

"So should I start planning your bridal shower?" Robin joked.

You laughed, "Whatever. Anyway, I have to go. I'm gonna go and talk to Steve."

Just when you're about to leave, the glass door of the family video shop opened up by Nancy Wheeler.

"Hey," she greeted.

You smiled at her, "Hi."

Your eyes went to Robin, who walked away seconds later to give you and Nancy a little privacy.

"Jonathan told me that you two worked out your friendship again," Nancy said.

You nodded, "He told me about your plans together of moving in. I'm happy for both of you."

"Yeah, thanks, but we're still not sure if we're gonna move in together there in California or here in Hawkins. There's still a lot of debating to do," she joked, which made you laugh. "Y/N, I'm sorry," she suddenly said.

"No, Nance," you held her hand, "You don't have to apologize. We're just human beings and we're not perfect."

Nancy smiles at you, "I heard from Mike that Steve proposed to you."

"And I supposed Mike heard that from my dingus cousin," you said.

"You bet."

"Well, we still have to talk about it, but I'm glad that we're okay now. No more awkwardness," you tapped Nancy's shoulder, "I'll see you around. I have to go to Steve and say yes."

Nancy nodded, "Sure. I'll just see you around!"

•••

"Y/N?" Steve said in surprise, after realizing that it was you who knocked on their door.

"I lost my trust in you, not because I don't love you enough, but because it broke my heart knowing that there was still a part of you that belonged to Nancy. If you can promise me that this time it's just gonna be me, only me, I can have faith in you again. I can trust you again," you announced.

He crossed the threshold and his hands immediately found its way to your cheeks, “I’m not gonna make promises. I’m not gonna swear anything, because everyday I’m gonna show you that there’s only you.”

“It might take a while for me to fully trust you again, but…” you sighed and held Steve’s hand, “…but I love you, Steve. I can’t lie to myself anymore that I can live without you.”

“Well, good thing you don’t have to,” Steve smiled.

This is what you have been thinking about the whole time you were apart, that if you ever come back, will Steve still be here? And guess what, he never left. He has always been here waiting for you.

“Look, Y/N, you can take as much time you need. I want you to trust me again, and even if I have to wait for another year or two, I won’t be going anywhere,” he said. “You’re still the woman I want to share my life with, the woman I want to have little Harringtons with.”

You rolled your eyes, “So it’s still six?”

Steve shrugged, “It can be up for debate.”

You laughed and when Steve heard it, he couldn’t stop himself from closing the distance between the two of you and pressed his lips on yours.

At first, it was soft. It’s like Steve is still testing the waters between the two of you, but when you put your hands against his hair and pull yourself closer to him, his kiss became hot and intense. This is his way of showing you how much he missed you and that every hour that you were apart were a misery to him.

Steve pulled both of you inside without breaking the kiss. The next thing you know you are already straddling Steve’s lap and he can’t stop himself from showing you that you are the only woman he wants and needs.

“I love you,” he says against your lips.

You gently pull your lips away from him, but you remain still on top of him.

“Do you really want to marry me?” you asked.

Before he answers, he put the hair blocking your face behind your ears and rested his hands against your cheeks. “They say that when you found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want to start spending it right away. And I believe in that.” His other hand reached for your hand and kissed its knuckles, “I would understand if you’re not ready yet. And I wouldn’t force you to do it now. I’m willing to wait until you’re ready. I just want you to know that there will be nobody else. It’s just you and me. Nothing and no one in between.”

Of all the things that has happened in Hawkins, you know that you need something to ground you. Something that will remind you that life is still good and something good is coming. And that’s what Steve is offering you.

“I don’t want to waste any more time, Steve. A lot of things has happened and I want us to start living our lives together,” you said.

“So…”

“So, yes, Steve. I will marry you. We will start our lives together here in Hawkins or wherever you want. We don’t have to debate about the nunber of kids we’re having because I’m down to whatever the future holds for us.” Tears fell down against your cheeks and Steve immediately wiped them away. “I love you, Steve Harrington.”

Steve immediately pressed his lips against yours. “I love you. I love you. I love you.” He took something out of his pocket and you saw that it was a small navy blue velvet box. He opened it in front of you and saw the emerald cut engagement ring inside it. Your eyes went back to Steve and that’s when he asked you, “To make things more official and real. Y/N, will you marry me?”

A genuine smile formed on your lips as you reply, “Yes, Harrington. I will marry you.”

Home Sweet Home

Characters:

Eddie Diaz x Female!Reader

Summary:

The reader and Eddie are living in together with Christopher. You just got home and saw Eddie sleeping in the couch, waiting for you.

Nothing but fluff and sweet conversations

A/N:

I haven’t written anything in a while. Let’s see if I still have it lol!

It’s been a long day for you.

You finished a lot of works today and all you wanted is to crash into the bed and have the best sleep you can get before another long day tomorrow.

You went inside the house and upon opening the light, you saw Eddie lying on the couch, peacefully sleeping.

A smile immediately formed in your lips.

You put down your keys and your bag by the rocking chair and you approached your sleeping boyfriend.

It’s been 2 years since you two met.

There was a huge fire that took place in the hotel you used to work at. You got trapped in one of the guest's rooms because you were trying to rescue one of the guests too. Good thing the firefighters from 118 came to rescue you, and it was Eddie who saved you when you were almost hit by a falling debris.

You owe your life to Eddie.

If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be where you are today.

A few days after the fire, he checked up on you to see you're okay and that you're not experiencing any trauma. Then he went back again after a week, not to just check on you but to get your number. Since the day he got your number, the two of you are constantly exchanging messages.

Until one day, he finally asked you out, and the rest was history.

"Hey," you gently caressed his cheeks to wake him up.

His eyes slowly flicker and when he saw you, he got up and sat down on the couch, "I fell asleep while I was waiting for you."

You sat down beside him, "Yeah, I noticed that."

"You worked pretty late today," he said as he stretched his arms.

"We had a lot of issues today with our upcoming group, so I had to stay and negotiate with them. Good thing I'm finally home," you answered.

He wrapped his arms around you and hugged you as warm as he could make you feel, "Yeah, you're home. Chris was actually waiting for you too, but I guess he fell asleep." You felt Eddie kissed your head, "I guess I'm not the only one who misses you."

"Aww, I miss you and Chris too,” you answered as you rest your hand on top of his chest.

This is what made you so excited to come home — to feel secured and happy in the arms of your boyfriend. Ever since you two moved in together, you stopped experiencing nightmares that you’ve been experiencing since you were a kid. And every single time you wake up in the morning, your heart is filled with so much love just by seeing Eddie and Chris.

“By the way,” Eddie faces you but his arms are still wrapped around you, “It’s my off this weekend. I’m planning to take you and Christopher out.”

“That sounds like a nice plan to me,” you answered with a smile on your face.

“Are you sure you’re okay to go out with us? I’m worried you might have to work this weekend, given the circumstances you’re dealing with right now,” he said.

You cupped his right cheeks and assured him that it’s totally okay, “I’m off this weekend too anyways. Plus, I’ve been wanting to go out with you and Chris. I can’t even remember the last time we went out, just the three of us.”

“How ‘bout on Monday?”

“On Monday?” your brows furrowed in confusion, “Chris has school, right?”

“Yeah, but I’m talking about just the two of us,” he said. “I mean, the three of us are already going out this weekend, so I’m wondering if we can have Monday just for the two of us. Like, after we drop Christopher off his school, we can go somewhere, then we’ll pick him up in the afternoon afterwards.”

“I mean, I can take a day off on Monday too, but are you sure you want to go out on Monday? Just the two of us?” you asked.

He grabbed your hand and smiles at you, “Why not? It’s only fair to have some quality time for both of us, right?”

In all honesty, you are excited for some quality time with Eddie.

It’s been a long time since the two of you dated, because the two of you will always think of Christopher first. After all, you promised to each other that Christopher will be part and the top priority of your relationship.

“Sure,” you replied. “So where are you taking me?”

He winked at you, “That’s for me to know and for you to find out.”

“God, you are so full of surprises!” you commented.

Your relationship with Eddie has been both a blessing and a gift. He’s been there with you, through the ups and downs of your life, through thick and thin, through turns and twists. It was like he completed the real meaning of “love” in your life. And there’s no other person you would rather take the risk of falling in love than him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” he suddenly asked you, not knowing that you’ve been staring at him.

You shook your head as you fix his hair and gave him a smile.

Well, you know your boyfriend too well. He’s not gonna take that as an answer, “Come on, tell me.”

“I just realized how damn lucky I am,” you confessed and you felt his hands on top of yours, “All my life I’ve been looking for someone who could finally understand me, who could love me and teach me to love myself even better. I’m so glad I finally found you.”

“No,” he kissed the back of your hand and gave you a reassuring smile, “I found my way to you. Right from the moment I saved you, my heart already knew you weren’t just a stranger that I needed to save. I had a hard time forgetting you, so I stopped trying to forget you instead, I accepted the truth that you are someone I won’t be forgetting.”

“I know I’m hard to forget,” you joked.

Eddie chuckles, “I have no plans of forgetting you,” he extended his arms around you and pulled you towards his chest, “You’re stuck with me, whether you like it or not.”

“I have no plans of resisting,” you answered.

Can you do both?

Characters:

Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader

Summary:

When Steve saw you being disrespected by Billy, he threw punches just to defend you.

It was the fourth of July and everyone was in the carnival to watch the fireworks. You went with Nancy who's with Jonathan who's babysitting his brother and his friends. So you and Nancy ended up being babysitters as well.

Dustin, Max, Lucas, Mike, El, and Will are riding the ferry's wheel while you, Nancy and Jonathan went to the nearby ice cream vendor to cool off.

"Hey, why didn't you invite Steve with us tonight?" Jonathan asked you as he handed you your chosen ice cream flavor.

"Yeah, it should be fun!" Nancy agreed.

"Why is everyone asking me about Steve?" you asked both of them and lick your ice cream before continuing your complaints, "Earlier, my mom asked me if Steve will pick me up for our next week's outing. Then, when I picked up Dustin at their place, he asked me if Steve's outside to bring us here. Then here you are, asking me why Steve "The Hair" Harrington is not with us right now. Can you guys give me a break?"

Nancy and Jonathan exchanged glances and chuckles.

"Someone's being cranky," Jonathan said.

"Well, you can't blame her," Nancy added.

I gave Nancy a death glare.

"Why? What happened?" Jonathan asked when he saw the way you glare at his girlfriend, "Come on, you guys have to share it with me."

I groaned, "Fine," you lick your ice cream, "He was supposed to meet me yesterday at the video store, but I waited for almost an hour only to find him playing video games in the arcade with Dustin and Will. I mean, I have no problems with him being close to the kids, but he could have at least tell me that he won't be coming. I waited for almost an hour!"

You and Steve agreed that you'll find a new movie to watch last night, but he didn't show up in the video store. So you asked Robin where you can find him and she said she saw Steve went inside the arcade along with kids.

It didn't piss you off that Steve was with the kids, what pissed you off was he forgot about you.

"So she's avoiding Steve since yesterday," Nancy added to your story, "And not to mention, Steve was in front of their house last night trying to talk to her, but Steve, oh, Harrington failed to do so."

"Wait, can I ask you something, Y/N?" Jonathan asked.

I raised my eyebrows and waited for him to shot his question.

"What is your status? I mean, are you guys dating or what?" Jonathan curiously asked.

"Byers, are you high?" you asked innocently even though you clearly understand what Jonathan wants to know.

"Well, sorry for being a nosy friend. It's just that ever we fought the Demogorgons at our place, the two of you got closer each day and you two were inseparable. You were his date on our graduation party. You slow danced together. And ever since summer began, you two were always hanging out at his place, your place, Wheeler's, or even at Dustin's. Everyone's getting confused already. So if I may, what's the real thing about you and Steve?" Jonathan asked.

Your closeness with Steve Harrington was unexpected. When you were in Sophomore, you hated him because he feels so entitled. But when you fought with him against the Demogorgons, you realized that he isn't that bad at all. Steve was kind and soft-hearted.

After the battle against those monsters, Steve asked you to be his partner on your final project in Biology. Then, you got closer to each other even more. The next thing you know, he's your date for the graduation party, you are already spending so much time with each other.

"The question is, do you like him?" Nancy made the easier question.

Yes! I like Steve! I like him a lot!

"I don't know what you guys are talking about," you rolled your eyes at them, "I'll just go to the restroom. You wait for the kids here and I'll meet you guys back here."

"Woah, you're blushing!" Jonathan yelled but you disregarded him.

After you went to the restroom, you were on your way back to meeting Nancy and the rest of your friends, but Billy suddenly appears.

"Where are you going sweetheart?" Billy asked you as the threw his cigarette away, "Trying to look for a good time? I can give you that!"

You scoff, "A good time? With you? I don't think so," you tried to walk past him but he suddenly grabbed your wrist and made you face him again, "Let go of me"

"Come on, we'll have fun," he tried to pull you with him, "Harrington's not giving you a good time but I will! I definitely will!"

"Fuck you! I said let go of me!" you screamed.

Billy didn't listen, he kept on pulling you with him. You were trying to ask for help from the people around you but they're not listening. The music is too loud and the carnival games are making it harder for you to be heard by other people.

Suddenly, you felt a hand on top of Billy's hand intertwine with your wrist.

"You heard her," you followed the hand and you saw Steve glaring at Billy. Billy stopped from pulling your wrist and faced the person who stopped his evil plans with you, "She said let go of her."

Steve grabbed your wrist away from Billy. He pull you behind him to face Billy.

"Oh, King Steve is here. I've been waiting for you to save your damsel in distress," Billy sarcastically said.

Just when Steve was about to make a step closer to Billy, you stopped him by holding his hand and whispering to him, "Steve, no."

You didn't want to Steve to be in trouble.

"Is your little slut girlfriend stopping you to fight me?" Billy continue with his taunting, "Oh, poor Steve, he's stuck with a whore."

Steve didn't waste time and he threw a punch on Billy.

Everything went fast. Steve was punching Billy, then Billy punched him back. The next thing you knew, Billy was knocked out and was being dragged by the security out of the carnival. Before you could even confront Steve for being too impulsive, he grabbed your hand and went straight to his car.

"Where are we going, Steve?" you asked him while you two were on the road.

"I'm taking you home," he answered.

"What?!" you yelled, "Why?! Everyone's at the carnival to watch the God damn fireworks and you're taking me home?!"

"Yes, okay?! I'm taking you home because we'll talk!" Steve yelled back.

You scoffed, "Talk about what?!" you shook your head, "You are unbelievable, Steve Harrington!"

After that, silence took over.

Steve stopped in front of your house and as expected, no one's there since your parents are also in the carnival to watch the fireworks, which you planned to do as well, but here you are, brought home by Steve Harrington himself.

You two are in the front porch of your house when you noticed bruises and blood on his face and his knuckles.

Your conscience made you feel guilty because Steve won't be in this scenario if he didn't defend you against Billy.

"Let's put some ice on your face before it gets worse," you told him before you opened the door.

While you're busy getting ice and ice pack from the kitchen, Steve was in the living room. He was roaming his eyes around when he saw a familiar photo pinned on the wall.

It was a photo taken almost two months ago when he picked you up for the graduation party. Your parents took a photo of you and Steve, then they joined the photo and that was the photo pinned on the wall. You, Steve, your parents, it was precious to see for Steve, seeing how important he is to you and your family.

"I told them not to do that," you entered the living room and saw Steve looking at the photo.

You sat down beside him when he asked you, "What?"

"I told my parents not to display that photo. People might think something's going on between us," you explained.

"It's no big deal for me," Steve countered.

You use a clean cloth to wipe the blood off of Steve's face before you use the ice pack to treat his bruises on his face and his knuckles.

"Look what you did to yourself, Harrington," you commented while wiping the blood off of his face, "Your face is a wreck. You shouldn't have done that."

"Done what? Defending you from that douchebag?" Steve shook his head, "I'm not just gonna stand there and watch him disrespect you and listen to his shitty mouth."

"I understand that you want to defend me, but you know Billy. He's full of shit," you said.

"Like what I said, I'm not just gonna stand and watch you being disrespected like that. I won't allow it," he said.

You sighed, "So you will not allow anyone to disrespect me but it's okay with you that I wait for you for almost an hour?" you sarcastically asked him.

"I know you're avoiding me because of that," he grabbed your hand and took the ice pack from your hand and placed it on the table, "I'm sorry. I was trying to help the kids forget about those bullies, and I have no idea how to do that so I just brought them to the arcade."

You nodded, "You should have at least tell me, Steve. If it weren't for Robin, I'd wait there for nothing."

"I'm really sorry," Steve said sincerely.

You could see sincerity in his eyes, so you just nodded and all your frustrations went away in thin air.

While you were treating Steve's bruises, you can feel how he stares at you, which brought so much consciousness to you.

"You are so beautiful," he murmured.

The way he said that made your heart skipped a beat. You could feel all your hair going up in the air.

You didn't notice that Steve is getting closer to you, the next thing you know, you are already kissing him back passionately.

You could feel his hunger while kissing you. His left hand managed to hold you on your neck. Your hands are rested on his shoulders and you find yourself lost on his kisses.

Suddenly, you had a flashback of the time you realized that you like Steve Harrington, the time you have fallen in love with him.

So if I may ask, what's the real thing about you and Steve? — Jonathan's question earlier made your eyes widened and stopped from kissing Steve back. You gently pushed Steve away and stood up from the couch.

"Stop! Just stop!" you yelled.

Steve stood up as well as he looks at you in confusion, "I'm sorry. I thought..."

"I said stop!" you stopped Steve from talking by yelling again, "You are confusing me, Steve Harrington! You know that?! You are confusing me so much and I don't know what else to do! Everyone's asking me about you, looking for you! Everyone's asking me if we're together or...or if we're dating! And I don't know what to tell them because I don't even know the answer to myself! And now here you are, you kissed me and I'm confuse even more! What's with you, Steve Harrington?! Why are you treating me like this?! Why are you making me feel that I'm important to you?! Why are you making me feel that you like me?!"

"Because I do!"

You were surprised when Steve yelled back at you, bur you were more surprised with his answer.

"I know that I'm confusing you, but I didn't mean to. Everyone is also asking me about you. Everyone is also looking for you and asking me if I saw you or if we're together. I also get questions whether we're together or dating. Just like you, I don't know the answer when they're asking me those questions. I wanted to tell them that "yes, we're dating" or "yes, Y/N and I are together" but how am I gonna do that if it's not even true?! And the fact that it's not true makes my heart break into pieces because I do like you, I do want us to be together and I do fucking love you!"

Your eyes flicker a few times as you try to process everything he said.

I do like you. I do want us to be together and I do fucking love you!

That part kept playing on your head like a recorded tape.

"Now is the perfect time for you to say something," Steve said as he began to worry because you've been speechless for quite some time now.

"Yeah, ummm," you clicked your tongue, "Can you repeat the last part of what you said?"

"Do you want me to use my words or do you want me to just kiss you to make it easier?"

"Can you do both?" you asked.

He chuckled as he brush his hand through his hair, "I love you, Y/N."

Steve walked towards you and closed the remaining space as he claim your lips once again. His arms are wrapped around you like he doesn't want to let you go.

"Just to make things official," he stopped kissing you for a while, "You're my girl now, right?"

-v.dl

You smiled and nodded, "Your girl from this day on," you confirmed and cupped his right cheek, "I love you too, Steve Harrington."

Everyone's watching the God damn fireworks, and here you, being kissed my Steve Harrington.

Torn in Between

Characters:

Steve Harrington x Fem!Henderson!Reader

Summary:

After reconnecting and spending so much time with his ex, Steve finds himself torn between two women – Nancy Wheeler, his first love, and Y/N Y/L/N, the woman who has always been there with him.

A part of you has always known that this moment will come, but you had no idea that it would happen anytime soon. If only you knew it's gonna come for you tonight, you could've prepared yourself.

When your Aunt Claudia told you that your boyfriend, Steve Harrington was outside and wanting to talk to you in private, you knew something was not right. Your heart already knows what's about to happen. Just when you're about to go out and face the moment that will break your heart, Dustin asked you to tell Steve to come inside after you two talk to play with him and his new board game.

Oh, poor Dustin, he has no idea what's about to happen.

As soon as you got outside, you saw Steve resting his back against the door of his car.

You wanted to come back inside and hide from what's about to take place, but you know to yourself that you can't hide from it. And also, you can't fool yourself that you and Steve are not okay these past few weeks and you know the reason why.

"Steve," you called him.

He faces you as soon as he heard your voice.

"What are you doing here? It's late," you said, disregarding the look in his eyes that made your hunch even stronger, "What do you want to talk about that cannot wait until tomorrow?" you asked.

This is the same scenario when Steve admitted his feelings for you.

A year and a half ago, Steve take no notice of time and honked his car in front of the Henderson's residence. The sound of his honk woke you up, and also Dustin. So in front of your annoying cousin, Steve told you that he loves you and he's willing to do whatever it takes just to date you, just to have you in his life.

Who would have thought that it's gonna be the same scenario when he's finally ending things with you?

"I need to talk to you," Steve said with no emotion.

"About?"

He sighed, "About...about y...about ah," he stutter as he tries to find next words to say.

You smiled at him, the same time your eyes blur as your tears are forming in them, "It's about us, isn't it?" you asked.

Steve looked down and avoided your gaze, for it made sense to him that you already have the hint of what he is about to say to you. It breaks his heart even more, knowing that you are already hurting.

"Just say it, Steve. Just finish my agony and be honest with me. I know something's not right with you, with us these past few weeks, and it all started after you reconnect with Nancy," you nodded, "Just tell me that you haven't stopped loving her, that it's still her all this time."

"This is not easy for me," Steve finally had the urge to look at you in your eyes.

"And it's not easy for me to accept that you're about to break my heart, Steve," you sniffled as your tears started to run down your cheeks, "You promised me that you won't hurt me. You promised me that we're in this together. You promised me that it's always me and you. You promised, Steve. You promised."

Steve wanted to punch himself right now. He hates to see you like this.

It was hard for him to break things with you because you two shared good memories together. You've done a lot of things for him that proved to him and to everyone how much you love him. He has given you everything he can just to make you feel worthy, but sometimes all these things aren't enough.

Confusion started to took over Steve's mind and heart when he reconnected with Nancy. Questions like what if he and Nancy ended up together kept on bothering him.

"Y/N," Steve walked towards you and cupped your cheeks, "I want to fulfill that promise, I want to be truthful of those promises but it would be unfair to you."

"So it's still Nancy?" you asked him but you got no answer from him, "Did you ever loved me?"

"Of course, I did. I still love you, bu--"

"But not as much as you love her."

Never in your wildest dream have you ever imagined that this is how you and Steve will end up.

Both of you are certain that after you two graduated in college, you'll save up money and get married. After that, you'll build your own family together and grow old. But that's not how it turn out to be.

"It seems like you don't have the courage to end this, so I'll just do you a favor," you took a step away from him, then wiped your tears away, "You're free, Harrington. We're over."

Just when you're about to turn your back on him, he spoke again.

"That's it?" he asked, "You won't fight for me? For us?"

"You should ask that to yourself because the last time I checked, I'm not the one who's torn between two women. It's you," you told him.

+++++

It has been two weeks since you and Steve broke up.

When Dustin find out about it, he went to Steve and confronted him for breaking his cousin's heart. Dustin was so mad at Steve, furiously mad. He swore that he didn't want to see Steve anymore and doesn't want to hang out with him anymore.

Lucas, Mike, Max, and Robin tried to fix things between Dustin and Steve but there's no luck. They also tried to talk to you about talking to Steve again, but they failed as well.

Steve tried to live out the decision he made, but a part of him tells him that what he did was a mistake –it was a mistake that he let you go.

Robin asked Nancy if she still have feelings for Steve, but Nancy shove the idea as she was just mad at Jonathan for not showing up during the break. Nancy got confuse but now she's certain that she loves Jonathan and doesn't want to end things with him. Nancy and Robin thinks that Steve's situation is just like that as well. Maybe Steve got mixed up with the idea that Nancy was his first love.

"You look like a zombie, Harrington," Robin commented when he approached Steve stacking up their new movie supplies.

Steve groaned and shook his head, "I feel like my head's gonna explode," he said.

"So you and Nancy had the talk last night?"

Steve nodded, "Yeah, she told me that she won't break things with Jonathan. She told me that I should make up my mind and know what I really want," he said.

"Well, what do you really want?" Robin asked.

"I don't know. I mean, I'm certain that I felt something when Nancy and I reconnected when we were after the whole Vecna thing, but it hurts me so bad that Y/N doesn't want to talk to me in any way. She gave me back all the things that I gave her, including the polaroid camera I got her for her birthday, and it broke my heart," Steve explained.

"Steve, the boat is sinking, who do you save, Nancy or Y/N?"

"Y/N!"

"There it is," Robin clapped her hands, "You have the answer to your own mouth, Harrington."

"There's no doubt that I love her, okay? The thing is I'm gonna be unfair to her," Steve pointed out.

Robin frowned in confusion, "Unfair in what way, dude? You and Y/N broke up two weeks ago, and did you do anything about your questionable feelings for Nancy? No, you just stayed at home and mope around. That's it. You weren't hurt when Nancy tells you that she won't break things with Jonathan, that she loves him You were hurt when Y/N doesn't want to talk to you and gave back the things you gave her. It's clear as day that you love Y/N and that you just got confuse with the fact that Nancy is your first love. But that's just it."

After hearing Robin's point, Steve started to have flashbacks of the good times with you. Those times you were making out on his car and the kids would interrupt the two of you. Those times you were in the Drive in and cuddling with each other while watching movies. Those times you two were driving around just because you two were bored. Those time Y/N was comforting Steve and making him feel that everything's gonna be alright.

"Steve," Robin tapped Steve's shoulder, "Don't waste Y/N just because you thought your first love is better than any of those good memories you had with Y/N."

Steve didn't waste time and grabbed his car keys and drove to the Henderson's residence.

When Steve got there, Dustin, Lucas, and Max were gearing up to bike around.

"What are you doing here, douche?" Dustin asked Steve, who just got out of his car.

"Chill out, Dustin," Max reprimanded.

"Dustin, I need to talk to Y/N. I need to talk to her," Steve said.

Dustin scoffed, "For what? Is breaking her heart not enough? You want to do it again? Just try, Harrington, I'm gonna scratch your newly-painted car!"

"Henderson, I love her. I love your cousin and I'm so stupid to break her heart. I know you're mad at me for what I did, but I'm begging you, I'm asking you to be my buddy once and for all. I just need to talk to her. I love her. I love her with all my heart," Steve didn't noticed that tears are already running down his cheeks.

When Dustin saw Steve's tears, he knew he was telling the truth.

"You're already too late," Dustin said, "She left."

"Where did she go?" Steve asked.

"She went to California with Mike to visit the Byers and El," Max answered.

"When will she be back?" Steve shot another question.

Dustin shook his head, "We have no idea. She might stay there for quite some time."

"But why?" Steve asked.

"Harrington, you broke her heart. She needs time and space to heal. So whether you like it or not, you have to stay here and let her heal. Stay here and regret the biggest mistake you've ever done," Dustin said before we rode his bike, "Lucas, Max, let's go!"

Lucas, Max and Dustin rode their bikes and left Steve.

Steve is still trying to process what he just heard from Dustin, and when his eyes went to the window of your room and saw the blinds are closed, Steve knew Dustin was telling the truth. You are gone.

Here & Now

Characters:

Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader

Summary:

You caught your boyfriend talking to his ex, but he made it clear to you that you should not worry about anything.

Warning:

Fluff

"Come on, babe, it was nothing," Steve whispered as he walk after you.

You were in the library, trying to find the book that Dustin and Lucas were trying to convince you to read. You were supposed to find it with Steve, your boyfriend, but just when you're about to find him, you saw him in the hallway talking with Nancy, his ex.

At first, you weren't bothered by the idea of Steve talking to Nancy. You are friends with Nancy and Jonathan anyway, but while you were looking at them, you remembered that she was Steve's first love and it made your heart flinched a bit.

Was it jealousy? You have no idea.

So instead of approaching Steve, you turned your back and walked away from him. But Jonathan saw you, so he told Steve that something's not right with you.

"Babe, I swear to God, there's nothing going on between me and Nancy. We're over a long time ago," he continue to explain as he follows you.

You clicked your tongue as you stop from roaming around and faces him, "I know. I'm 100% aware of that," you sighed and closed your eyes for a second.

"Then what's wrong?" he asked.

You shook your head, "I know that you and Nancy are friends now, and I am friends with her as well and Jonathan. The four of us even go on a double date twice, but," you bit your lower lip as you try to find the right words to tell Steve.

"Babe," he held both of your arms, "You know I hate it when you bite your lips like that. It's torturing me."

Steve snaked his hands on your waist and slowly pulled your body closer to his. He put strands of hair behind your ear before he cupped your cheek and as he lean forward to give you a kiss, you tilt your head and avoided it.

"Steve, as much as I want us to make out, I think we have to talk about this once and for all," you gently moved your body away from him.

"Hey," Steve reached for your hand and squeezes it, "You can always tell me anything. So whatever it is bothering you, tell me."

Well, he is right.

You two has always been open with each other. Your relationship was full of good moments, and even though you two sometimes argue, you are both deeply in love with each other.

"I just can't help but think that Nancy is your first love. I mean, I have no problems whether you guys are talking or not, but sometimes, it's running around my thoughts," you admitted. Steve was just looking at you, realizing that you've been carrying this baggage all this time, "Steve, you know me, I'm not the type of woman who lives and depends on the past, but this...this is just different. She's your first love."

"But I don't love her anymore," he quickly responded.

Since the first day you and Steve dated, he constantly reminded you that whatever he and Nancy had is not important anymore. He never did anything to make you feel insecure about anything, but the fact that Nancy Wheeler is the first woman to make Steve Harrington change and fall in love, it's just different.

"She changed you, Steve."

His eyes flickered, not quite sure what you mean by that.

"It was Nancy who made you first feel love, who made you fall in love. She's your first love and you know what they say about fucking first love," you shook your head, "First fucking love never dies."

Steve pressed his back against the bookcase behind him, still not removing his eyes from you.

"So you think that I'm still in love with her?" Steve asked you.

His question caught you off guard.

You sensed that he's somehow insulted by your thoughts, which is the last thing you want to make him feel.

"You really think I'd do that to you?" he asked you with a crunch on his face, "You think that I'd use you to get over her or use you as a rebound?"

"No," you groan as you reach for Steve's hand, "Babe, it's not about you. I'm sorry," you looked down and sighed, "I guess it's just me being paranoid."

Steve may be annoyed with your jealousy but it doesn't change a fact that he loves you and every bit of your paranoia is part of it. He embraced your flaws the moment he fell in love with you and the moment he chose to be with you. He prepared himself that there will be a time that you'll feel insecure about something, but he promised himself that he'll have longer patience with you, because he rather lose his pride and ego with you than lose you over his pride and ego.

You felt Steve's hands on your cheeks. He motioned you to look up to him and when your eyes met, you know that he can never be mad at you over anything.

"Let me ask you something," Steve started, "Who has always been there for me when I needed someone to talk to?"

You were hesitant to answer his question.

"Please, answer me," he gently said.

You cleared your throat before you reply, "I am."

"Whose parents did I talked to just to ask if I could date their daughter?"

You chuckled, "Mine."

"Who said yes, I love you with every beat of my heart, Steve Harrington, to me?"

"I did."

"And lastly," he lets go of your face and moved his hands on your waist as he press his forehead against yours, "Who's with me now?"

You smiled as you close your eyes, "I am."

"You're fucking right, Ms. Y/L/N. It's you, always been you," that was the last thing Steve said before he cupped your face again and kissed your lips.

Father & Son

Characters:

Bucky Barnes x Fem!Reader

Summary:

There's no greater joy than seeing your husband and son happy. And there's no greater joy than hearing them talk about how much they love you and how grateful they are for your existence in their lives.

Warning:

Fluff

Life has always been good to you, from your childhood up to this day.

You have a pretty normal but fun childhood. You grew up in a complete and happy family. You have loving parents. You have a good set of friends. But it didn't stop there.

You became part of S.H.I.E.L.D. when your friend, Maria Hill, recommended you to Nick Fury. And that day changed your life forever.

Aside from being close to the Avengers, you got the chance to meet the love of your life, Bucky Barnes. It was a miracle that he asked you out when you were in the middle of a firing session with Nat and Maria. And who are you to say no? You like him and you can't deny the fact that you adore his charms and the way he is in the field.

To cut the long story short, you and Bucky got married after 4 years of dating.

It wasn't an easy journey. You two had rough patches along the way. You encountered ups and downs but you two never stopped being in love with each other, instead, the two of you loved each other even more.

You and Bucky are happy together. But you two became the happiest when you found out that you are pregnant with your first baby.

That was the longest nine months of your life. You never thought you'd survive it after experiencing tons of cramps and pain, but here you are, enjoying the life you have with your two favorite boys in the world.

The moment Nicolai was born, Bucky found another reason to see you as the strongest woman in the world. You once kicked his ass in sparring, he missed a target and you didn't, but giving birth to your child is the best proof he has in believing that you are indeed the strongest person he has ever known.

Now that Nicolai is four years old, he can say and express things inside his mind and his heart that's why it melted your heart when you heard him and Bucky talking about you.

You just finished cooking your dinner and you're about to call Bucky and Nicolai to eat, but before you could enter the room where they are, you heard them talking.

"Dad, who's stronger between you and Mom?" that was the first thing you heard when you were about to enter the room.

"Well, of course, your mom," Bucky answered instantly, "She carried you in her tummy for nine months and I can't imagine how she was able to do that."

You wanted to go inside and tell them that you were able to survive those long nine months because Bucky was there by your side and he never left.

"But why do people say that men are stronger than women?" Nicolai innocently asked.

"That's the biggest misconception in life, baby," Bucky gently caressed Nicolai's cheeks, "They thought that just because men have muscles, they are stronger. But I have always believed that women are stronger. I wanted to explain why and in what ways but you won't understand it right now, but someday you will," he mumbled.

"Mom is the most amazing woman in the world."

When you heard that, you completely lost it. Your tears run down your cheeks as you smile and continue to eavesdrop.

"She is," Bucky said as he carries Nicolai and rested him on his lap, "That's why we're both lucky to have her in our lives, don't you think so?" he asked.

Nicolai nodded and smiles at his dad.

"You know I was shy when I first met your mom," Bucky told Nicolai.

"Really?" your innocent boy asked. He can't believe that his dad had some trouble asking you out when you two just met, "But I thought--"

"Nicolai, even the strongest man has a weakness, and it turns out my weakness back then was whenever your mom is near me," Bucky chuckled, "She has this strong personality that I don't know how to handle. She's sweet yet she's brave. I know for myself that I like her, that I want to ask her out but God my knees were shaking whenever I'll try to talk to her."

Years after you and Bucky started dating, he finally admitted why it took him so long to ask you out. He was scared of you in the sense that he's scared that you might reject him and break his heart. He also said that whenever he's gonna go and try to ask you out, he'll find himself going back to his room and not doing anything at all.

"How did you overcome that?" Nicolai asked, still a bit shocked at knowing that his dad was scared of asking his mom out when they were younger.

"Well, I saw some boys going after your mom too. So I said to myself, if I don't want to lose her, I should do something and stop being a coward. And the next thing I knew, I went to your mom and asked her out. You can ask your Aunt Nat how nervous I was because she was there the whole time I asked your mom out," Bucky still remembers the day he asked you out and made your heart flutter.

Natasha was your and Bucky's proof of how scaredy-cat he was that day.

"Thank you," Nicolai softly said as he got off Bucky's lap and hugged him.

You sneak your head and you saw how surprised Bucky was when Nicolai thanked him and hugged him.

"For what honey?" he asked.

"For being brave enough to ask mom out."

Before Bucky could finally speak again, he saw you on the door. The two of you exchanged smiles and glances.

"If you weren't brave enough that day, I don't I'd be here today," Nicolai said.

"Well, we should thank your mom too," Bucky's eyes pinned on you again as he continues to talk to Nicolai who is still hugging him, "We should thank her for everything she has sacrificed for us. She is and will always be a gift to us. We're lucky to have her."

There's no greater joy than hearing Bucky and Nicolai talk about how special you are in their lives. They love you, and there's no single doubt on that.

Though you and Bucky have experienced troubles along the way, those troubles helped the two of you appreciate little things and both of you learned the art of loving each other in good times and also in bad.

"I love you," you mouthed, which made Bucky's smile grow wider.

"Well, looks like it's time for dinner," Bucky said then he gently made Nicolai face him, "Let's go and eat dinner with momma?"

Nicolai nodded excitedly.

Things do really change when you're already married and when you're already a parent but no matter how hard any situation is, the joy of seeing your family happy is enough to ease the hardships away.

Special Memory

Characters:

ExBf!Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary:

It has been 5 years since Bucky called it quits. You have moved on with your life, but he didn't, because he will always love you.

Warning:

Angst

Heartbreak

Five years has passed since Bucky broke your heart.

At first, you have no idea how you would be able to move forward. You have given up everything for him, you have devoted everything to him, you thought what you two had would be as strong as Clark Kent. But it wasn't. You woke up one day and found him on your doorstep, only to tell you that you don't deserve him, that he would only broke your heart. He called it quits.

It took you so long before you finally moved on from him. And when you did, you found your way to live again, and years after you found yourself falling in love with your widower neighbor, Steve Rogers.

Steve was a good man to you. He's sweet and he's full of positivity despite what happened to his wife. His reasons for being so positive is his four-year-old son, Aj.

They took your heart and healed it even more.

You were afraid to give love another shot, but Steve promised you the commitment you want and the life you've been dreaming since you were a kid, something Bucky wasn't able to fulfill.

Unknown to you, Bucky didn't want to end things with you. Why would he? You were his life, you still are even up to this day. But he did what he did because he wanted to protect you from a worst heartbreak. He found out that he's dying from bone cancer, and so he didn't want to cause you more any trouble and break your heart even more when he left this world. So he ended up breaking your heart as early as he could.

But Bucky promised himself that when he got better, if a miracle would happen, he would find you and come back to you.

A miracle indeed happened.

He did everything to recover from his illness. He used you as his strength, he used you as his source of will to get better, so that one day, he will come running to you and telling you how much he truly loves you.

But that's not gonna happen anymore because of what he just witnessed today.

You, Steve, and Aj were having lunch in your house. You thought it was just a simple lunch with your favorite boys. But Steve had another plan.

Steve got off his chair, bend on one knee as he pull out a velvet box out of his pocket, asking you if you want to marry him, and be his wife and Aj's mom. You had no idea that Bucky was watching from the porch of your house, fighting the urge to cry after realizing that you have moved on, just like what he wanted 5 years ago.

But now, he was asking himself if he made the right decision.

A part of him says he did made the right decision, because he can see you very happy with how your life turned after your relationship with him ended. But he's gonna lie if he would deny that there's a part of him that has hope that your heart still belongs to him.

Clearly, what's happening is telling Bucky that what you two had before is really over. You have moved on and you have a new life now.

Bucky's heart broke into million pieces when he left you years ago, but his heart remains broken during those days he was longing for you, and up to this day, the day he confirmed and realized that he will not have you again.

Not aware that your ex is outside your house, you nodded as you say yes to Steve's proposal.

Steve has always been so good to you. He has always been there for you and you know that he'll never leave your side no matter what happens. You know Steve is the man you've been praying for to save you from your nightmares and darkest days, and you know that he'll continue to save you in the next few years of your lives together.

When Steve finally put the ring on your finger, both of you stood up and hugged each other.

You felt home. You felt assured.

But as you hug Steve, your eyes saw a human built in the window.

That was a familiar built, you said to yourself.

You narrowed your eyes to confirm your hunch, and when you noticed that it was a guy wearing two dog tags, your heart started to beat so fast, not because there's someone standing outside the window, but because you know already who that guy is.

"Bucky?"

Steve slowly detached himself from you, "What's that honey?" he asked in a concerned tone.

You looked at Steve and smiles at him, "There's someone at the door," Steve looked back, "Don't worry, he's an old friend," you assured him.

"Are you sure?" Steve asked you when he moved his eyes back to you.

You nodded, "Yeah, I'll just talk to him. You and Aj should continue with your meals. I'll catch up with you two," you said before you planted a kiss on Steve's cheeks and on Aj's forehead.

As you make your way to the front door, you took a deep breath and prepare yourself to face the man who broke your heart years ago. You are not mad at him anymore, you moved on and you got to thank him because if it weren't for him, you won't be in the place where you are now.

You opened the door and stepped outside.

Your eyes meet Bucky's eyes and you saw tears in his eyes.

"I guess," he clenched his jaw and gave you a sad smile, "I guess I'm too late, aren't I?"

You nodded, "You're five years late."

Bucky nodded, "But not to apologize, right?"

You smiled at him and went closer to him, "You don't have to apologize to me anymore, Buck. I understand why you had to leave five years ago," you told him.

"You do?"

"Yeah," you nodded, "Sam told me about your illness. As much as I want to find you and tell you that I want to be with you when you fight with that cancer, I can't. I don't know where to find you because you cut us out. I wasn't brokenhearted because you left me, I was brokenhearted because I know you needed me and yet I wasn't there. So I decided to move on, but there wasn't a single day that I stopped praying for you and your safety, Bucky," you sighed as you felt tears coming out of your eyes, "You know that I'm not a religious person, but for you, because of you, I prayed every single night, every single day."

You did everything to find him, so you can be there for him, so you can take care of him. But no matter how hard you try to find him, you can't. You soon realized that it is very hard to find a person who's hiding. So you helped him and took care of him in the possible ways you can.

"And now that I saw you, so strong and so healthy, I can finally put my mind at ease. And now that you're in front of me, I can finally tell you that I wished you trusted me more before," your voice broke as you say those words to him.

"Y/N, I trust you. You know that," he said.

"No, I don't know that, because if you trust me enough, you wouldn't leave me at the first place. You would tell me about that illness of yours and you would let me stay by your side, but you didn't," you shook your head as you wipe your tears away, "I understand why you left, why you broke my heart. But I will never ever understand why you never trusted me."

He looked down as guilt took over him, "I'm sorry."

"I have my own life now, Buck. There's nothing I need to tell you anymore, but I wish you good luck and I wish you'll find happiness like I did," you smiled at him when he met your eyes again.

Tears were forming in his eyes.

"I really lost you, haven't I?"

"That was the choice you made. You left me with no choice, Buck. I can't just pause my life for you, I can't just freeze my heart, my life for the man who didn't even trust me," you said.

Bucky nodded, understanding every word you said to him.

There's no more right words to tell you. He knows he lost you a long time ago now. And that there's no way he can have you again.

Before Bucky turned his back on you, "I hope you know that I did what I did because I love you. I really do and I still do," despite the pain, he looked at the ring on your ring finger, "I hope he'll make you happy, as much as I can."

"He does, Buck. He really does."

"Then, I guess I don't have to worry about you anymore," he exhaled sharply and looked at you in your eyes, "I'm sorry again and for the end time, I love you, always."

If only he said those words to you years ago, the answer you could've given him was I love you too, but it's different now and you answered him differently now.

"Goodbye, Bucky."

Totally Not Fine

Characters:

Endgame!Steve Rogers x Avenger!Reader

Summary:

Everyone is grieving for Natasha's death, but aside from grieving for a colleague, you're also grieving for your best friend, a sister, and Steve is there to comfort you.

Warning:

None

If there's one person you would like to dedicate you being on S.H.I.E.L.D. and being part of the Avengers, it would be Natasha.

When Fury introduced you to the team as Maria's assistant, Nat saw something special and something different in you. She knew instantly that you could be more than just an assistant, that you could do more in the field. So every weekend or every free time you have, Nat will be asking you to train with her.

And Nat was damn right, you're a fighter. Not iust a simple fighter but a combative one. Your proof? You kicked Steve's ass when you two were sparring one time.

Aside from being your trainer, Nat was also your best friend. She was like a sister to you. You were the first one to know about her lingering feelings for Bruce, and Nat was the first one to know as well about your admiration towards the Star-spangled man named Steve Rogers. You two were inseparable. Tony would sometimes call you B1 and B2 for you and Nat are like twins already.

Twins became triplets when Wanda came and the three of you became the trio.

When the three of you are in the field, Nat would sometimes scold you for being too risky and for being too vulnerable at times, but you understand where she's coming from. She was just afraid that something bad might happen to the family she only have.

Nat is cold-hearted when it comes to fighting, but outside the field, she's as witty as everyone else.

There were nights where you, Nat and Wanda would wake up in the middle of the night just to bake cookies. You chose to bake cookies at night so that the boys won't hear you and won't steal your finished products. There were also nights where the three of you would just sit together and just talk nonstop about different things.

When you didn't have anyone to believe in you, Natasha Romanoff was there.

That's why it broke your heart, your whole soul when you saw Clint alone when all of you returned to the present time to retrieve all the infinity stones. It broke your heart for losing the sister you only had.

Your mission to bring back all the infinity stones is a success, but how can you even call it a success when Nat didn't make it? How can you celebrate for this success when the team is not complete anymore? And how are you gonna be fine knowing that there would be no resurrection for Nat?

This is really is it.

There's no way you'll be able to see her again.

"Are you okay?"

A voice made all your thoughts disappear in thin air. Your eyes immediately went to the door of your room which was left open because you're too hurt to give a damn if your door is close or not.

You saw Steve leaning on the doorframe, his eyes are swollen like yours, his nose are red like tomatoes.

Well, he was close to Nat as well.

You sniffled and gave him a small smile, "Trying to be," you answered, "You?"

"Me too," he sighed as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, "I wish this is all just a nightmare. A nightmare that we can all just wake up from."

"Yeah," you nodded, "But it isn't. She's really gone and she's not coming back."

Steve did not answer, instead, he moved his eyes on the floor, trying to find the right words to comfort you.

The reason why he went to check on you because he knew how much you and Nat treated each other like sisters. He saw Bruce and Clint comforting each other, Tony was talking to Thor, and he thought that you need someone to talk to, someone to be a shoulder to cry one, someone to share the pain.

"I felt so alone now that she's gone--"

"Well, you're not."

Steve pushed himself away from the doorframe and started walking towards where you are sitting.

"That's the last thing I want you to feel," he sat beside you and gently grabbed your hand, "I want you to know that you're not alone, you'll never be alone. I have always been here and I will always be here, especially now."

Your cheeks started to feel hot and red, after realizing that this is the first time Steve has held your hand in a sweet and protective way. Something you've been wanting Steve to do for a long time.

Your admiration towards the Star-spangled man has always been part of your system and you have no idea how to get rid of it, or maybe you really don't want to lose it. You are silently hoping that one day, Steve Grant Rogers will come up to you and tell you how much he wants to be with you.

"Thank you, Steve," you smiled at him, trying to hide the burning desire to hug and kiss him right now.

His free-hand wiped the tears running down your cheeks before he speaks again, "I know this isn't the right time for this, but I hope you know that you're special to me," he admitted.

Your eyes slowly widened in surprise as your brows furrowed.

"Ever since you stepped in the compound, ever since the first time Nick introduced you to us, you never left my thoughts. I would see you in my dreams, I would daydream about you, and there were times I'd see other people as you, and it has confused me to bits. I would always look forward to see you, I would always find your jokes funny even if I don't get it because I'm an old lad, I would always find myself so protective of you whenever we're on the field or whenever guys are around to make a move on you. God, I want to smash their necks using my shield whenever they try to hold you," he groaned, "I didn't know why, but as I get to know you, I understand why," Steve squeezes your hand, "It's because I like you. A lot."

You sniffled, "Why...why now?" you asked.

"Because my heart hurts seeing you in pain so much," he lets go of your hand and cupped your cheeks this time, "I have never want anyone or anything as much as I want you."

If only Nat was here, she'll definitely clap on Steve for admitting what he truly feel for you. She's been sensing that Steve feels something for you, but you kept on dismissing it. But she was right.

You caught the heart of the Star-spangled man.

"Steve, you have no idea how happy that made me," you gave him a small smile as you held his hand cupping your cheeks, "I badly needed to hear that, especially now that I just lost a sister."

He chuckled confusingly, "What..what are you saying?" he asked.

"I like you too, Steve Grant Rogers."

Instead of answering, Steve's lips formed a smile before he planted a kiss on your forehead and soon after that, he pulled you towards him and hugged you warmly and tightly.

You've lost Nat, but you know that she'll always be around to look after all of you. She promised you that she'll be there all the time, and you know that she'll fulfill that promise of hers.

"Nat's gonna be so happy," you said while your head is resting on Steve's shoulders.

You heard Steve chuckle, "She definitely will."

Always & Forever

Characters:

Steve Harrington x Henderson!Reader

Summary:

Steve sees himself as nothing but a pretty face, but you managed to remind him that he's more than just that.

Warning:

Fluff

"I revised this fucking essay countless times already, yet it still doesn't make any sense to me," Steve crumpled his essay and threw it on the back of his car, "I guess what they say about me is true, I'm just a fucking pretty face."

You and Steve arrived early at school today, you have dropped off Dustin with his friends already and so you and Steve decided to kill some time in his car. He showed you the fourth essay draft he came up with for your class in English, it's a very important essay since the grade for this essay will surely manifest in your transcripts.

That explains Steve's paranoia.

"Hey," you cupped his face and made him look at you, "That's not true. There's two people in this car who both know that you are more than a pretty face. That's you and me," you assured him.

In the duration of your relationship with Steve, you have nothing to complain about. He's sweet, caring, and he always make sure that you always feel his love. The only thing that makes you worried about him is the times like when he is too frustrated to prove himself when you know that he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone.

You love Steve the way he is.

You first liked him when he helped your dear-o cousin, Dustin, and his friends when they were facing the Demogorgons. You liked him even more when he protected them against Billy, despite the fact that Billy knocked him off.

"Steve, you have to stop calling yourself that," you told him.

Steve shook his head and scoff as he move his face away from your touch, "You're my girlfriend that's why you're saying that, but if you weren't, you'll see me that way too, everyone does anyway," he put both of his hand on the steering wheel and sighed, "So sick and tired of this."

"Steve, baby," you forced him to look at you again by cupping both of his cheeks, "You're being too hard on yourself. Don't be pressured. Just take things slow. Think about what you want to say in this essay, what you really think of. Don't think about what other people will say about your essay or what grade will you get. If you keep on thinking of those things, you really won't get better. This piece," you reached for the paper he crumpled and held it, "This is already good. Just imagine how more good could it be if you focused on the positive things."

Steve can be hard to deal with at times, but you have no plans of leaving him or breaking up with him just because of his insecurities and stubbornness. The moment you decided to be with him, you chose to love every single little thing about him.

Besides, the first thing you fell in love with him is how he takes good care of your little annoying cousin, Dustin, and his friends.

Your parents are already separated, they both have new families. Since you don't want to join either of their families, your Aunt Claudia, Dustin's mom, asked you to just live with them. Your Aunt Claudia is your dad's youngest and only sister, amongst your other relatives, she's your favorite and you're her favorite niece, well, you're her only niece after all.

Upon your arrival in Hawkins, Dustin invited you to join their Christmas party at Steve's house. You were hesitant at first because you don't know Steve, and any of Dustin's friends aside from Lucas and Mike, but your cousin insisted on bringing you.

When you arrived at Harrington's, Dustin introduced Steve to you. Steve offered you a bottle of beer but you told him that you don't drink and that you prefer a juice, which he don't have any. So what he did was he went to the nearest store to buy you a juice, not just one but tons of it. That was the first time you find him cute.

You and Steve got closer after that night. You two shared classes together, whenever he'll bring Dustin to school, he'll ask you to join them too. He would also bring you and Dustin home, which made you like him even more. He asked you to be lab partner in Biology. He asked you to watch Day of the Dead with him, and his hands were your stress ball the whole time. He even asked you to watch his games and he'll glance at you after his shots.

But then, you found out from Dustin that Steve dated the first close friend you had in Hawkins, Nancy Wheeler.

Nancy is like your best friend and you are always welcome to sleep over at their place, and she's also fond of staying over at Henderson's. But you find it awkward to like and date your best friend's ex, so you stayed away from Steve and avoided him for a week.

Steve immediately noticed that you were avoiding him. When he had enough of your cold shoulders, he confronted you after your last class together.

"What the hell's going on, Henderson?" Steve pulled his bag on his shoulder as he confronted you in front of your locker.

You looked at him and play dumb, "What do you mean what the hell is going on? Are you alright, Harrington?" you and Steve got used of calling each other by your last names, but sometimes you find it annoying because he also calls Dustin by his last name, "I have no time for your pranks, Steve. I have to stop by at the Byers. Nancy, Jonathan and I needs to finish our project in History."

Instead of answering you, he slammed the door of your locker, making you jump in surprise.

"I've had enough of your silent treatments, Y/N."

The moment he called you by your first name, your heart skipped a beat.

"You're avoiding me and I'm certain about it. Dustin told me that he told you about my past with Nancy, and from then on, you started to avoid me. Thank God, your cousin finally told me what's going on with you for the past few days after I bribed him with five new released board games," Steve scoffed and shook his head as he walk closer to you, "Why?"

"Why, what?" you asked him, still avoiding his gaze.

"Why the hell are you doing this to me?" he shot you his first question, "Why are you avoiding me? You can't keep doing this to me, I can't sleep, I can't think properly, I can't concentrate on my classes knowing that you are sitting beside me and yet you are avoiding me the whole time," he reached for your hands and held it, "Can you tell me what's wrong?"

You realized that it's now or never, you have to tell Steve what you truly feel for him.

You took a deep breath before you look into his eyes, "Steve, I had to avoid, I have to stay away from you."

"Why?" he asked you without letting you finish.

"Because I can't like my best friend's ex boyfriend!" it was a good thing that there weren't so many people near you and Steve, no one noticed that you two were arguing and no one heard what you just told Steve, "Can't you understand that? I can't be in the same room with you, knowing that you are Nancy's ex and that all I had to do is to like and admire you from afar. I was hoping that one day you'll come up to me and tell me you like me, but I can't wait for that day anymore, knowing that you and Nancy had a past."

Steve wasn't able to answer nor react. He was stunned. He was just looking at you, trying to process what you just said.

Tears escaped your eyes, but you immediately wiped them away.

"Steve," you sniffled as you wipe your tears away, "I'm gonna be okay. The kids may feel different about us not being together all the time, but they're gonna get over it. Dustin's gonna be okay with it. You don't have to say anything or do anything, but there's only one thing I want to ask you," you slowly retreat your hands away from his touch, "Don't you ever stop being there for the kids. They love you. I won't be able to forgive myself if they'll lose you. Those kids love you. It's gonna hurt a lot knowing that I'll lose you, but I'm gonna be okay knowing that the kids still have you."

You quickly opened your locker and put some of your stuff inside. You closed it and before you turn your back, you looked at Steve again, who is still shocked with what you just told him.

"One more thing, Harrington," you sniffled again as you reach for his right cheek, "Take care, always."

That same night, the kids were sad upon hearing from Dustin that you won't be able to join the gang for quite some time because you needed to move on. It was also heartbreaking for you not being able to watch movie with them, play games with them, go on a shopping bonding with Max and El, you would miss staying up late just to babysit them with Steve.

But the next day, Steve did not waste his time.

He went to Nancy and talked to her about you, your feelings for him, and Steve's feelings for you. Nancy and Steve both agreed that there's nothing left for the two of them, especially now that Nancy is with Jonathan and that Steve is already over her and he's in love with you. Nancy told Steve that he's idiot that he did not go after you as soon as you turn your back on him.

Right after Nancy and Steve's talk, Nancy went to you to tell you that you should not be bothered with her past with Steve. Nancy told you that Steve became a different person in a good way because of you, and that she was also grateful to you that you were able to give Steve the love she couldn't give to him when they were still together. You and Nancy agreed that you two would still be the best of friends and that there will be no awkwardness around the three of you.

That night, Steve knocked on your window, which surprised and shocked you.

You let him in and the two of you talked in your bedroom.

"I'm so stupid for not telling you this as soon as possible," Steve clenched his jaw before he looked at you, "I'm not gonna be okay with the fact that I'll lose you and you'll lose me. I'm not gonna be okay with the fact that the kids will lose you too. Those kids love me, they love you, they love both of us, and I know that you know that we both love them all. Even though they are all bunch of jackass, we love them," you both chuckled when Steve called the kids a bunch of jackass, "But most of all, I can't deny the fact that I can't lose you."

The smile on your lips faded away when he got serious again, at the same time you avoided his gaze and looked down.

Steve gently reached for your hand, "I can't lose you because I love you."

Your eyes immediately went to his when you heard what he just said.

"I love you, the whole you. I love you with all my heart, Henderson. And call me psycho but I think my surname will look good after your first name," he said.

This person is really thinking about marrying you in the future. He wants you to be his Mrs. Harrington.

"But while we're too young to go down that road, I want us to be with each other, I want us to go on dates, roadtrips together, I want us to go after our dreams together, I want us be there for each other ever single day, I want you to be with me because I became a better person because of you, and I want to be better each day, means, I want you to be with me for the rest of my life," he shifted his body facing you, he grabbed your other hand, "I lo--"

"Can you just kiss me?"

Steve's flickered like a light bulb when he heard what you asked him, "Can I what?"

You groaned and rolled your eyes at him, "I said can you just kiss me, jerk?" you asked him.

You and Steve sealed the night with a passionate kiss, and from that night, the two of you were inseparable. Steve shows you how much he loves you in every single way he know. But there are still time when you two will argue because of little things, but that's part of a relationship. You deal with it and move forward.

You smiled at him, "Steve, you trust me, right?" you asked him.

Steve nodded, "Of course, baby, I do. I trust you with all my heart, with my life."

"Then trust and believe me whenever I tell you that you can do this, that you're more than just a pretty face. Okay? As your girl, I 100% believe that you are the most intelligent and most gorgeous boyfriend in the whole world," you planted a quick kiss on his lips, making Steve smile, "Now you're smiling, you punk!"

His smile grew wider as he looks into your eyes deeply, "I love you," he said.

"And I love you too," you playfully pinched his nose.

"What the hell would I do without you?" he sighed and grabbed both of your hands, "I have no idea what did I do to actually deserve you."

Steve both kissed the back of your hands.

"Steve," you called his name as softly as you could, "We will never ever get to convince everyone, there will always be something that they will hate about us, that they will find weird about us, but you got to know that there are many people out there believing in you, trusting you. Those people don't see you as just a pretty face. Dustin sees you as a big brother, a hair mentor. The kids look up to you. They know you'll protect them as far as you could. They know you love them. And please, don't you ever say that if I'm not your girlfriend I will also see you how other see you, because no, that will never happen," you said in full conviction.

Instead of answering you, Steve closed the space between the two of you and claim your lips for a kiss.

Steve Harrington is hard to deal with, but the fact that he's hard to deal with is what makes you more in love with him.

Your kiss interrupted when someone knocked on Steve's window.

"Hey, you two," you and Steve heard Jonathan's voice outside, "Get a room!"

You looked over Steve's shoulder and Steve looked behind him where Jonathan and Nancy are.

"We're gonna be late for homeroom. Come on you two!" Nancy shouted.

"I guess that's our cue, mister," you grabbed your bag and prepared yourself to go to school.

"I guess so, but just so you know," Steve gently held your chin, making you face him again, "I have no basketball practice today, means we can go home early and watch a movie."

You smiled at him, "Ask permission from my little cousin first," you joked, "Let's go, we're gonna be late."

Memoirs of the Lost Moon

Chapter 2: Moonlight Crossroads

Series Masterlist

Chapter Summary:

Bucky made his way to your hiding place. Questions will be answered. But are you ready to answer them all? And are you ready to see the man you've been secretly loving from afar for a long time?

||--------------------🌙🌙🌙--------------------||

As a doctor, it is your passion to save lives, but what really matters to you in your profession is helping and saving the lives of those people who don't have the means to attain healthy precautions. That's why when your father's empire fell, you knew exactly what will save you and where you'll have your new beginning.

Honestly, this was not the first thing that came into your mind when your father died.

You dreamed of settling down with the man who saved you countless times. You dreamed of living in a farmhouse with him, getting married, having kids, and growing old together. But that could only possibly happen, if only you weren't the person you are and if only it was that easy.

Years have passed and you did not realize that you have been alone in this world, that you have been an orphan for a long time now. You did not feel the time was passing so fast because of the people around you, the children you are interacting with, the community you are living in for years now. For them, you are their greatest miracle.

But for you, the small island called Villa Luna saved you and became your life's greatest miracle.

There is a secluded island called Villa Luna and you found out that the people living on the island are having a hard time reaching for medical assistance for they are too secluded and too far from the civilization. So you made your way there to help the people, especially the children who were being victimized by malaria at the time of your arrival.

You have helped them in the possible ways you can. You have brought them medications, vitamins, supplements, and equipment they can possibly need. The money you used for your medical mission is from the trust fund that your father left you. You thought that you could use the evil money of your dad for a good cause, not for atonement but for him to see on the other side of life how different you are from him.

Since you have the means to change your name for real, you did change your last name, but you retained your first name as it was given to you by your mother.

You were born as Y/N Pierce, but not anymore. You are Dr. Y/N Grey.

||--------------------🌙🌙🌙--------------------||

"When are you coming home?" you heard a familiar voice behind you, and you were right, you saw Teresita walking towards you.

You were standing right before the sea, thinking of how different your life could be if only your mother did not die early.

Teresita chuckled as she reach for your hand and squeezes it, "You always tell us that this island is now your home, that we are now your family, but we would always see you standing here as if you're waiting for somebody to come and bring you home," the 48-year-old woman chattered.

"I'm not," you denied waiting for somebody to come and bring you home, "I don't have the courage to leave you all anymore. I feel like I am meant to stay here."

"Y/N," she taps your hand and her other hand puts the strands of your hair behind your ear, "It has been more than five years. In the first place, your father's mistakes are not your mistakes. You corrected his mistakes, you should not be afraid of coming back to where you really belong. We love having you here, you will always have a family and home here, and even though you tell us that you want to be here with us, your eyes and your heart tell otherwise," she implored.

The whole time you are staying in Villa Luna, Teresita has been your mother figure. She was sort of like the leader of the island, and you have lived with her ever since you arrived here.

You wanted to deny what she just told you, but you know to yourself that she's telling the truth.

Even though you verbally say that you want to stay on the island for good, your heart will always belong somewhere else.

"You made us all happy here. You made us feel loved. You have given us the needs we were longing for. But my dear," she cupped your face and smiles at you, "It's time for you to do what will make you happy, to make yourself feel the love you deserve."

Just when you are about to answer Teresita, you both heard Mac and Tristan running in your direction.

"Tristan, Mac, why are you running? We just had lunch and you might throw up," you reprimanded them in a good way.

"We wanted to be here as fast as we could," Tristan reasoned while catching his breath and holding his knee.

Your brows furrowed, "Why?" you asked them.

"Because a big boat just came on the other side of the island," Mac said.

"Oh, the delivery of the supplements I ordered is scheduled for next week. They must've delivered it early," you guessed.

Mac shook his head, "We also thought it was the supplies you ordered, but it's a different boat," he said.

A different boat? you were confused.

"A guy just got off the boat and he looked exactly like the guy on your drawings."

Your eyes widened in surprise and your mouth slowly opened in surprise as you start to realize the guy Mac and Tristan saw getting off the boat.

It's impossible, you thought, but is it really impossible?

||--------------------🌙🌙🌙--------------------||

Yeah, it was not impossible.

Your eyes never left the familiar pair of blue eyes the moment you saw them. Your heart started to beat faster as if a horse was after it. Goosebumps took over you as you saw him standing not so far away from you now.

A small smile slowly formed on your lips as you stare at him and realize that he is a completely changed man. He was far from being the killing machine your father made him. He was not the winter soldier anymore. He was different, but your love for him made you feel familiar with him in different ways.

You had no idea that your tears started to run down your cheeks as you try to process the idea that you two met again.

A lot of questions are going on in your mind.

Can he remember you?

Is he mad at you for leaving him?

Is he mad at you for hiding from him?

What made him go here?

Is he here to save you and bring you home?

But the question that you really wanted to be answered is...

Does he still love you?

You were too fixated in his eyes and the questions bugged in your mind that you did not realize that he was already walking towards you.

Bucky stopped in front of you with a blank face, making you feel unsure whether he is mad at you or he is delighted to finally see you again. So you decided to break the silence and say any words that come out of your mouth.

"A long time has passed," your voice break but you managed to continue, "Everything has changed, but--"

Before you could even finish what you are about to tell him when he suddenly grabbed you and pulled you into his arms.

The familiar warmth of his clothed body made you remember how he made you feel loved in his own way years ago. Though he was the winter soldier, he was a good man and a loving person whenever you two are together. He was your nightmare breaker, for he only brings you comfort and good dreams. He made you feel the love your father can't give you.

Honestly, Bucky loved you more than your father did love you.

"You were long gone," you heard his voice while you were wrapped between his arms.

"I had to."

He pulled away from your hug and cupped your cheeks, making your eyes meet his, "And I won't let it happen again."

||--------------------🌙🌙🌙--------------------||

Bucky had so many questions for you and you were sort of ready to answer them all, but you can't answer them all with so many pairs of eyes watching you two. So you and Bucky made your way to your favorite spot on the island, the highest cliff of the island.

The highest cliff has a cold breeze and the sight of an endless ocean. And you thought it was the perfect place to finally answer the questions Bucky wanted to ask you.

"Before you ask me anything," you sighed, "I just want to know if you can remember everything?"

"Everything?" he repeated.

You nodded, "Every single detail about us."

He looked down before he shakes his head.

The answer he gave you made your heart flinch and made you feel angrier towards your father. He was the only person to blame in this situation.

"My memories are still shattered, but Dr. Banner and Dr. Strange are trying their best to do something about it," Bucky said.

"Then how come you found out about me?" you asked him, "I asked them not to tell you anything about me. So I thought now that you're here, you remembered me on your own."

Bucky told you that he only found out about you and your untold past with him when Natasha dropped a photo of you accidentally. He told you that he started to hear voices and see vivid memories in his mind about you and the past you two shared together.

He then asked Steve about you and of course, just like what you expected, Steve told him about you, about how you asked Nick Fury to save him from your father's hands.

"Why did you leave and hide from me?" he suddenly asked you right after narrating how he found out about you.

You looked into his eyes and see that he is really puzzled and had no idea what really happened in the past between the two of you. And somehow, it made you feel hurt for you two shared beautiful memories together, you were each other's good memories.

"And please, don't answer me you had to because I really want to know why," he cut you off just when you are about to answer him.

You exhaled sharply before you gave him the explanation you've been depriving him for a long time, "I was embarrassed. I was scared."

"I don't understand," he shook his head.

"You loved me when you were the Winter Soldier. You accepted me for who I was. But I wasn't sure if you were gonna accept me once you were back to being Sergeant James Barnes. I wasn't sure if you were still gonna love me and choose to be with me," you felt your tears on your cheeks and immediately wiped them away, "Steve told me that they could finally save you, that they could finally put an end to the killing machine that my father made you. I was excited. I was happy. Because back then, HYDRA fell down, my dad is gone, I was happy because I know I'm gonna have a shot with you. But then, I started to realize that even though my father is gone, the truth that I am Alexander Pierce's daughter, I am the daughter of the person who made you kill people, the person who broke and ruined you, it will always be the truth. And I asked myself that when you are finally saved, will you still choose to be with the daughter of the person who made the Winter Soldier?"

You looked down and avoided his gaze.

You sniffled and sighed before you continue explaining to him, "It was not an easy decision to make, Bucky. I had no one, I am an orphan and I am all alone in this world. The new beginning I had in my mind was a life with you, but," you chuckled as tears continue to make your eyes blur, "But how can we have the happy and normal life, if you are with me a person that will always and eternally remind you of the darkest days of your life. I wanted you to move on, to have the life you really deserve, to be far away from the darkest days of your life. You could only have that if I'm far away from you and if you don't know me at all."

"Did you really love me?"

"Of course I did, Bucky," you answered immediately, "Not because I chose to leave you, it doesn't mean I did not really love you or I loved you less. I loved you more than my life that's why I did it."

"How could you love a murderer?"

His question stunned you.

"How could you fall in love with a monster? With the Winter Soldier?" he asked.

You wanted to answer him right away but you cannot find the right words to tell him the reasons why you fell in love with him.

"I lost the count of the people I killed, I assassinated, I murdered. If it weren't for Nick Fury, Steve, and the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D., I would be imprisoned for the rest of my fucking old life. And if Tony did not forgive me for killing his parents, I don't think I'd have another shot in this life. I was a monster, how could you love me?" Bucky asked you again.

"I don't know the exact reason why I loved you, but do we really need a reason for loving someone?" you asked him back.

This time, it was him who got stunned because of the answer you gave him.

"I woke up one day and I was hoping that time will pass so fast so it would be finally night time and I would finally have a glimpse of you. I woke up one day and I found myself hoping that we met in a different situation, in a different place, and at a different time. I woke up one day and I found myself crying in confusion for my father is planning to eliminate you because he's done with you and he doesn't need you anymore, but I chose you over him because I still need you and because I love you," you answered and you wiped your tears away again because they were running down your cheeks nonstop. " I don't know what reason to tell you, Bucky, but I hope it is enough that you know that I truthfully and wholeheartedly loved you," you added.

Bucky was in the middle of an argument with Sam, when he received a text from you.

"Damn, my wife just texted and she said we're having a boy!"

Memoirs of the Lost Moon

Chapter 1: The Lost Moon's Photo

Series Masterlist

Chapter summary:

Bucky Barnes found a photo of you by accident, and it made him remembered something from his HYDRA days, not a bad one, but a good one.

{{==========🌙==========}}

"What's with all the mess?" Bucky threw his jacket over the big table in the conference room when he entered.

Steve, Natasha, Tony, Sam, and Rhodes are inside the conference room and there are tons of boxes on top of the table. They were looking for some old files about the documentation of the old HYDRA bases that could lead to something about the new mission they're all dealing with.

"Hey, Buck," Steve fist bump with his best friend when the latter approached them.

"You guys still think our new mission has something to do with HYDRA?" Bucky asked. He grabbed one of the folders and scanned them, "Are we sure about this?"

Sam sighed, "Well, one of the men we encountered last week was from HYDRA. We have to double-check if we really ended those scumbags," he pointed out.

Everyone's busy looking for something, even Bucky helped the rest of them, but Tony on the other hand gave up the idea and sat down on one of the swivel chairs and started eating his blueberries.

Nat dropped something from the folder she was holding, but Bucky said he got it. He picked it up, and realized it was a photo. He flipped it over and saw a familiar face in it.

'I'll come back and save you, I mean it.'

A voice came over Bucky as flashbacks started to flash on his mind. It was his memories when he was still the Winter Soldier, but it's not about the people he murdered, it was about the woman who saved him, the woman who served as the light to his life when he was in the darkest moments of his life.

'You are mine, forever.'

'I am yours, only yours.'

This time, Bucky heard his own voice, then he heard a woman's voice again, a familiar one.

Bucky's vision kept on flashing, changing. He sees thousands of memories, most of them are a blur to him, and doesn't remember any of them, but some memories are still fresh in his mind, especially his torture, the way Hydra wiped his sanity away. But there's one thing he's not sure if he's familiar with it or not, an image of a woman.

He was trying to stop every picture to fade and flash off, as he try to remember who the woman is and what is her significance in his life, in his past.

Then he heard the voice again...

No, dad! Don't take him away, please! Don't hurt him!

Suddenly, a vision of the woman flashed in his mind, but only this time, the woman is resting on his old silver metal arm and all he could see was her eyes full of hope and love.

I love you, that was the last thing Bucky heard before he woke up from that daydream.

"Buck, are you okay?" Steve pull out the nearest swivel chair and lets his pal sat down.

Bucky sat down but his eyes are still fixated on the photo he was holding.

It has been five years since he was saved, since he got his life back, the life that Hydra took away from him. But in the span of that five years, this is the first time he dreamed of something that has something to do with his past, with his torture and misery, but most of all, this is the first time he saw a photo that reminded him of what happened in him back then.

"Who is she?" Bucky uttered, handing the photo to Steve.

Finally, Steve understand Bucky's reaction when he saw the photo.

It was the photo of the woman who really saved his pal's life, the woman who is the real reason why Bucky is here with the Avengers now, the woman who served as the light to his dark world back then. It was the photo of you, Y/N Pierce.

Steve's eyes wander on the people inside the room, everyone knew who the woman in the photo is.

"Steve," Bucky's jaws clenched when he notices the way Steve look at the others, "I'm asking you, who is she?" he repeated.

Bucky hated it when his pal is avoiding his eyes whenever he's asking something from him. He was like this when he first asked him about the things he did when he was still the Winter Soldier. Steve didn't want Bucky to feel guilty about the crimes he never wanted to do, but he ended up telling him anyway. Steve knew that it will only cause a fight between him and his pal if he hides the truth about it.

Rhodes, Sam, Tony, and Nat didn't knew what to do. They wanted to save Steve's ass from his best friend, but a part of them knew that this might be the perfect time for the White Wolf to know the truth. After all, he deserves to know the truth.

"Bucky, calm down," Sam reached for Bucky's shoulder to calm him down. He noticed that Bucky's voice is getting high.

Bucky glanced at Sam and shook his head, "Not my concern right now," then he shifted his eyes back to Steve, "Who is she?" he asked his best friend again, this time with a warning tone.

Steve's eyes landed on Nat who gave him a nod, signaling that it's now the time Bucky finds out what really happened back then.

Steve took a deep breath before he finally faces Bucky and answers his question.

"She's Y/N Pierce. She's the only daughter of Alexander Pierce, the head of Hyd--"

"I know who that son-of-a-bitch is," Bucky cut off his pal, "I want to know what my relationship is to this woman? To Alexander Pierce's daughter?"

"She's the love of your life, Buck," Steve handed a folder to Bucky, which the latter accepted and opened instantly, "You met her during a Gala, Alexander wanted you to kill eliminate a senator who attended the Gala, but you weren't able to comply to his commands. It's because you saw Y/N, you saw her getting hurt by her ex-boyfriend. You interfered and kick her ex's ass. She lost her consciousness and you saw her address and brought her home. You left her in her room without anything, but every single time you'll see a chance to come back and check on her, you would. There were nights when you'll leave the HYDRA base and you'll go sneak on her window just to watch her sleep. But one night, she woke up and saw you. You were about to run away, but she stopped you. She told you she kept on dreaming about you, the guy who saved her from her ex. You wanted to go, but she asked you to stay because she was experiencing nightmares for the past few nights, but for reason, when she asked you to stay, her nightmares stopped. So you ended up going to her house every night to make all her nightmares disappear until you two gave yourselves to each other, and fall in love."

The folder that Steve handed Bucky is the narrative they documented when they interrogated you about the Winter Soldier.

Bucky stood up from where he was sitting, "How could that be possible? I was the Winter Soldier during that time. Why did I not--"

"What? Hurt her?" Natasha guessed, making everyone in the room staring at her, "Barnes, we could've asked you the same question. We have no idea why you did not hurt her, and why you saved her in the first place. But maybe it was meant to happen anyway."

"And why is that?" Bucky asked.

"Because she's the light to your darkness," Steve answered Bucky. He walked towards Bucky and continued talking, "Buck, when she found out about the whole Winter Soldier thing, she kept her mouth shut because she didn't want to lose you. But when she found out about her dad's plan about you, she dropped everything and went straight to Fury, to us. She wanted us to save you, and so we did."

Finally, Tony joined the conversation, "She chose you over her dad because according to her, you made her feel loved more than her dad, more than anyone," for the first time, Tony didn't become a jerk in conversing with Bucky.

Bucky didn't know what to say nor what to think.

All of the things he heard from Steve, from everyone is too much to take in. This is the first time he got speechless and got nothing to say about anything.

"When we rescued you from HYDRA, we gave her a signal that we did it, but we did not received anything back from her. When we came to her house, she left a letter, thanking us for saving you, explaining that she chose to leave and hide, not because she don't love you, but because she was embarassed because her last name is the Alexander Pierce's. She said in the letter that just in case you don't remember anything about her, we shouldn't mention anything about her too, but now that you found out about her, I guess it's only fair and right for you to know who she really is in your life," Steve explained.

The Winter Soldier never knew about you being Alexander Pierce's daughter, but the reason why you didn't want him to know at the first place is because you don't want him to see you as the daughter of the man who took his sanity and freedom away. Instead, you wanted him to see you as the light to his darkness, his moon.

But now that the Winter Soldier is gone, and now that Bucky has gained his redemption and have his life back, he don't give a damn if you were a Pierce. Right now, what he wants is to find you, to find his moon.

||--------------------🌙🌙🌙--------------------||

After the whole revelation in the conference room earlier, Bucky walked out and didn't leave his room. He wanted to think about everything he found out. He wanted to be alone. He wanted to take all the information in. And now that the sunsets, and the moon is finally on their peak, Bucky went out and brought a bottle of beer with him, and stayed on the Gazebo not so far away from the compound.

He thought that today is just an ordinary day for him, but it turned out differently.

It was the day he found out the truth, the day he found out that despite being accounted for dozens of assassinations, the Winter Soldier did something good.

After finding out about you, Bucky understood the longingness he would always feel in his heart like there's always something missing even though he has everything he could ask for. Now he understood, it's you he's been longing for.

"Are you still mad at us?"

Bucky heard Natasha behind him, but he did not turn around to face her.

"I'm not mad at you guys, I just don't understand why you all had to hide the truth," he answered while his arms are resting on the railing and his eyes are pinned on the sight of the beautiful moon, "All this time, I've been trying to figure out what's the reason of the longing I feel inside me, and now, it's her all along."

"Barnes, we wanted you to know the truth, but she asked us not to, and so we respected that. We didn't know how would you react to it, but if it would make you less upset," Natasha sighed and paused for a moment, making Bucky turned around and face her, "I know where she is."

"You do?"

Nat nodded, "Steve and I thought that we should know where she is, you know, just in case this whole revelation thing happens, we could give you something," she explained.

Bucky saw the folder in Nat's hand, the latter handed it to him and so he accepted it right away.

He opened the folder and saw the file about your whereabouts.

"She really is hiding, isn't she?" Bucky uttered.

"No, I'm pretty sure she's just waiting to be remembered," Nat replied.

Caught in the act

Characters:

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary:

You saw Sharon being touchy to the man you are secretly dating, so you make decided to make a move and show her that no one else is allowed to touch what is yours.

Warning:

Mention of SMUT (18+)

Fluff

A/N:

This is my first time writing a fanfic that has a smut, so, please bear with it.

The moment you slammed the door of your hotel room, you pushed Bucky against it and started kissing him as if you did not eat in Tony and Pepper's engagement party downstairs.

It was Tony and Pep's engagement party and the rest of the team is obviously invited, and since Tony used to be the light of the party, he made sure that he invited everyone from work to enjoy the last time that he'll organize a party, knowing that after they announce their engagement tonight, it would be Pepper's turn to organize the next parties that she and Tony will host, meaning it'll be less Tony-ish.

The dinner was awesome and everyone enjoyed the food and the speeches given by both Tony and Pepper. Nat, Steve, and Rhodes gave a speech as well, telling everyone how excited they are for the upcoming wedding of the love birds.

As much as you want to focus on the wonderful speeches they were giving, you can't help but watch how Sharon throws herself towards Bucky throughout the party. She kept on hitting Bucky's arms and chest playfully while laughing at something. You were sitting across them and as much as you want to sit next to each other, you and Bucky agreed not to, knowing that you two won't be able to get your hands off each other, especially now that no one is yet aware that you two are dating in secrecy.

But even though you and Bucky are secretly dating, it doesn't mean that you're okay with someone touching him.

So you came up with a plan of telling that blonde Sharon Carter that no one touches what is yours.

You slipped a paper on Bucky's hand before you left the hall, the paper says that you'll be waiting for him near the elevator.

The two of you casually entered and exited the elevator, but the moment you were tapping your key card in front of the sensor, Bucky's hands started to caress your back up to your ass. You know he's been wanting to escape that party with you ever since you showed up with that backless black dress.

When you, Nat, Wanda were shopping for the dress to wear for this night and saw the dress you're wearing, you knew it was the perfect way to seduce your man. You wanted to see him glance at you, begging you to have your own little party with him in his or your suited. And you succeeded in that plan, cause if you didn't, Bucky won't be pinning you against the wall of your suite.

Your tongue is playing sword with his when you felt his hand giving your butt a hard squeeze, which made you more turned on and horny as fuck.

He pressed his clothed body against yours, you can feel his cock wanting to be sprung free from his pants.

Bucky were in the middle of kissing your neck when you both heard beeping sound coming from the door that is not too far away from the wall your are pinned against in.

"What is tha--"

"Nothing, just keep going," you said, and pulled his head back on your neck.

The door swung open and just like you planned, Sharon Carter's eyes widened when she saw you and Bucky sharing a very intimate and steamy moment together.

"Oh, my God!" Sharon exclaimed as she cover her eyes with her hands.

Bucky immediately stopped kissing you when he heard Sharon's voice.

"I'm so sorry!" Sharon said, finally removing her hands from her eyes, "I just thought Bucky left this key card for me. I thought--"

"What? You thought he wants to fuck you?" you sarcastically asked.

"What? No!" Sharon defended.

You scoffed and shook your head, "Come on, Sharon Carter," you crossed your arms in front of your chest, "I've been watching you the whole night, how you hit on my boyfriend, how you slap his arms and his chest playfully when you're laughing or making a joke. And I was hell right, you are horny as fuck and you want my boyfriend to sleep with you!"

"Of course not, wait," she realized what you just called Bucky, "Your boyfriend?"

Sharon's eyes swtiched to Bucky, who have no idea about your plan of finally putting an end to your secret relationship and turn it into a public one.

Bucky nodded, "We're together. We just didn't want anyone to know yet," he explained.

"And you just let me flirt with you?" Sharon asked in disbelief.

"For the record, Sharon, I did not flirted back. I was just being nice to you because we're friends, we've always been good friends," Bucky defended.

Sharon moved her eyes back to you and raised her eyebrows, "And this is your way of telling me to back off?" she asked and scoffed, "You've come this far? You could've just approached me and tell it straight to my face that Bucky is your boyfriend."

"Oh, honey," you scoffed as you walk towards her, "I wasn't trying to tell you that. What I was trying to tell you is that no one else touches what is mine, and that you should keep your hands to yourself until you're sure that the man you're flirting with is not taken," you glared at her, from head to toe. "So if what you saw what Bucky and I were busy doing when you entered that door doesn't tell you that he's taken, then just tell me and I'll help you understand it further," you added.

Bucky grabbed your hand, trying to calm you down but you did not mind him.

"Should I say more, Agent Carter?" you asked Sharon.

Sharon shook her head, "No, you made your point clear as day," she said before she turned her back and walked out the door.

"What the hell was that?!" Bucky yelled as soon as the door closed.

You faced him, "What?" you asked innocently.

"Do you even realize now that Sharon knows about us, everyone will?! She will surely tell Nat, Wanda, and the rest of the team that we're a thing now, that we've been fucking around for God knows how long," Bucky lamented.

"And you didn't want that?" you asked. "Bucky, I thought you've been wanting to tell Steve and the rest of our friends about us? That's why I thought doing this is okay with you. Or did you change your mind because you realized that you don't want to be with me anymore? Huh? Is that it?" you shot another question again, "Well, if that's what you think and you want to go after that blonde Sharon Carter, then be my guest!"

You picked up the purse you dropped when you slammed Bucky against the door earlier.

When you walked past him, he grabbed your wrist, "You know that's not true. You know that I want to be with you," he sincerely said.

You smirked, "Well, it doesn't feel like it."

"Y/N, I'm just worried about you. When I asked you a few weeks ago if you're ready to tell everyone about us, you told me you weren't, so I respected that. I just thought you were only forced to do this just because you saw Sharon being touchy and handsy to me, and maybe you thought that you're gonna bore or lose me, but baby you won't," he let go of your wrist and cupped your face, "A part of me is flattered and happy when you told Sharon that no one else is allowed to touch what is yours, and hearing you claim me as yours makes me so fucking happy. I just want you to be 100% ready when everyone finds out about us."

"And I am, Buck," you retorted, "I am ready to let everyone know that you are mine, that I am yours."

"Say those words again and I will surely won't stop fucking you even if you beg me to stop."

You gulped as you narrow your eyes at him, "What words were you referring to, Sergeant?" you asked dumbfoundedly, playfully grabbing his suit to pull him closer to you.

"Those possessive words you just said to Sharon," Bucky murmured.

You smirked, "You're mine and I'm your--"

Before you could even finish what you're about to say, Bucky carried you and throw you onto the bed.

He grabbed you by your foot and pulled you to the edge of the bed. He grabbed the hem of your dress and rolled it up, just enough to remove your panties. He threw your panties away, those were one of your favorites, and you'll just deal in finding it later, but for now, you want Bucky to pleasure you until you don't have the voice to scream anymore.

Soon after he spread your legs, he used his fingers to see how wet you are down there.

"Fuck, baby, you're soaking," and his words are making you wetter than you are now.

You shushed him, "Shut up and just eat my pussy already, you jerk," you pulled his head by his nape and the next thing you felt was his tongue devouring your pussy.

He was licking every part of your pussy, not leaving anything dry. Your mouth was left open when he sucked and pinched your clit using his teeth, a moan escaped your mouth when he fucked you with his tongue.

His chuckle made you feel a vibration, sending you more reason to get crazy.

He soon replaces his tongue with his finger. He finger fucked you first with his middle finger, curling it up inside you while giving your clit a nonstop lick. He added another finger soon which made you hornier and turned on even more.

His hand slowly traveled to your breast, giving it a massage.

"Fuck, Bucky," you moaned when he pinched your beads, "Fuck!" you exclaimed.

"Scream all you want, let them know who you fucking belong to," Bucky said while he continued finger fucking you with his two fingers, you could feel his knuckles and you could feel that you're about to reach your peak, "You wanna cum, don't you?"

You looked at him and saw how fiery his eyes were as he watch you reach your climax, "I'm cumming," you gasped for air.

"Go ahead and make a mess on my fingers, baby," that's all you had to hear before you throw your head back against the soft bed and let go in ecstasy.
