Avengers Imagines

Bucky ~ road trip

A soft knock at your door interrupted your packing. You threw a pair of socks in the suitcase and went to open your bedroom door. On the other side was a tall, big man with a warm smile and golden hair falling on his forehead.

"Tony sent me to pick up your case of suits" He said as you let him in, and you went back to your suitcase

"Hold on Im almost done," you said, then ran to your closet, grabbed a few more shirts, sweaters, shorts, your swimsuit and shoved it in your suitcase. You shut it and zipped it tight, then attempted to lift it up and failed, but luckily Thor caught you and took the suitcase

"Thanks," you said with a smile, and you grabbed your other, smaller, back pack and slung it over your shoulder before following Thor out of your room.

"You sure you don't wanna come with us Thor? We're driving all the way down to Florida - You'd love the beaches there" you asked thor once more, at a last hope. He was one of your closest friends on the team, and even though going with Tony, Steve and Nat would still be fun, if he came it probably would have been like a new level of fun

"Come on, (y/n)," Tony walked up till he was next to you and then wrapped an arm around your shoulders. You rolled your eyes, "I told you we don't need Thor to come with us to have fun. I promise you I'll show you the time of your life," he said with a wink, slowly looking you up and down causing you to shove him away. You were used to Tony hitting on you every 5 minutes - he flirts with about anything that breathes

"I'm sorry (y/n). I have to return to Asgard to finish some business," Thor said with an apologetic smile. You were sad that he couldn't go but the excitement of the road trip covered any trace of it. Sure he was like your best friend but, you were going to on a road trip with your closest friends. and your crush.

Just the thought of it made you smile wider

Thor put you're suitcase in the back of the car, along with the others, and asked, "Any more case of suits I shall pick up?"

"Yeah- one more" he said. You looked at him confused.

"I thought it was just us going?" You asked, going through a list in your mind on who else would want to go. And then a horrible, horrible thought of who it might be came to mind

don't say it's him. don't say it or I swear I will go unpack right now

But disappointment and anger filled you as Tony's lips curled to form the name "Bucky"

You could not believe him. Bucky knew you were going and he knew how much you despised him for what happened. Yet he wanted to ride in a cramped car with you for a whole two days.

Tony must have seen you were angry, because he quickly added "He's not gonna kill you, you know" jokingly, having no clue on the real reason you were angry

You ignored him and got in the car with Steve and Nat as Tony got in the other car. Steve was in the drivers seat and Nat was in the passengers seat, which meant Bucky would be sitting right next to you. Great.

Bucky put his suitcase in the back and got in the car, and you bit your tongue so you wouldn't say anything that would make Steve or Nat suspect anything. Bucky must have seen the anger in your eyes because he didn't say anything as he got in.

It was Uncomfortable silence for the both of you, as Steve and Nat talked without suspecting anything. You put your headphones in and listened to music while watching the road out the window.

A couple hours later Tony stopped at a gas station to stretch our legs. You got out of the car as soon as it stopped and walked to the bathrooms, happy to be away from Bucky.

You opened the door for the bathroom once you were done and found a sorry looking Bucky outside. Without a word you turned walked the other way, but he followed you

"Wait," he said, and furiously you turned to look at him

"What. What is it?" You asked, and he stepped back. You clearly did not want to talk to him so why was he trying

"I know you don't want me to be here-" he said, and you rolled your eyes

"Good, we're on the same page" you answered

"Just listen ok," he pleaded, "If you keep acting like this it's going to ruin the trip-"

"Acting like this? Bucky I am not acting." You said, anger rising in your voice, "What we did that night was not supposed to happen"

Yes. You slept with Bucky. And you regretted it more than anything. It was not supposed to happen. For weeks you'd been working up the courage to ask Steve out. But when you finally decided to do it at one of Tony's parties, you found out he hooked up with some girl. You were so devastated you ran to your room on the verge of tears, but on the way there you ran into Bucky. You fell apart in his arms, and he carried you to his room. You cried and ranted and confessed. You just wanted to be with someone. Maybe it was the drinks or the sadness or whatever. But soon you were making out, and then his shirt was off and soon you were waking up on top of him, under the covers

"Believe me, I wish that night had never happened either," Bucky said, slightly biting his lip. His tell. To him, the night was a dream come true. And he hated that you hated him.

"Look I'll ride with Tony for the rest of the way, and I'll check out my own room when we get to the hotel. I'll stay away from you the whole time ok?"

he saw your features soften. You were satisfied but not completely happy. But it was the probably the best you'd get for now. At least you'd be able to talk to Steve and not worry about Bucky

"thanks" you said reluctantly and walked back to the car. Tony was talking to some chick by his car (and of course he decided to bring one of his most expensive cars) and Bucky looked over at you as he got in the back. You looked away and got in the passengers seat. Nat got in the back insisting she needed a nap

"Where's buck?" Steve asked, getting in the drivers seat again

"He's going with Tony" you said, trying to hold back the bitterness in your voice

The rest of the way was way better than the first part. You and Steve talked and listened to music the whole way. You even thought him how to play "I spy" and other games. It was great.

When the sun started to go down, Tony called to say that they were stopping at a motel for the night, so Steve took the next exit and pulled into the "Scarlet Blue Motel"
