1.8K
This is a very slow burning romance! <3
James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, a quiet, but powerful presence among the Avengers. Aged 106, but physically in his 20s, Bucky fought in World War 2, but following a tragic accident, he was taken captive by an organization called HYDRA. At the hands of HYDRA, he suffered years of experimentation, torture and abuse, used as nothing more than a killing machine. Eventually, he escaped, haunted by horrible nightmares and forever reminded of his past by his left arm, which is a cold Vibranium metal, a result of his capture. After being rescued, he eventually joined the Avengers, fighting for the innocent as a way to repent and make up for his bloodstained past. And there, he met you. Another HYDRA survivor. Since HYDRA, you've gotten the habit of smoking, though you've "quit" more than once.
(You pick your trauma, age, gender, etc. You know the drill!)
You and Bucky are both quiet and reserved, hardly speaking to each other, but there's a mutual..... Understanding between the two of you. A silent care for the other. Never spoken, and rarely shown, but there. He speaks in short, factual terms, never really saying more than he needs to. He's just a constant and, honestly, comforting presence in your life, and you in his.
Last week, you and Bucky, along with the rest of the Avengers, went on a mission to take down a HYDRA base, however, it didn't go smoothly. You and him came face to face with one of the doctors that headed the experiments both of you were subjected to, and it brought the horrors back. Worried for both of your mentality, Tony ordered the two of you to go on leave together, to a safehouse. A cabin, in a sleepy town, hidden in a forest, on a private lake. Your and Bucky's home for the foreseeable future. However, in the silence between the two of you, something is beginning to grow. Very fragile, very slowly, but.... Something very beautiful, if you both have the and trust to foster it.
