Tore my shirt to stop you bleeding,
But nothing ever stops you leaving…
“Ready to comply.”
To hear that phrase coming from Steve’s lips plunged Bucky into ice cold waters, his psyche sunk beneath waves of sorrow. He was having a difficult time processing what should have never been. It was only supposed to have been one child of Brooklyn to have suffered a fate worse than death. For both of them to have suffered at the hands of such horrible people was too much for Bucky to bear. He didn’t know what to do, Steve was staring straight through him as they kneeled together on the dirty ground. The blond’s gaze was empty and there was no spark of recognition in that cold stare of his.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFgBNLdpn9
“Steve?” He whispered, hoping for a miracle.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIRYwlKx5D
“Who the hell is Steve?” The flat monotone of Steve’s voice and those words rattled around in Bucky’s skull, it all sent him reeling. This must be what Steve felt when their roles were reversed when they first found each other again after years of separation. Bucky’s heart broke into even more pieces.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbWx1evOgD
“Welcome back, Captain. Rise and face your opponent.” The blood in Bucky’s veins ran cold at Zemo’s command. He expected them to fight? To the death? Bucky wouldn’t be surprised if that was the baron’s aim. He was once again reminded of his hatred for the man. Scrambling to stand himself, he couldn’t help the dread that seemed to coil in his stomach, the stones that seemed to fill the space in his chest. This was not how their lives were supposed to go. “On second thought—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU1TKJOhkt
A loud crack rang out in the cavern, a gasp slipped from Natasha’s lips and into Bucky’s ears, his own jaw dropped in shock. He could only watch as Steve keeled over, the blond’s body landing awkwardly on the ground. A gust of unnatural wind blew through the cavern, it carried the loudest screech that Bucky had ever heard toward his ears. The sound of it, so shrill, reached a pitch that make it seem as if it should have come from someone far younger than he. It had taken the rough swallow of saliva down a raw and tender throat for Bucky to realize such a noise actually came from him. He vaguely heard Natasha call out his name as he sunk to his knees, tears falling down his cheeks like torrents. Anguish and grief consumed him, his magic bursting out of the confines of his skin. It was painful, the full brunt of the fires he was born with searing his heart just as much as his flesh. There before him was Steve, a gunshot wound gaping in the center of his forehead. He could vaguely hear the bullet ricocheting off the bones that made up some of the cavern walls. Cerulean flames blazed around him scorching the ground where he knelt, leaving Zemo and his squad riddled with blisters as they burned. Their screams of pain were like swan songs on the winds, music to his ears, that carried his vengeance far and wide, leaving no soul belonging to Hydra unpunished. Aquamarine crystals formed from the salted droplets on his cheeks before they fell to the ground, leaving the sheerest powder amongst the dirt. Their chimes added to the music that did little to ease his despair as he crawled over to Steve’s corpse. Raising a hand to Steve’s head, the tears steadily leaving streaks on his cheeks, Bucky touched him. Steve’s skin was so cold already. Blue energy sparks jumped from his hands as they came to cradle Steve’s head in his lap. He cursed his powers because he knew that bringing the love of his life back was impossible. Rocking back and forth, he sobbed as he wondered if this was truly the end of the line for them. A harsh cough coming from below pulled his attention to the man in his arms, who was somehow, beyond all belief, opening his eyes!31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqddtLJHbF
“Steve?” Bucky rejoiced. He watched as slow blinks and an unfocused gaze gave way to recognition, as the wound slowly began to close. “Steve!”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9J2piocVC
Bucky couldn’t help himself, he buried his face into the newfound warmth of Steve’s neck and let everything go. All the emotions he held inside, he let them burst free much like his magic. The feeling of warm arms encasing him caused his body to go lax, Steve was here. Whatever miracle this was, Bucky refused to let this second chance go to waste. He had to express how he felt.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXBWl9ZcAy
“Steve, I have something—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqprglYTpZ
He was abruptly cut off by warm chapped lips smashing against his own. He was so stunned, he didn’t even react when Steve picked him up only to plop him down across those massive thighs.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV3VnAyWe8
“Steve! Wait,” he tried to get the words out between kisses but Steve just wasn’t having it. “Stevie, you were dead! I saw it happen, the bullet went straight through your skull. Steve, are you listening to me??”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZocAh3rQ
Needless to say, Steve wasn’t. The man was too busy trying to kiss under Bucky’s jaw, his neck, the spot behind his right ear that made him squeal. And he liked it. He more than liked it, he had been craving this sort of treatment for so long that he just let Steve trace his lips over whatever part of him the man could reach. When those lips touched his own again, Bucky sunk into it. It wasn’t until Steve’s hands started groping around the fastenings of his tac pants that he tried to pull away. “Hold on, pal, we should probably talk first.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlOvB8M1T3
Steve still wasn’t listening, the blond was just able to reach between his cheeks to caress his hole before Bucky squeaked in shock. “Steve, you can’t, not there!” He couldn’t believe how forward Steve was being and frankly, how quick the guy could move his hands. Wrenching both hands out of his pants, and grounding his hips to keep steady, Bucky pinned Steve’s arms to the ground only to falter slightly at the smug grin on the blond’s lips.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvRYMotZ0
“Ohh, so you wanna hold me down while you ride this dick? I can work with that.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEJdmkWf7B
“Steve, what has gotten into you? Did you not hear me when I said you just died??”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R8QjlrGRv
“I’m tryna get into you,” Steve said bucking up against him, making the bulge plainly obvious. He was fully in Steve’s lap at this point. “Just the tip? Please, sugar, I’m beggin’ here.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI392L6ZNE
“Steve, you can’t be serious. I’m gonna get ahold of Wanda, something is wrong here. You’ve never acted like this.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2DTNRC99i
“And that’s a damn shame, sugar. Shoulda been tryna get in these pants for ages.” Bucky could only sputter at Steve’s words, especially when the guy planted another kiss on him. “I mean look at you, so pretty sitting in my lap like that. You’d look even better naked and riding me, so how bout it, sugar?”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmjFHoqJh
“But Steve, you died.” Bucky’s synapses were misfiring, he couldn’t fathom what was going on but the telltale heat of a blush rising on his cheeks spoke for him.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3qwOrjE6C
“I’m never making that mistake again,” Steve said. “At least, not without you by my side. You’re mine, sweetheart. Besides, you would have brought me back if I was taking too long.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp46gcoBuvD
Bucky whined at his words as he pressed their foreheads together, taking a deep breath. “Stevie, you know my magic doesn’t work like that.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueyTV7kkQF
“Still, I have full faith that you would’ve found a way.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U1Ty7gKyq
“Are you two quite finished?” Bucky jumped slightly before looking up to see Natasha drenched in water.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGGNyDkcqF
“Shit, what happened to you?” Steve asked. “Why are you all wet?”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTh8OySSAD
“You mean before or after your boyfriend torched the place? I hopped in that pool when the fire show started, at least that means the chair’s completely dismantled.” Natasha cocked a brow. “Remind me not to get on your bad side, Barnes. If I did though, it looks like all I would need to do is get Steve to rail you.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyI0oHHoOl
“Oh my god.” Bucky groaned. “How much of all that did you hear?”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisFITKTGkL
“Oh, we heard it all.” Sam’s voice rang out through the Wakandan comms that still somehow worked after everything. “Very entertaining.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFNmU52o33
"Now it all makes sense why Cap was always so obsessed with finding you too.” Clint’s voice rang out in his ears that time.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s9Ofg6Tu5
Bucky’s concentration broke when Steve rolled up before gathering him in strong arms and standing from the ground. Fuck, that’s hot.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ4xG2k4aR
“I’ll have to agree.” Natasha’s voice purred from their right.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x3LGmT81E
“I said that out lout didn’t I.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV0HkMsWYv
“Yep!” Steve’s excited grin was contagious, it made Bucky smile in return. “C’mon, we’re going home.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQz5N7iQwr
“The mission’s not over yet, boys.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPALT6MmKt
“I just died,” Steve whined. “I need my emotional support murder kitten by my side at all times.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtALLdF9Njd
“Um, excuse you, I’m an emotional support murder witch. Come correct, Stevie.” Bucky rolled his eyes but smiled into Steve’s cheek, pressing a little kiss there.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XlzsUyCKC
“I guess it’s back to the quinjet then,” Natasha said with a sigh.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TElu7d45m
"I’ll be there in 2 minutes,” Clint said. “Over and out.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLkdO84jsf
“After this, how ‘bout we take a break for a while, hmm?” Steve asked, still carrying Bucky as he began the trek back toward the surface. “How’s that sound, sugar?”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstQJoDC9eN
“Stop callin’ me sugar.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpceZGEkAVe
“You like it though, I can hear your heart racing.” Bucky could hear the smugness as Steve spoke, rolling his eyes at Steve’s resulting chuckle. “So, should we choose a random big city or escape to a quiet countryside?”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPuYTuaYSc
“Both.”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9rsLDZos6
“Both?”31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj2bYWmI28
“Mhmm,” Bucky said before pressing a kiss to Steve’s lips. “Let’s tour the world, we always wanted to do that. We can even start with the Grand Canyon.”
