Soup of the Day

Fandom: Marvel

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Filipina!Reader

Special request by @tom-hlover : Bucky x Filipina reader who is new to the country and a new lab assistant and is quite the workaholic.when time came almost everyone was at the mission when reader became sick and tried to cook for herself though she cant even properly stand up,when Bucky found her,

A/N: I mention the Agents of Atlas and Pearl/Wave aka the Filipina superhero. If you don’t know who they are, I highly suggest to read up on them because they’re awesome.

When you were personally recruited to the Avengers in America, you couldn’t believe it. You were so excited, but you were also conflicted. You confided with Pearl about your situation and she replied with “Ikaw gaga?! You’re going! This is a great opportunity!”

She was right, it was a great opportunity. So, unfortunately, you had to say goodbye to Pearl, to the Agents of Atlas, to your family, your friends, your homeland. 

Coming to America, it was a bittersweet feeling. You spent your first few months adapting to the environment and the people. Sam, being that he was Captain America, took it upon himself to help you with the transition as much as he can. But while he was away on missions, Bucky took his place. 

Being that you were working in the lab, you saw him often to check on his arm. While checking the wiring and updates, you two would chat. Bucky would share some of his mission stories, and you would share your stories about your work with Pearl and the Atlas team. You couldn’t see it, but Bucky would always find himself smiling whenever you talked about the Philippines and your life there. He could see how much you loved your job, your people, and your work. But he could also see the sadness, how the distance was taking a toll on you. 

So he always did the best he could to bring a smile to your face, to cheer you up, and because he loved it when you smiled. 

Also, because you were new to the team, you felt like you had to prove yourself. Working long hours, longer than required, just to prove you deserve to be there and to stay with them. But it seems like these longs hours were taking a toll on you because when you woke up this morning, you felt terrible. 

You slowly put your work clothes on, dragging yourself into work. You were there for less than an hour when Bruce finally took a good look at you and saw how sickly you look. 

“Y/N, I think you should take today off.”

You swayed as you turned to Bruce’s green hulking figure, “I’m fine. Promise.”

He grabs you by the shoulders to steady you, “You’re clearly not. Take today off. Rest. Take some medicine, eat some soup. You’re not working today.”

“But-”

“Nope.”

You sigh, rubbing your sweaty head with your clammy hand, “Okay.” you take your things and head back up to your room. 

You weren’t sleepy, and you didn’t feel too dizzy anymore, so you decided to make yourself some soup, specifically sinigang. You recall your lola making it for you whenever you were sick or even if you were feeling down. It was your comfort food. 

You take out the ingredients one by one, setting them onto the counter. You chop up the beef, onions, and tomatoes. Afterwards, you toss them into the pot with some oil to brown and saute. 

As you stand before the stove, moving the ingredients around, you start feeling dizzy again. You try holding onto the counter for balance, but it doesn’t work. Soon enough, you feel yourself falling and you’re waiting to meet the floor, but it doesn’t come. 

“Y/N, are you okay?!” 

You look up and see a blurry version of a familiar blue-eyes super soldier, “Bucky?” you murmur, trying to focus your eyes, but it isn’t working. 

Bucky pulls you up, wrapping his metal arm around you to keep you from falling. With his free hand, he feels your head with the back of his hand, “Geez, sweetheart, you’re burnin’ up. Bruce told me you weren’t feeling well. I came to check up on ya. Good thing I did. You nearly bashed your head into the counter.”

“I’m....I’m..ffffine. Just need.....sin-sin-soup,” you point to the pot that’s sizzling with meat and veggies inside. 

Bucky shakes his head, “You’re not cooking in your state. That’s a definite safety hazard. I’m taking you to bed and I’ll finish cooking the soup for you.”

“Bucky, no-”

“Bucky, yes. You need to rest, Y/N or you’ll get even worse.” As if you weighed nothing, he scoops you up and brings you to your room. Using his foot, he opens the door, and pushes it open. Then he places you onto your bed, pulling back the covers and helping you under them. 

As soon as he pulls the blanket over you, you sigh. Your eyes flutter shut and your head luls to the side. You’re out like a light and Bucky quietly chuckles to himself. 

He stands there, watching you sleep for a little bit, but then he remembers the food. He quickly and quietly rushes out of your room, leaving the door ajar in case you call for him, and head to the kitchen. 

He lowers the heat and looks inside the pot to find some browned beef, translucent white onions, and tomatoes. He’s not exactly sure what kind of soup you were making.

“Uh, FRIDAY, what exactly was Y/N trying to make?”

“Miss L/N was in the process of making sinigang, a traditional soup that originates from the Philippines.”

“Right. Uuuuhhh, do you mind if you could assist me in making this?”

“Not at all, Agent Barnes.”

______________

When you wake up, you’re a little bit groggy. Your body feels a little heavy, but at least your head isn’t spinning anymore. You look at your window and still see sunlight peeking from the blind. You turn to your bedside and see that it’s half past noon. You were asleep for nearly five hours. 

“How’re you feeling?”

“AYE!” you scream in fright and turn to the other side of your bed to see Bucky sitting in a chair, with a book in hand, “How long have you been there?”

He chuckles, setting his book onto your bedside, “Since you fell asleep. Well, a little less than that since I went to go finish making your, uh, sinigong?”

You giggle at his pronunciation, “Sinigang. But good try.”

“Hey, I don’t make fun of you when you attempt Russian.”

“Yes, you do!” both of you it there, chuckling with each other. A silence falls upon both of you, but it’s not awkward. It’s comforting. 

But you still clear your throat and break the silence, “So, you made the soup. How’d that go?”

“Uh, alright, I guess? FRIDAY helped me out. Also, I honestly didn’t even know tamarind was a thing until now?”

You nod, “Yeah, that’s what makes the sinigang sour.”

“Um, are you hungry? I brought some to you earlier, but you were still asleep. I could get you some?”

“I could get it my-”

“No no, you stay in bed. By order of Doctor Banner.”

“He came by?” you gave him a confused look.

Bucky nodded, “Yeah. You were out of it, so I’m not surprised you don’t remember. Also, you’re not working for the next two weeks.”

“WHAT?!” You shoot up from the bed, “But-”

“I’ll tell you why in a sec, okay? I’m gonna get you some soup and a glass of water. Okay? Stay right there! Don’t move!”

You roll your eyes and lay back down, “Whatever you say, tay.”

“Don’t know what tay is, but okay.” he shoots you a wink and exits the room. You lay there giggling to yourself like a school girl who has a big crush. Well, to be fair, you do have a big crush on Bucky. 

Minutes later, Bucky comes back with a steaming bowl and a large glass of water. He sits beside you and offering you a spoonful. You look at him with a glare and he rolls his eyes, “Humor me.”

You sigh and accept the spoonful of soup. You feel your throat warm up from it and you smack your lips together, “It’s good!”

He snorts, “Don’t sound so surprised.”

You place a hand on his thigh and gave him a grateful smile, “Thank you, Bucky, for making the soup and taking care of me.”

“Anything for you, sweetheart. Just-Just easy on the workload from now on, okay? Bruce says you’ve been working so much that that’s probably what got you sick.”

“Well, maybe I’ll keep getting sick so you can take care of me,” you playfully bat your eyes at him and he laughs. 

“I’ll do anything you want, doll. Don’t gotta get sick for it.”

You giggle and pat his leg, “Okay. Deal,” and then accept another spoonful of sinigang from Bucky. 

tagging: @buckybarnesthehotshot​ cause you know why. 

A/N: also, this may be controversial but....i use spam in my sinigang....

'Myosotis' ch. 6 'My Dearest Friend'

"So your heading back to mistral?" Asked Nora hugging her teammate Pyrrha.

"Just for a little while Nora, it will be alright!" Pyrrha said trying to fight out of the valkyries vice grip as Ren came and pried Nora off her.

"But..but what will fearless leader do he'll be all alone until we all come back!" Nora complained and Pyrrha laughed.

"I'm sure Jaune will be fine" she said before looking out the window of the dorm room too see Jaune chasing Ruby around the main grounds, both were laughing and enjoying themselves.

"So when do you head out?" Asked Ren having now restrained his girlfriend in a hug as Pyrrha teared her gaze from the window back to Ren.

"Tonight" was all she said before resuming her packing.

Ren looked at her for a minute before tugging Nora away to let the invincible girl to her devices and closed the door.

As the door closed Pyrrha let out a large sigh and looked out the window once more; Jaune and Ruby, no longer chasing each other, both on the grass laying down. Ruby with her head nestled in the crook of Jaunes neck. Both holding each other hands, eyes closed and with a smile on their face.

A sad smile made it's way to Pyrrha face.

*couple hours later*

"L-l-et go Nora!" Laughed Pyrrha as Nora hugged the girl in a constrictor grip "it's just for a couple months!" She told her which only made Nora squeeze more.

" Nora let's go, we're gonna miss our flight" Ren stated and Nora just pouted before reluctantly letting go, which in turn made Pyrrha gasp a bit for air.

"You'll call and text me until we all get back together?" Nora said and Pyrrha nodded before looking around not seeing Jaune anywhere.

" You've seen Jaune anywhere?" Pyrrha asked and Ren and Nora shook their heads.

"The dolt from your team was saying goodbye to the dolt on our team. Ruby, Yang and Blake are going back to Patch for break" Came the voice of Weiss as she walked by with her tremendous luggage. She was heading back to Atlas to spend time with her family. Pyrrha down trodden just gave an "oh".

*Beep Beep*

That was Pyrrha scroll going off as she looked down and it indicated her transportation to a bullhead was ready.

"We'll thats my call, I'll keep in touch with you every day" She said as he picked up her luggage and waved to the other two members of her team, Nora waving enthusiastically with tears in her eyes.

The walk through the halls to Beacons gate was long and silent. A lot of thoughts to process.

She kept remembering how happy Ruby looked as Jaune and her ran around the court yard. How happy Jaune looked too. He had that smile on his face like he was the happiest man on earth. That same smile when...he was with her.

"We Loved Once and True"

Pyrrha said as she reached the gates of Beacon looking at the car that was waiting their for her. A butler was outside holding the passenger door open.

"Hello Ms. Nikos it's so wonderful to see you again, your mother and father are greatly waiting to see you" spoke the butler warmly and Pyrrha smiled.

"Its good to see you Mr. Clarence" she said as she gave him a hug before he took her stuff to which he began loading up the trunk.

"Come we must depart now if we are to make our way to the port in time" he said closing the trunk and Pyrrha sighed before looking back to the gates and at Beacon.

She started entering the backseat and was about to close the door-

"Hey!"

A voice rang out which caught Pyrrha attention as she looked back st the location of the voice.

Their stood Jaune Arc. A smile on his face as he stood at the gates of Beacon.

"Thought you could just leave without saying goodbye?"

Pyrrha smiled and got out the car before running up to Jaune tackling him into a hug.

"Hello Mr. Arc good to see you again" said Mr. Clarence with a nod to which Jaune nodded in return.

"Good to see you to old friend" he said before turning back to the girl hugging him.

"So heading off to home huh? Tell the folks I said hello for me okay?" He said to her and Pyrrha just nodded.

"What about you? gonna be okay here by yourself Jaune, I thought Ruby would stay with you?" Pyrrha asked letting go of the hug and Jaune laughed.

"Nope! I told her to go spend time with her family, she was very adamant at first to staying with me" He chuckled remembering his fiance puffed up face ; arms crossed at him for telling her to go visit her family for the break.

"But...i told her that; her mother just came back into her life after so long that she should be spending as much time with her as possible and with a little kisses she agreed" he spoke ending in a cough.

"Getting sick?" Pyrrha joked to which Jaune waved his hand at her.

"I'll live"

"You didn't answer my question" Pyrrha said to Jaune to which he 'hmmm' a bit " I'll be fine, Ruby said she'd call me every day; same with Nora, we can all group call and chat every day until break ends!" Jaune said to which Pyrrha nodded.

"Miss Nikos we have to leave, sorry Mr. Arc" said the butler and Jaune laughed.

"Better get going"

And Pyrrha sighed before walking back to the car but looked back hesitantly at Jaune.

"Jaune...I.....Thank you" she said to him and Jaune looked at her in confusion.

"For what?"

"Everything...I know I wasn't the best girlfriend but-" She started but Jaune raised his hand and stopped her.

"Listen Pyr we may not have worked out but it's the past I don't hold no ill will to you" he said before pointing at her

"You are one of my dearest friends in the world and ain't nothing gonna change that" He said with a big smile and Pyrrha eyes glistened as he walked up to her before stretching out his fist.

Pyrrha smiled back and met his fist half way.

"Enjoy your time with your family Pyr I'll be here when ya get back Arc Promise!" He said putting his right hand to his heart.

"we all, team RWBY and JNPR will have one big family reunion!" He said enthusiastically as she laughed and nodded before getting into the backseat and closing the door.

The cars engine came to life and Pyrrha looked at Jaune from the window, his smile still present as he began waving at her.

She waved back as the car moved forward distancing herself from Jaune until he was little more the a dot.

" Don't worry Miss Niko it's just a 2 month break you'll see him again" Mr. Clarence chuckled and Pyrrha smiled.

Yes.

He was her dearest friend too.

They would all enjoy their last year at Beacon together; RWBY & JNPR.

"Pyrrha?...Pyrrha!"

*Real world: Mistral at the Nikos Estate present time*

Pyrrha snapped out of her trance and looked around to see the concerned faces of her mother and father.

"Sorry sorry I was just remembering something was all" still the concerned was present as her mother came up to her and gently touched her cheek.

"Sweetie...your crying" she stated to Pyrrha shock as she touched her other cheek and true to her statement tear we're present.

"Forgive me..I..-" "Its okay Pyrrha" said her father warmly and Pyrrha eyes began to water again before sobs escaped her her mother and father hugged her as they tried to help console their daughter.

"He-he-he" Pyrrha hiccuped as she just continued to cry and her parents just continued hugging her. Even after a full year. Their daughter was still hurting. Finally after a few minutes their daughter had calmed down.

"Thanks mom...dad" she mumbled as she separated herself from them. Wiping the tears from her eyes. Her parents just smiled at her before they here the beeping of a scroll. It was Pyrrhas.

She looked at it.

Yang Xiao Long was calling.

"Y-yang? This is a bit sudden whats-" Pyrrha went silent as she listened to Yang. "Okay I'll be their as quick as I can" she hung up before getting up from her seat. Her parents looked at her in confusion.

"Ruby might be introuble" "Miss rose? You mean Mr. Arc's fiance?"her parents asked and Pyrrha nodded.

"I'm off to Beacon to go help find her" she said in a tone that left no room for negotiations.

Her parents smiled and nodded.

"Take our private bullhead we will have Mr. Clarence take you" They said and Pyrrha hugged her parents thanking them for understanding and ran out the room to get ready.

The image of Ruby and Jaune resting together peacefully in the courtyard came back to mind.

She wouldn't fail Ruby this time.

She wouldn't fail her best friend again.

"Hold on Ruby please"

Back to Ruby from here on out.
