Word Count: 908

Warnings: Angst, Psychical Pain, Loss Of Limb 

Prompt: Photograph

A/N: I wasn’t sure about doing this, I like how TTHLB turned out and did’t want to add more to the story -at least from her pov- But the idea of writing Bucky’s side of the story, what he’s feeling/going through, started growing on me. This gif literally has nothing to do with the story. He just looks so beautiful here. This is for @ibwhellospring Hello Spring 31 Day Fiction Short Story Event. Feedback is alway welcomed and appreciated:)

He lies there, the bitter cold of the snow numbing his pain. Not that he can feel anything when all he can think about is you. You and the baby. Nothing else matters, not even the pain coming from the direction of his left arm. Or at least where it’s meant to be. 

The only thing keeping him mostly conscious is the thought, the need, of getting back to you and finally starting a family together. He, slowly, reaches for the small pocket on his bloodied and torn jacket. Carefully, pulling out a small, worn picture.

It takes all of the strength he has to hold it, let alone look at it. In fear of losing the only thing that has been able to anchor him this entire time, he clutches the picture of you even tighter in his right hand. Before bringing it up into his blurred vision. He remembers the exact moment it was taken. He remembers every tiny detail. Every smell, every emotion, every thought running through him. 

You were working on dinner, you and Bucky had only been married a few days and you wanted nothing more than to make a special dinner for him. The only problem? You weren’t so great at cooking. It was never something you could get the hang of.

You had been so focused on making sure everything was perfect and dancing around to the music playing softly in the background that you didn’t notice Bucky come home. He stood there, watching you cook and dance for what felt like a lifetime. At some point he pulled out your old camera, and took a picture of you in that moment. 

He was convinced you looked even more beautiful in that moment than you did on your wedding day. When it came to Buck and compliments they were constant, but no matter how often or cheesy they were, they were always genuine. You knew he was being truthful. 

You tried your best to get him to throw it out, he was too stubborn for his own good. You knew he kept it, what you didn’t realize is that it never left his person during missions, even when he was back at base he had it on him. He was convinced it protected him. He kept it like a good luck charm.

He was tried after a long day at work, but knowing that he would be coming home to you made it all worth it. Every worry he got throughout the day was instantly washed away as soon as he saw you. 

As soon as he stepped into your small, cozy, home he’s greeted with the smell of dinner cooking and music. He smiles, knowing he’ll most definitely find you dancing around the kitchen. He thinks part of the reason you always end up burning something is because you’re too distracted. Not that he cares, he finds it cute you like to play the record he got you while cooking.

Quietly, he follows the smell of food into the kitchen. He smiles even brighter when his suspicions had been confirmed. He stands in the entry, watching you dance, humming along to the music. He leans against the wall, to get a better view. If Steve saw him this love sick he would never hear the end of it, not that he cares. Steve teasing him means he has all the more reason to brag about you.

He can’t help but wonder how a punk like him got as luck as he did. He never thought he would find a gal like you, who would not only put up with him, but also love him for the rest of your life. Not to mention want to have a baby with him.

You only seem to notice your husband after he took your picture. Not breaking eye-contact, he walks over to you. “Did you just take my picture. I didn’t even think that thing worked anymore.”

He chuckles, wrapping his arms comfortably around your waist. “I fixed it up for ya doll, it was meant to be a surprise. Then I saw you, figured I should make sure it works properly before givin’ it to ya.” 

“I look so gross.” you wrap your arms around his neck, he stares at you lovingly. “You could never.” he may sound overly confident, like he’s just flattering you. But you don’t miss the sincerity behind his words. 

“I’m covered in food, Buck.” you say, feeling a small flush in your cheeks. “It brings out your eyes doll.” he leans his head against yours. The two of you stand there, swaying to the music in the back round. Everything, for once, feels like it’s going to be okay. Like nothing could go wrong.

He tucks the picture back into his pocket, remembering every promise he made to you before leaving. He told you that he would come home to you. That you wouldn’t have to raise their child alone. A tear rolls down his muddy cheek, “I’m sorry doll, I’m so sorry.” 

“I never was good enough for you, was I?” he laughs bitterly. Resting his head back, he closes his eyes. The snow falls softly on his bruised and muddy face. Tears run down his face, mixing with the bitter snow. Reminding him of his failed promises. He knows his chances of survival are next to nothing. At least he can go peacefully, knowing you’ll get his letters, and the things he left behind.

To get more background -if you haven’t already read it- there is actually another part to this fic, here!

Welcome to Hello Spring!

A 31-Day, daily fiction short story event, where for every day in May, should you decide to join in, we’ll be writing a short piece based on the day’s prompt. This is both a sharing event and a chance to work out those writing muscles! 

Find my masterlist of this event here

Without further ado, a foreword:

To keep in mind: (these are kinda rules but not really cause it’s not that deep and formal, this is for fun!)

Don’t have to follow me to participate. Please reblog to help me spread the word.

I’ll be starting May 1st (lord knows i’ll try, no promises!) but you 100% don’t have to if you can’t or don’t want to. If you start these today, mid May or June that’s a-ok. 

The idea is to do 31 continuous days, but if you have to skip one that’s totally fine, just continue from where you left off when/if you return to writing them. 

Short Stories = 450 words. You can always write more if you want, I’m not going to stop your inspiration! 450 words is about 6 paragraphs! You can do it! I believe in you!

If you write more, please use the Read More feature. Reach out to me if you don’t know how and I’ll explain it! This makes it kinder to people’s dashboards. 

You can link all the prompts to each other, meaning one can be a part one to any other following day. In fact one could be part three to something you already have going on. Go wild!

Open to every fandom, just don’t do real people (like the IRL actors that play fictional parts) it can also be non-character specific (example a journal entry that doesn’t tell us who wrote it). ships allowed, no incest no pedophilia tho!

You can write in any format you want: AU’s are 100% welcomed, Headcanon lists, TFLN style, Journal Entry style with or without specifying character (just don’t make personal entries like about yourself IRL)

please tag the sideblog for this event (@ibwhellospring) in your pieces! and include #IBW: Hello Spring 2019 in the first five tags. You can also help yourself and myself keep track of which day you’re doing by specifying so, somewhere in the post and by tagging it with #ibwhellospringdayX with the number of the day’s prompt. 

This is zero commitment! I'll try to reblog all the ones i spot on a sideblog for this event to keep this one more marvel centered (@ibwhellospring) just have fun and practice your writing!
