My Love Don't Cost a Thing

Fandom: Marvel (CEO AU)

Pairing: Chubby!Bucky Barnes x GN!Reader

Summary: You and Bucky have been together since he started his business. He's a big time CEO and, over the course of time, he's become, he thinks, not that great looking anymore. So he begins to buy you anything and everything you want in hopes that it'll make you stay with him.

It was a Saturday morning and you were surprised to find that your boyfriend of several years was nowhere to be found. 

You sat up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes and called out, “Buck?” you listened for a moment for any reply or sound, but nothing. 

You frowned, reaching over to your bedside and swiping up your phone. You see that you received a text from Bucky so you answer it:

Bucky Baby: morning, babe! i got called into work for an emergency meeting. breakfast is on counter as well as a little something else. love you!!

You softly smiled and proceeded to slide out of bed, stretching your arms above your head. You then made your way to the kitchen and instantly smelled Bucky’s blueberry pancakes that you loved so much. 

Beside your plated breakfast was a gift bag with the famous Prada logo on it. You can’t help but sigh because you’ve noticed that Bucky’s been getting you a lot of expensive gifts lately. You appreciate it, but you don’t really need thousand dollar bags and clothes. 

You opened the bag and appreciated the item that you pulled out. It wasn’t too fancy, more like a casual streetwear kind of bag. One that you know that’s been trending for a while. 

You set it back into the bag and sat at the counter, proceeding to dig into your breakfast. As you ate, you typed up a message to Bucky:

You: morning, babe! thanks for the bag. again, you really don’t have to buy me extravagant gifts! I’m totally fine with flowers and chocolates. Nonetheless, thank you. i love you and have a good day at work! hope it’s nothing too bad. 

It’s seconds after you set your phone back down that you receive a reply back:

Bucky Baby: i just love to spoil ya. you deserve the best, baby. ;D

You sigh, texting back a kissy face emoji and then back to eating your breakfast. 

______________ 

Bucky let out a breath of relief when you told him that you appreciated the gift. Despite you saying you’d appreciate the little things, Bucky felt like he had to spoil you with luxurious things. Why? 

Well, first off, he’s the CEO of the prosthetic company he built from the ground up after getting discharged from the army after getting his left arm blown off. Because he was the CEO, he ended up earning a lot of money, money that he could spend on you. 

Second, with work taking up a lot of his time, Bucky ended up gaining a lot of weight. He ate a lot of takeout food and hardly had time to go to the gym. He no long looked like the strong, fit, handsome guy you met several years ago. Now there was a little bit more chub to his cheeks, arms, thighs, and bellies. 

You’ve never stopped reminding him how handsome he is nor have you ever stopped being intimate with him, but still. Bucky knows that his attractiveness was what first brought you two together and now that he isn’t at that level anymore, he’s sure you’ll eventually leave him for it. And that terrifies him because you’re his world. The thought of losing you breaks his heart. 

So he tries to make up his lack in looks with his plentiful bank account. So far, you haven’t made the slightest indication that you want to break up, so that’s good, right?

________________

Bucky should’ve been home by now. It was almost 6pm and your reservations for dinner were at 6:30. You were dressed and ready to go, but Bucky wasn’t even home. When the doorbell rang at 6:20, you were hoping it would be Bucky, but you were sorely mistaken. 

“Y/N L/N?” the young man was holding a bouquet of your favorite flowers, a takeout bag, and a gift bag with the Louis Vuitton label on it.

“Yeah?”

“Mister Barnes sends his apologies. He won’t be able to make it to dinner, but he ordered your favorite.” he handed you the flowers and the bags and nodded, “Have a good night, ma’am.”

“Thanks,” you mumbled somberly and closed the door. 

You went over to the kitchen, setting your things down and plucking your phone off the counter, dialling Bucky’s number. 

“Hey, honey,” you can hear the exhaustion in his voice and you feel pity towards him. 

You sigh, rubbing your forehead, “Hey, Buck.”

“You get my gifts?”

“Mhm, see about that, I think we need to have a talk, Bucky.” 

Hearing those words from you, made Bucky’s heart drop to his stomach, “Is-Is something wrong?”

“Yes? No? Kinda? Ugh, I just-” you took a deep breath and collected your thoughts, “I want to have this conversation in person. So when you get home, we’ll talk. If I’m asleep, just wake me up. Okay?”

With a stuttered breath, he replies, “O-Okay. I’ll probably be here for another hour or two.”

“That’s fine.”

“I love you, Y/N.”

“I know, Bucky.” you ended the call without saying ‘I love you’ back to him and Bucky started to panic. 

They hate the gifts. They’re going to break up with you. They’re tired of pretending to love you. It’s over.

For the next two hours, those thoughts kept running through his head, so by the time he arrived back home, the luxurious home he bought for the both of you, he began to truly prepare for the worse. 

He gulped and cautiously moved towards the living room where he heard the TV on, “Y/N?”

You looked over the couch and softly smiled at him. You picked up the remote and paused the show you were watching on Netflix, “Hey,” you got up, greeting him and kissing his cheek, “Everything at work turn out okay?”

He nodded, “Yeah, uh, Parker rewired one of the prototypes wrong, which means our production date is pushed back.”

You rubbed your hand up and down his bicep, “Sorry to hear that.”

He shrugged, “It happens,” he then gulped down, “So, uh, you wanted to talk?”

“Mhm,” you took his hand, leading him to the couch, both of you sitting down, “So, I noticed you’ve been buying me a lot of stuff lately-”

“Do you not like them? I can return them and get you something better or-”

“-No, no. Bucky, hey, that’s not it. While I do appreciate everything you’ve given me, I don’t need them. And, I’ve been having thoughts.”

“What kind of thoughts?”

You sigh, looking away from him, trying to figure out how you want to say this, “Every time you cancel a date or you have to suddenly leave for work, you end up giving me something expensive and I just-I don’t know. I feel like you’re trying to buy my love, which I don’t understand because I already love you.”

“I’m not trying to buy your love,” Bucky says, scooting closer to you, “Well, maybe I was. I-I-” it was his turn to take a deep breath and collect his thoughts. 

“We’ve been together for seven years. When we first got together I was this fit guy that oozed sex appeal and now, I’m pretty sure I don’t ooze anything other than sweat.”

You look at him confused, “Bucky..what?”

He scoffed, “C’mon, Y/N. You have eyes. I’ve gained a lot of weight since we first got together. You probably don’t think I’m as hot and sexy as I used to be.”

“Okay, first off, that’s not true. Second, so you buying me all this stuff was to, what, make sure that I stay with you? Bucky, we’ve been together for so long and you really think that money and expensive gifts will persuade me to stay with you?”

“Maybe, I don’t know, Y/N! I just-I feel like I need to provide you something! I don’t give you anything nice to look at, we barely see each other at home anymore, I rarely take you out on dates. I’m trying to make sure you don’t leave me.” he says the last part with watery eyes and a broken tone. 

“Bucky,” you cup his round cheeks in your hands and look deep into his deep blue eyes, “I love you. I loved you when you struggled to accept yourself after getting discharged from the army. I loved you when you were struggling to find a job that would stick. I loved you when you came up with the idea for your company. I loved you when you had trouble looking for investors. I loved you when you opened your company. I loved you through it all and I love you now. 

“I knew that being with you while you started up and ran your company would mean sacrificing parts of you and I was fine with it. I’m still okay with it because you’re doing something that you love and something that will help so many people. What I’m not okay with is that you think you should buy my love, when it’s already something you have.

“Sure, you’ve gained weight and that’s fine. I still find you incredibly handsome and sexy. Did last night not give you that impression?” you asked with a chuckle and he just shrugs.

“I sometimes think that you’re just pretending to be attracted to me.”

“I promise you, babe, that’s not the case at all. I love you, Bucky Barnes. Whether you’re broke or rich, chubby or skinny. I love you and I’ll always love you.” you lean in, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips and Bucky sighs. 

“How did I land someone amazing as you?”

“I know right? I’m such a catch!” you giggle and Bucky joins you, leaning in for another kiss. 

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for thinking expensive things would make you love me.”

“I forgive you. And I meant what I said earlier, Buck. I’m a simple person. Flowers, chocolates, and teddy bears appeal to me so much better than fancy clothes and accessories.”

“So if I proposed to you with an expensive ring-”

You laughed, “Bucky, you could propose to me with a ringpop and I’d still say yes.”

“Noted,” he says with a soft smile, love shining in his eyes. You were right, you’re a complete and total catch and Bucky’s lucky to have someone like you.

Rough Arrival - Gregg x Reader [Night in the Woods]

Chapter One - Arrival in Possum Springs

After a relatively long journey, which seemed to last forever, you finally arrive in Possum Springs, your new town! -You place your luggage on the concrete pavement as you step out of your car. And there it is. - your new home. You couldn't quite believe it at first. A peaceful looking, cute, little home, which is soon going to serve as your daily shelter. You couldn't hold back your happiness anymore. Excitedly, you grab your luggage and run towards your house, while also hastily fiddling with your keys to unlock the door. After some struggling, you were finally able to put the key in its perfectly fitting lock and enter the inviting settlement. You were still completely stoked about the fact, that you've finally gotten your own home. - You're an adult now! A fully certified adult! Like a little child, you check out all the different rooms of your house, not leaving any little corner unnoticed. Sure, it was really small and quite cheaply built, but at least you had something.

After a solid hour of running up and down the house, you finally decided that it was about time to actually care about all the annoying "moving out" stuff. Like, unpacking... Ugh. The mood definitely sank at this point. You start by opening your luggage, and you grab a few things. Suddenly you stop mid-action.  Wouldn't it be a way better idea to introduce yourself to your new neighbors? And explore the town? Like, something actually fun? Yup, this sounded way better. Unpacking can wait, you have your priorities that can't wait to be fulfilled. Before leaving your house you quickly run to the nearest mirror and check your appearance. It's not like you're trying to impress anybody, but you don't want to run around looking like a walking corpse. You can do that after people already know who you are. "Eh, this is good enough." - You say to yourself. You strike a weird, but yet confident pose before slowly walking away from the mirror, and into the hallway. Quickly, you put on your jacket and shoes and prepare yourself for the outside world. After some hesitation, you finally open the door and enter the "nature" of your new town. "Let's do this!", you think to yourself while running up to the first house next to you. You were sure that you could do this. "Don't be awkward, you have to make a good first impression on your neighbors!" You ring the doorbell of the house and take a step back while waiting for someone to let you in. And wait.. and wait.. and wait... Man, what are they doing inside there?

Finally, after a sheer endless wait, a really tall and grumpy looking cat opens the door. "What do you want?", he asks, looking down to you. His voice was deep and sounded really intimidating. Or he just woke up, you weren't quite sure. You gulp before starting. "H-Hello! I'm your new neighbor!", you begin, pointing to your house. "I figured that I sh-should i-introduce myself!", you struggle with your words, but you still smile at him in a friendly manner. You could swear at this point, that he is trying to kill you with his death glare. "Like I care..", he mumbles and violently shuts the door in front of you. You jump because of the sudden brutal action by your grumpy neighbor. "Well, that went absolutely terrible." Your sight fixed to the ground, you leave his house, completely embarrassed. Frustrated, you think about how to not let this happen again. The problem is, that you're too shy and don't even know any witty responses, and you certainly wouldn't start a fight with them. Every second you wasted thinking about what had just happened, made you even angrier before you snapped. "You know what! - If they don't want me, then they don't fucking deserve me!", you say to yourself. It was definitely quite easy to upset you, to be honest. With a grumpy expression on your face, you decide it would be a good time to explore the town.

Slowly, you walk into the little town, looking in every direction. Your anger was forgotten really quick while walking through the magically beautiful streets of the little town. On every corner you could at least spot one cute and tiny shop, next to the quiet streets, with some kids occasionally running around. This town definitely held what many people promised you. You were probably a bit too negligent because you soon bumped into someone. A rather tall crocodile, with an apathetic face and a cold stare. "O-Oh.. I'm sorry..", you look at her in an apologetic manner, ready for a shower of bad words. - But instead of that, she just grumbles something and walks away. "Is really each and everybody like this in this town..?", you think, before quickly continuing your little exploration journey. While walking around, you stumble across various nice looking places to shop at, which you kept in the back of your head. Who knows when you need some random stuff? It will definitely come in handy some day.

Thinking about shopping so much, you suddenly remember that you also need some groceries.. to like.. live? Your anger from back then really messed with your thoughts. Luckily, you just walked past a relatively big looking shop, called "Snack Falcon". - How convenient. "Sounds promising", you think, looking at the logo of the store. As you notice that the sun is starting to go down, you quickly walk in the shop, not wanting to waste any more time, where you're being greeted by a wave of warm air. You first notice the cashier, that was.. sleeping. Well, it was relatively late, to be fair. You decided that this is a problem for later and after a quick look at the store, you walk towards one of the aisels. Not like you had much to choose, there were only like four.

Not a long time later, you have collected some necessities for your everyday life and made yourself on the way towards the cashier. You could see the small fox cashier up close now, that was still sleeping. He's wearing a black leather jacket with a gray turtleneck underneath it, and he's got orange-gold fur. You couldn't spot any more details from behind the counter, sadly. "Okay.. he is kinda adorable..", you think to yourself. Quickly, you shake your head, getting rid of the weird thought. "What am I even thinking? It's really getting late.." You stand there for a while, just staring at him, a bit overwhelmed with this situation. You start a bit hesitant: "Uh-Uhm... e-excuse me..?", you slowly and softly poke the fox, in the hope that he would wake up from that. "Wh-Whaa..?!", he suddenly jumps up, seeming really confused. - Well atleast it seems to have worked. "Sorry! I didn't want to scare you.." He looks at you, a bit tired. It took him a while before he realized where he is. "Nah, it's okay...", he rubs his eyes, while mustering your face intensely, even coming a bit closer. His navy blue eyes seemed like they could read all your thoughts. After a while he suddenly begins: "You're new here arent'cha?~", he smiles. Confused, you look at him. "Just moved here... H-How do you know..-?", you utter. "Everybody comes here at least once. I know, like,  each and everyone here.", he smiles at you in a really confident way, while staring directly into your eyes. You could sense how you were starting to get nervous, but before you could talk yourself out of this situation, he already started talking again. "I'm Gregg, by the way. Nice to meet you, I hope you have a nice time in Possum Springs.~", he says in a sing-song tone while grinning cutely. You take the paw he had stretched out for you to shake. "I-I'm [Y/N]! Nice to meet you, too..", you smile at him. "..Gregg.~"

-end of chapter one-
