Strangers In The Night (Miniseries?)
Bucky Barnes x reader AU
Summary: You meet a handsome stranger at a bar.
Words: 1,085
Tumblr media
You went to a bar, you had frequently visited in the last few weeks. You went there not because there would be the best drinks in town, no, not even close. It was because of this one tall, mysterious, handsome stranger you had laid your eye on. You had seen him only two times before, but it was enough to fall for him.
There was something intriguing about him that pulled you to him like a magnet. He made you feel things only with his smile alone and the way he looked at you, making you wonder how else he could make you feel in different ways. You hadn’t talked to him yet, but you wanted to.
What you didn’t know was that he was interested in you too. The first time he saw you, you were there with your friends. For a second, he thought you smiled at him, but he wasn’t entirely sure you were saying goodbyes to your friends and already leaving. Since that night, he came there every friday night waiting, hoping you would show up. His usual spot at the bar and the same drink, occasionally throwing glances at the entrance, waiting for you to show up again, walking through the door, making the time around him stop.
He was convinced that you were the one he had waited for his whole life.
Tonight was his lucky day. After waiting for about two hours, he thought about leaving, but then he lifted his eyes from his almost empty glass and saw you sitting across the bar from him. How hadn’t he noticed you sooner? He couldn’t help a smile that twitched at the corners of his mouth, seeing you smile at him.
He didn’t know you, but he thought you could understand him. He had never felt like this about anyone. This was a new exciting sensation. It was scary and thrilling at the same time.
Downing the remains of his drink, he gathered all the courage he could muster and made his way to you. His heart beat in his chest like crazy.
“Hi, there.” He greeted you with a warm smile.
“Hi,” You smiled back.
“I noticed you are drinking the same poison as me. Are you copying me?” He placed his elbow on the bar counter, leaning against it.
“Maybe you are copying me?”
“Touché. Can I buy you a drink?” He asked. When you agreed, he ordered two drinks, one for you and one for himself.
“Look, I was just trying to drink here, but you are very distracting.” He smiled cheekily, taking a seat beside you on the free bar stool.
“Me? How am I distracting you?” You smiled in amusement, placing your chin on your hand, giving him your full undivided attention.
“By sitting here, all beautiful and mysterious. Driving me insane over there.” He pointed at his previous seat. “Couldn’t take it anymore, I had to come over here and talk to you.”
“How many times has this line worked for you?” You felt warmth flowing to your cheeks. The pickup lines were cheesy, but it worked for him.
“Quite a lot, actually.” He chuckled.
“Seriously?” Your brows raised in surprise at his bold answer.
“No,” He laughed. “I don’t usually do this.” He admitted, running his fingers through his short hair. You wanted to do it so badly, brush your hands through his locks, pull him close to you, and kiss until… “So, what’s your name, besides beautiful?” He asked, breaking you out of your daydream.
“Y/n.” You chuckled at the cheesy line.
“Pretty name for a pretty lady.”
“I can't believe you just said that.” You laughed, making a face. “And what's your name? Or am I supposed to call you Mr. Handsome?”
“Bucky, but you can call me whatever you like." He winked a spark of mischief crossing his stormy blue eyes. "Sorry about the bad pick-up lines.” He apologized, adorably crinkling his nose.
“They weren’t that bad.”
“Oh yeah? Then prepare for the ultimate pick-up line.“ He grinned, leaning a little closer to you. “What does a place like you do in a girl like this?” He asked, twirling his glass between his fingers.
You burst out laughing.
"Oh, no..." He realised his mistake. "I meant, what does a girl like you does in a plase like this?" He shook his head in emberesment. "There goes my chances."
“Well, that was something I haven't heard before. Drinks, mostly.” You didn’t want to confess to him straight ahead that you were there because of him.
“Hmm, mostly?” He seemed intrigued by your answer. “I have a feeling there is something more to it.”
“Haven't decided yet.” You winked playfully, hiding behind your glass as you downed your drink.
A couple of drinks in the conversation was flowing effortlessly. You talked about some usual stuff people talk about to know each other better. You found out that he only recently has returned to New York, where he had lived most of his life. He decided to move back since all his life was here, and he missed it dearly.
“I’m going to be completely honest here, I’m here only because you are here. I almost lost my last hope tonight and went home, but then you showed up.” He said, looking through his lashes.
Your heart skipped a beat from the way he was looking at you, and you accidentally knocked over your empty glass, quickly catching it before it rolled down the counter.
“Looks like someone’s quite buzzed.” He observed, offering you a paper napkin, which you took to clean your hands and the counter, wiping the few drops of liquid that spilled from the bottom of your glass.
“I’m not drunk. I’m just intoxicated by you.” You cooed, you didn’t feel drunk, you felt sober even.
At this point in the night, the bar was almost empty. The couple at the other side of the bar, on their countless drink, whispered something to one another. The bartender polished glasses, occasionally glancing over the room. Quiet music played in the background.
“I know, I’m a stranger you just met at a bar, but do you want to get out of here?”
“Yes.” You nodded, already standing up and taking your jacket from the back of the chair.
“Your place or mine?” He asked, taking your jacket from you and holding it for you to put on.
You thought about it, considering all the options. “Your place, but with one condition...”

Listening to "Strangers in The Night" and I think of all the people I met coincidentally.
And ended up loving.
My eyes tear up and I could feel that suffocating pressure in my heart.
None of them are here anymore.
We went from strangers, to friends, to a little more, and then to much less.
We became strangers once again.

Thank you to the incredible @aurahack (@aurahack) for our new cover art! Here's a bonus WIDESCREEN version of it, too!
[Img ID: The cover art for the Palisade season of Friends at the Table. At the top, the Friends at the Table logo is in a light purple. The top of the background is a swirling purple and pink nebula that shifts downward into something like a green and blue and shiny aurora borealis that also looks something like a glassy lake surface. There are two big floating starships or structures in purple with big yellow glowing panels and multiple much smaller ships floating amongst the nebula. There's one big planet that looks almost like it's marbeled or like it's a glossy gas planet, with an orange gradient and purple swirls, and a jagged red cut is circling all the way around the planet. End ID.]

AND thanks to @/dancynrew (@dancy-nrew) for this incredible map art!
[Img ID: An illustrated map of the planet Palisade. The map is called "A MAP of the PLANET PALISADE in the FINAL YEARS of the PERFECT MILLENNIUM". There is a grid-lined background where every square has some multicolored planetoids, but there's also something like roots growing between and around some of the planetoids and a few symbols and an upside down eye and eyebrow amongst the galaxy. The map itself is a flattened out version of Palisade, which is split horizontally by what seems like a crevasse, which goes through the sea as well as the land. There seems to be one big landmass, that goes into a sort of peninsula on the other side of the crevasse. Some of the larger locations from left to right are: The Wisk Sea, The Bontive Valley, The Shale Belt, Greenfield, Brecheliant Forest, The Caldera Stretch, and The Diadem. There's a many labels for smaller locations across the map. There's also some beings or figures at the top of the map that are labeled "The Five Afflictions". End ID.]

This one is kinda long tho, sorry about that but I didn't want to split it up because of what's coming up in the next chapter, pacing wouldn't fi right. But I hope you all enjoy this one! It's area of weakness for me but I hope it comes out okay :)
