Confession: Part 1

“Hey, want to go get coffee or something?”

Yamato looked over his shoulder. “Since when do you drink coffee?”

Taichi waved a hand impatiently. “Not the point. So? Want to?”

There was band practice later. Yamato had been planning to do homework in the narrow period of time between school and practice. Otherwise, he’d have to stay up late to do it, and he knew he’d be exhausted by then. Practice had become a stressor all on its own.

He turned around completely and took a closer look at his best friend. Taichi’s eyes flitted away, as they had been doing too often of late, hands jamming into his pockets. Yamato frowned.

This could be nothing, or…it could be the break they’d been waiting for all this time. Maybe Taichi was finally going to let him in.

The miasma that had been hanging over his best friend since at least the infected Digimon first started showing up had lessened after the final fight with Meicoomon, but not entirely disappeared. That had not been so concerning, at the time. They had all been through a lot, and Taichi more than most. Taichi had been forced to watch Daigo-sensei sacrifice his life for him. He’d had to shoulder the burden of deciding that Meicoomon had to die. He’d had to weather Hikari’s anger. It was understandable that he’d be depressed for a while.

Still, it was clear that he’d broken through whatever had been holding him back before, and that had seemed like enough. His smile had seemed close to normal, if infrequent, for a short time.

But as the weeks passed, the distance between the rest of the chosen children and their leader hadn’t really closed. He was still holding himself back from them. He still isolated himself, he still pushed himself to act cheerful when he was around them, he still changed subjects when anyone tried to ask him what was wrong.

Yamato had felt too wrung out himself after everything to do more than give Taichi the eye occasionally, letting him know that there was at least one person not buying his bullshit.

Taichi reaching out on his own was…but on the other hand, it was probably stupid to get any hopes up. The last several times Taichi had acted like maybe he was ready to talk, they’d just wound up sitting in silence or reminiscing about old times.

Yamato sighed, resigning himself to a late night.

“Yeah, alright.”

A little while later, they were sequestered in the back-corner booth of a quiet coffee shop. Yamato watched Taichi stare out the window and took a long, pointed slurp of his coffee. The other boy glanced at him and Yamato raised a brow.

“So? Was there something you wanted to talk about?”

The brunette fiddled with his hands, not saying anything.

Irritation sparked.

“What, so you just dragged me out here for nothing? You know I have better things to do than just sit here, right?”

“Wow, sorry it’s such a waste of your oh-so-valuable time to hang out with me,” Taichi snapped. “If you didn’t want to come, you could’ve just said so.”

“It wouldn’t be a waste if you would just stop dithering. There’s something going on with you, there has been for months now, and you want to tell me, finally. Right?”

Taichi hunched. Yamato groaned, running a hand through his hair, and tried to rein in his temper.

It hurt to see his friend suffering. Being unable to do anything about it was a special kind of torture that was driving him insane. He’d tried to be patient because, after all, getting angry that Taichi was too stubborn to share his feelings and ask for help would be pretty hypocritical, coming from him.

That was the point, though, right? They were supposed to have moved beyond all that with each other. Maybe Taichi felt like he had to keep up a strong front for the others, but Yamato was supposed to be the exception. They’d seen each other at their worst. It felt like a stab in the heart that Taichi refused to trust him.

Yamato closed his eyes and made himself breathe deeply. Then he leaned over the table and placed his hand over his friend’s.

“It’s me, okay? You can tell me. I won’t tell the others if you don’t want me to.” He tried to lighten his tone. “Whatever you’re worrying about, don’t. It’s impossible for my opinion of you to get any lower, anyway.”

“There’s been some stuff I’ve had to figure out,” Taichi said slowly. “It’s taken me a while, and I’m still not really…I mean. I don’t know how to do this, Yamato. I don’t know if talking about it is even the right thing.”

This was definite progress. Taichi was admitting there was something to talk about.

“Have you talked to Agumon,” Yamato asked, struggling to keep his tone casual.

His friend sighed. “Agumon can’t really help. There are some human things that Digimon just don’t have a frame of reference for.”

Carefully, Yamato squeezed Taichi’s hand where it still lay on the table under his. “I’m your partner, too, aren’t I? Talk to me. It won’t hurt anything.”

“Won’t it,” Taichi said hoarsely.

Yamato’s heartbeat echoed in his ears. Whatever this was, it was bigger than he’d thought. Obviously, it would have to be serious to have caused his friend so much upheaval, but Taichi was genuinely scaring him. Worst-case scenarios flashed through his head: I’m addicted to drugs, I knocked up a girl, I’m sick, I’m dropping out of school to pursue a life of crime…maybe not that last one.

“Taichi, look at me,” he said.

He waited until deep brown eyes finally locked with his. He clenched his fingers around his friend’s again, hard. “No,” he promised. “It won’t.”

Taichi searched his expression.

In the silence, Yamato noticed for the first time that it had started raining. The drumming of the downpour was loud in the space between them.

The reflection of the raindrops trailing down the window drew flickering lines of light and shadow over Taichi’s face like a veil of tears.

“I’m gay.”

Part 2

Good morning

Bucky Barnes X Reader

Warnings: cheating, insecurities, lies, angst, misleading storyline?? This one is long

Summary: when Bucky stops texting his long distance girlfriend good mornings each morning she gets suspicious, going back to America to visit him she's in for a surprise she had never expected.

A/N: guess who's writing again? No one because no one guessed because like 3 people will read this and it will be dead forever *shrug* I feel like this storyline is really misleading so, sorry? Also AOS is a main theme for this but if you don't watch the show it really doesn't matter

This is Bobbie btw for anyone who wants to know what she looks like for this

It had been over a year since you had seen your boyfriend, well properly seen your boyfriend, moving back to England was a hard decision for you but you knew it was the best one, you knew that taking the promotion was the best thing you could do but your mind was still constantly plagued with insecurities and worries, but you knew Bucky wasn't like that, he could never? Could he?

It had started about 3 months ago, his usually cheerful morning texts which never failed to bring a smile to your face had stopped, almost ceased to exist, from his constant hey, baby! How's my gorgeous girl? To his babyyy! Wake uupp! It's been too long! Facetime me when you're free my pretty doll. his morning texts had fallen to a simple hey or I'm busy we'll talk later and the main fact he never bothered to text first anymore had caused your usual insecurities to skyrocket, why did he never have time to send you a simple hello anymore? Or more importantly who meant he didn't have the time?

Your phone buzzed as you say in bed, mind plagued by thoughts, you immediately shot up, hopefully Bucky had gone back to usual? Opening your phone you had found a simple text from your boss Phil 'meet me in the headquarters at 10', why was Phil in England? More importantly why did he need to see you?

Standing up you prepared yourself for the day to come.

"Hey y/n/n!" Your good friend and teammate Bobbi chirped as she brought you your regular morning drink

"mornin' Bob" you slurred out as you wrapped your coat around your frame tightly, shivering as you took in the very open windows.

"someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Argh! No! Stop throwing things at me!" Hunter shrieked as Bobbi began throwing pillows at him.

"Wow, adorable couple" you mumbled as you took in the pair, after getting remarried the pair had fallen deeply in love once again, you wished you could have that but unfortunately being the director of S.A.B, shield associations Britain you barely had the time to speak to Bucky, yet alone the time to break up with him or move on, whereas normal couples may have fallen apart you were way to busy to even think about dating or parties or even making new friends, you stuck to your own lane.

"hunter! Barbra!" A familiar, fatherly voice boomed as the familiar figure of Phil Coulson stepped into the office, taking in the pair he hadn't seen since Russia "I thought you two were never coming back to shield?" He grinned happily

"we could never leave our dear y/n alone in a country! She's so far into work she hasn't even been shopping yet!" Bobbie exasperated "and please, Phil! Dont call me Barbra! Barbra is far worse than any possible nickname you could give me!" The blonde grinned cheekily

"Bobbie, stop being so dramatic, we went shopping last month!" You shook your head playfully as you took a seat at your desk, gesturing for Phil to sit opposite you beside Hunter -who had perched himself happily onto one of the plush leather chairs-

"I need you to come back to New York for a while" Phil stated softly

"what? Really? Ohmygosh nofreakingway!" You shrieked happily

"English, y/n/n!" Hunter playfully chided, wagging a finger at you as you practically glowed, you had missed your friends and especially Bucky.

"when?" You asked excitedly

"next month, I'm sending agent Piper to hold things down till you get back here" Phil smiled at the young woman, barely reached her late 20's and still so experienced yet full of life. A small smile graced his lips as he watched the h/c girl jump up and start rambling.

• time skipy•

The buzz of the quinjet filled your ears as you stepped off, e/c orbs wandered as you took in the familiar tower in which your boyfriend and some of your closest friends lived, sighing deeply you grabbed Bobbi's hand and quickly guided her to the doors

"nervous?" She asks over the low rumble of the quinjet ascending back into the air and back to the main s.h.i.e.l.d base. Turning your head to face Bobbi you opened your mouth to deny but quickly remembered how useless it would be- you knew the spy since s.h.i.e.l.d academy! She knows you better than you do and vice versa

"I don't know why, b! I mean I'm going to see some of my best friends AND my boyfriend!' you blurted out exasperated, anyone walking past might have looked at you like you're crazy but Barbara Morse was your best friend in the entire world and she had seen much worse than you screaming out into the rough winds.

"y/f/n" she stopped walking abruptly piping your linked arms backwards with her "has Bucky been acting weird with you?" She asked inquisitively, shrugging you immediately regretted not speaking to her about Bucky before, she would have helped. "Oh y/n/n; you didn't you tell me? No wonder you're so skitterish today! Whatever it is I'm sure it's nothing too big, Bucky loves you and I can even tell that without meeting the man! He's probably on a mission or something, he IS an avenger" Bobbi calmly rubbed your back as she spoke, guiding your hand to the identification scanners.

"thanks Bob, you always know how to make me feel so much better. I love you" you sighed dreamily, aiming to annoy the woman "oh you cow! Stop being so corny!" The blonde laughed aloud and she lightly smacked your hand, walking into the escalators you began calming your nerves, you felt like a giddy teenager going to her first date. And you hated it. The fact that a few stupid texts had lead you into this trivial paranoid stage had fully set into your mind. It was Bucky for god's sake! James Buchanan Barnes, the same James who stumbled over his words when asking you out, the same bucky who arrived an hour early to pick you up for said date and almost died when he realised, the same Mr Barnes who quit the avengers (although for 10 minutes) to be with you. He was your Bucky and you don't need texts to know that.

As the elevator doors pinged open you and Bobbie stepped out and into the large lounge which occupied the avengers.

Looking up Steve's mouth gaped open before jumping up and accidentally flipping the table over as he ran towards you "Y/N/N! YOU'RE HERE OH MY! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN SO LONG! I MISSED YOU!! AND IM SO SORRY ABOUT HOW HE-" Steve blabbered out as he squeezed hugged you tightly, barley taking in anything he was saying you were quick to end his ramblings

"'tevie! I've missed you and all but shhhh inside voices remember" you laughed as the soldier nodded looking like a lost puppy

"sorry y/n/n but I've missed my best friend so-" this was when Bobbie felt to make her presence known "hold up! Wait a minute! If anyone is y/f/n's best friend; it's ME. So sit down mate, she's mine" bobbie stated proudly, reminding you of your (then) puppy when meeting Bucky

Shaking your head you introduced Bobbie and greeted everyone else, sitting down inbetween Pietro and Wanda you looked around the room, the obvious man who wasn't in the room still plagued your mind "hey,guys where Bucky?" You asked with a small smile, the avengers a looked at you as if you'd grown 2 heads "what? Can't I see my boyfriend?" You laughed, greeted with silence you stood up "I check I'll check his room then?" You asked wearily before all but sprinting our the room, barely noticing how the room erupted and bob and Steve had run after you.

The elevator door closed as soon as you stepped inside, you were so confused, why was everyone so shocked? Especially when you called him your boyfriend? And Steve looked mortified! Taking a deep breath you stepped out and walked to your "boyfriends" door

"hmm yes buck!" A feminine voice sighed from the room as you neared it, stopping about a step away from the door you could almost feel the tears gathering in your e/c orbs, pushing them away you stopped to listen...not a sound came out, your mind must have been playing tricks surely!

Gulping a big breath of air you stepped forwards and opened the door quickly "Bucky! Surprise! I'm- Oh my god" your playful tone turned quiet and lifeless and you took in the scene Infront of you, bucky laying almost naked ontop of a scantily clad Natasha

•

Steve knew something was wrong the moment you asked for Bucky, why would she ask where Bucky is? Bucky had told the team he broke up with her to date Natasha MONTHS ago, then y/n called him her boyfriend and the entire team was stunned as it dawned onto steve.

Bucky didn't break up with his girlfriend, he was cheating on her with Natasha whilst the girl was off being a good person in England.

Steve quickly ran after his friend, Bobbie following shortly after as they attempted to keep up with the h/c girl, when the elevator doors closed quickly the man knew he was far too late.

"Rogers? Care to explain?!" Morse snapped as she stared up at the giant of a man

"buck...no" too in shock to believe Bucky, HIS Bucky would do this, words Jumbled and the man leaned against the wall awaiting the lift to come

"spit it out Rogers! If something is wrong with my best friend I need to know!" Barbara placed a hand onto the blondes arm, staring into his eyes as she searched for answers

"Bucky said they broke up, he's been seeing natasha since October"

•

Bucky knew he'd messed up, quickly scrambling off of natasha and throwing the blanket over her barely clothes body the ex assassin stared up at his girlfriend...well ex now he guessed

"you... little...I can't even.." you gasped out as you stepped back into the hallway

"y/n! Baby no!" He cried running after you

"OH FUCK OFF BARNES" your calm yet betrayed tone turned Malicious as you turned too him in a rage and screamed, the other avengers at this point had caught up and we're watching shocked, they had seen your angry side of the field or in life or death situations (or scariest of all, during monopoly) but never had you ever screamed or raised your voice at any of them and here you were fists clenched and body shaking as you stated at the man Infront of you.

"YOU ARE HONESTLY THE MOST EVIL MAN I'VE EVER MET! WHILST IM OUT THERE WORKING SO HARD FOR SHIELD YOURE WHORING AROUND WITH THAT SLAG?!" You screamed, natahsa at this point had stepped out and stared at you in shock

"Hey! You want a punch, bitch?!"

"she's not a slag!" The pair yelled at the same time, this just fueled your rage.

"OH FUCK OF! DON'T KID ANY OF US NATASHA YOU SLEEP YPUR WAY THROUGH LIFE AND YOU BARNES IM SURPRISED YOU EVEN GOT NATASHA SEEING AS YOURE SO FUCKED UP I'M EVEN SURPRISED YOU GOT ME!" you had no idea where this was coming from but rage and pain from all these few months had come crashing down on you

Feeling a familiar and protective arm wrap around your shoulders you expected the figure to pull you away, or hug you, or calm you but no- Barbra Mose does NOT tolerate betrayal and most certainly not when it's directed at her best friend

"you're surprised? Babes, the whore has probably slept around with half the world, i mean the cheap cunt probably had to flash her saggy boobs and that bitch ran to her with open arms" Bobbie stated, her voice strong and insulting yet everyone without even knowing this woman could tell that she was about to commit a murder.

"let's go, hun" bobbie stated, your energy gone as you pushed through the team behind you, however you stopped and turned to see that Bucky and natasha, although looking guitly had traveled to eachother, you turned back to face them and took menacing steps towards them, as soon as you were in range of the pair you cocked your fist back and bought it to the throat of your boy- your ex.

"bye Barnes, rot in hell with this demon of a woman"

And with that you called Phil, you wanted to disconnect the avengers from the S.A.B and told him that you would be extending your trip; it was time to step up as director, you were here now and your job was to make sure Sheild is at the top, and no sex obsessed dick of an ex is gonna break you.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Okay it's so bad I know but the first parts were in my drafts for so long and I need to start writing again, I accidentally deleted my Steve imagine AND the first Bucky imagine so I'm trying to get those back but I'm also trying to actually right again. No one's gonna read this I know but it was a fun idea I had that strayed far, plus as long as I like my writing I'll keep doing it and maybe I'll do a part 2? Idk
