Lonely

Summary: You’ve just left behind your friends, family, and old life to move to NYC for your new job, but finding a connection in the bustling, crowded city seems impossible. That is until you meet the barista at the coffee shop 2 blocks away from your apartment.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes X Reader

Word Count: 2k

Warnings: Language probably? Otherwise this is kinda cute and fluffy, and Bucky is excitable (inspired by how soft Seb looked at TIFF 2017!)

A/N: Hi guys! This is my submission for the prompt Lonely to @ughjoekeery​‘s Wonderland Writing Challenge! I’ve never written a coffee shop AU so I decided to try it out, even though I’m sure there’s 20 other fics just like it. A big thanks to my beta @fangirlisms-22, who loves anything and everything coffee related. There is a part 2 to this post and it’s called Lie (my second prompt from Caro’s Writing Challenge). If you want to be tagged in the second part, send me an ask! 

I love feedback, so tell me what you think!

Home had gotten, claustrophobic.

Your relationships felt restricting. Confined by your family, constantly trying to live up to their expectations to prevent disappointing them. Hell, even your friends had become limiting.

Your job was one of the few places you felt you had room to grow at your own pace. While you were suffocating in your personal life, you’d decided to apply for a promotion. Having been a copy editor for a publishing house for almost two years, and you were ready for a change. The news that you got the book editor position strained your relationships even more. But that didn’t matter to you because you got a great job, in New York City.

The promotion gave you the confidence to break away from your routine. Although you’d grown comfortable at home, you were also very lonely. All these people were in your life, ever present reminders of what you were supposed to be or do. Yet, you felt like no one was there. No one truly wanted you to do what was best for you. And it didn’t matter how many people were around you, the intimacy you desperately desired wasn’t present.

Moving to New York alone was the exciting part of breaking out of your comfort zone, but your bank account wasn’t quite equipped to handle it. You found a studio apartment in Brooklyn, not far from the subway you had to ride in to Manhattan, but it was tiny. Yet, you packed your bags and picked up your life.

No one said how hard it would be to find a real connection in the city. Over 8 million people in such close proximity, but within your first couple weeks in the city, no one clicked with you. Sure, your new coworkers were nice and chatty, but there was no after work bonding. No lunches spent getting to know each other. You knew two actual people who lived in the city that you attempted to keep contact with, but they lived in Queens and Hell’s Kitchen.

So you spent your time alone. At first, you could still pretend it was nice, good to have independence. But that went away quickly as you spent every night in, watching TV or working. It made the loneliness you felt at home seem tiny. This loneliness swallowed you whole and left you staring at a blank wall in bed, holding onto your pillow like it was another person. You even caught yourself talking out loud to no one. You needed a friendly face to latch onto, just a person to bond with. But you went on with your life.

A couple weeks later you picked up a new writer for the company. She sent you the first draft of her novel and begged you for some help editing. Needing a day out of the office, you head home but got blocked in on the subway and miss your normal exit. Getting off at the next stop, you decide to just walk the five extra blocks. Knowing the book is 800 pages long, you plan on making a large pot of coffee and nursing it all night long, but you run into a traffic accident that has the street a block away from your apartment blocked off. You turn down the street before it to avoid the accident, and your pace slows as you notice a small coffee shop you’ve never seen before.

Obviously, it’s cheaper for you to go home and drink what you already have, but your feet carry you to the glass door. As you step inside a wave of calm crashes over you, refreshing your tired limbs and pulling you toward the long wooden counter. The place smells like espresso and croissants, and you see a small table that’s perfect for you to work at. As you step up to order you notice that the barista is an incredibly handsome, scruffy haired man and you shift your weight nervously. Even after being in New York for a month, you still aren’t used to how many beautiful people live here. Every time you pass a supermodel or an actor, your jaw drops. And this man looks like he could have both of those careers.

He’s writing something down as you slide a hand across the countertop, and the movement catches his attention momentarily. He doesn’t look up at you, his hand still scribbling on a piece of paper, but he asks, “What can I get ya?”

“Um, just a 12 oz-,” you start as he drops his pen and glances up at you. Your voice dies in your throat, disappearing as you stare at him. The contrast between his dark beard, and his light blue eyes is stark but stunning. You gulp audibly and the corner of the beautiful man’s mouth tugs up into a crooked smirk. Catching yourself, you drop your gaze to the counter and blink quickly. “A 12 oz latte and a chocolate croissant.”

His fingers tap on the cash register and you dig in your purse to find your wallet. “That’ll be $4.50,” you can feel your cheeks flushing under his gaze.

“Oh, uh, isn’t the croissant worth that much alone?” you ask, pulling your card out.

“Yeah, it is. But you look like you need the coffee more than the store needs the money,” he comments, a sly smile framing his words.

“I-, I’ll pay for both,” you stumble, holding your card out.

He takes it from you, reading your name on the card carefully. “You just did,” he smiles and hands the card back to you before tapping on the register again.

“No, no, I can’t let you do that,” you shove your card back towards him.

“Can’t let me do what?” he asks as he grabs a plate and mug.

“What-, what you’re doing. I won’t let you make that for me,” you say, pointing at the chocolate croissant he’s picking up.

“Who said this was for you?” He tilts his head to the side as his gaze narrows. The crinkles that form around his eyes makes you nearly go weak in the knees. “I’m making this for me.”

“Hey lady, get out of the line,” a middle aged man says from behind you. You glance over your shoulder, giving the man an apologetic look.

“Yeah lady.” You turn back to the barista that’s got your heart nearly beating out of your chest. “Go sit down,” he says as he points at the table you were eyeing.

“I-, I don’t-.”

“Seriously?” the angry man says, taking a step toward the counter and nearly shoving you out of the way.

You glare at him, all your politeness having evaporated, and throw your hands up defensively, “I’m going.”

“Right over there,” the barista says, pointing at the table again. You turn your glare on him and he grins victoriously at you. Another barista walks behind him and he shifts his attention from you to the man at the counter, amusement disappearing from his features. “Next.”

After taking a seat at the small table in the corner of the shop, you pull out the printed draft of the novel you’re editing and a black pen. You’re writing a comment on page three when your generous barista approaches you.

“I warmed up the croissant,” he says as he places the plate and mug in front of you. “And if you have any complaints about your service, you can bring them up with me personally.”

You roll yours eyes at his words, leaning back in your seat, “My complaint is that you wouldn’t take my freaking money.”

“Hold on,” he responds, holding his finger up to you as the other barista calls to him. The young woman calls him Bucky, and you find yourself leaning forward, curiosity pulling at your brain. 

He turns back to you, his brows furrowing as he clasps his hands together in a plea, “My break is in 20 minutes and I’ll be more than happy to sit and listen to all your complaints with my full attention then.” You want to turn him down but the charming smile that transforms his features from brooding and handsome to devilishly enchanting keeps you frozen in your spot, butterflies already tickling your stomach. You pretend to appear angry, but when you don’t respond he winks at you, and you feel a tightening in your chest.

Maybe you finally found a person to have a connection with, or maybe your dumbass fell for a pretty face in less than 15 minutes. But either way, watching him work leaves you wondering what you’ve got yourself into.

You’re 12 more pages into the draft, making notes on sentence structure and character descriptions, when you hear the chair across from you scrape against the floor. Bucky sits on it backwards and watches you with an amused smirk.

“I see you liked the croissant,” he gestures to the plate specked with crumbs.

“Warming it was a nice touch.” He cracks a smug smile and you fight the urge to roll your eyes as you tuck your pen behind your ear. “But there’s no way I’m leaving here without paying for this.”

“What are ya writing on?” he scoots his chair to the side of the table, getting closer to you.

“It’s um, a book I’m editing for work.”

“Oh, that sounds like a fun job.” When you don’t respond he rambles on. “I mean, anything’s better than having to deal with the asshole public. I get yelled at by at least 3 people a day here, and I’m not even the person who helped them.”

“The publishing world’s filled with assholes, they’re just egotistical writers and our bosses instead of the public. But you do make a killer latte.”

“Thank you,” he grins. “Do you write too?”

“I used to, but it’s been a while.”

“(Y/F&L/N), that sounds like an author’s name to me.”

“That used to be the dream,” you say wistfully, staring at the book in front of you, trying to ignore how smoothly your name rolled off his tongue. How nicely it sounded in his voice. “Stop trying to distract me, Bucky. I’m paying you back for the food.”

“There’s no need for you to do that.”

“It’s not about whether I need to do it, it’s that I’m going to do it.”

“You’re really that set on paying me back, huh?” his eyes twinkle with an idea.

“Yes.”

“Okay then, you can pay me back by going to dinner with me.”

“What?”

“How does tomorrow night sound?”

“Um, excuse me?”

“I’m thinking Thai-, do you like Thai?”

“Slow down there.”

“Or do you like Italian? There’s this amazing spot a few bloc-.”

You cut him off by laying your hand on top of his, his eyes darting to you immediately, and you swear you see a hint of anxiety in them. “You seem like a nice guy, Bucky. And this is kinda, um, too fast, and super forward, and I just moved here-.”

“I could show you around,” he offers, his thumb brushing against your hand. Your heart feels like it might explode in your chest.

“While I appreciate that, I’m still getting settled in. Figuring this place out, and I, I’m not looking for a relationship right now.”

“Oh, okay.” The excitement that crinkled the corner of his eyes disappears.

“I don’t really have any friends here, and I don’t want my first connection in this city to be a rushed romantic thing.”

“I get it.” His hand pulls away from yours as he drops his gaze.

Your shoulders slump as your heart finally slows its beating, and you nearly reach for his hand again. You finally find a goddamn connection in this city and you’re already chasing him away on day one. “It’s has nothing to do with you.”

“You don’t have to talk around it. You can just say no.”

“But I’m not saying no to you, I’m saying no to the situation. I don’t really know you, but you seem sweet and you make a mean latte, and that goes a long way in my book. But right now, well it’s just not a good time.”

He glances up at you, features softening again. “It’s okay to say no.”

“Okay Bucky. It’s a no.”

For now.

My (Whispers&Whiskerburn’s) 2K Fics

When I reached 2k I put out a music based challenge and asked 22 of my followers to select prompts either for them to write for or for me to write for.

Their awesome writing can be found HERE!

But below the read more are descriptions, prompts and links to the seven fics I was requested to write. Enjoy!

 “So Close” Dean x Reader Fluffy fic with hints of angst where Dean gets a wish come true and it’s exactly what he always wanted most--so can he trust that it’s real? Request by: @wildfirewinchester Song Prompt: “So Close” Jon McLaughlin Dialogue Prompt:  “Sweetheart, I’ve loved you for forever.”

“Wanted” a fluffy Dean x Reader fic where Dean realizes that he’s not been showing his hunter/Reader/girlfriend enough attention and takes her on a camping trip to make up for it. Request by: @littlegreenplasticsoldier​ Song Prompt:  “Wanted” Hunter Hayes Dialogue Prompt: “This is between me and you. And we’ve waited long enough.” **Special Note: combined with a prompt from @one-shots-supernatural​ for her VERY late birthday present. :)

“Have You Ever?” Dean tried to leave the Reader out of the life, but both of them realize that they’d be happier together. Lots of time jumps as it goes from first meet to reconnect, to a happily ever after which is found in the sequel where I included the remaining lyrics: “Have You, Forever” Request by: @dancingalone21​ Song Prompt: “Glitter in the Air” P!nk Dialogue Prompt:  “Wow. I…uh, you look incredible. What’s the occasion?” 

"Forever After” A sequel/conclusion to the part 1-2 fics from prompt #3 above, Dean and Reader get to enjoy a sweet fluffy honeymoon together. Request by: @amanda-teaches​ Song Prompt:  “My Lady Soul” The Temptations Dialogue Prompt: “You’re an idiot. Of course I love you.”  **Special Note: combined with a prompt from @butiaintgonnaloveem‘s Tiff’s WTF Challenge.

“Mr. Wrong” is a Soulless!Sam x Reader fic. She’s up for a challenge and Soulless Sam trips her trigger just the right way. Request by: @feelmyroarrrr​​ Song Prompt: “Right Kind of Wrong” Piper Perabo, Dialogue Prompt:“Could you possibly be more confusing?” **Special Note: This reader and relationship was inspired by an earlier drabble of mine, found here.

These next two fics are parts 2 and 3 to a mini-series that has been a LONG time in the making based on a song that wasn’t actually part of this challenge (“The Fool” by Lee Ann Womack) and which I have dedicated to my good friend @plaidstiel-wormstache​ who has been an enthusiastic supporter of this fic idea from the beginning.

The masterlist for that series can be found HERE, but since parts 2 and 3 were inspired and based on the songs in this challenge, I wanted to make sure they found their place on this list as well.

“The Fool (Pt 2)” Lisa tells Dean about the conversation she had with the Reader and Dean realizes how much his confused heart is hurting the people he loves. Angst. Request by: @hiswickedkitty​ Song Prompt: “Mercy” Shawn Mendes Dialogue Prompt: “Do you know what the worst killer in the world is? Hope.” 

“The Fool (Pt 3)″ Dean goes to the Reader and finds her hurting. They share their grief for Sam but comfort turns to holding, and with his emotions on the line and her so fragile, they cross a relationship line they can never go back from. Angsty, comfort, smut. Request by: @captainemwinchester​ Song Prompt:  “May I” Trading Yesterday, Dialogue Prompt:  “Sweetheart, I’m just getting started.”

I’ll tag my forevers in this when I’ve actually posted all of the fics!
