Stay With Me

Summary:

Bucky wanted him to stay, but watched as he left him behind.

Notes:

June 11: Stucky

Has some minor language, and some dub-con as in the past Steve and Bucky had sex when they were both drunk.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Bucky stared blankly at Steve. He couldn’t believe his ears. Steve was leaving him. For Peggy. Bucky understood, he did. He just wished it wasn’t true. He knew Steve missed Peggy, and that he wanted to have a normal life with the love of his life. Bucky just always thought Steve would be there for him, ‘til the end of the line.

 

Guess it's true

I'm not good at a one night stand

 

     Bucky thought back to when they slept together one time. It was before the war, but after the depression. Bucky was between jobs, and he and Stevie had been drunk off their asses. Bucky and Steve had sex that night. Hot, sloppy sex. And Bucky had never wanted it to end.

 

But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man

These nights never seem to go to plan

 

     The next morning, Steve had a fever and Bucky was too busy taking care of him for either of them to remember the previous night. It had never been brought up, even though Bucky wanted it to happen again.

 

I don't want you to leave

Will you hold my hand

 

     “Okay, Stevie.”

     Steve smiled at Bucky, and even though Steve’s smile lit up the world, Bucky’s world was falling apart.

 

Oh, won't you stay with me?

'Cause you're all I need

This ain't love, it's clear to see

But darling, stay with me

 

     Bucky watched Steve pick up Mjölnir and smile at Bucky, knowing he’d be back soon, just not in the way Banner or Wilson thought. Bucky wanted him to stay, but watched as he left him behind.

Notes:

Inspired by Sam Smith's "Stay With Me"

This is how I view Bucky viewed Steve going back in time to be with Peggy. Sorry for all this angst this month. This isn't as fluffy as I thought this series would be. Guess I'm just in one of those moods.
