Unbearable
Summary: After the group movie night, an advertisement on TV shocks the entire group and leads to an investigation. Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader Word Count: 5679 (weeee) Warnings: Fluff, angst, Bucky’s trauma being disrespected, language, canon violence A/N: I have absolutely no self control when it comes to word counts, and this story is a wild ride. It’s also from another late night brainstorming session with a friend, who you can totally blame for me thinking about this. And forgive me for the title, I like puns, okay? This was beta’d by the lovely @saxxxology and the gif was made by me (although this story isn’t 1940′s Bucky, the man gives good face). Enjoy!
Movie nights at the Avengers compound were always a popular event. Thanks to various press tours, public appearances, and the occasional baddie, there was always at least one person from the team missing whenever movie nights were scheduled. It was a hazard of the job, you knew, but once in a while, the stars aligned perfectly and everyone that lived in the compound was in attendance.
Wanda was just pulling the final bag of steaming popcorn out of the microwave when the two final stragglers, both super soldiers, decided to come through the doorway, each wearing henleys and sweatpants. Bucky plopped down in the empty spot next to you and pecked your lips in greeting, a large smile on his scruffy face.
“Oh, the centenarians decided to join us,” Tony announced, twisting his wrist to check his watch. “Sure it isn’t past your bedtime?”
You reached over and slapped Tony on the arm with the back of your hand. “Hey, be nice. This is the first full group for movie night in what? Seven months?”
“Seven months, twelve days, three hours, and forty-six minutes,” Vision rattled off in his usual accented cadence.
Wanda smiled at Vision and bent down, pressing a kiss to his temple as she passed you the bowl of popcorn. “It’s been a long time, we all deserve some rest.”
“What are we watching?” Steve asked, shuffling over and dropping into one of the plush leather recliners with a huff. “Something upbeat, I hope?”
