request for plus size (NB?) reader x bucky:
reader is confident in their appearance, but while they're out and about with bucky someone comments on their weight. reader has a great comeback ready but bucky beats them to the punch (literally or figuratively XD)
and maybe afterwards bucky is like 'you ok hon' and gives them a kiss.
or whatever! sorry if this is too detailed!
Enjoy!❤️
The day had started well with some morning snuggles, a good breakfast and overall just a good vibe. you and Bucky had a few days off and had craved some fresh air. The weather was nice for late autumn, not too cold or windy and the sun also had a few appearances.
The two of you quickly built up an appetite and were very grateful that a crèpes stand was near your bench in the park. There was a couple already standing at the stand but they were snapping at each other, causing a minor scene. They kept rolling their eyes at one another, cussing and hissing and then dramatically turning away from one another, blocking the general line to the delicious french snack.
When you and Bucky approached the couple and politely asked them to let you cut the line, they rolled their eyes but still moved aside. “It’s on me, my love” your boyfriend grinned while taking out his wallet and ordering two crèpes with powdered sugar and some Nutella on top. “Of course” the seller answered with a bright smile before cooking up your snack, already having given Bucky the right change back but him being nice enough to let the man keep the change to support his small business. It wasn't until you had gotten your crèpe and were enjoying its sweet deliciousness a few steps away from the stand that the woman scoffed at you and loudly mumbled " Lose some weight, Piggy".
That sentence made you stop chewing before quickly swallowing your bite and approaching the rude ass couple.
"What did you say?". Bucky let out a silent sigh as he knew that you were perfectly able to defend yourself, but still felt sorry for you that you had been thrown into an uncomfortable situation.
"Lose some weight. It's so disgusting that you’re slobbing the food away. You lack some serious discipline."
You had to admit that you were taken by surprise by the random attack. You were plus sized, so what? You knew that your weight was not what defined you as a person. It only added to your worth as a human being. It was sometimes difficult to stay confident because society had always shamed and abused people like you, your community. Today was another example.
The woman gave you a mean smirk, her partner standing right behind you with a blank face. Bucky was waiting for his reaction and stayed put until it would happen. “Why are you being so mean?” you questioned the woman who let out another scoff, “Because just looking at you made me lose my appetite”.
The moment she said that, her partner started to look at you from head to toe, but not in a disgusted way. His eyes focused on your wide hips before they were stuck on your thick thighs that were covered by your tight jeans. Bucky recognized that look and felt a rush of disgust take over him.
“Babe, look at-Why are you looking at her like that?!” the woman gasped in shock once having turned to her partner, thinking that he’d help her fat shame you but only was met by the desired look resting on his face. “Are you seriously checking that fat bitch out?!”.
“Enough! I don’t need to lose weight, what you need to lose is that disgusting character” you hissed back, glaring daggers at the stranger woman. All she did was show you the middle finger while glaring at her partner, his embarrassed eyes avoiding everyone but the ground.
“The next time you want to fat shame someone, make sure that you check your partner. He might want to fuck one of us and not someone with a shitty ass personality as you”. You added before turning around and taking Bucky’s hand, feeling better because the shocked gasp that rang in your ears confirmed that you had hit a weak spot.
“Don’t you ever say that again, you fat bitch” the man now all of a sudden mumbled.
Before you could even fully turn around and react to the new insult, Bucky had jumped in two steps over to the guy and his metal hand already had collabed with his cheek. The guy fell backwards with a pained scream and his partner just stood there, shocked to the bone. “What the fuck is wrong with you?!” she screamed on top of her lungs but the small crowd that had gathered showed no sympathy. They simply stepped away so that they wouldn’t be in Bucky’s way when he delivered the soul crushing punch.
“If I hear another word from the two of you, it’s gonna get really ugly” you threatened, glaring at the woman who was now clenching her jaw, keeping her silence. Bucky quickly got back to his feet and glared at the guy who was moaning in pain and rolling around on the ground, not even acknowledging his partner as he made his way back to you and apologizing to the small crowd for his “sudden violence”.
“That’s fine, bro”.
“Oh no, you did us all a huge favor”.
“They honestly deserve more, but one punch from the Winter Soldier sure looks very painful. So, we’re good”.
Those were the responses the two of you received before walking away and waiting until you had reached a quiet spot in the park to catch your breath from the fucked up encounter.
“You didn’t have to punch him” you mumbled when Bucky held you close, his strong arms holding you tight and making you feel safe and loved.
“I know, but he really needed that reality check. No one can just treat my love like this. You’re breathtaking [Y/N]”, your lover whispered before taking your face in his hands and gently caressing your cheeks, his eyes filled with pure love and admiration for you.
“I love you” was all you were able to answer as pride, joy and love warmed your whole chest. This man would do anything for you and respected and worshipped the ground you walked upon. With all of your imperfections included. That’s what real love is about.
