Bucky Barnes Thunderbolts* Pride Drabbles

pairing: Bucky & Thunderbolts* (platonic besties)

summary: Bucky comes out to the thunderbolts*.

word count: 766

a/n: Hello gays! Happy Pride month! I kept thinking of a scenario where Bucky came out to the thunderbolts* and I finally wrote it down. I am not a writer by any means so this is just me having some fun. Also don’t take everyone’s sexualities too seriously this is all in good fun and if you headcanon a character differently that’s great. I tried my best to keep everyone in character. Enjoy the silly gay people!

Bucky is at a point in his life where he is secure about who he is and his sexuality. He has done a lot of work on himself and now lives in a new world where he is allowed to be himself, and he does. He doesn’t have to repress his feelings for men when they were more than just casual hookups like he did in the 1940s. He could breathe and love freely. Bucky was never one to be really loud about his sexuality though. However, it was never a secret to the Thunderbolts*. It just had never come up. That was until a conversation with all the Thunderbolts* in the common area in the watchtower. 

Ava was panicking because she actually liked a guy for the first time. Like ever. Convinced she was the biggest lesbian in the book and this stupid guy suddenly made her question everything. She was freaking out and part of her wanted to ask him out.

“Guys, I don’t know what to do,” Ava says pacing back and forth between the kitchen and the living area. “I don’t know how to flirt with GUYS. I can’t just tell him he is beautiful or say how good a dress looks on him.”

“I mean you could if he is wearing a dress,” Yelena says with a smirk, chuckling after seeing Ava scoff in frustration.

“Do not worry Ava. He will say yes,” Alexei states looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because you are beautiful and intelligent woman, it is that simple,” Alexei responds.

“It will be fine Ava. You’ll think of something,” John says sitting on the chair next to the t.v. half listening

Bucky joins in, “Well when I want to ask a guy out I usually just ask if he has been to the new gay bar downtown and if not that to go to some old shops in the heart of Brooklynn. But I don’t know if that first one will work for you.” 

There is a slight pause for a moment. Then Walker shoots up out of his chair and walks over to him.

“WHAT? Wait wait.. You’re gay?” Walker says not meaning to come across as judgemental, however it is hard for him to do that in a normal circumstance.

“Bisexual, but yes.” Bucky gazes at him with a furrowed brow trying not to get defensive.

John stands there confused.

Yelena turns to John and starts saying, “Walker what is the matter with you it is 2025. Everyone can be who they are-” She is cut off by Walker saying, “I know that. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to come out like that.” 

John pauses.

“I am just so surprised I just thought we were the straight guys of the team.”

“You seriously thought Bucky was straight? You couldn’t tell?” Ava asks.

“And you could?” John responded befuddled.

“Walker, what about Bucky seems straight?” Yelena questions with genuine confusion on her face.

“YOU knew too? Was I the only one not told anything?”

Yelena responds, “No Walker he hasn’t told any of us but come on he gives the fucking GAYEST energy!”

“Wait-” Ava starts, staring at Bucky with a perplexed but amused look. “Are you dating Captain America?”

All the Thunderbolts* turn and stare at Bucky.

“I- uh- well- uhm..” He stammers.

“Oh, you guys didn’t know they were dating?” Bob asks the team, emerging from the shadows after staying quiet the whole conversation.

Bucky turns to Bob shocked and panicked, “Wait, how did YOU know?”

“Oh, Joaquin told me.”

Bucky began, “Oh my god. Sam couldn’t keep his mouth shut-” Bob interrupts him, “Sam didn’t tell him anything, he just figured it out because everytime you call or text Sam, he acts like a kid in a candy store.” 

Ava joins in, “Ohh that’s why you are so giddy when you tell us Sam and Joaquin are coming by the tower.”

“Lovebirds they are,” Alexei says with a grin on his face. Bucky rolls his eyes.

“You have a type, wowww. First Steve, now Sam. Walker, you better be careful Bucky might start coming after you because of those stars and stripes and that taco shield,” Yelena says with a smirk staring at Bucky.

“Oh shut up Yelena,” Bucky says annoyed.

The team goes back to helping Ava ask out the guy she likes. He sits there for a moment and smiles. Bucky didn’t realize how relieved he would feel with the people he cares about knowing who he truly is.

ridiculously stupid bit guys im sorry

help.

its been weeks but all i constantly think about is a ragtag team of depressed mercenaries saving nyc from a meth addict with the power of friendship.

Thunderbolts was a trap. They lured me in with found family vibes and Florence Pugh in a bob and now I’m extremely mentally ill for Bucky Barnes again.

[chasingdreams05]

i feel like shipping shouldn’t be about which ship is morally or narratively or thematically ‘better’ but more about which one makes you want to throw up and write fics and jump about and make playlists and talk to people about it like the need to scream into a pillow about a random rarepair is more valuable to me than thinking about if they’ve even met

[chasingdreams05]

If John was a senator like Bucky, he'd probably get exposed by Sentry for having gay sex like most real-life politicians using Grindr in secret

[chasingdreams05]

Knew I wasn't mentally okay when I watched thunderbolts and related to Yelena and Bob

[chasingdreams05]

a random thought that JUST popped into my mind but imagine Alexei at pride as one of those "free dad hugs" people. he'd be SO excited. i think this thought just healed me a little bit.
