Challenge: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

I'll also do what deta did and post comments + short fragments.  (Be warned it'll be very long though, and most of these are actually Pokémon fics since I was a much more prolific writer when I was younger, and that was the fandom I wrote mainly for.)  I also won't be including "Heroes and Thieves" on here (or any DC/superhero stuff really since I’ve essentially “done” everything I had planned for now), as *technically* it is all already completed in draft form, and I'd like to keep things a surprise for whenever I do end up posting~

Hero and Seek

“Well, we’re all together now, so let’s have some fun, all right?  Don’t worry, it’s really simple.  One person is the ‘demon’, and the others have to hide from him.” “Eh?  A ‘demon’?  But that’s scary!” Three pairs of eyes turned up to her in fear.  Those eyes, which screamed and streamed the stark color of blood the first time she saw them – not just from tears, but from the ‘monster’ they believed dwelled deep within.  She thought for a moment, then removed her scarf. “How about this then?  Whoever’s the ‘hero’ has to find and rescue the others.  It’s a very important Blindfold Brigade mission!”

I’ll start with the one Kagepro fic I did attempt at least, which I described previously here, but is basically about Ayano + the Meka Trio playing “Hide and Seek” for the first time.  (I actually had it originally titled as that but just came up with this new version on the spot lol I’m so clever~)  For some reason I’ve always been hesitant about reading/writing Kagefic, but I actually got a fair bit farther in this than I thought, so perhaps I should try to finish it someday... Princes and Frogs

“K-Koizumi-senpai… Um… Please go out with me!” Itsuki stared down at the tiny underclassman, watching a rose mantle spread slowly over her cheeks as she gazed back with shy, but determined hope in her bespectacled eyes.  The older boy could make out his own handsome face reflected off the lens, a virtual image embellished by sparkling hearts and stars.  With dim satisfaction and relief, Itsuki ensured that his bright, patient smile betrayed no hint of the weary sigh that whispered behind it.

This is an intro excerpt of the first chapter I planned to write for an ItsuHaru fic from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which I only ever posted the prologue for.  ItsuHaru was my first obsessive OTP, and I still think about returning to this story someday (especially since I have now proven to myself I *can* finish a full chapter fic if I put my mind to it), but it’s been so long I feel like I’d need to refresh my memory of the whole series/am still holding out hope for a Season 3 to motivate me again. *shot*

Fall to Pieces

As Itsuki stared at Yuki’s vacant visage, his resentment kept building.  His hands clenched, rigidly gripping the edge of the table.  Somehow, it just didn’t seem fair.  That she could so easily ignore the madness fate had dealt them, never reveal any signs of suffering or bitterness towards her situation, and yet always, always wear the same damn expression on her face. How could she possibly stand it? He can’t stand it. (any more)

An ItsuYuki one-shot, where Itsuki basically blows up at her from pent-up frustration over having to wear a mask all the time and his hidden feelings for Haruhi.  The two start to form a connection over their respective “unrequited loves”/understanding of each other’s pain, and one thing leads to another...  Like “Heroes and Thieves”, this is in fact technically “complete”, since I actually used the leftover steam from the former towards finishing at least one thing I started a long time ago - although I’m still not sure I’m totally satisfied with it/kinda want to wait to figure out what I’m doing with my other ItsuHaru fics before I publish it by itself.  (Incidentally the working title comes from an Avril Lavigne song lol.)

Little White Lies

“Perhaps the best thing for the princess would have been to fall in love.  But how a princess who had no gravity could fall into anything is a difficulty--perhaps the difficulty.” -George MacDonald, The Light Princess - Haruhi Suzumiya was walking on air. Itsuki could tell by the way she glided into the clubroom, sailing like a paper airplane – or a balloon with an inflated ego to match.

...Yeah that’s as far as I got with this.  This was meant to be a “White Day” story, which is Japan’s “answer holiday” to Valentine’s Day, where guys reciprocate by giving gifts to the girls who gave them chocolates.  I always wondered how the boys actually responded in-universe, and I imagine Itsuki secretly stressing out a lot about taking care to not upstage Kyon, but at the same time wanting to sincerely express his genuine appreciation and feelings towards Haruhi - whatever they may be.  In the end, he settles on a copy of “The Light Princess” by George MacDonald, which I highly recommend reading since it reminds me so much of this pair, and in general is such a fun and snappy “tongue-in-cheek” take on the fairytale genre. Sora in Wonderland

But wait- this one was a bit different from all its brothers and sisters.  For one thing, it was wearing a fancy waistcoat with pockets- and sleeves that were far too long for it.  As soon as it passed by her head, it stopped and slowly turned its head around to stare directly at her with its huge circular yellow eyes.  Sora stared vacantly back for a full five seconds before the information registered in her brain and she suddenly yelled, “Hey!”, and sat bolt upright.  The Heartless panicked upon hearing her voice and fled at top speed across the white sands, headed towards an opening in the rocks; Sora jumped down off her perch and immediately chased after it, no longer caring about the heat.  The Heartless hastily disappeared inside the cave, and Sora soon followed after, determined to catch the freaky little thing and ask it some questions, like what it was doing on the island at this time, and where on earth did it get a waistcoat.

OKAY SO I TOTALLY FORGOT THIS WAS A THING but apparently I tried to write a Kingdom Hearts parody of “Alice in Wonderland” lmao.  I’ve never actually played the games (aside from half of CoM), but it was probably inspired by a crossover art my friend drew? ^^; Also Sora is a girl in this bc that’s my headcanon and I’m sticking to it. XP *shot* Note: The following fics are all Pokémon-related so I’ll just be listing them in roughly chronological order (from most recent to ancient, although they’re all pretty old at this point). Stranger

The elder slowly rose to his feet, gazing at the boy, the champion, the stranger.  “In all this time, why didn’t you come back?  You could have seen for yourself how she was.” Lance wanted to yell something defiant, like a child.  But he wasn’t a child.  Children were forgiven for their mistakes.  And he didn’t want to be forgiven. The professor’s ancient hand came to rest on the boy’s shoulder.  “It’s the way this town works.  We don’t talk about things that happen outside our own world.  Maybe it was too long ago – too late for you to understand.” Lance didn’t say anything. “At least talk to Delia.  She’s been wanting to see you.” “Sorry.  It’s too late.” “You’re a bastard.” “I know.”

So this looks to be among the last things I’d written before taking a long break from fanfiction circa... 2007, jeeze.  Over 10 years, huh.  But, I think it speaks a certain amount of maturity that it’s the piece I liked most upon rediscovering.  It’s based on an idea I once had that Lance was (unknowingly) Gary Oak’s father, and he was friends/rivals with Ash’s father, who originally won the title of Champion but relinquished it so he could be with his “wife” and kid (or rather, then-pregnant teenage girlfriend).  *Something* happened though (I forget what I had in mind) and he ended up dying, leaving Lance bitter and depressed so he refused to return to Pallet Town because of too many painful memories.  (Though he *cough* “comforted” their other female childhood friend for one night of drunken grief before he left. ;()  What I like most about it honestly is the parallels bw Lance’s relationship with Ash’s dad and their sons’, and that amidst all the angst I enjoyed portraying the earnest energy and optimism of Ketchum(?) senior (”like father like son” after all).  I was definitely inspired by Mitsuki’s father in Full Moon wo Sagashite/Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist by making him a total “dork dad” who’d brag about his (illegitimate) family on national TV during the championship tournament lol.

Ihavenoidea

Either way, I get the feeling this really wasn’t what I had in mind when I made my decision to quit training.  I mean that in an intuitive sort of way.  Like, sometimes I feel as if I’m not meant to be here, like my life should have ended up differently someplace else.  Perhaps this is just one of those weird inconsistencies I told you about.  Perhaps not.  Even after all that’s happened to me recently, I still can’t really be sure about it.

...No seriously, I have no idea where I was going with this.  As far as I can tell it’s written from the POV of Gary Oak, whom I’ve always had a lot of... “complicated” feelings towards.  It probably has something to do with another concept I’ll discuss next, although for some reason it sounds like I was going for some sort of AU? *shrug* By contrast to the above, it reads like a whiny teenager complaining about his life - which makes me cringe but is probably an accurate portrayal of who I was at the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This one was actually dated a little after the previous, so my best guess is it was some kind of vent rant where I would “give up” writing/creating and “childish” ideals for a while, as I was wont to do - but I still always come back to it somehow... RainbowMolly

Molly stepped out from the car and onto the dusty road, her heart beating wildly.  She could hardly believe she was actually here, of all places. The ride had been long and mind-numbing with anticipation, and now that they’d finally arrived at the destination, it all felt somewhat surreal to her. A small bear clambered out from the vehicle, joining her as she stopped to take in the rustic view that met her bright blue eyes.  She smiled and picked up her Teddiursa, cuddling its warm, fuzzy body close to her own. Her gaze traveled down the road which stretched in both directions, houses lining up against its margins. She followed it with her eyes towards a hill in the distance, on top of which sat what looked like a quaint little farmhouse with a windmill, turning in the summer breeze.  She breathed in the country air, catching whiff of a faint salt smell from an ocean in the distance. So this was Pallet Town.

...Why I didn’t actually name the file “Chasing Rainbows” - which was the title I had planned for this - I don’t know.  This dates back to an old idea I had where I believed Molly Hale from the third Pokémon movie was secretly the true “God” of the Pokémon world - in the sense that the entire universe was an unknowing fantasy of her own creation, similar to Haruhi Suzumiya (ok fine this was totally a crossover/rip-off of the same concept so sue me OTL).  In a place where children never seem to grow up and can go on grand fantastical adventures forever, Gary always struck me as an anomaly who willingly *chose* to forego such a life to pursue more “adult” interests by becoming a researcher.  So I saw him as filling the role of “Kyon” - the cynical narrator who was destined to ground “God” and bring her back down to earth, but at the same time be won over by her innocence and charm and learn to appreciate “kids’ stuff” again.  However, the Legendaries were actually aware of the power Molly holds, and so saw Gary as a threat to their very being - as by “waking” the dreamer and having her face reality meant erasing their kinds’ entire existence.  As the “apocalypse” nearly occurred in the third film, Mew and Celebi took on human disguises (in the form of May and Max respectively) to investigate Ash, who was able to calm Molly and “save” the world by “perpetuating” the delusion (and whom Molly totally has a crush on btw *shot*).  So it’s a bit of a love triangle lol, with Mew and Celebi (*cough* an alien and a time traveler, get it? *shot*) acting as mediators/interference.  (Although Mew might’ve secretly shipped Gary and Molly herself. ;O)

Betrayal

And these blades, these damned scythes that attached themselves to my arms when I was born, a curse upon me since birth, though it had not been apparent up until now.  They were covered with blood, the vital crimson liquid that flows through our bodies, now dripping down the steel surface in a webbed pattern, drops beginning to splatter the pure, emerald grass below.  The arm felt heavy and weak as I tried to lift it, as if it did not belong to me, but that was only a wishful thought.  I gazed calmly at it, inspecting the intricate designs the flow of the substance had created, as if it were an abstract piece of artwork. Tentatively, a pink tongue rolled out and caught a small droplet of it just before it fell from the sharp edge, just to convince myself that it was real.  The semi-sweet, metallic taste confirmed this.  I had indeed taken these men’s lives, just as I had taken hers.

So I remember this was written from the POV of a Scyther who seemingly went on a murderous rampage.  I only know that I wanted to give him an “Edward Scissorhands”-like story, since the idea of having such sharp objects attached to one’s limbs so that one could never directly “touch” another without being a danger is pretty tragic.  I suspect “her” was someone (a human?) he cared about but killed by accident, and after that he was only seen as a symbol of power/treated as a tool to incite fear before eventually rebelling against his “master”... Roses

“If you love someone, you should give them something that’s yours. That shows how much you care for them.” In the darkness, I pictured his smiling face, explaining to me as he wrapped a present for his girlfriend. His blue eyes were shining with a sort of spirit unfamiliar to me; I guessed, a feeling of love.

Another “dark” take on a Pokémon’s biology (I really liked writing explorations of those back then lol), this time of Roselia.  The idea was that a Roselia was so in love with her trainer that she would do anything for him - including allow him to cut off her arms so he could give them to his girlfriend.  I actually ended up turning it into a poem at one point:

Love is like a rose they say, And affection leads to grief they warned. For in the end love betrays, Its Beauty maimed by a poisoned thorn. You gave me pure water with a smile. Your cheerful face became my sun. I offered up my blood to you, And in return demanded none. Chop off my wrists, and tie them together. I’ll gladly bleed myself to death. In order to give you that which I hold most dear. My dear, my dear, Won’t you accept this bouquet? You take it, smiling warily. A blush creeps onto your face. And in those eyes I can see A garden of roses stretched out, Composing a wondrous place. Then you bound my hands in lace, And brought them to the girl next door. You presented them to her with grace. … My blood continued to pour.

Fanfic

She smiled at me, although something about her expression indicated something wasn't quite right.  I watched as she glanced over towards the west, her gaze lingering momentarily on the setting sun.  The glowing, orange sphere was slowly sinking behind the distant mountains, peaks cloaked in a pale, lavender haze illuminated by flickering beams of gold and scarlet cast across the horizon.

More accurately, I found this buried in a “catch-all” file where I had several (mostly finished) fics saved.  This was meant to be from the POV of an Eevee who had just evolved - supposedly into an Espeon due to happiness and bond with her trainer, which is what both wanted.  However, since it took place at sunset, she didn’t realize she had become an Umbreon instead, and her trainer ended up abandoning her for it. ;( It was a warm

Children’s shrieks and laughter echoed across the park as they flocked towards each other, and soon were chasing one another round the playground, weaving in and out between the swings as they partook in an innocent game of Tag.  One child was It; she was trying desperately to catch one of her friends so that they would take over the job instead.  Then it would be her turn to run away, for none of them wished to play the loathsome role of It.  Or was it because they feared being tainted by the person’s touch?  It must have been one of the two, for while she would struggle to reach them, catch hold of them, they would only flee, thoroughly enjoying the fact that they were vexing her.  Twice she nearly caught one.  Her fingertips were almost within reach of one of the other girls’ dresses, whose russet tresses were flowing wildly from the rush of movement and shining with golden highlights as the rays of the sun struck individual strands.  The target shrieked and shook her head, whisking her skirt free in time to escape capture, laughing with glee at the sight of the girl left behind, miserable and alone. 

Yeah I totally just went with the default beginning of the first sentence lol.  I guess this comes full circle with the first Kagepro fic I mentioned (although I’m not even sure I was aware back then that the Japanese version of the game literally called “It” a “demon”, which is even more fitting).  I believe this was part of a Pokémon series I was writing involving a creepy little girl and Mewtwo who would bring about the end of the world or something like that, but generally I guess I was just going for a “Catcher in the Rye” feel. *shrug* Golden Lights

The pale, rosy fingers of dawn were filtering in through the Granite Cave entrance, basking a small area near the opening in pinkish illumination.  Just out of reach of its expanse sat little Mika, huddled in the gloom of the shadows, watching the light creep steadily towards her as the glowing ball of fire rose slowly towards the East.  She knew about the Light that came from Outside.  There were plenty other small apertures broken into the cavern walls and ceiling that allowed some thin streams of gold brilliance to trickle through.  She had always done well to avoid them.  The brightness was like poison to her skin.  But they weren’t the Lights she’d had described to her by the old Crobat that always resided now deeper within the underground chambers, dozing now, most likely.  He wouldn’t awaken until night came round, and she did not wish to rouse him and perhaps disturb him from a pleasant dream.  She was very wise about things like that, being the young child that she was.  Still, she would have liked to hear a story to comfort her just then.

Last one I could find, about a Sableye who, like Icarus, literally “flew too close to the sun”.  In this interpretation I imagined that Sableye were creatures who could not stand sunlight at all, as it would cause their skin to burn.  But Mika (pronounced like “Mica”) always dreamed of going outside to see the “Light” anyway.  She was eventually tempted by Mew to leave the cavern under her angelic PROTECTion and step into the Light, who was acting as Ho-Oh’s messenger to “recruit” souls to “live eternal as an element of Ho-Oh’s Guarding Flame“, as the PROTECT faded and a “holy fire” began to spread.  I guess I was going for a Biblical/”Rapture”-esque reference.  (...Man I sure was obsessed with the endtimes as a kid. *shot*)

Masterlist | Series Masterpost

A/N: Finally. I’m sorry it took so long. Lmao, I’m the worst. More writing yet to come! Also, why on EARTH did they delete line breaks? I’m mad.

Feedback is always appreciated. Enjoy! xx

“Dear Sam,

I’m writing this to tell you I’m fine. School is doing great and Bailey and Sarah stay the same. More partying than studying, as usual, I’m afraid.

I haven’t talked to Amelia since I left home. Since I left you. And that was 8 months ago.

I hope she’s doing well. I still don’t have the courage to ask her myself.

I miss you. 

I’d be lying if I said I don’t. Hell, lying if I didn’t say anything. But that’s life. It’s a constant give and take until you can’t keep giving. And I gave my everything to you. 

Now, I don’t want you to feel sorry. I still care for you enough to tell you it’s okay. What happened was a series of unfortunate events that my heart couldn’t take, though it thought it was correct to feel like that. To feel that, actually.

These past few months I’ve learned that love isn’t something you get. It’s something you earn with work, tears, and sweat. And I believed that if I wished hard enough, I would get you to love me like I loved you. 

Turns out, it was more complicated than that.

You did love me. Maybe you still do. But not in the way I want to. Not in the way I needed you to. 

You can take this as a goodbye or as a “see you when life finds us together again”. But, still, no matter what, you should know that I’m okay here and that you’ll always have a special place in my heart. No matter what.

Forever yours,

Y/N.”

You sign off and put the letter in the envelope, closing it. You grab it tightly in one hand, as you take Jordan’s with the other. 

“Something important?” He asks, pointing to the envelope.

“Just an old friend,” you reply, kissing him softly on the lips. 

You grab your coats and adventure into the wild New York City streets.

Hand in hand, you walk to the post office. Sam Winchester’s name can be read on the front of the envelope. You sigh out loud as you let it fall into the mail.

“You okay?” Jordan asks, squeezing your hand slightly. You smile. 

“Better than ever.”

Summary: After a break up with the love of your life, you move to New York City to pursue your dream of photography. There, you end up getting a text from an unknown number.

A/N: Aaaand that’s it! That’s the end of Right Person, Wrong Number. Thanks for sticking with it!

Series Masterlist

Bucky: good morning, beautiful

You click onto the text to see that Bucky had attached a selfie of him dressed for work, but his hair looking fairly messy.

You giggled and typed out a response:

You: good morning, handsome. something seems a bit off with your hair. :’D

Bucky: it’s not agreeing with me today. I think it’s mad that you weren’t there to fix it up and make it look all pretty.

You: literally all I do is drench your hair with gel and comb it back!

Bucky: I can’t seem to get it right :(

You: Well lucky for you, I’m right outside your door.

You pocket your phone and chuckle to yourself when you heard Bucky’s footsteps rush to the door and swing it open. You burst out laughing when you saw his messy hair, “Oh my God!”

He gave you a pouty face, “Doll, pleeeaaase help! I have a meeting today and I have an important meeting with Stark today and I can’t go looking like this!”

You entered his apartment, pecking his lips, “Don’t worry, Buck. I’m here to save the day! Oh, I also got you coffee.” you handed him the warm cup.

He groaned in delight, “Have I ever told you how much I adore you?”

“All the time, but not today.” you said with a teasing smirk.

He chuckled, “Well I absolutely adore you, Y/N L/N.”

“Back at ya, Barnes,” you gave him a wink and walked towards his bedroom, “Now let’s get that hair of yours to cooperate.”

You and Bucky now sat in his car cuddled up to each other as his driver drove through the morning traffic. Bucky pulled out his phone and looked at the date, smiling to himself, “Hey, do you know what day it is?”

“Tuesday?” 

He poked your side making you squeal and he laughed, “No, doll. Exactly a year ago, you texted me thinking I was Brock Rumlow.”

You looked at him with surprise, “No way! Is it really?”

“Yeah.” he opened his phone and scrolled for quite a while until he fell upon the very first text you sent him, “See?” he pointed at the date.

“Holy crap. It’s really been a year? That’s crazy.”

Bucky pocketed his phone and pulled you closer into his embrace, “Did you ever expect this happen after sending those texts?”

You snorted, “No! I don’t think anyone does!” you rested your head on his shoulder, “But I’m glad this is what came of it.”

He kissed your head, “Same here. I love you, doll.”

You smiled to yourself, “I love you too, Buck.”

Okay, I’ve gotta ask to my POC followers (and even if you don’t follow me if they’re interested in joining the discussion), especially if you know Damian Wayne, but having the insight of someone who doesn’t can also be interesting about this :

https://fandomshatepeopleofcolor.tumblr.com/post/156956412645/benditlikegumby-fandomshatepeopleofcolor

Because this kind of logic it’s ridiculous right ? I mean the hurtful part here is that Tim hasn’t acknowledged his growth and his change since he last tried to kill him right ? (Which even then, Tim didn’t really know about since he was away so he hasn’t had a lot of interactions with Damian and most of those had Damian insulting him right on his weak points, ps : Tim has been officially suicidal since before Damian appeared; so his wariness is fairly understandable). If we went with their logic no POC could be accountable for their actions rigth ? Like acknowledging that someone has a family of homicidal people and being a jerk about it doesn’t mean racism, especially if you were a victim of said family on several occasions, I mean it makes Tim an awful jerk but not a racist one.

Or am I completely in the wrong (I have a hard time thinking I am because they seem to have troll logic but I still could so…)

Sorry I’m trying to understand but all I see is that troll logic….

Right Person, Wrong Number: Part 9

Fandom: Marvel (Wrong Number AU)

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: After a break up with the love of your life, you move to New York City to pursue your dream of photography. There, you end up getting a text from an unknown number.

A/N: one more chapter after this!

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8

You stared wide eyed at James Barnes, co-CEO of SHIELD Corp. was Bucky. Your Bucky. 

“Uuuuuuhhhhh..I’m gonna..heh..BYE!” you handed the closest person to you your camera and you rushed off the shoot floor and to the bathroom.

“Y/N! Wait!” You heard Bucky call out to you. But you ignored him as you pushed the bathroom door open with your body and launched yourself into an empty stall. 

Bucky came in moments later, “Y/N, come out. Please?”

Your brain was going haywire. How could he be here right now?! Did he know you were you the entire time?! “Who the fuck are you?!” you exclamation echoed off the bathroom walls.

“I’m Bucky! Your Bucky!”

“Your name is James Barnes!”

“My middle name is Buchanan. Bucky for short!”

You leaned against the cool grey wall of the stall, “How long have you known it was me?”

“Not long. I swear. When you told me your name when we got here, I thought it was a coincidence. But then I called you on your phone and...I knew.”

You groaned from the other side of the stall’s door, “This is insane! How could we be here right now? It wasn’t supposed to go like this!”

“How’d you think it was supposed to go?” Bucky asked curiously.

“I don’t know. We met up at some restaurant. I’d be there half an hour early because of my nerves. I’d be sitting at a table with my back to you. I’d feel a tap on my shoulder and you muttering my name.”

The door creaked as Bucky leaned his shoulder against it, “Sounds romantic,” he mumbles.

You lean against the door as well, letting out a sigh, “Yeah. But now it’s all wrong.”

“Then why don’t we make it right? Come out here so I can look at you, really look at you.”

You were nervous just like when he asked if you two could meet, “I-I don’t know, Bucky.” you stepped back, playing with the hem of your shirt.

Bucky then rested his forehead against the door, “I just wanna face the girl that made me fall for her with just her words,” he mumbled.

The confession making your heart race even more, “You fell for me?”

“Yeah,” he muttered, “Hard.”

“You must understand why I’m apprehensive, Bucky. I’m not very confident about myself.”

You heard him sigh, “I assure you, sweetheart, that when I saw you, I thought no ill thoughts. But just know this: I’m willing to wait out here forever.” he said the last statement with amusement. Your giggle echoed and reached his ears, causing him to smile.

“O-Okay. Just-Just gimme a moment here.”

He nodded, “Alright.” he stepped back and leaned against the sink counter, eyes fixed on the stall door, waiting for it to open. 

Behind it, you gave deep breaths and a mental pep talk. It’s gonna be alright. He’s already seen you. He likes you. He likes you. He likes you. He-

“Y/N?” Bucky asked with a concern tone, “I realize that I’m pushing you to do something you’re not comfortable with and I’m sorry. I’ll just lea-”

“No!” you paused and gave a deep breath as you unlocked the door and pulled it open. There in front of you stood the man you’ve been texting for a while now. There was Bucky, “Hi,” you said nervously.

He smiled wide at you, “Hi.” he walked forward and was just a foot away from you, “Is it okay if I hug you?” he asked worriedly. You gave him an nod and he immediately pulled you into his arms, “It’s so nice to finally meet you.”

You smiled into his chest as you hugged him back, “Yeah. Same here.” your worries were far gone now. You were so thankful that Bucky, literally, welcomed you with open arms. 

When you walked out of the bathroom, Bucky right behind you, you were a lot more relaxed and back to how you were before you met Bucky. You looked ahead to see Wanda and Sam waiting for you two. 

You gave them both a sheepish smile, “Hey guys.”

Sam nodded, “So you’re the girl he’s been texting?”

“And you’re guy she’s been texting?” Wanda asked.

“Yeah. Crazy right? We didn’t expect to meet each other like this.” you said nervously but also happily.

Sam threw his arms into the air, “Well thank the Lord for this! You don’t even know how tired I am of hearing ‘I wish I could meet Y/N’, ‘I wonder what Y/N’s doing’, “I bet she’s lookin’ real cute right now’. Blah blah blah! It’s sickening!”

You laughed and Bucky rolled his eyes, “I don’t sound like that.”

Sam scoffed and went over to pat his friend on the shoulder, “Yeah, you do man. Anyway, we’re all done and ready to go. Oh, Y/N, I spoke to your boss and asked if we, and by we I mean Bucky, can take you out for some lunch. So get your stuff and let’s get outta here!”

You gave a look of surprise, “Oh, uh, okay? Wan-”

“I gotcha covered, Y/N. Go be with your man!”

You waved her off, “He’s not my man.”

“Not yet,” Sam said playfully as he waltzed off to the elevators. 

Bucky stood closer to you and rubbed the back of his neck nervously, “Sorry ‘bout him. He’s such a pain sometimes. But, uh, I gotta change back into my clothes and, well, maybe if you really want, we could-”

“I’d love to have lunch with you, Bucky.” you said confidently.

“Alright. Cool. Great. I’ll-I’ll just get dressed and we’ll go!” He smiled at you before walking back to the dressing area. 

Once you were sure he couldn’t hear you, you and Wanda were jumping and squealing out of pure joy.

Right Person, Wrong Number: Part 10

Fandom: Marvel (Wrong Number AU)

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: After a break up with the love of your life, you move to New York City to pursue your dream of photography. There, you end up getting a text from an unknown number.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9

Bucky took you to his preferred pizza place, Rita’s. Rita herself greeted Bucky with a smile and kisses on his cheek, “Mama Rita, this is Y/N. Y/N meet Mama Rita.” the older Italian woman immediately engulfed her in your arms and pressed two kisses on each cheek. 

Bucky then ordered his usual and guided you to a table, “Sorry ‘bout her.”

You shook your head laughing, “No, it was fine! She’s lovely. Just unexpected is all.”

He nodded, twiddling his thumbs, “So, uh, I honestly don’t know what to say. I mean, we’ve been talking for some time now and I like to think I know a lot about you, it’s just-”

“It’s weird, right? Seeing each other in person like this?”

He agreed, “Yeah, but it’s thrilling? If that makes sense, I mean, you’re...so beautiful.”

You hid behind your hands, your cheeks heating up, “Uuugghh!”

Bucky’s face crinkled as he laughed, “Aw, c’mon, doll. Lemme see that beautiful face,” he took your hand, pulling it away. You looked at him all cute and shy, “There’s my girl,” he murmured.

“You’re so charming, it makes me mad!” you say teasingly.

He laughed, “Why?”

“You’re handsome, funny, and charming. It’s unfair!”

“You think I’m handsome, huh?” he asks teasingly leaning towards you across the table. 

You push him back, “You’re alright, I guess.” you tried to keep a straight face, but you failed. You ended up bursting into a giggle fit, unknowingly making Bucky’s heart soar. 

You two had spent hours at Rita’s, not that she minded. You didn’t even realize how late it was until Wanda texted you saying she was leaving work now.

“I didn’t go back to work!” you say in shock, “Why didn’t anyone call me?”

“Sam probably charmed your boss into lettin’ ya have the rest of the day off.”

“He’s a sneaky one, that Sam.”

“Don’t I know it, doll.” you two then fell into a comfortable silence. You stared at each other, taking in the sights before you. Bucky leaned forward, grabbing your hand and holding it in his, “I really enjoyed today and I really, really like you, Y/N. Think we can do this again?”

You nodded, “Is tomorrow night too soon?”

He chuckled, “I was thinking more of tomorrow morning, but that sounds good to me.”

“Tomorrow morning? Really, Bucky? I’m sure you’d get tired of me by then.”

He squeezed your hand, “I don’t think I will, Y/N.”

Moments later, Bucky paid and you two headed out to the cool night of New York. The city lit up and the honking of cars in traffic filled the air. Bucky grabbed your hand again, you happily accepting the warmth of his skin against yours, and you two walked towards the metro station.

As your hands swung between the both of you, Bucky spoke up, “So, do you see this really happening? Me and you?”

“Do you? I mean, I’m not some rich model or owner of a big company. I’m just some girl who loves photography and-”

“That’s just it. I don’t want you to be a model or owner of a big company, Y/N. I just want you.” 

The sound of genuinity in his voice made your insides melt. How is it possible for someone to be this perfect? “I really like you, Bucky, and I would like nothing more than to see where this relationship takes us.”

He let out a breath of relief, “Good. I mean, great! That’s-That’s great!” his fumbling made you laugh and his entire body relaxed. He loved hearing you laugh. To him, it was the equivalent to angels singing.

At some point, you stopped walking and that’s when Bucky realized you had reached the subway station. His body then sagged dejectedly, he really didn’t want this day to end. He was enjoying being in your presence, hearing your voice, and most of all, rolling his eyes to your silly and sarcastic comments. 

You noticed the sudden imaginary cloud form over Bucky’s head. You gently set your hand on his cheek, “Hey, don’t get all sad on me now. We got a second date tomorrow morning.”

Bucky tried to hide his smirk, “I thought you said tomorrow night?”

You shrugged, “I changed my mind. I really wanna see you again and as soon as possible.” you found yourself leaning up against Bucky, your hands resting on his chest.

Oh so naturally, his arms circled around you. This felt right, standing here in Bucky’s arms, looking into his beautiful blue eyes. This is what you’ve been missing out on for months and now you have it. You can’t imagine going on without this feeling. 

You tiptoed and Bucky leaned down so you could peck his cheek. A big smile made its way to his lips. You looked each other in the eyes again, and you both leaned in for a kiss. You’ve kissed people before but this? This was different. You could feel the connection between you two. The spark that you two had grew bigger, forming a flame, a red hot fire.

You pulled away before it became too much, “Woah.”

“I’ll say,” Bucky says with a smirk.

You cleared your throat, “I, uh, I should go now.” You began to descend the stairs, but Bucky spoke up.

“You know,” you turned around, “I could, uh, give you a ride home?”

Wanting to spend time with him just a little more before the day ended, you immediately nodded and ran back up to him. Your fingers automatically intertwining with his.
