Someone, or something, grabbed him by his collar and yanked him free just as he was about to get his face ripped. They emptied their round into its face. Its head exploded, and it slumped over, falling into the tall gold grass of the battlefield. Sam tore his eyes away from it and looked to his savior, who was holding him rather close to their body with their arm around his waist. Bucky smiled at him. He had a nastily looking scratch on his forehead that was dripping blood and dirt smeared through his beard, and he had never looked hotter. Sam told himself to stop thinking about that while in the middle of a life-or-death battle with creatures from another planet. “Hey, Wilson! Thought you could use some help,” Bucky said cheerfully.

Congressman Barnes

Rating - E

Excerpt:

Sam’s lips broke away from his briefly, enough to mutter, “You know, I hate to mess up your suit-”

“No, you don’t,” Bucky cut in, his lips stretched into a teasing grin.

“No, you’re right, I don’t,” Sam smirked, his heated gaze raking over Bucky’s dishevelled state. “You look damn good in it but even better out of it.”

E | 16.8k | gdv | tags: hurt/comfort; and i mean hurt; getting together; pining; kind of slow burn; healing and sex | summary:

A recurring nightmare materializes before his eyes. In most of his dreams, Bucky is a young man falling from a train and crashing into crisp snow, a heavy thud, then haunting silence. In the rest of those dreams, Sam plummets to earth, wingless, then breaks. He tells himself often that they’re only dreams, that Sam is capable and skilled far beyond any combat-abled civilian he’s ever known. He reminds himself each time Sam’s in a fight that the suit is more than sufficient protection, that every fiber of vibranium absorbs impact and directs it away from Sam. Away. That had been his first and foremost request to Ayo. Always away. But Sam’s not wearing vibranium today.

Written for the @sambuckylibrary SamBucky Summer Bingo On the Town Card - Square Fill: Pride.

Bucky Barnes had been many things in his long life. A son. A friend. A soldier. A hero. He stood now in front of the cameras and reporters a newly elected congressman. Part of the legacy that Bucky wanted to leave was for the people who had the time and energy to want to know him to really know him. He owed his next words to all of the people who looked up him; he owed the words to himself. Bucky braced himself, took a deep breath, and then said the words he needed to say. 

“I just wanted to start by thanking you all for being here. I know what I have to say isn’t the most important thing for people to hear, but it’s important to me, and I just wanted to put it out there before I step into this elected leadership role.”

The sound of cameras clicking surrounded Bucky as he cleared his throat and stared directly into the main video camera that was focused on him. 

“Where we find ourselves is, for want of a better word, tumultuous. We are in a place where the future historians will question us and what we’re doing to uphold the human rights of our people that many take for granted.”

Bucky calmed himself and continued to speak. 

“There’s a lot of work to be done, by leaders and those who claim to support everyday people. Either we change the systems that have held people back and held people down, or we stand by and watch. Either we hold those accountable for the atrocities they enact, or we wholeheartedly welcome fascism to this land. And I’ve seen fascism at its worst. What it can do. How it takes people’s sense of humanity and replaces it with complacence. I don’t want to be complacent in the face of oppression. I don’t want to be complicit in oppressing others. I want to stand for the truth. That’s the way that I want to push back.”

Bucky took another steadying breath.

 “If I don’t do much of anything, then I want to stand in my own truth.”

He breathed deeply once more and stared down the lens. 

“My name is James Bucky Barnes, and I am a gay man. And I’ve learned that in this day and age, it’s so important for people who have the capacity and support to be themselves to stand up and be counted. To everyone else, I’m here for you and I’ll fight for you. I’ll answer a few questions now. Thank you.”

Bucky was sweating in his suit. His heart was thrumming against his chest. But he believed in his own convictions. He was happy to stand there on international television and tell the whole world an important part of who he was. 

“Happy Pride,” said one reporter whom he gestured to. “Congressman Barnes, thanks for being so candid with us. We wish you all the best. My question is: Will you be joining Captain America at Capital Pride this year?”

“Thank you for the well wishes,” said Bucky with a genuine smile. “Sam took me to Capital Pride a little while ago when World Pride was hosted in DC. It was an amazing experience. My first time attending an event like that. It was really great to see everyone out and about celebrating and having a good time. I had a great time. If Sam wanted to invite me along again, then I’d uh, I’d be more than happy to tag along. Next question?”

“Mr. Barnes, can you go on the record and confirm whether or not you and Sam Wilson are more than friends?”

Bucky felt his face flush warm, and his palm sweat. He figured people were going to be intrigued by his and Sam’s relationship seeing as they were inseparable. Seeing as they were both queer men who were in each other’s proximity most of the time.  They had asked Sam about it enough times. He took a discreet breath and answered. 

“Sam is an amazing man,” said Bucky with an earnestness that reverberated through the small space. “He’s my best friend. When I first decided that I was going to continue on this path of doing this work, Sam supported me. He supported me in ways I can’t even put into words. Sam Wilson is the friend I wish I had when I was a young man trying to figure out my own wants and needs; my own sexuality. And he’s been that person for me now in this time and space.”

Bucky wrung his hands together and said, “I love him. I love Sam. He’s my best friend. What we have is so, so special to me. Putting a name to it feels like it could never be enough. We’re friends, co-workers, colleagues; partners. And everything in between. I have nothing but love and respect for Sam Wilson.”

The amassed reporters all erupted into a furore of more questions. Bucky inched back, held his hands up, and said, “That’s all the time I have for now. Thank you all for your time.”

With that, he stepped away and was ushered into one of the private courtyards as his assistant relayed to the journalists that he was done. Bucky reached into his pocket and retrieved his cigarettes and a lighter. He lit one and took a deep draw. It helped to calm his nerves. He paced back and forth in the small space. He had done it. He had come out to his constituents and the world. He felt as if he might throw up or dissolve. His other pocket began to vibrate. Bucky took his phone out and saw Sam’s name on the screen. He snubbed out his cigarette and then answered. 

“Sam?”

“Hey, Buck,” said Sam’s rich voice. “You okay?”

Bucky ran his hand through his hair and let out a little laugh. 

“Yeah,” he supplied. “Yeah, I’m okay. Are you?”

“Always,” Sam replied, and Bucky could hear the smile in his tone. “So, you did that.”

Bucky had no words, he just let silence pervade between the two of them. Comforting and grounding.

“You did really well,” Sam added. “Handled it like a pro.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m proud of you,” Sam proffered. “I know how hard it is to bare your soul like that. You did an amazing job.”

“I thought of saying ‘homosexual’ instead of ‘gay’.”

“No, that was fine.”

“Oh, thank fuck,” Bucky said with a chuckle. “I didn’t want to say anything that might’ve offended folks.”

“Nah,” said Sam. “You were awesome.”

“Thank you,” said Bucky, feeling a sense of ease wash over him. “Thanks, Sam. I –” 

“You don’t have to say it,” said Sam. “I do gotta ask, though.”

“Oh, God,” said Bucky with a hand to his face and half a smile playing on his lips. “What?”

“Me and you?”

“Sam.”

“Nah, I just mean, Capital Pride.”

Bucky stifled a laugh and said, “What about it?”

“Well,” said Sam, sounding all kinds of cutesy. “The press wanted to know if you and I were going together.”

“Yeah?” said Bucky, unable to keep the smile from his face. 

“So, are we going?”

Silence floated around a beat as Bucky cleared his throat. 

“What, you mean like, together?”

“Yeah,” said Sam, sounding amused on the other end of the line. “Will you be joining me at Capital Pride this year?”

Bucky let out a small laugh and wiped his hand over his face. 

“You askin’ me out?”

“If you’re sayin’ ‘yes’, then hell yeah,” said Sam, confident as ever. “I’m asking you out.”

Bucky felt his tummy do numerous somersaults as a deep happiness wrapped him up in a warm embrace. 

“Well,” Bucky managed. “If you’re asking, then the answer is ‘yes’.”

He took a deep breath and said, “My answer to you is ‘yes’.”

Sam let out a rich, deep laugh and said, “Good. I’ll pick you up on the weekend.”

“It’s a date,” Bucky replied, giddy as all hell. 

“Yep,” said Sam, the smile evident in his intonation. “It’s a date.”

"You’re sleeping with me.” Sam shivered. “You’re not feeding.” Bucky’s thumb slid higher. “I would never touch you in a way you didn’t ask for.” That made Sam flush, and he snagged Bucky’s wrist before his fingers reached the curved scar across Sam’s throat.
