So, this is my submission to the wonderful @sgtjbuccky‘s End of Year writing challenge. Thank you for hosting this, and giving us the opportunity to participate! 🙂
The pairing turned out as 40!Stucky this time, but Steve is not smoll anymore, because it takes place during the war.
There are some warnings but not too much, just some angst, fluff, kissing, near to death experience (kind of), almost too late confessions, WWII, and Steve very obviously being in love with Bucky.
Word count: 2.5K
A/N: So, I wanted to write this as a Bucky x Reader kind of or straight into smut story, but it have never really worked out. That’s why I decided on Stucky, because I am a trash for those two together, and because I kind of wanted to try writing some angst? It’s not very deep or hardcore angst tho, and it almost turned into smut, but I could resist this time.
I am horrible at giving titles, and sorry for my grammar.
There was
yelling and continuous gunshots. Wounded and dead everywhere. The smell of
burned flesh and smoke filled the air.
Steve took
a second to think about the process and the decisions he made which took him
into this place. The place where he was so eager to get and where Bucky was
obliged to go. They become soldiers, got to the war but neither of them had any
idea of how it would be, how horrible it really was, how many friends they
would see die or get captured. How many villages will be burnt by the time they
get there, how many men, women and children would suffer, cry for help and beg
them to help. It was hard to imagine, even harder to process.
He had a
second before breaking out of his hiding place to look at Bucky. He was
focused, his back against the thick wood, holding his gun ready to shoot.
He
shouldn’t have been here.
No, Bucky
should have been in Brooklyn, charming girls and dream about his future, not
here in the god damn war, fighting next to him, risking his life.
He was more
worried about his friend than for himself. If anything have happened to Bucky…
He shook his head. He could have never forgive himself, he never thought about
living longer than Bucky, not with all the sickness and health conditions he
had. But now? Now he had a big chance that I might happen.
Goodness these lil’ fuckers truly have all of my heart, and they’re just impossible, aren’t they? following each other no matter where it is even if it’s the jaws of death disguised in a war!! I was so happy to see you wanted to write this as Stucky, and I absolutely love how you went about it. Steve’s concern for Bucky, simply just wanting to be close to him to make absolutely sure nothing happens to him, I love it. Cause it’s always been Bucky who looked out for Steve, but now the blond is returning the favor and he simply cannot let anything happen to him! I was really afraid they would’ve stepped on a trap that would end in an explosion or something, but then it was a deadly gas instead, and fuck I was so scared thinking if they’d make it out or not!! Steve’s first thought being Bucky when he woke up had my heart soaring, cause even if he too, was hurt, he focused on Bucky first and goodness, I just love these two okay.
Of course, Bucky would tell Steve to go spend his last minutes with Peggy cause he’s a selfless little dumbass, and of course Steve isn’t going anywhere, cause even if he loves Peggy, he fucking loves James Buchanan Barnes even more and my heart is soaring alright! I love that Steve was the one to confess his feelings first, and Bucky’s confession came after they got to know that they weren’t dying anyway!! Such a sweet sweet piece of writing, I adored the way you went about the prompt and thank you so much for wanting to participate in the challenge!!!! ❤ ❤
Thank you so much! I am so happy you liked it! I am also very happy I decided to write it as Stucky, because I just love it a lot more this way, I love to discover their love for each other, because it is soo pure and I am dead for them.
