Bucky Barnes- Dead (h)

One Word Prompt- 32. Dead

You dropped your head into your hands after hanging up the call from your Mum.

He was so happy, whenever you managed to get in contact with to him he was his usual cheery self despite being where he was; he was supposed to be coming to see you but now that wouldn't happen.

Now you wouldn't get to see him after 2 years of being away from you, he would never get to meet your boyfriend in person, he would never come home.

You heard the front door open and then close "Doll, I'm back" Bucky's voice echoed throughout the apartment that the two of you shared.

You didn't respond to him "Doll?" you heard him again. Bucky dropped his jacket at the door of the living room however you didn't decide to turn around.

You felt the sofa dip next to you as Bucky wrapped his metal arm around you shoulder pulling you into his side. He used his other arms to pull your hands away from your face and his smiling face immediately dropped when he saw the tears rolling down your cheeks.

He wiped the tears away tenderly "What happened Y/N?" he asked tilting your head up so that you looked him in the eyes "My Mum" you hiccupped in between words because of the tears "Called me" you finished but you soon trailed off because you began crying all over again.

Bucky kissed the top of your head "What did she say?" he asked in a soft voice "Ben passed away" you said quietly, not wanting to admit it to yourself "Oh Doll" he pulled you into him "How?" he asked almost as if he wasn't sure whether or not to ask the question "He got shot. He pushed Lucas out of the way, he saved Lucas' life but took his own" you sighed as you explained what happened.

You grabbed a frame from the coffee table, you always had it there as a reminder that you would see your brother soon but now it's a reminder of what an amazing guy he was.

Your brother had been deployed to Iraq 2 years ago and you were so proud of him because he went to protect his country. You knew there was a risk of him going out there and not coming back but you never thought it would happen.

The frame had a picture of you and your brother the day he got deployed; the two of you were standing in front of the plane that all the soldiers were being flown out on.

Ben was dressed in his camo whilst you were wearing his hat, Ben had his arm around your shoulder and you had your arm around his waist as the two of you smiled at the camera that your Mum was holding.

Lucas was Ben's partner, the two of them were deployed at the same time and over the course of being out there they became best friends. It didn't surprise you that Ben died like that, he would do anything to save someone close to him.

That was the type of guy he was, he always put other people before himself because he felt like if he saved someone then that's a family that still had their son, daughter, brother, sister. However, right now I had lost a brother and my Mum had lost a son.

You knew that you would see Lucas again; your Mum told you that Lucas was going to give you Ben's dog tags when he came back which made you feel slightly less dishevelled as that way you would have a part of your brother with you, that way you could tell your future children what a brave, selfless and heart warming Uncle they had.

"He's dead Buck" you traced Ben's smiling face with your finger "I can't believe he is gone"
