Summary: Prompts "I think your perfect. Even with all your flaws, you're nothing but perfect." "I will not apologize for surviving. I lived. O always lived. And I did my fucking best to keep everyone else alive to."
"Where's everyone?" Bucky asked as he entered the main living area of the Avengers compound. There were a decent amount of people missing.
"Don't know Buck." Steve answered with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Pepper said something about the press." Same spoke from his spot at the breakfast bar, eating a sandwich.
"The press has been after Nat and Y/n for months but last night they called an emergency meeting for the two." Bruce explained to the confused group. Nat had to leave in the middle of the night to talk so he seemed to be the only one who knew so far.
Before anyone could say anything else Pepper Pots emerged from the elevator.
"Pep?" Steve said as a question, noticing Pepper took notice of the conversation. Hoping she could give them more.
Pepper sighed before comfiring. "He's right. It was a private meeting between Tony, Nat, Y/n and myself."
"What happened?" Bucky asked concerned about his new family and the girl he has a crush on.
"The press went public with something about Y/n's past that were very private and very cruel. I don't think she slept at all last night." Pepper told them, further explaining the situation.
"Fucking bastards." Sam scoffed in digust at the lengths the noisy pricks would go to.
"Langue." Steve mumbled out not wanting anyone but Sam to hear him and get teased again. He still hasn't lived down the last time.
"Tony says their back." Pepper stated looking up from her phone at their friends as they entered the room, exiting the elevator. "How's it go?"
"The press just gets worse with time." Natasha stated shaking her head angrily.
Tony sighed, walking over to the fridge and grabbing a drink before standing next to Pepper. "We cleared the air and everything is fine now publicly, but some things said during the press conference to Y/n/n. They were-"
"Uncalled for. Rude. Disrespectful. I could go on." Nat interrupted, fuming with anger.
"You okay?" Sam asked, looking concerned towards his Y/h/c-ed friend.
"There was this one asshole who wanted me to apologize..." Y/n shook her head shrugging her shoulders up. Letting out a deep breath, before looking at everyone and continuing. "I will not apologize for surviving. I lived. I always live. And I did my fucking best to keep eveyron eelse alive to."
Y/n hated how just hearing what the reporter had said made her feel. Hearing her past, about the people she couldn't save. She was trying not to let it show but she didn't know how much longer she could hold it together.
"You shouldn't and you don't." Pepper stated firmly.
"Don't worry, I'll have him fired in a matter of minutes." Tony stated with a proud dark smirk. He was protective of Y/n, very protective. That asshole was not keeping his job.
"Thanks Tony." Y/n smiled at the billionaire, finding it a little funny but also appreciating it. "I'm gonna go take a nap, I'm too exhausted from everything."
She sent a wave and a small smile before heading down the hall to her room. Leaving everyone to their own devices. But Bucky watched her go and kept his eyes on the hallway for a while after. He knew she wasn't as fine as she was showing. Because he knows her.
So after a while of giving her space Bucky headed towards her room, not wanting her to be alone for to long knowing how she was probably feeling. So he waited about 15 minutes before knocking on her bedroom door.
"Hey, doll." Bucky spoke once she opened the door.
"Bucky." Y/n smiled at him but it didn't reach her eyes.
"I just wanted to say." he shifted on his feet nervously. Bucky had had a crush on her for awhile, and everyone was pretty sure that Y/n felt the same way. But right now he was concerned about how she was feeling emotionally. Bucky knew what she needed to hear right now. "I think your perfect. Even with all your flaws, you're nothing but perfect."
Y/n's smile grew, not much but enough for Bucky to know she appreciated his statement. "Thank you Bucky." She responded blushing.
"Your welcome, Doll." Bucky replied with a soft smile and tinted cheeks from blushing also.
"You want to come in and watch some movies? I really need a nap but I don't want to be alone right now. I could put on a movie." Y/n offered softly, having a crush on him and not knowing exactly if he felt the same she was nervous he'd reject her offer.
"Sure. Of course Y/n/n." Bucky smiled softly. Once Y/n opened the door wider, letting Bucky enter. Once he took off his shoes the two Avengers with horrible pasts got cozy in her bed. Y/n turned on a movie, it didn't take long for her to fall asleep with the comfort of Bucky's presence.
