Bucky Barnes imagines

Someone Like You

2nd part to "Somebody That I Used to Know".

A/N: Here we go! I loved how many positive comments I got, so I decided to do a part 2! Just to note... the words italicized and bolded are lyrics, and the ones just italicized are flashbacks. Also, I skipped some parts of the lyrics, so bear with me. I didn't want to make it too confusing. :)

Oh, also, I envisioned the wedding dress to be like Bella's in Breaking Dawn.

Warnings: Angst x 1000, sad/regretful Bucky, etc.

The moment that Steve had left the apartment, slamming the door shut behind him, Bucky felt his chest begin to ache. A deep, dull pain that began to become more prominent the more Bucky focused on it.

He had to let her go. He couldn't keep burdening her with his past, and have her at risk every time that she stepped outside. He wanted to her safe, and in order to do that... Bucky needed to push her away.

As many times as his heart broke watching her eyes well up with tears in the midst of a fight that had no real meaning, Bucky did not make amends. He let her fall apart in front of him, as hard as it was to watch. He hoped every time that she would leave freely, that Y/N would not let him hurt her more than he already had. But she stayed, and Bucky just had to keep up the charade.

Eventually, Y/N had left, and he tried to convince himself that he was relieved. She was safe, no longer a risk for being kidnapped by HDYRA and no longer a burden to his past. But it all faded away to sadness, the pain that he felt for hurting her when all he wanted to do was love her.

The sadness only grew worse, when he heard from Sam that Y/N and Steve were getting married in the following month. His eyes began to water and the glass he had in his hand shattered in a matter of seconds. Sam asked from the other end of the line of the phone what had happened, but Bucky dismissed it as an accident, before making an excuse about having to go run some errands before hanging up.

His previous words to Steve rang in his mind clearly, as though they were spoken yesterday.

"You love her, don't you?" Bucky chuckled as he shook his head, but inside, he was terrified of what his answer would be.

"A hell of a lot more than you ever did, Bucky."

The words stung him, and anger built up in his chest. He walked into the kitchen and cleaned up the blood dripping down his face before turning and spatting, "Go get her then. You are welcome to have her. You obviously deserve her a hell of a lot more than I do. Don't make the same mistakes I did."

Bucky's mouth was dry and his heart empty as the words replayed in his head. Oh, how he wish he could take them back.

I heard, that you've settled down

That you found a boy and you're, married now

Bucky didn't even have to close his eyes to imagine the wedding. Y/N would look absolutely stunning, as she always did. Her dress hugged her curves deliciously, and flowed to the floor, a veil elegantly positioned on her head.

A smile lit up her face, her happiness reflecting in her eyes. It was the type of smile that made Bucky's heart skip a beat, his chest filling with warmth knowing that she was happy.

But he knew that smile was no longer for him.

I heard, that your dreams came true

I guess he gave you things

I didn't give to you

Y/N was happy now, a hell of a lot happier than she was in the two years that Bucky tried to convince her to leave him. She deserved someone who made her happy, and if that was Steve....
