Your relationship with Bucky hasn’t been the same in the last year. You were distant, somehow cold. Since he had cancelled his therapy before it was officially over, things went downhill. You didn’t know if something happened, because he wouldn’t talk to you. Sometimes, days passed without you speaking a word to each other. And while you kind of got used to it, it still broke your heart every time. You thought about the beginning of your relationship, when everything was easier, when he showered you with affection. And now, he didn’t even really look at you anymore.

You spent your evenings alone. Sometimes, you went into a bar with friends. But tonight, you went alone, not exactly knowing why. But when the handsome stranger started to buy you drinks, made you compliments and looked at you like he saw you… he gave you everything you’ve longed for in Bucky for so long.

It was a mistake. You knew it the whole time, but you pushed your thoughts away. Bucky was on a mission and wouldn’t come back until tomorrow. You didn’t know how exactly it happened, but soon, the handsome stranger and you landed in your apartment, all over each other. Finally someone gave you attention and affection, even though it was the wrong one. Your mind was clouded from the amount of alcohol in your system, not able to think straight anymore. But it was no excuse for what you were doing and you knew that.

“What the fuck.” Bucky’s voice cut through the air, causing you to freeze. Your whole world shattered before you even turned your head to look at him. Seeing his expression, a mixture of shock, anger, hurt and disgust… You almost couldn’t handle it. He was standing in the doorway of your bedroom, still wearing the clothes from his mission. He was bruised and slightly dirty, not that it really mattered right now. You opened your mouth, wanting to explain the situation, but no words came out. You knew that there was nothing you could say to save this.
