I am the poison in your veins.

Aw, I'm glad you liked it so much, it was also my life for a while 😭 Part 2 will come along next year, probably around May if I don't get into another project before then (: I wish I could dedicate more time to it, but unfortunately life gets in the way -_- I'll write some other one-shots in the meantime to help people cope with the wait ✊😔

Pairing: Firefighter!Bucky x Fem!Plus Size!Adopted Rogers!Reader

WC: 55k (Complete)

Summary: Bucky Barnes. The boy next door. Your brother’s best friend. The guy you’ve been in love with for as long as you can remember. Unrequited, that is, seeing that he only thinks of you as a sister (at least, that’s what you always thought). It’s been about a decade since you’ve returned home and reunited with the boy - now man - with stunning blue eyes and a smile that still puts a million butterflies in your stomach. You never expected to come back, thinking that you’d spend the rest of your life as a famous artist in Los Angeles with your boyfriend/manager. But things change, life gets messy, and now you’re back in your childhood bedroom living with your mom and working at the townie bar to make ends meet while you try to figure out what the hell to do next. The one thing that hasn’t changed? Bucky Barnes is still the boy next door, and there’s no running from him this time.

Warnings: ANGST (hello I’m back lol), body image issues, negative self-talk, emotionally abusive relationship, minor mentions of parental abuse, mentions of death, mentions of alcohol/drinking, very very veryyy minor hints of eating disorder/diet culture, protective Bucky unleashing his wrath toward people who upset Reader.

No pressure at all, but if you'd like to support me for my writing, please consider buying me a Kofi!
