"Daisy?" Bucky puts a hand on your shoulder to try and get your attention, you hadn't even blinked. Just stood there in fear, watching Steve's reaction to you just accidentally confessing your love for him. Steve also never said a word. His mouth was open in shock and he was panting slightly.

You take a big gulp and turn back to Bucky, clapping your hands sarcastically as the tears pour down your face.

"Very well done Bucky, congratulations"

"What? Daisy no this wasn't..."

"You guys are fucking cruel you know that?"

Bucky looks to Steve for help but Steve says nothing. In this moment he was cowardly and Bucky resented him for that. Knowing damn well that none of this was Bucky's fault but not speaking up to say so.

"Daisy, please, I'm a jackass, and I know that, I do, but none of this has been a trick. Steve was going to confess feelings for you last night. I swear, wasn't you Steve?"

Bucky raises his eyebrows at Steve and Daisy turns back around to face Steve but he's looking down at the floor, like a scared little mouse.

Bucky scoffs and shakes his head in disappointment to Steve.

Daisy goes to walk away but Bucky grips her, remembering what her father is doing outside.

"Daisy you don't want to go out there..." Bucky looked more worried now, you could the lines forming on his forehead from frowning lightly and his lips were perched together with sadness.

You pry yourself from his grip and run past Steve to the window. Your heart sinks. Everything you owned was thrown outside. Every pair of underwear, every item of clothing, jewellery, books, journals. Everything you held dear, just thrown out like you were nothing. You fell to your knees and sobbed. You couldn't hold it in anymore. Your whole world had just crashed around you.

You let out a scream. It scratched through your throat making it sore. Bucky immediately pushes Steve out the way who is just stood there watching helplessly. Bucky holds you on the floor, arms wrapped around you as you rock back and forth. He whispers a soft 'shhhhh' in your ear simultaneously as he strokes your hair until your breathing slows and you manage to calm yourself.

Bucky continues to hold you until you're still, until the shaking his stopped and the tears have dried. Steve still not moving a muscle. He didn't know what to say or what to do. He was watching Bucky comforting you and he knew deep down it should have been him. He knew it should have been him stroking your smooth chocolate brown hair and making you feel better. So why wasn't it? Why couldn't he do anything? Why was this so difficult for him.

"I'm sorry Bucky.." You cry out as you press your face into his shoulder. In that moment Daisy's anger towards Bucky was gone. He was there. Helping her, regardless of everything she just said to him, regardless of there past and regardless of anything else. He was just trying, and that was enough to forget...for now.

"Don't apologise" Bucky holds you tighter.

"What am I going to go?" Your bottom lip wobbles and your voice cracks. Staining Bucky's shirt with your thick and hot tears which can't help but return.

"You can stay with me" Bucky replies back without hesitation. In the most gentle voice possible. This got Steve's attention. Steve had never once been jealous of Bucky. Not once. No matter how many women Bucky had, no matter how much taller he was, stronger he was, nothing made Steve tick, apart from this.

"She is not staying with you!" Steve shouts out before flinging a hand over his mouth in shock. Did he really just blurt that out? Yes. Yes he did.

You pull away from Bucky and look up at him. His focus was now on Steve but he was still holding you close. His eyes had narrowed and his jaw was clenched.

Bucky looks at you a brief moment and wipes your tears with his thumbs before standing up. He walks over to Steve with his feet stomping heavily. He pushes Steve into a wall and you can hear the thud as his small body hits the brick.

"What the fuck is your problem Steve? I'm just trying to help her!"

"But it's you Buck!" Steve croaks out. Regretting it as soon as he said it.

Bucky takes a deep breath. He knew what Steve was trying to imply, Bucky had no intention of doing anything romantic with Daisy and he felt sick that Steve would insinuate that idea. He might be a bit of a womaniser but Daisy has been and always will be off limits. Considering Bucky knew how Steve felt.

"You really think I'd do something like that?" Bucky can't help but chuckle slightly through the pain he had felt from Steve's words. Bucky shakes his head and clenches his fists.

"I thought you knew me Steve. You should know I would NEVER do anything like that to you. It's not my fault you're too fucking cowardly to admit your feelings, but I'll be dammed to let her go through this alone. I don't know where the Steve Rogers we know and love is but he better come back soon"

Bucky walks away from Steve and walks back towards you.

"Ready to go?" You nod.

"Daisy wait..." Steve's voice calls out shakily.

You look up at Bucky and then back to Steve. You gather all your night to look him in the eyes. You reach your arms around your neck, unclasping your Daisy chain. You take it in your hand and hold it out to Steve. Steve looks at you in disbelief.

After a moment you rip Steve's arm and place the necklace in his hand.

"I hope Peggy was worth it" You look at him coldly but Steve just stares at the silver chain in his hand as you turn and walk away with Bucky. Eight years you had worn that necklace, everyday for eight fucking years, it was like carrying a piece of Steve with you, no matter where you were or how you were feeling, he was with you in that delicate but beautiful chain. And now you'd removed it, and with it, you removed Steve.
