And it cut me sharp hearing you'd gone away
Who| Peggy and Bucky Barnes (MCU)
What| Steve is dead. Someone needs to break the news to Bucky.
Where| D1
When| After Bucky comes back from the Arena
Warnings/Notes| Sadness and references to dead best friends and possibly past suicide.
Peggy hadn’t expected Steve to come back after he died in the arena. He had crossed the Capitol too many times. The fact that he wasn’t publicly shot in the street was surprising enough.
She’s used to pain and has prepared herself for it, so she coped with it okay enough. Maybe it’s even a relief, knowing that the man who looked so much like someone she loved is now gone to torment her no more. Even so, she knew one person who clearly hasn’t prepared himself for the pain. Maybe he never had the option to.
She should leave him alone. Allow someone else to break the news to him. Separate herself from him because any kind of interaction between them just left her more vulnerable and behaving more inappropriately.
Yet she might be able to understand what he’s about to go through more than anyone. Despite her best judgement, she finds herself going to the room of one James Buchanan Barnes after receiving word that he had returned from death. She hesitates in front of his door, tries to talk herself out of doing this, but knocks anyway. “Barnes? It’s Carter.”
