Runaway Dog - Bucky Barnes
635 Words
"Fudge stop!" You shouted as you chased you brown Labrador through the park.
Your dog had managed to escape his lead when you talking to some old friends. You had spent the last half an hour chasing him around the huge park. You looked like a mad woman and to make matters worse no one had helped you.
Running out of breath you stopped and sat on a bench. You knew you would eventually catch him since he always ran off.
You were that out of breath you couldn't stop yourself from falling off the bench and landing on the soft grass.
"Are you okay?" You heard a voice say. You look up to see three men standing above you. You gasp when you notice who the three men are.
Captain America, Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." You say standing up and brushing the dirt off your behind.
"Are you sure, you look a little out of breath." Captain America said.
"I've been chasing my dog around for the past half an hour. He managed to get out of his lead." You said blushing slightly, it's not everyday you had three heroes standing in front of you.
"I'm Steve by the way, and this is Sam and Bucky." Steve says holding out his hand for me to shake.
"I know who you guys are. What you do is incredible." You say after you tell them your name. You couldn't help but notice how Bucky frowned as you said this.
"We can help you look for your dog if you want." Sam said smiling at you. You were still finding it weird seeing them in normal clothes, you had only ever seen them in their signature outfits.
"I couldn't possibly ask you to do that, you probably have better things to do than chase my dog around." You say looking a Bucky who was already looking at you.
"You're not asking, we're offering. Come on, me and Steve will take one side of the park you and Bucky will take the other." Sam said before pulling a confused looking Steve away from you and Bucky.
"So, erm, where did you last see him?" Bucky awkwardly asked rubbing the back of his neck.
"Here actually, he ran off in that direction." You say pointing in the direction Fudge ran.
"Let's get going then." Bucky smiled.
"I saw you on the news last week, what you guys do for this country and the rest of the world is incredible, you should be really proud of yourself." You say as you and Bucky walk around the park, occasionally calling out Fudge's name.
"It's the other guys really, they do most of the work. I just show up and try my best not to mess things up." Bucky sighed looking at the ground.
"Hey, don't put yourself down like that. You saved that woman's life, if it wasn't for you she would have died, you're a hero Bucky." You said placing your hand on his human arm.
"Wait, is that your dog in the pond trying to catch the ducks?" Bucky asked pointing towards the pond.
"Oh my god." You sighed running towards your crazy dog, Bucky running next to you.
"Here pass me his lead I'll get him." You handed Bucky the lead and watched him as he ran into the water and put the lead on your soaking wet dog.
"Here we are." Bucky said handing you the lead.
"Why do you do this every time we come to the park?" You said crouching down to your dogs level.
"Thank you so much Bucky, is there anything I can do to say thank you?" You said standing back up to look at Bucky who was slightly wet.
"You could go to dinner with me."
