Chapter Text
How does Steve always seem to get into these situations.
There he was, cornered into an empty corridor by one of his many school bullies. This one in particular seemed to really target Steve. Always pushing him, throwing food at him, even going as far as to throw him into the school dumpster.
“What do you want now Barnes?” Steve’s face was a mere couple inches away from Bucky’s. Steve made the mistake to call him Bucky once and he ended up in the ER, so to him, he was Barnes.
“Want me to go away already, we’re just getting started Rogers?” Steve gulped, cowering into himself as he awaits his fate of getting punched or worse. Probably worse. Bucky seemed extra ticked off today, making Steve wonder how much worse it was going to be for him. Suddenly he took out his phone and unlocked it, going to the ever so familiar contact in his phone. Quickly he sends a text to his Minecraft girlfriend.
They met on a hunger games server when they were the last two left in the game. Her headset always seemed to be broken so he’s never heard her voice but he loved her way with words. Her contact name was still her username cause she’s never told him her name. Quite honestly he’s never been sure if she’s actually a girl of if she’s actually a 50 year old man but he’s okay with whatever, he doesn’t exactly have many friends.

He knows he didn’t make it sound serious but they’ve never had serious conversations without some self deprecating humor mixed in. Suddenly he hears Bucky’s phone goes off, maybe it’s one of his friends.
“Wanna answer your phone there Barnes?” Bucky takes his phone out of his pocket, his eyes widening as he reads the message. Steve takes notice of this and slightly tilts his head up to peer at his phone, he’s always been nosy. When Steve reads the message, his eyes grow in shock as the realization of the situation hits him.
Bucky’s his Minecraft girlfriend.
