~SCRIPT START~
Hey there, stranger. I was wondering where you'd run off to.
You having fun?
...
Yeah, I am for sure. Lotta cool people here tonight.
But you didn't answer my question, you just threw it back at me.
(Sincere) So I'll ask you again, are you having fun?
...
Because you're not a good liar, and you're even less convincing when I can see that you're obviously struggling.
...
(Caring) Hey, it's okay... is it the music?... All the people talking?... The... everything?
...
(Worried) You poor thing... come on, I'm gonna take you away from all this noise and get you some air.
There we go. Just breathe in that night air for me, nice and deep.
...
That's it, breathe with me... in... and out...
Honey... you need to let me know when you're getting overstimulated. I thought I told you that the last time this happened.
...
You didn't wanna bother me?
Hey, you're never a bother, okay? Never a burden. You know I don't want you dealing with this stuff on your own.
Is this better, now that you're away from everything?
...
Better now that I'm here? Great. I love being that person for you.
...
Don't say that, you have nothing to apologize for. I get it, the loud music plus all the new faces... it's a lot. And clearly it was a little too much tonight.
I think you need a break from all this chaos and excitement. Wanna take a walk with me?
It's a beautiful night, and it's so late that we'll have the streets all to ourselves. Could even be a little romantic... what do you think?
...
Awesome. Can I take your hand, or is that gonna make you more uncomfortable?
...
It's alright?... Okay, here... we can walk as slow as you like, you set the pace.
...
Nowhere in particular... we're just gonna walk this off together.
...
No, I don't need your jacket... it's a warm night, I'll be fine like this. Thanks for offering, though... I don't know how you can still be such a sweetheart, even in this state...
Besides, it looks much better on you... I love your style, you know... I mean, you do know, because I'm constantly stealing your clothes.
...
Oh, you're proud of me for wearing my own clothes tonight?... Don't speak too soon, love...
See, I'm wearing your socks...
...
I can't help it, they're so cozy... none of my socks are anywhere near this comfy.
...
Well, I'm glad you don't mind me being such a dirty thief, cause I don't plan on stopping any time soon.
...
Gosh, it's so quiet... like we're the only two people in the world...
(Excited) Ooh, looks like I spoke too soon... hey, little guy!
(Disappointed) Aww, why do they always run off like that?... I guess they're just easily frightened.
I wish I had like a cat translator so I can be like "it's okay, I just wanna cuddle you!"
It was so cute as well, did you see it?
...
No, it wasn't a stray, I saw a collar. That cat probably has a very nice home, and I bet its owners spoil it all the time.
...
Yeah, it was a little chubby... maybe a little too spoiled...
...
(Concerned) What?... What does that look mean, what's the matter?
...
No sweetie, of course you didn't ruin my night. If I found out you were suffering for the whole party, that would have ruined it.
I don't see how hanging out with you could "ruin" anything... it's always a plus in my book.
I love spending time with you, you know that... it gives me the opportunity to do stuff liiiike... kiss your hand...
Do you remember why I always hold your left hand and not your right one?
...
Aww, you remembered!... So I can be closer to your heart...
...
Oh, shut up... it is not corny, it's cute.
You must be feeling better if you're back to roasting me. Is the walk helping to clear your head a little?
...
Good, I'm so glad. I really hate that you have to go through this sometimes.
...
Hey, we've all got our own issues we have to deal with. I'm no perfect specimen either, you know...
You're not crazy, or broken, or anything like that. And I certainly don't think any less of you because of it.
...
Of course I don't. I think you're amazing, in case you've forgotten. Please don't be so hard on yourself... It's not good for you.
You're always so kind to the people in your life... just don't forget to save a little bit of that kindness for yourself as well.
...
Okay. As long as you're trying, that's all I ask.
...
Me?... No, I'm not scared. I mean, I guess it is a little spooky when the streets are empty like this, but I'm never scared when I'm with you.
You always make me feel safe, it's one of the many reasons why I love you.
...
I know you know that, but I feel like I don't say it enough these days, y'know?
When you've been together for as long as we have, you can start to take stuff for granted. Things become... I don't know, more ordinary. I just don't want you to ever feel like I don't still appreciate everything you do.
I still think you're as incredible as you were when I first met you, and my love for you has only grown since then.
Hey, stop walking for a second...
That's why.
No, I'm not drunk!... What, I have to be drunk to kiss you now?
Seriously, I mean it... I love having you in my life. I honestly don't know what I'd do without you. I don't want you to ever forget how special you are to me.
...
(Amused) Wow... all these years later and I can still leave you speechless, huh?
It's okay... sometimes finding the right words is hard. Just squeeze my hand if you feel the same way.
That's all I need, my darling, and it's good to see you smiling again.
...
No, I'm not tired... just felt like holding on to your arm...
...
Oh, look at that. We must have walked in a circle, look... there's the car.
Your chariot awaits, your highness...
...
Nah. Party's are fun and everything, but only when both of us can enjoy them.
What you need right now is rest, calm... and maybe being forced to watch my reality shows with me.
I'll drive us home, okay? I know you're feeling drained and I don't wanna ask too much of you.
I will ask you to do one thing though.
...
Don't worry, it's not a big thing. It's just a promise.
I want you to promise me that the next time you feel yourself getting overwhelmed, you'll let me know.
I know you're a really strong person, and you take pride in that, but it's okay to need a little help sometimes.
And I'll always be here so you can borrow some of my strength whenever you need it.
Hey... what's the hug for?
...
For being me?... Well, aren't you sweet.
How about I'll keep being me as long as you keep being you... how does that sound?
...
Yeah... I like the sound of that too.
~THE END~
Bucky knows guilt, so if there's one person who can talk about it with you, it would be him.
Contains: Talking about Guilt, Mentions of Gaslighting, Mentions of Anxiety, Mentions of Bucky's Past, Reassurance, Comfort
I was feeling some guilt in the past week or so, and I think that it's not something we talk about often, especially those of us who have lived through trauma or have anxiety, so I thought that Bucky would be a good vehicle to talk about it, considering his past. Keep an eye out on those content warnings. It's nothing super explicit, but it could be potentially triggering. Hope everyone enjoys!
~Audio Transcript Below~
Bucky: Guilt has been one of the biggest things I've had to get over....
Because for the most part, I'm becoming aware of the things that I did. For such a long time.....even now still everything feels like one of those dreams where you're almost watching yourself from outside yourself? You can see yourself doing these horrible, evil things, and no matter how much you scream on the inside, nothing helps.
When they were happening, I didn't have much....regular conscience.....I suppose you could call it.....but now....now that it's hindsight....well....you know how the saying goes.....
I've been trying to reconcile with the idea that everything that happened....wasn't my fault.....Yes, I did those terrible things, it was physically me......but it wasn't mentally me.....
I guess what I'm trying to say is that......yes, you can feel guilty....that's a given.....but if you really take a look back at the situation that you're agonizing over with as clear and....well as objective eyes as you can....and ask yourself.....was it really your fault.....or are you taking on the guilt because you think it's what you need to do?
I know my situation is.....probably vastly different.....but the.....sentiment I guess is the same.
And if you don't think that you can look upon it with an objective mind.....someone who wasn't involved in the situation at all may be able to give some sort of insight....
You can talk to me if you want......God knows that I've talked your ear off about all my shit......seems only fair that I do the same for you.....
And--before you say anything, I'm not doing this to pity you or anything, or because I feel like I need to return the favor.....I'm offering because I genuinely care and want to help you......the thing....I said before.....wasn't helpful......sorry.....
So.....what's the thing you're nervous or....feeling guilty about?
*long pause*
Well.....If you really want my opinion....I don't think that you should feel as guilty as you probably should.....
You can feel guilt for what happened......the fact that it happened at all.....that's alright.....but I don't think you were as involved as you say that you were......the fact that you couldn't do anything to change it or to stop it in the moment---
Hey....but remember....you're thinking about it with the hindsight of it going to happen anyways.....the knowledge you have after the fact....isn't going to help you now that it's already over.......
So there really was you could do......
*pause*
Even if you're the one who takes the brunt of the aftermath, it doesn't necessarily mean it's your fault either. That's thing that I had to deal with too....
People are always trying to place blame on other people, for everything.....it's never fault, it's always fault.....because people don't want to take the consequences for their actions....
I'm a special circumstance, but you know what I mean.....
*pause*
I'm sorry you're feeling guilty, and just having a hard time....I don't know if I said that to you already.....and--before you say, "it's not your fault"....I know.....but I can be empathetic and sympathetic to your situation.....it's more a, "sorry you're feeling that way" instead of treating it like did something.
*pause*
*chuckles softly* I knew you were gonna say something like that because that was something Steve practically had to do everything short of punch outta me....
'Cause when everyone decides you're the one that's guilty.....and they tell you that over, and over and over again.....you start to believe it......because how could so many people be wrong instead of just me being wrong...."I probably thought wrong, or I'm misremembering..." it's another tactic that assholes use to shift the blame on someone else......
So.....in my opinion.....it wasn't your fault.....there as nothing you could've done differently in that scenario....you handled it with as much grace and tact as you could have.....and well.......I'm proud of you.....
*pause*
Of course I'm proud of you....not just with the fact that I actually think it could've gone a lot worse were it not for you.....but that you're willing to talk about it with me......that you recognize this guilt that you're feeling.....and you recognize that there's something off about it.....Not everyone is willing to speak and question and talk through their feelings. I know I wasn't for a.....well....for a really long time.....
Being able to recognize your feelings and put them into words is something that not everyone is good at.....being....vulnerable is not something that a lot of people are good at.....or hell....even to do......
But I think that being vulnerable.....and trying to be as in touch with our feelings.....and as open about our feelings as we can.....can help us parse through them....and get to the bottom of why we may be feeling the way that we are.....can give us a deeper understanding of the type of person we are.....and can give us an opportunity to be able to work through the bad things.....and celebrate the good things......
*pause*
Oh no....I didn't come up with all that myself.....a lot of it comes from counselling.....and also Steve....and you......the combination of you three are forces to be reckoned with *chuckles*
But that doesn't make what I said any less true......it took me a while to understand it.....to come to grips with what I was feeling.....and allowing myself to have those feelings in the first place. Hell....in the beginning.....I didn't even think that it was right of me to even guilty......
Enough about me though......I'm still proud of you.....and I'm glad and honored that you're willing to share with me......
And....if you're worried about....whether or not you're a good person.......I want you to remember.....that bad people don't care about being better......they don't care about the feelings of others.....they don't feel guilt.......
You're not a bad person.....I promise......as someone who......*sighs* thought he was irredeemably bad......you are a very...very good person......and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you.....and appreciate having you in my life.......
You're going to be alright.......things are going to turn out for the better.......It's something we've got to believe in......because otherwise.....what's the point?
Sorry.....that might be a little morbid but.....I think there's some truth to it. If we don't keep fighting, keep trying....keep believing.....nothing is going to get better......
I believe in you.....just as much as I know that you believe in me.......We can do this......together......
You're on a school trip to the beach, and as luck would have it, you're forced to share a room with your bully. Who also happens to be the most popular person in school, star captain of the volleyball team, and your crush for as long as you can remember. After a tiring day spent with the rest of your classmates, you two return to your cottage, and you start feeling all sleepy, and then.....and then you fall asleep on their lap.
