Masterlist
Dating a paramedic in one of the most populated cities in America wasn’t always the easiest. He worked long hours, got called in during date nights, and was practically impossible to reach during his shifts. Bucky warned you this would be the case when you started dating, but that didn’t mean it made it any easier.
You missed him constantly and worried about him even more. He didn’t have the most dangerous job compared to other first responders, but after the second time one of the drunk men he was helping landed him in the hospital, the worrying set in. Bucky could hold his own for sure, but the beer bottles they threw at his head still left him with stitches.
Your boyfriend reassured you that there was nothing to worry about. He would come home with gauze wrapped around his head and take you into his arms, mumbling something along the lines of, “Missed you, sweetheart. Oh, this old thing? Just a scratch.” It wasn’t, but he looked too cute in his uniform for you to scold him. He obviously used that to his advantage.
There were some benefits to Bucky’s occupation. The main one being that it was the reason you two met. Your best friend had begged you relentlessly to go to some children’s fair with her and her son, Toby. You, single and with no children, begrudgingly agreed after she bribed you with chocolate and a free dinner. It was pretty mundane for the most part, until you got to the paramedic’s booth.
There, the most beautiful man you’d ever laid your eyes on was standing under a canopy tent, passing out stickers to the kids with a smile that melted your heart. He was wearing his uniform, the hat a little crooked, and would take breaks every once in a while to give the kids a tour of the ambulance behind him. When you and your friend made it through the line, he lifted his eyes and sent you a quick wink.
