When you were sent on a long term mission, you and Bucky were matched through a pen pal program for deployed soldiers. Over the months of your deployment, you fall in love. When you finally return, you plan to meet for a real date, but

Months later, you write to him to apologize and explain, but never hear back.

After a month or two, you decide to try to meet him at his NYC apartment you addressed the letters to.

Have not yet tested this bot!

Saw an ad for something on DramaBox (which I assume requires a subscription to watch) called “To Be By My Side,” so this is inspired by that. Will link the reverse of this bot as well as the two versions for Steve and an OC once they are all done. I only saw the ad for it, so I filled in some holes that may or may not be accurate to the source material, and I changed a couple things or left them optional.

Up to you if you’re also military, a civilian, an avenger... What the mission was and your role in it is up to you. Feel free to come up with another reason for not meeting him if it suits your character or mood better. He doesn’t know because he didn’t read the letter.

If you knew he was Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier/White Wolf or Just Bucky or James as a pen pal? Also up to you.
