Summary: Bucky doesn’t even believe in the paranormal. So who the hell thought it was a good idea to stick him in a series about everything haunted for the internet’s amusement? With his loose-canon of a teammate who has no concept of subtlety or shits left to give, to make things even worse. (Buzzfeed unsolved AU)
Warnings: swearing, frustrated bucky, obnoxious reader, forests, sabotaging

The morning, though loud and annoying, has a particular ease to it.
There’s ridiculously hot coffee. Scraping forks and crunch from burnt pancakes. Multiple conversations layered over the sound of Bruce’s ridiculously long voicemail playing on speaker.
“--just checking in. Hope you’re still alive. If not, well, I guess you won’t call back. Anyway, Steve, if you get this, tell Bucky-”
Bucky rejects the phone sliding across the table towards him without even looking at it. “I’m not listening to that. Last time spent fifteen minutes before telling me that his shorts were in my laundry load.”
Nat hides a small, amused smile behind her coffee mug.
Clint finishes what might have once been a waffle, but has now been smothered into an unidentifiable state.
Bucky is exactly where he always is, at the end of the table, hoodie sleeves shoved up, coffee in one hand, headphones on with no music playing, just so that he has an excuse to not talk.
Someone’s already taken a bite of his toast and he’s been glaring about it ever since.
Until you walk in. Half-dressed for the day already, jacket thrown over your shoulder, keys spinning on your finger.
He looks up when you walk in, taking his headphone off one ear and giving you a curt nod when you wave at him. It takes him too long to realise his lip is curled up in the corner.
And that someone’s taken his toast.
“You going somewhere?” Sam asks, barely looking up from his Kindle.
It’s offhanded, like he only just registered the way you’re dressed.
“Yeah. I’m leaving.”
