Me and @sketchpumpkin were talking about Yoga!Bucky last night and we ended up sharing way too many headcanons while suffering about Bucky together and I couldn’t help but a write something for it.
FIRST, check out this drabble and Maria’s amazing drawing about it! ❤
HERE WE GO!
Going back to the day where he’s introduced to the
class, the atmosphere is borderline tense and surprised because what? He’s the guy
who they’d seen several times on the news, mostly of them carrying bad stuff
along and now they’re going to just have yoga class with him?The instructor sees everyone’s uneasiness right away but she doesn’t
budge for a second as she tries to make him interact with them, introducing her
class one by one with his eyes attentively watching each face.By the end of the second day Bucky already knows everyone’s names.
As time passes by, the class starts to notice how serious and invested
he is into yoga and are partially surprised in noticing that he doesn’t seem a
bad person at all. That guy can’t be the guy who’s been
accused of several murders during the last decades because he’s just a big
softie, kind and tender soul. It can’t be.(As people notice that he’s overly attentive and tender, they start to
low-key fight to be Bucky’s partner for the day).(It becomes such a debate on one of these days that the instructor just
takes him off the class and makes him help her direct the class, hence Bucky
walking around the room and carefully fixing everyone’s postures with a small
smile on his face).(But he still keeps it who’s going to be his partner on a calendar).
When he helps the instructor with the class, thing which is happening
quite often, Bucky makes sure to take especial care with that elderly lady
who’s got a weak knee, or that pregnant woman who can’t stretch too much
because he’s completely done with hurting
people.(And by the end of the class if he notices someone’s not feeling well or
in any type of pain, he immediately goes up to them and makes sure they’re
alright).(In return, the class does the same for him when he’s had a particular
rough night and isn’t all focused on the moves).Eventually, the class turns into a Bucky Banes Protection Squad,
actually fighting and believing firmly that he’s not the one to blame for what
HYDRA did and that he’s as much as victim as everyone involved is.In his 100th birthday, Sam and Wanda organize a little surprise party at
the facility and invite everyone from the yoga class.As soon as Bucky realizes what’s going on and who is there, the
atmosphere filled with love and kindness as everyone hugged and kissed him, he
can’t help but tear up a little bit, feeling overwhelmed with the sensation of
being a proper human being again. The yoga instructor ends up tearing up for a
bit too.(Before that, Scott was left with the duty of distracting the super
soldier, thing which he didn’t succeed much).(Thank God he had Cassie and Bucky loved her to pieces).
And on that note, it’s proved that Bucky Barnes loves children and the
children love him.His yoga instructor just happens to has two kids who are overly proud of
their mother because she’s got a super soldier on her class an she teaches him and they absolutely doubt there’s any other mother who’s got a story like that.(Her six year old happens to have a low-key crush on Bucky because he’s
got super soft hair and super pretty eyes and looks like a prince).He becomes so close to the kids (Scott’s kid, Clint’s kids, the yoga
instructor’s kids) that he starts to accidentally grow up a collection of
drawings in his room because everytime one of the kids saw him, they’d have a drawing to gift him with.(It comes to a point where there’s no place for the drawings in his room
and Bucky just starts ton hang them in the fridge’s door at the facility’s
common kitchen).(Natasha takes about 10 minutes to find out where that came from and who
the hell was on that drawing).(“Wait– is that…Bucky?!”)
(Sam and Scott are low-key upset because Bucky’s the only one who gets all the attention and all the drawings, what the fuck man).
And actually there’s so much love that the kids just start to randomly
mention him around school, especially his yoga instructor kids, beaming up
about how they know an Avenger and that he can literally lift a car with one arm.(Bucky’s not expecting for them to call him to the Profession Day at
their school but gets a little emotional anyway).When that day finally comes, Bucky finds himself in the middle of
nurses, lawyers, doctors, police officers, firefighters and such but everyone
is excited with him and his yoga instructor like it’s the two greatest
profession in the world.All the kids just seem to have questions for him and he actually ends up
nearly taking the teacher’s place as they ask for him to color a few drawings
wih them.(Besides the kids, all the teachers are low-key beaming too because what? He’s so tall and
strong and good-looking and it doesn’t hurt to just take a look of that perfect
back and ass).(Their snapchats ends up filled with sneaky photos of him. Whoops).
Also, because of that Bucky starts to gradually become popular on the
internet because despite what the mostly of the media try to say, he doesn’t
seem like a terrorist and traitor of the country at all.There’s one day where Time magazine prints the most liar and offensive
article ever, saying horrific things about him that leads Steve to be low-key
angry at this one interview and that becomes viral with just an hour.(“You can’t trust a magazine who’s once chose Hitler as the man of the year.”)
From that, the entire internet breaks into a movement to prove that
Bucky is the real victim of the whole HYDRA ordeal, ending up as the most
debated talk on the social networks by #FreeJamesBarnes and #InnocentJamesBarnes.(Each one of the Avengers thank everyone for the support and make a post
with the hashtag, posting pictures and little facts about Bucky to accompany
it).(Even the Amnesty International posts about it).
During the official court trials, each one of the Avengers go to testify
in Bucky’s favor, despite their previous bumps and differences. Each one of the
yoga class partners go to testify in Bucky’s favor, despite their previous
hesitation before knowing him. Each one of the school’s teachers go to testify
in Bucky’s favor, despite sent snapchats an occasional visits to the kids and
the school.(There’s also a rowdy crowd outside who never lets the people passing
by, the media and the whole world to forget that he’s
an innocent man).And in that day, Bucky Barnes finally walks out of that court as a free man.
