I was walking back to my room, bowl of cereal in hand, when I heard soft whimpers,
whimpers filled with pain and sadness echo through the hallway; I knew exactly where they were coming from.
Usually, I would tell F.R.I.D.A.Y to get Cap, but since he was on a mission with Sam and Nat, I decided I should go and see if he's okay, what could go wrong? I mean yes I had the biggest crush on him, and he could never like me back but I couldn't stand the thought of him being in pain all alone.
I stood outside his door with my hand over the handle, attempting to will myself to open it, what if he thought I was overstepping? What he just turned around and told me to get out? It didn't matter what I thought might happen, Buckys crying was unbareable.
I opened the door and gently shut it behind me.
"Bucky?" I spoke as I placed my bowl on a table and looked over his room.
My eyes found him huddled under a pile of pillows and blankets, soft whimpers emitting from his makeshift fort. I pulled back a blanket to see him, attempting to wipe his tears away.
"Oh, Buck," I said, almost pitifully.
He looked up at me, his eyes bloodshot, he looked as though he hadn't slept in days, but bearing in mind the horrors he endures at night, i wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't.
"Y/N," he croaked, "I'm so sorry if I woke you up," he diverted his gaze and fiddled with a pillow in front of him.
"You didn't," I said gently, bending down to stroke his hand, "I just wanted to make sure you were ok,". He smiled.
"Do you mind if i just-," I made a gap in his fort and climbed next to him, he was tense at first, unsure how far he could go, but I had a sudden confidence boost and took his head and lay him in my lap, running my hands through his hair.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.
He was suddenly very aware of his metal arm and started trying to move it away from me. So, in response i took it and laced my fingers through.
"Same stuff as usual," he mumbled.
Sensing Bucky didn't want to go into anymore detail, I didn't ask any more questions. Instead, we lay there in a comfortable silence, the only sounds were the wind and gentle noise of the rain hitting off Buckys window as i braided his soft hair. We were just so comfortable with each other,in a way we've never really been before.
After a while, I asked, "Hey, do you want to go watch a movie or something?" he sat up and nodded, I stood and reached out my hand to pull him up too.
"Y/N, is this your cereal?", he chuckled as he picked up the bowl and ate a spoonful.
