King of My Heart - Bucky Barnes x Reader

Part 26

Bucky was laying down on the grass of the castle's garden, his gazed fixed on the blue sky and the clouds, it was really beautiful. No more beautiful than you, he thought to himself. He heard your laugh from the distance and he smiled instantly when the melodic sound of your voice reached his ears. He tried to seat up to take a better look at you but for some odd reason he couldn't, he felt like he was petrified but no longer after you layed by his side and pressed your lips to his. He felt warmth and happiness as your soft lips touched his with such passion but also tenderness like you always did.

When you broke the kiss and stared at him, he noticed that you were wearing a flower crown, the same one he made for you as a kid all those years ago. The sunlight behind your head made you look like an angel or a goddess, he didn't know for sure but he was entranced by you. His heart was beating faster on his chest as your fingers traced his jaw and then his lips. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, taking in your perfume mixed with the essence from the flowers that surrounded both of you.

"I love you so much, James. Come back to me. Please." you whispered on his ear. Suddenly his eyes widened and he didn't understand why would you say such things to him because he was always by your side and always would be.

"I'm right here, my queen. I'd never leave you. Ever." he says and caress your cheek. You close your eyes and smile at him, like you knew that what he was saying was the true.

"I know, my king. You're the strongest man I know. You have to stay with us." you rested your head on his chest as he held you closer to him like he would never let you go.

"I will, my love. I promise you." he said back to you before feeling his eyelids growing heavy and he gave in, falling on a peaceful slumber with your body pressed to his own.

"Is he on any pain?" Steve asked Wanda unsure on how they would proceed from now on, specially after Bucky wakes up.

"Not now. I'm keeping his mind on a good place. It won't last forever but he'll survive, Steve. We did what we have to do to save his live." Wanda tried to make him feel better but Steve kept on worrying as he looked at his king and best friend laying on the could marble.

"I hope you're right, Wanda." he sighed wondering how would Bucky react to his new condition.

"You should rest too. You were both exhausted from the battle. You can join me for supper if you want." she offered politely.

"Thank you, Wanda." he smiled.

Steve already knew the following morning wasn't one easy to wake up to. Without much thought, he decided to write a letter for you and Peggy, to let you both know that they're were alive at least. He folded the piece of paper and put it on his coat. He would ask a guard to deliver it to ypur kingdom first thing in the morning, for now he decided to rest and wait for the sun to rise.
