THE HEROES (tfatws)

*one*

ANNASTASIA GOT HOME AROUND FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING into her dark apartment. She quietly put her car keys on the small hanger next to the door and took her shoes off and put her hair in a bun then walked into the small kitchen where she put her jacket on the counter and soundlessly washed her hands. The blonde saw the TV was on and her sleeping boyfriend who was still on the ground that they used for bed...there were no furniture in the apartment other than a cupboard, a TV and two armchairs that were way too small to be used as beds.

The two were sleeping on a blanket on the ground with the pillows that came with the armchairs

"Buck" Annastasia whispered and he quickly sat up "you are alright"

"Nastya" he whispered and hugged her

"Another nightmare" the blonde questioned as she hugged him back

"Yeah" he responded as he buried his face into her collar bone "how you never have nightmares"

"I used to have plenty" she responded which made him laugh a little

"Are you coming home or are you going back"  he questioned

Annastasia only sighed

"Can you stay at home...at least for today" he requested as he looked at her

"I will be staying at home today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I got fired"

"Why"

"I was late again and my boss said she was sick of me being behind schedule. By the way you have to visit Raynor tomorrow"

"Right, will you come"

"You know I always do"

                                         ***

"So, Mr. Barnes, are you still having nightmares" asked Dr. Raynor

No response from James who only looked at his girlfriend

"James I asked you a question, don't look at her, otherwise she will have to leave" Doc said and Nastya turned around to look through the window "are you still having nightmares"

"No" James lied

Raynor responded "we've been doing this long enough that I can tell when you're lying"

"You seem a little off today" Raynor continued "did something happened recently"

"No" James shook his head slightly

"You're a civilian now" Raynor started lecturing him "with your history, the government need to know that you are not gonna.." Doc added and raised her fist in the air as Annastasia looked at her and Bucky nodded

"So, tell me about your most recent nightmare"

"I didn't have a nightmare" the man continued denying

Doc took a deep breath, took her pen out and started writing in her small notebook

"Oh, come on. Really" James spoke "you are gonna do the notebook thing..Nastya tell her to stop, she always does it"

Nastya pretend she was locking her mouth and that she threw away the key

"Why? It's passive aggressive"
