Got the idea from tik-tok.

---

When Bucky joined the team, or when Steve persuaded him to stay at the compound, he'd barely leave his room. This meant that people had to give him food and try to get him to eat. 

Steve usually did it, but you offered do do it once in a while, which resulted in you and Bucky getting unbelievably close. The two of you would talk about everything, and once he got completely comfortable with you then he told you about his days at Hydra. He'd tell you about his nightmares and how they tortured him into doing things. 

He told you about the cold concrete cells he was kept in. 

You walked through the spacious corridors in the compound that lead to Bucky's bedroom. A few hours ago you carried Bucky's food to his room and you were walking back to check up on him. 

The corridors filled with the sound of your silent breathing and your feet walking. The air was thin with the coldness that entered through the windows in the rooms. You arrived at Bucky's door and gently knocked on it, when there was no response, you grabbed the handle and pushed the door open carefully. 

Your gaze fell on a sleeping body on the floor, covered in heaps of thin blankets that you gave him when he first came to live in the compound. You watched the slight movement of his chest as he breathed, but as you walked deeper into the room you noticed he wasn't sleeping at all. His eyes opened slowly as you walked closer to him. 

You leaned down and sat down criss-cross next to his side, reaching up to his face to brush the small strands of hair that covered his eyes. He closed his striking blue eyes again and leaned into the feeling of your skin on him. 

   "The bed's too soft, I'm sorry," He whispered into the air as you retreated your hands back into your lap. 

He'd gotten so used to sleeping on hard concrete in his Hydra cell that he couldn't even fall asleep on a normal bed anymore. You felt your body heat up in anger at Pierce for everything he's done to Bucky. The whole topic of Hydra always irritated you, but when Bucky joined, your hatred just seemed to rise 1000 times. 

It broke your heart every time he'd have a nightmare or refuse to eat because the memories caused his body to ache. And this, shattered you completely.

   "Don't apologise," You whispered which made him open his eyes lazily up at you. You smiled tenderly and you both enjoyed the tranquillity that flooded the room. "Do you want me to leave?" 

He shook his head, "Please stay," 

Without hesitation you placed your body on the floor next to him as you stared into his eyes.

   "You don't have to thou-" He tried to argue as he lifted the blankets that weight down his body, letting you slide next to him. You huffed a laugh and slid in next to him, reaching for his metal  arm slowly, placing it around yourself which let him pull you closer. 

His arm held onto your waist tightly and exhaled as he put his nose in your hair. "Thank you," He mumbled into your head, making you giggle silently. Both of you fell asleep not long after, letting Bucky's warmth consume you into a peaceful slumber.

Steve walked into Bucky's room after he asked F.R.I.D.A.Y where you were. He simply needed an update on how Bucky was doing after Bucky basically replaced him with you. Bucky said that he wasn't replacing anyone, he just didn't know he'd ever get so close to someone other than Steve, so he wanted to enjoy every moment with you. 

His eyes instantly fell onto the two unconscious bodies wrapped up in thousands of colourful blankets on the floor. His feet paused as he leaned against the door frame, smiling at his two best friends in an embrace. 

Your head was on Bucky's chest and an arm wrapped around his torso, looking very comfortable despite the carpet digging into the skin on your hips. Bucky's chin was on the top of your head and his arms were wrapped around your waist also looking very serene. 

He was internally screaming out of happiness at how perfect you two looked together. 

He left a few seconds later, with a massive grin on his face.
