** The next morning **

A knock at the door woke you up from the best sleep you had ever had. It was Natasha, "Morning sleepyhead", confused, you asked her "What time is it?", "2 pm!" she said. You were shocked at how long you had slept, though it made sense, considering you hadn't really felt safe in years.

After getting ready you made your way down to the kitchen where Steve and Sam were just getting back from a run. "Morning y/n" they both said, you mumbled a "good morning" back to them, but with a spoonful of cereal in your mouth, it almost wasn't english.

Tony gathered everyone shortly after to go over training and what the next few months were going to look like. Not to your surprise, there was a lot of workouts and partner combat training. Tony started naming off each group "Cap and Nat, Banner and Thor, Wanda and Vision, and y/n and Barnes". You and Bucky both immediately looked at each other and quickly back down into your own laps. Nat nudges your leg which makes you look up at her. "You're blushing" she says while touching your cheek. You continue to stare into your lap until the burning heat in your cheeks flushes away.

Later that day, it was your time slot for partner combat training. You were just getting changed into the outfits Tony had given all of you, when you heard a knock at the door, "Ready partner?" Bucky asked while waiting in your doorway. You nodded and headed to the training facility.

With each punch, you could feel the tension between you both. You had the advantage, you threw him onto the floor and quickly straddled him. Your breaths were equally as heavy and in sync, you both stopped fighting and sat there for a second, catching your breath. With no warning, he flipped you over onto your back and pinned you on the floor. "You're going to have to do a bit better than that doll" he stated. You squealed at the surprise and he placed his hand on your throat, holding you in place. He stared into your eyes, contemplating something, then you heard him whisper "fuck it" but before you could say anything, he slammed his lips onto yours. Without hesitation you kissed back as hard as you could and nearly melted when you could feel his tongue finding its way around your mouth. There were no breaks in between each kiss you could barely breathe. His metal hand clenched tighter before releasing from your throat and started to explore your body as he ran his fingers down, stopping at your hips and traveling back up, under your shirt. The cold metal of his hand clashed with your warm skin and gave you goosebumps all over. 

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything" Tony says, not entirely surprised. You both roll off of each other and frantically stand up. Tony rolled his eyes and left the training center. Neither of you try to reignite the fire, the moment was over. You mutter, still heavily breathing "I should probably go take a shower", and he replies "Yea yea, same here" and you both leave, totally embarrassed.  

You hide away in your room for as long as you can until Tony makes the dinner announcement, which you were dreading. You had only been there for 2 days and had slept in until 2 pm and already made out with one of the Avengers, good job y/n, good job. 

At dinner, Bucky made a point to sit next to you, which was the last thing you wanted. You couldn't stand the Avengers thinking that you were there to just mess around, because that was not the case. You already felt terrible about Tony walking in on the both of you, considering he was the one who had faith in you. Luckily, Tony didn't bring up anything at dinner, he knew you didn't want to be embarrassed. 

While cleaning up after dinner, you could feel Bucky staring at you and he would brush up against you at any chance he got, just to touch your skin. Each time your skin touched, butterflies in your stomach went wild and you could feel the rush of blood to your face. But then you spotted Tony on his own, went over and said, "Tony, I'm so sorry, it wasn't what it looked like. I really am taking this seriously and I promise I'll make it up to you I swear!". "Y/n I'm not mad, I don't care if you like him or not, I was just messing with you both. And for the record, I think you'd be good for Barnes. That guy needs a little love in his life". You were completely shocked, "Oh, ok then, and thanks... I think" you managed to get out. 

You were already pretty tired after dinner. Before you and Bucky had your moment, you had both been training for 4 hours prior. You went to your room and accidentally passed out around 7 pm. 

** In y/n dream **

"RUN Y/N, RUN" mom was screaming. You could barely see anything, there was dust and fire everywhere, but you knew that you were on a bridge. You couldn't find your mom, dad or brother; you tried to call their names but nothing came out, you screamed and even then, nothing came out. Everything seemed as if it was in slow motion and you had no control over anything. You followed the sound of your mom's voice and saw her, your dad and brother stuck in the car you had just barely managed to escape. You tried tugging on them but you were too weak. You felt a rumble that slammed you onto the ground. Dizzy and confused you stood up and soon saw that car was sliding towards the edge of the bridge. You frantically pulled and grabbed at the car but there was nothing you could do. You watched the car drop in slow motion with tears streaming down your face. 

** End dream **

You woke yourself up with a scream and tears running down your face. Both Steve and Bucky heard your scream and were knocking at your door in an instant. You couldn't voluntarily move anything, you were rocking back and forth bawling your eyes out. "Y/n!!" Steve and Bucky yelled "What's going on? Are you okay??" Bucky added.  You couldn't bring yourself to form words, so you just sat there. The next thing you know, your door has been broken down and Bucky and Steve are at the end of your bed. You can see their lips moving but can't hear anything. 

"Steve, I've got this. You go get her some water" Bucky said, and Steve left. "Hey, y/n, what's going on? You've gotta talk to me" Bucky whispered. You looked up from your lap and saw him sitting on the edge of your bed, wearing only his boxers. Normally, this would excite but not right now. In between breaths, you managed to squeeze out "It was just a nightmare", and continued to cry. "It clearly wasn't JUST a nightmare y/n" Bucky snapped back. He scooched back onto your bed and leaned back on your headboard and pulled you in close so you were laying on his chest. Steve came back in and handed you the cup of water he had gone to get. Bucky then waved him off and mouthed "It's ok, I've got her" and Steve gave a thumbs up as he left. 

You laid with Bucky until you stopped crying and could talk again. "I lost my family when I was a 16", you paused "We were going on our first family vacation, to Hawaii. It was my parents, my brother and I. We packed up everything and left early in the morning. We got stuck in traffic on this bridge, and then out of nowhere we got hit by an air strike. Our car got thrown and landed upside down and I was small enough to squeeze out but my parents and brother were stuck", you started crying again and Bucky held you tighter. "They were stuck and I tried pulling them out any way I could but nothing worked" you wiped your tears, "Then another one hit the bridge and the car fell off of the bridge and my whole family fell with it", you bawled into his arms. He looked at you and said, "You did everything you could y/n, you couldn't have done anything more. You're okay now doll, I've got you". You both fell asleep and he held you the entire night.
