Chapter 15

Cap's POV:

We reach home as the sun is about to go down. I gently place Bucky on my bed as I inspect him. He's injured pretty bad. There's blood all over his torso. I leave him alone for a minute to grab the first aid kit from the bathroom cabinet

Hmm, maybe it's a good idea to have a pair of scissors too

I go into the kitchen real quick to snatch them

I return to tend to Barnes

I don't wanna risk hurting him more by attempting to take his shirt off. Can't have the fabric rubbing on his wounds

I take the scissors and cut the black shirt

I'm taken back by his abs

Wow, he has the body of a super soldier alright

I don't let myself get distracted and start to work. I wrap the bandages around Bucky's chest and stomach. While I'm doing that, I notice cuts covering his right arm. That's a little odd. There was no glass involved. I clean it and the rest with cloth, dabbing the injuries. I put everything away then sit by my friend's side

However, I can't stop staring at his body. I've never seen James shirtless so this is new for me

I stand up and move closer

I really hope he doesn't remember this

Unable to resist, I gently run my hand along his abs. I sense my face beginning to heat up, but I continue. That is until I see movement, alarming me to retreat my hand

Bucky's eyes wave open, facing me

"Hey" He says

"Hey, how you feel?" I ask

The soldier struggles to sit up, touching his bandages

"I suggest you be careful. You're severely hurt"

He lays down

"So, what happened? I don't have memory of much" The brunette questions

I pause before answering

"You took a bullet for me. I beat up the goon"

"...Thanks" Buchanan speaks

I smile

"I should be thanking you. It's not everyday you'll save someone's life. Get some rest"

He goes right to sleep
