Bucky Barnes - one shots

Fake Sleeping

I don't like the title of this, but I couldn't think of anything better to do.

Today was just any other day, just with a lot more training in it then usual. Nat Decided today would be a great day to train for 12 hours, waking me up at 5 in the morning, only taking breaks for water. I get it, I kind of got my ass beat on the last mission I went on, but to my defense they were a lot stronger than any of us thought. Plus I had our two favorite super soldiers with me to take care of the job. But that didn't matter to Nat, not in the slightest.

My foot steps were heavy as I headed to my room. Sweat was dripping down my back and neck, with exhaustion evident in my eyes. Thankfully no one ended up passing me in the hallways, usually they always try to engage in conversation. 

Once I got to my room I took a quick shower, needing to get rid of all of the sweat before going to bed. The water was cold as it hit my skin, leaving goosebumps to dance across it. Due to that I changed the temperature to a hotter one. Heat filling the room after doing that, steam clouding my vision.

After a while I decided to get out, noticing how long I had actually been in the shower for. When I went to change I put on a pair of short, pairing it with one of Bucky's shirts. Bucky and I have been dating for almost a year, but have been really close friends since forever, more recently him and I moved into the same room. In other words I moved into his room. Which means stealing his clothes is now ten times easier for me. 

I walked over to my side of the bed, pulling the black comforter open for me to slide into. The bed was cold at first, slowly warming up from my body heat. As I laid my head down on the pillow a problem arose. I was no longer tired. Or at least my body was tired, but I wasn't anymore. 

Worst part was I had nothing to help me get to sleep, Bucky was out on a mission, and I didn't want to turn on any music. Needless to say, this was going to be a very long night.

*30 minutes later*

Instead of just sitting in silence I decided to scroll through instagram, which is what I have been doing for however long now. In my head I thought that the light would make my eyes tired, forcing me to sleep, but it hasn't. In fact it has probably made me less tired then I was before.

As I continued to sit there on my phone, I heard the door knob start to turn. So, as an instinct, I turned my phone off and made it seem as if I were sleeping. I had assumed it were Nat, or maybe even Steve, coming into check why I skipped dinner. 

However, I was wrong, in fact I was very wrong.

*Bucky's pov*

It had been a very long day, and a very long week for that matter. It honestly feels like they only send me on the really long missions at this point. All I longed for during this week was to see (y/n), because then it meant that I could ick back and relax, not needing to worry about the mission at hand.

Slowly I turned the knob of the door to our room. Upon entering it was dark and cold, usually that was a sign that she was asleep. And since she wasn't downstairs when I first walked in, I assumed that was the case. Looking over towards the bed though, I couldn't really see her figure in the bed. Granted I couldn't really see much of anything to begin with.

As quietly as possible I took off my uniform top, removing all of the weapons first to make sure I definitely didn't wake her. It felt nice to finally have that sweaty things off, and have the cold air hit my bare skin. 

Then I climbed onto the bed, feeling around to find (y/n) in it. The second I found her, I pulled her into me, with her back against my front. She flinched slightly when I did that, or it could have been a shiver from the coldness of my arm, something I tended to forget about from time to time. Other than that she snuggled right into my arms, finding the spot she found to be most comfortable.

"I know you are sleep doll, but I just wanted to say how much I love you. You mean the absolute world to me, and the fact that I get to come home to you, was something I never thought I would get at one point in my life. Even back in the 40's I never thought I could ever get a dame that would stay with me, and be mine. I always thought I'd be the person that goes back forth between girls. Then when Hydra happened, I thought I never deserved to be loved. But you taught me that I am worth loving." I pulled her tighter into my chest, tracing shapes around her arm. "God, I love you so much (y/n). I just hope you never forget that." After I finished I kissed her a top of her forehead.

She started to move a bit, it was weird though, she seemed like she was trying to turn around. Like turn around to face me. So, I moved my arm, that was resting on her side, out of the way to let her move freely. Once she finally made it all the way around, she opened her eyes. She must have been awake this whole time.

"I love you more then you will ever know, and I could never forget the love you give me." She whispered back to me, a soft smile on her face. To be honest I didn't know she was awake, her breathing was slowed as if she weren't, although her heartbeat wasn't fully slowed.

"I didn't realize you were awake." I said, shock in my voice.

"I've mastered the art that is fake sleeping." We both laughed at her comment. God, she was adorable. 

She then buried her head into my neck, placing light kisses along my neck. Clearly she was exhausted. "You okay doll?" The only response I got was a simple hum, causing me to assume she was hardly even awake.

"How about you go to sleep love. I love you" I whispered to her softly. When there was no answer I looked down to find out that she was asleep, of course the time I wish she wasn't asleep she is. "Sleep well, doll." 

Pulling her closer to me, I kissed her on the head, drifting off to sleep myself.
