Those Ocean Eyes and That Charming Smile

036

"Y/n?" Bucky whispers softly. "Come on, doll. It's time to wake up." He squeezes my hip

I slowly crack my eyes open at the gentle, deep voice and blink a few times from the bright light of the jet shining down on my face. Bucky's dark blue eyes come into view and his smile makes me smile and lazily cuddle closer into his chest but I flinch when cheek hits the tough leather of his vest. His smile drops slightly after seeing my grimace and moves his right hand up to my head to brush my hair out of my face. I look down to see we are the last two people in the jet while the team walks into the elevator and how I now lay opposite from when I first fell asleep knowing he moved me because of my arm. My hair is also no longer tied up and I know he took it down and probably ran his fingers through my tangled mess.

"How are you feeling?" Bucky asks in a quiet voice

"Tired." I mumble and cuddle more cautiously into his chest

"Magic wise or physical wise?" He helps me and holds the side of my face in his hand

"Both." I hum

"Are you hungry?" He asks his concerned questions about my well being and it makes me smile a little

"Yeah." I look back up at his navy eyes and raise my hand to cup the side of his face so I can feed my magic into his head and get rid of the protection spell

"Pretty." He turns his head and presses a small kiss to my palm before my hand drops back down to my stomach with not much energy. "Oh, doll." He frowns a little when he notices the weight

"I love you." I sigh 

"I love you more." He replies warmly and stands up with me in his arms where he walks down the ramp and my eyes wash over the empty seats where Ian and his sister were sitting

"Where are the k-" I start

"In the prison cells under the tower." He answers with a monotone voice

"Good." I relax. "I'll take care of the paperwork tomorrow." I mutter

"After we get you to medical we should take a bath." He nods in agreement. "I don't feel like taking a shower." He shrugs

"I'm on my period." I remind him

"Wear a tampon." He suggests. "You can take a proper shower tomorrow."

Too tired to actually take the proper shower he is talking about, I nod and go with his words knowing full well I have all day to take a shower or in the middle of the night if I feel like I need it and can't sleep anymore which will most definitely happen. I almost fall asleep again in Bucky's hold as he smoothly walks into the elevator and eventually the clinic where Bruce is already waiting for me by a bed with different medical supplies and it is making my stomach do flips and not in the good way at all.

I know every doctor and nurse in here mean absolutely no harm so I let Bucky walk over to the bed and lay me down but it's just my habits that resurface every now and again to get me out of situations like this. I hold it down though and never look at the medical supplies that makes me swallow thickly as the blood drains from my face and Bucky grabs my hand after seeing my cheeks pale from the different supplies. It seems like Bruce notices it too when he comes over and sees my head turned away and slightly shaking hand with the grip around the metal hand tightening.

"I'm just going to clean it and stitch you up." Bruce explains softly

"I know." I nod my head and tear my eyes away from the different needles sitting on the blue cotton cloths and look at Bucky instead who smiles and pulls a chair over to sit by my head 

"What scent do you want tonight?" Bucky asks to distract me. "It's your turn to pick."

"I don't know." I breathe and hiss at the burn when Bruce cleans the cut on my arm
