◦○DAYBREAK○◦ Bucky Barnes

fifteen

Bucky's eyes twitched wildly and Davina's were beginning to water. Salty tears threatened to spill down her rosy cheeks. 

The pair sat across from each other, unmoving. Bucky's back was pressed against one wall, Davina's against the wall directly across from him. The girl leaned forward slightly, fighting the pain her eyes were feeling.

Barnes raised an eyebrow and continued to stare her straight in the eye, a challenging look overcoming his face.

A tear suddenly rolled down Davina's left cheek and she growled, her eyes blinking wildly.

"HAH! I win! You owe me $20." Bucky blinked as well as he crossed his arms over his chest and smirked wickedly at the flustered girl before him.

A crinkled noise from above alerted the both of them. Davina squinted at the speaker located in the right corner of Bucky's ceiling. It crinkled once again before Steve's voice flooded the room.

~Are you two seriously having a staring contest right now? Davina you went in there to check his temperature!~

Bucky rested his chin against his hand before humming a reply. "Correction Steve, we had a staring contest... I won."

Davina sneered at the man and he only sneered back in response. There was a long silence before Steve's voice crackled over the speaker once again.

~I'm getting lunch, the usual?~

"Thanks Steve! WE LOVE YOU!" Davina screamed, loud enough for Steve to hear down the hall even if the intercom wasn't on.

Bucky stifled a laugh as the pair heard Steve sigh loudly over the speaker.

~Great... K... Thanks Davina~

She laughed out loud, wiping the tear from her face that had fallen minutes earlier from their staring contest. The sound of the intercom shutting off clicked and the green light, signalling it was on disappeared.

Davina gasped, causing Bucky to look up at her, concern plastered across his crystal eyes.

"He didn't say it back Buck." Fake disappointment coating her face, the girl pouted and crossed her arms.

Bucky chuckled. "Were you really expecting him to doll-"

"Why do you call me doll?" The words slipped out of her mouth before she could stop them. Davina pressed her nail into her finger, cringing and instantly regretting her choice of words.

Bucky looked flustered, he racked his brain for a response. "I- I guess its the 40s slang, I call every girl doll-"

Davina cut him off yet again. "No... You don't Barnes. You don't call either of the two nurses that come in doll... You don't call the therapist doll... You don't call-"

"Okay okay I get it." Bucky shook his head, a small grin spreading across his face.

"So...?" Davina pondered out loud, her nail pressing further into her finger, she was beginning the feel small droplets of warm liquid on the finger, which could only be blood.

Bucky sighed. "I don't know? Maybe I like you more than them." He grinned playfully at Davina, who's cheeks flushed at his comment. "Ooooo~" Bucky whistled.

"Oh my god you asshole what now?" Davina cursed internally at the redness on her cheeks, which was only growing in colour as she spoke.

"Davina Penton." He started, uncrossing his arms and leaning forward.

The room was small in size, so the pair were only sat a couple meters away from each other. 

"Oh lord." She groaned, her head falling into her hands as her finger tips yanked at the small hairs which had escaped her bun through out the day.
