Soulmates

Whatever It Takes

They put a clean t-shirt on you, one of Bucky's. You laid down and got under the covers, avoiding eye contact with both men. You laid in the middle of the bed facing the right, both of them crouched down next to the bed looking at you.

Steve still had tears in his eyes, Bucky's jaw was set, holding his back. "Doll, do you want us to lay with you?" You look at Bucky with tears in your eyes. "Let us hold you, let us help you."

"Ok." You whisper quietly. They both climb into bed, getting under the covers with you. Steve on your left, Bucky on your right. You lay there as they both lay beside you and wrap their arms lightly around you, wanting to make sure you're comfortable.

"Is this okay baby? Are you comfortable?" You nod and snuggle yourself closer to them, your head against Bucky's chest and your back pressed to Steve's chest.

"I missed you both." You whisper, your voice shaky and a tear falls down your cheek and Bucky quickly wipes it off. "We will never leave your side again. I can promise you that."

Steve kisses your cheek, moving closer to you, wrapping his arms around you tighter. "We're not going anywhere and neither are you."

There are a few minutes of silence. Your head tucked securely against Bucky's chest with his and Steve's arms wrapped around you tightly while you stare into space.

"Y/n?" Bucky whispers, bringing you out fo your thoughts, which was probably for the best. "Hmm?" You hum back. "I'm so sorry babygirl. We should have never let you go, we knew how dangerous he was. I shouldn't have let you go."

"Buck, it's not your fault." You whisper looking up at him. "It is. I was supposed to protect you-" Steve interrupts him, "we both were. And we know it hurts. We can't imagine what you went through, but if you ever need to tell us, to let it out. We are right here baby."

"We'll do whatever it takes. I know it's fresh and it just happened but if you need to talk about it you have us. Or if you don't want to, that's okay too. If you want Nat, to talk to her, we can get her."

"I don't want to talk about it right now." You simply state. Wiping a few stray tears before leaning up and pressing a soft kiss to Bucky's lips, then turning back to give Steve a small kiss as well.

"Eventually, but not now. It's too soon. I just need some time. I love you holding me too, but that's all I can do...it hurts to be touched. All I see...All I see anymore is him."

"Then we will hold you. As long as you need us too. How about you get some sleep and I'll make you breakfast in the morning and we'll see about helping you shower, unless you wanna do it yourself."

"Okay." You whisper and close your eyes, snuggling as close as physically possible. "I love you babygirl." Steve whispers, pressing a kiss to your temple. "I love you doll." Bucky kisses your forehead. "I love you both."
