Enemies with Benefits (Bucky x female reader)

Chapter 25

~Y/N's POV~

I woke up on Bucky's chest. I looked up to his face and he was awake.

"Good morning." I whispered. His metal hand ran up my arm and back down.

"Morning." He said in a raspy voice. "How'd you sleep?" I nodded.

"Good." I said. "I slept good." I wrapped my arms around him and snuggled into him more.

"You know, a couple weeks ago you wouldn't be doing this with me." I pulled my arms back and propped my head on my elbow to look him in the eye.

"Yeah." I nodded. "But there is something different about the way I look at you." I instantly regretted what I had just said. I took my head of my hand and buried my face into the pillow.

"What does that mean?" he asked. His hand rested on my shoulder, trying to push me on my side. I groaned when he succeeded. "Y/N, what does that mean?"

"I me-, the-. How am I supposed to say this?" I said to myself "I like you Bucky. I guess deep down I had already felt that, but I had another reason, or an excuse, to disregard the feeling. So I buried it down. But-, god now I'm rambling." He chuckled. I looked at him and he pushed the piece of hair behind my ear. I leaned close to his face looking down at his lips. He closed the gap and started to kiss me. His hand reached to my back pulling me closer. I pushed myself onto him so I was on top. He sat up and I was straddling his lap. His hands rested on my lower back, and I put both of my hands on both sides of his face. I felt a feeling in my stomach and I was off of him and being slammed against the wall.

"Y/N!" He yelled. He was instantly at my side. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Ow!" I whispered. I laughed then groaned. I saw him shake his head. "Yeah, I think so." He stood up and held both of his hands out to help me up. I took his hands and he pulled me up. When I stood up he wrapped his arms around me. I copied his movements. "I'm okay, I promise." He nodded his head.

"How about you go ahead and get ready for the day and I'll go talk to Bruce." He said and I nodded

~Bucky's POV~

When I let her go she walked into the bathroom. I didn't leave until I heard the water start. I quickly walked out of the room and to the elevator. When I got to the twelfth floor I walked to the lab where Dr.Cho was looking through a microscope and Bruce was on the computer.

"Hey James." Bruce said and looked up at me. "What's going on?"

"Y/N just flew across the room and slammed into the wall like she was attached to a tether. She did whatever she did to the med bay, yesterday." I said. "What the hell is going on?" I said sitting down on a stool.

"We're checking her blood and seeing what the chip is. Theory is..." He stopped talking.

"What, Banner." I said. "The theory is what?" He shook his head. "Not telling me that's fine, Bruce. But you need to tell her, because not telling her, that is playing with the strings in her life and messing with those strings is risky."

"Her blood type is completely different." Dr.Cho chimed in. "It was O type, which is one of the most common blood types, to B type, which is the rarest."

"Okay, what does that mean?" I asked.

"It means that the theory is most likely true. We need to do more tests." I nodded. I walked out to go get her. When I knocked on her door she answered with her towel wrapped around her, and her hair dripping wet.

"Hi." She said. Her eyes were red.

"Hey, Um, Cho and Banner want to see you downstairs." I looked down and her left knuckles were bloody. "Hey, are you okay?" She started to nod but it ended up her shaking her head. She started crying and started to fall to the ground. I caught her before she did. I was shushing her and rubbing her back. "Hey, I'm right here."

"What's happening to me?" She whispered.

"I don't know. I don't know but Dr.Cho and Bruce are going to figure it out. Okay?" She nodded. I pulled back and kneeled down to where I could look her directly in the face. "Go get dressed, and they're going to do more tests to get to the bottom of it." When she went to change I realized that her bruises were gone. I shook my head. I had a theory of my own. That Yolanda did something to her. When she was done getting dressed she walked over to me, I wrapped my arms around her and I kissed the top of her head. "They'll figure it out." I said. She nodded and we walked to the elevator. When the doors opened I went to walk out but she stood there. I held out my hand. She hesitated but took it and we walked to the lab. When we walked in, Bruce and Dr.Cho looked up.

"Hey, Y/N. We want to do some MRI testing, is that okay?" Bruce asked. She nodded slowly. He looked at me. "Are you staying?"

"Yes." Y/N said quickly. I looked at her and she nodded again. "I want him here." Bruce nodded his head and gave her a medical gown. When she came out of the bathroom she walked over the machine and gave me a glance and I nodded. She motioned me over to her. I walked over to her.

"You'll be okay."
