CAPTIVE [Bucky Barnes x OC] 18+

19 || Drowning

March 2019, New York
at the compound

Bucky woke in the middle of the night to an empty bed.

It must've been abandoned for a time because the sheets were cold from the chill night air rushing through the open window above his head.

He turned to lie on his back, head crushing into his pillow.

His eyes closed, the soldier sighed. He pinched his eyelids with his thumb and index finger, trying to focus his mind.

How did he not wake when she left?

He tilted his head to the right. 4:38am. The screen of his phone lit up when he turned too looked at it.

The soldier had a photo of Marie and him as his lockscreen. He was glad no one ever came past it, except maybe her.

A smirk brushed over his lips when he unlocked his phone. He looked at the picture of M lying naked in the moonlight in this bed.

Seventeen messages showed up on the screen, all from Friday.

Damn it.

He forgot their phones were all connected to the AI of the compound. Stark insisted on it, in case anyone had or was in trouble. Even when they were gone, they were connected to him. He could watch their every step if he wanted to.

The soldier didn't care to open the messages and just deleted the notifications.

Bucky shut his phone and rolled around to lie on his side. He looked at his fiancée's empty bedside. Before he could stop his hands from moving, his phone was unlocked again and he already typed a message.

Bucky:
Where are you?

The soft ping of her iPhone reached his ears from the nightstand.

He sighed again. His stomach grumbled with a queerly feeling. Something was odd.

He laid on his back again.

The blinds shielded the moonlight from his eyes. He could hear the rustling of the trees outside, but that wasn't odd. They always slept with an open window. You get used to the cold once you've spent years with it.

Bucky would've thought that maybe Marie was in the bathroom, but she would've probably turned the light on. Nevertheless, he got up and checked.

The soldier shook his head at himself, wondering when he had become so obsessed with his girlfriend's whereabouts.
He just sat back on the bed when the door opened and Marie walked in.

He looked her up and down as she walked over to his closet and threw clothes at him, not saying a single word as she did. He caught them before they could land on his face.

"Get dressed" she said.

The blonde woman made her way over to the desk, grabbing his backpack and tossing their phones and chargers inside.

Bucky raised an eyebrow at her.

His eyes followed her swift movements. He was confused.

M straightened her back when she felt him looking at her without batting an eyelash.

"Babe please." She walked over to him and put her right had on his cheek. She brushed his lips with a gentle, lovingly kiss, looking him deep in the eyes.

He looked up to her beautiful face. Moonlight eluminated its left side, leaving her eyes sparkling with the reflection. She was gorgeous. Perfectly made for the night.

"Where have you been? I woke up and you were gone."

"I know. I'm sorry, my love. I had Friday check something out for me" his fiancée replied "get dressed now." She pointed at the clothes in his hands.
