Lego House - Ed Sheeran

When you wake up, you've both shifted in position. Bucky Lies on his back, one hand around you and resting on your ribs, one lying free. Your head rests on his chest, pressing your forehead to his cheek. Your arm is still round his stomach and the other is curled up in the small space between you.
You look up to see Bucky still asleep. So deeply in fact, it's almost like he's been deprived. Funny, that.
You rest your head back down and glance at the clock on the bedside table. It's 10am, so not too late. But hey, you're on vacation! You're about the drift back off when you feel the soft rumble of his voice under your ear.

Bucky
"Good morning."

You look back up with dozey eyes.

Y/n
"Good morning. You seemed to sleep well."

He smiles at you until it becomes a look of confusion. He looks away suddenly as though he realised something.

Y/n
"What? What is it, what's wrong??"

He doesn't look at you and just keeps his frown.

Bucky
"Did I stir, at all?"

You copy his thoughtful look as you try to recall any interruption to your sleep.

Y/n
"Um, no. Not that I can think of. Must have just been a quiet night, right?"

He looks back at you, softer than before. There's a subtle happiness on his face, mixed with the furrowed brow.

Bucky
"I don't think I had one..."

He gently shakes his head as you push yourself up to rest on your hands.

Y/n
"What?"

His smile begins to grow as he continues to search his memories for a nightmare.

Bucky
"I-I don't think I had a nightmare..."

He dips his head and gives a small laugh. You join him for a second, before you see his eyes grow pink and teary. He told you that he had a night like this when he was staying with Sam, but this is the first one since. You reposition so that you're sitting, facing him and cup his cheeks, wiping away a tear with your thumb.

Y/n
"Hey, look at me..."

He looks up with teary eyes, and a relieved smile.

Y/n
"Two down..."

He places one hand behind your neck and leans up into a kiss. You hold your hand over his and rest your other on his shoulder as he clasps your waist.

Bucky
"I love you."

Y/n
"I love you too."

You look at each other, forehead to forehead. You break the silence with one last laugh and a kiss, before embracing one another in a tight hug.
