Bucky and Y/N

Chapter 9

Nat brought down your sewing essentials, a makeup bag, your cute pyjamas and the pillows from your bed. She also sneaked Willow in with her bed and some soft toys. You decided that if Steve watched Bucky, that would be when you walked Willow, showered and got dressed.

The first night you got into your pj's and cuddled up next to him. Bruce had made the bed bigger, so I was comfortable. The medical team popped in occasionally to check Bucky's vitals. You cuddle up to him and whisper sweet nothings into his ear, stroking his cut and bruised cheek with your thumb. You eventually fell asleep next to him.
When you woke up the next day, you looked upon his face, and nothing had changed. Caressing his face, you heard footsteps and looked to the door to see who was walking in. Nat walked in and had a bowl for Willow and a plate of eggs for you!

Nat - still nothing?

Y/N - no.

Nat - Banner said it could take 24 hours, so we will see what happens today. Do you want me to stay here while you change? Or shower.

Y/N - I'll wait till Steve comes.

Nat - okay.

Y/N - Nat, I do trust you. But I told myself that if I were to leave him, it would only be when Steve was here.

Nat - I know you trust me, but Steve could be a while...

Steve then walks in. To both you and Nat looking surprised.

Steve - what? *walking over and kissing Nat* good morning

Nat - good morning. What are you doing up and walking?

Steve - Bruce saw me first thing and said everything looked healed. *holding Nat's from behind and turning to look at you* no change?

Y/N - not yet. But now that you are here, Steve, I need to shower, so can you watch Bucky for me?

Steve - Yeah, sure.

Y/N - thanks

You turn to Bucky, kiss him on the cheek, and grab your wash bag, underwear and some clothes. You take a shower and change. After putting on your makeup, you walk straight back to the room where Bucky is. Bruce and Dr Cho were in there checking on him, and Steve was staffing at the foot of Bucky's hospital bed, watching over everything they were doing. Nat is on the sofa looking through a couple of tops you had been making. You stood there and leaned against the door.

Y/N - what the verdict, Docs?

Bruce - Hi. Umm. Well... He is recovering, but it is just slower than we are used to. We know what to expect from Steve's Super-Soldier serum; we still are unsure about the one Hydra created. Unfortunately, neither Dr Cho nor myself can give you a definitive answer.

Steve - thanks. As long as he is recovering.

Bruce - I will come back and check on him in a few hours. If anything happens while I am gone, call me.

Y/N - Thanks to both of you.

Dr Cho - you're welcome.

They both leave, and you go and sit next to on the chair next to Bucky's bed and hold his hand. You were rubbing your thumbs over his knuckles. Willow joined you and lay her head on the bed to look at Bucky. For one moment, you forgot that Nat and Steve were still in the room till Nat spoke up.

Nat - Do you want Steve and me to take Willow for her walk? You can spend some time with Barnes.

Y/N - Steve, why don't you stay with him? I will go with Nat around the fields. We can get Wanda and make it a full girlie walk.
