Living Nightmare

Chapter Eighteen

"Can I borrow your phone?"

"Of course, doll" Bucky hands it to you. "Why do you need it?"

You swipe to open the camera. You sigh at yourself. Bucky realises what you're doing. You look at him.

"You know when people ask the hypothetical question would you still love me if I was in a car accident and my face got all fucked up?"

Bucky knows what's coming. "Mhm."

"Do you still love me even though I was in a car accident and my face is all fucked up?" you joke, but Bucky hears a hint of pain in your voice.

"Your face is not all fucked up doll. You have nothing to worry about. You are still my beautiful angel and I love you more than anything."

"Even with these hideous cuts?"

"They'll heal."

"They'll scar."

"Yeah but that'll be a pretty awesome scar, don't you think?"

"Maybe" you smile. You look back at the phone. Bucky watches you tap the screen until your smile morphs into a frown.

"What are you doing now, doll?"

"Uber eats doesn't deliver to a hospital" you look sadly at him.

"Hungry?" he smiles back.

"Mhm."

"Let's get you food then."

Bucky moves to sit next to you on the bed. He puts one arm around you and takes the phone back with the other. You watch as he texts Steve to pick up some dinner for everyone and come join you.

Only ten minutes later, the Avengers are at the door with McDonalds.

"You were quick" Bucky comments as they fill the room.

"We thought you might be getting hungry so we were already picking it up" Sam says to Bucky, then he looks at you. "Hey trouble. Got your happy meal." He hands it to you. "Extra happy."

"Thanks Sam."

"You feeling alright?"

You take a large sip of your vanilla milkshake. "Yup."

"Great."

Everyone sits down and eats with you. You finish your meal. And half of Bucky's. And all the fries at the bottom of the bag. No one's currently talking to you, so you snuggle up against Bucky. He puts his arm around you and gently kisses your forehead. He returns to his conversation with Steve. You quickly pass out.

About twenty minutes later, Tony notices you asleep and suggests that they make a move. "Do you know when you can come home?" he asks.

"The doctor says they want to keep her overnight for observation, but if all is okay then we can come home tomorrow morning."

"Great. We will see you in the morning then" Tony smiles. All the Avengers say goodbye and leave.

You wake up at the sound of the doors closing. You tiredly sit up.

"It's okay y/n, you can go back to sleep" Bucky says.

"Where'd everyone go?"

"They've gone home. We'll see them tomorrow."

"Okay."

You lie down. Bucky lies down next to you, lying his head on your shoulder and his arm draped across your stomach. You place a kiss in his hair. He yawns.
