The past week has been unbelievably boring. I've been practically twiddling my thumbs and losing my mind. Y/n and Steve were sent on a mission to watch a workhouse supposably taken over by ex-hydra agents. They were instructed to leave all contact devices at the compound, so it's been complete radio silence from them. It's been absolute torture.

Right now, I'm practically running to Y/N's room after finding out she and Steve are on their way back. As I open her door, I don't even think about what I'm going to do. I'm just excited to finally see her. The little amount of light outside shines through her curtains into her dim room as I sit down on her bed. After a few minutes, I start looking around her room. I've been in here before, but I've never had the time to admire it. It's unbelievably clean and decorated. Scattered all over her cream walls are pictures of her family before she was taken by the red room. She is a spitting image of her mother with her long hair tied back in a high ponytail and her piercing eyes staring back at me. I feel a sinking feeling of pity as I look at the variety of family photos. She really has struggled. I walk past her dresser with flower pots and plants designed on top of it. Above the dresser are shelves with artificial plants, small picture frames with photos of the Avengers in them, and books. I pull out a copy of a modern Hobbit and scan over the design of the book. As I walk back and sit on her bed, I start to read the book. Time passes fast as I speed through the pages.

Eventually, I hear the door knob turn and the door slowly open. I straighten my back and place the book beside me. She walks through the door and turns on the lights, illuminating the room. When she sees me, she gets startled and her hand flies to her heart.

"Jesus Christ, Buck! You scared the shit out of me." She says after controlling her heavy breathing.

"Sorry doll." I smirk as I see a small smile creep on her face at the nickname.

"What are you doing sitting in the dark?"

Shit. This does look a bit weird not that I look at it. I honestly didn't expect to be distracted by the book and end up sitting in her room in the dark.

"Waiting for you." I playfully put on a creepy voice, trying to avoid her question.

"You're such a dork." She whispers.

She limps over to her wardrobe and stumbles over her own feet. I quickly jump up from her bed and grab her arm and hold her up. I look down at her with my eyebrows raised.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Got stabbed in the leg during the mission." She answers too casually for my liking. So, I wrap one of my arms around her waist and the other I intertwine in her fingers as we walk into her bathroom. When we walk through the door, I let go of her hand and wrap both of my hands around her waist and lift her onto the counter. Quickly, I start looking around the room for something to clean her leg with.

"There's a first aid kit in the cabinet over there." She points to a small cabinet beside the bathtub.

I rummage through the cabinet and eventually find it, pull it out and place it next to her on the counter. Once all the supplies are out that I need, I look up at her with a questioning look.

"Can I?" I ask as I point to her jeans. She nods her head.

I carefully unbutton her jeans and pull them down her waist when she lifts herself slightly off the counter with the help of my spare arm. Once I see that it has already been cleaned up, probably by Steve, I grab the bandages and small metal scissors.
