Dark Nights

Bucky's POV:

I am pulled from my peaceful sleep by Natalia's cry's. She must be having another nightmare. I am not sure why, but she has been having horrible nightmares lately, and this seems to be the the worst one.

"Natalia, Natalia!" I try calling out to her, to wake her up.

Her cry's just keep getting louder, and she starts calling out for help in her sleep.

"Natalia wake up love, your safe," I say, shaking her body, trying my hardest to pull her out of her nightmare.

After ten more minutes of trying to wake her up. She jumps up to a sitting position, while trying to catch her breath. She looks around and starts to panic, she must think she is somewhere else.

"Natalia, your ok love, your safe, here at the compound," she starts to realize where she is, but her breath starts to quicken, and soon enough she is struggling to breathe.

I pull her into my lap, and place her head on my chest, this usually helps calm her down.

"Follow my breathing love," I tell her.

"I-I-I can-n't b-b-bre-eath," she manages to choke out, in between tears.

"Follow my breath," I tell her again, while I start taking deep breaths.

"I-I ca-an't," she says while sobbing.

Eventually her breathes start to even out, and she can breathe normally again. But she is still crying, and panicking over her nightmare.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask.

"N-no," she mumbles under her breath.

"Ok," I say, knowing she will talk to me when she is ready.

We sat in a peaceful silence, the only sound being her little hiccups. After about thirty minutes of me holding her she has finally calmed down.

"Th-hey to-ook y-you away again," she managed to get out.

"I'm right here love, and I'm not going anywhere I promise," I assure her.

She digs her face into the crook of my neck, and wraps her arms around my neck. We sit there like that for quite a while. She had already fallen asleep, but I didn't want to risk waking her. After that panic attack, she needs the rest. I eventually fell asleep with the love of my life in my arms. I woke up the next morning to find Natalia still asleep in the exact same position as last night.

Soon after I wake up she starts to stir. I sit there a little longer, hoping she will go back to sleep. Unfortunately she woke up, and looked up at me with her swollen puffy eyes, from crying. But the emerald green still shown through.

I place my hand on her cheek, and give her a kiss on the lips which she happily returned.

"Good morning love," I greet.

She responds by shoving her head into my chest.

I kiss the back of her head, and we sit there a little while.

"I'm hungry," she says quietly, while sitting up and looking at me.

"What would you like to eat?" I ask.

"Pancakes?" She asks.

"Anything for my love," she gives me the biggest smile I've seen from her in a while.

"Let's go make some pancakes," I say.

"Carry me?" She asks, while making her grip around my neck a little tighter.

I roll my eyes jokingly as I stand up. She wraps her legs around my waist, and we head to the compounds kitchen.

As we walk in I set her on the counter, so I can make some pancakes.

She gives me puppy eyes when I set her down.

"I'm making you pancakes," I tell her to try and get her to stop with the puppy eyes. They are so damn irresistible.

"Ugh?" She groans in frustration, but accepting defeat.

After we eat some breakfast, I carry her back to our room, and we cuddle for the rest of the day.

Cuties;)
