--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When will Stevie be back?" You ask Bucky as he brings you medicine, he shakes his head laughing slightly, he hands you the pills and a glass of water, "Asking me every five minutes won't make him be here any faster, plus you know he has to complete this mission before he is able to come home, doll." he says kissing your forehead, you pout taking the medicine "Why do these missions always have to come first? This one isn't even that important.", "Because Fury is a bitch." The brown haired super soldier states. "I want Steve." You complain handing him back the glass, "Why? Am I not good enough?" He teases pretending to be offended, making you laugh, he sets the glass of water on the nightstand and sits next to you on the bed, kissing your cheek softly.
You rest your head on his chest, nuzzling into him sleepily, "Go to sleep sweetheart, There is no point waiting up for him, it will only make the time go by slower." The sargent whispers into your ear, gently playing with your hair with his flesh hand and rubbing your back with his metal hand. "I'm not tired." you yawn in protest, "Doll, you are not fooling anyone, you are clearly exhausted, and your sick. You need rest." he whispers soothingly trying to get you to sleep, "No, Im fine." You protest, you sit up starting to have a coughing fit, Bucky pats your upper back, handing you the glass of water, you drink the water and finally stop coughing.
"Please baby, you haven't slept in 5 days, your only making yourself get sicker. I know you miss Steve, and I do too, and it's scary that he has been on such a dangerous mission for 3 weeks now and nobody knows when he will be back. And I know you feel like Fury is just being a asshole by having Steve and most of the other Avengers on this mission, especially when we don't even know if this is a real threat or not. But staying up for days on end isn't gonna help keep Steve safe, it's just putting your health at risk. Sweetheart, please let me take care of you." Bucky pleads.
For the first time since Steve left in this mission Bucky finally opened up to you about how he was feeling, you could tell he was just as worried about Steve as you were, after all that's your boyfriends life that could possibly be on the line for a false alarm, but unlike you Bucky bottled his fears up, you tried to help him but knew this is his way of dealing with things like this and you didn't want to push him or make him feel forced.
"Okay, if it will make you feel better I'll get some sleep as well as letting you take care of me." you agree giving into him, "Thank you babydoll." The blue eyed man says while kissing your forehead, he lays back on the bed, you nuzzling your head into the crook of his neck, as you fall asleep.
A couple hours pass of you peacefully sleeping on Bucky's chest, when Steve opens the bedroom door, "Im home." he says loudly causing you to stir, Bucky motions for Steve to be quite then motions for a hug, Steve carefully hugs Bucky, making sure not to wake you, "I missed you." Steve whispers, "I missed you too, i was scared you wouldn't come back." The long haired soldier murmurs, Steve kisses his forehead "I know it wad scary, but i could never leave you and Y/n. How have they been feeling?" the blond asked with concern for you, "This is the first I've been able to get them to sleep in about 5 days." The metal armed man informs him.
A couple more hours go by of you still sleeping, the super soldiers laying in bed cuddling you, and catching up on the past 3 weeks quietly.
You start to stir and cough in your sleep, the boys just shrug it off assuming your fine and it's just a cough, plus neither one wanted to wake you due to you being so sick the past week and a half, and not sleeping for almost a week. You continue to cough more and more violently, you quickly wake up, pulling away from the soldiers, running into the bathroom, the boys immediately follow you. Steve sits next to you, making sure to keep your hair out of you face as you throw up in the toilet, Bucky grabs a glass of water and a damp cloth. once you stop throwing up Steve pulls you into his chest and Bucky whipes your face with the cloth handing you the water, then flushing the toilet. You barely move, feeling too dizzy to, Steve helps you drink the water, "Thanks Buck.." you say weakly, you didnt notice it was Steve holding you due to your vision being to blury to see, "your welcome for the water and cloth, but im not the one holding you"
"Suprise" Steve whispers in your ear, you quickly turm to hug him, which just makes you more dizzy causing you to fall backwards, the captain caught you before you could hit the ground pulling you back into his chest, and the sargent rushed to your side. "Lucky you two are already on the floor or that could of ended very badly" Bucky says, you nod clinging to Steve. The blond picks you up using one hand to hold you the other to keep your head pressed in his chest, he carrys you to bed laying you down, you whine reaching for him, "one minute sweetheart" he walks away going to talk to Bucky, "Stevie come back.. and Bucky get over here.." you whine wanting your boyfriends, they both laugh.
Steve grabs a clean cloth running it under cold water before coming back putting it on your forehead, then cuddling with you. Bucky cleaned up the washroom before coming to bed, he climbed in bed and the three of you fell asleep snuggling each other.
