Cuddle Bug (Bucky x reader)

Return to work

Bucky woke up first in the morning and gave a soft groan knowing what today was. You were starting back to work, and he still didn't like it. He knew you made the mission dockets better than Friday, but he just wasn't ready to start leaving the compound again either. He thought about how Tony upped all of the security protocols and tried to take solace in that, but it wasn't the same when he could keep his eyes on you. He pulled away from holding you momentarily to grab his phone and sent a quick text to Steve that he was canceling the morning run just for today. Steve just sent a thumbs up emoji, and he automatically knew Steve was likely anticipating this. Bucky rolled more onto his side, and pulled you flush against his body so he could just rub his hand up and down your back. He gave you a soft kiss on top of your head and you nuzzled more into his chest. Alpine and Aurora were both lying on the pillows and stuffed teddy bears behind you, both of them still fast asleep. Bucky just took in the moment and watched as the morning light filtered in through the blinds, creating a soft glow in the room. You gave a soft moan and slowly started to wake up close to when the alarm would usually go off. You slowly looked up at Bucky and he couldn't help but look down at you with a grin.
"Good morning" you said, your voice a little raspy.
"Good morning, beautiful" he whispered, dipping his head down to give you a lingering kiss on the lips.
"Did you already go for your run with Stevie?" you asked, feeling a little confused.
"I needed a morning with my dame," Bucky shook his head, pulling you flat against his body again.
"I should probably go grab a shower, I have my doctor appointment this morning, and work this afternoon" you gave a soft sigh.
"Just let me hold you for a moment" he whispered, a hint of urgency behind his voice. You didn't dare turn him down, but nuzzled into him again, letting him have a few minutes. You ran your hand up and down his back, and his arm where you could. He gave a soft sigh, and kissed you on top of your head again before he pulled back slightly. "Okay, thank you" he sighed again.
"I won't be long" you promised and you wriggled out of bed, heading to the bathroom without grabbing your robe. You went to use the facilities first before you jumped in the shower. You heard the door open while you were in there and looked through the glass door to see Bucky bringing in your robe, and grabbed a few clean towels for you and put them on the towel rack that was close to the shower door. He walked back out, and you assumed it was to go get dressed since he was still walking around naked.
When you got out you quickly dried off, and wrapped yourself in your robe before wiping off the mirror and getting started on your makeup. Bucky wandered in while you were in the middle of finishing up and he got up on the counter and watched you do your finishing touches.
"What is it?" you asked with a smile, finally giving him your full attention.
"You make that look like an art" he smirked in response. "I like watching you do it. I'm just sad you covered up all my kiss marks" he gave a slight pout.
"I left one" you gestured to your collarbone and he just bent forward and gave the spot a soft kiss. You saw he was dressed for the gym in all black and looked just as comfortable as when he was walking around the rooms naked. "Are you looking forward to the gym today?" you queried.
"It's the same thing everyday. It's getting kind of boring," he frowned.
"That will be changing soon" you promised, putting your makeup away. You leaned into him and gave him a soft kiss on the lips before you walked back out. You heard him jump off of the counter and follow you into the bedroom closet where he sat on top of the dresser and wiped the palms of his hands on his legs anxiously. "What's bothering you?" you finally asked as you put on dark blue undergarments, and then grabbed a pair of relaxed fit jeans.
"Nothing" he quickly lied, but you could see straight through it.
"Are you worried about me starting work again?" you asked softly, knowing you hit the nail on the head.
"I know you want to go back, it just feels too soon" he bit down on his bottom lip, and you couldn't help but find him adorable.
"It's been over a month," you easily reminded him. "It's time, my love" you grabbed the t-shirt with Bucky's emblem on the front and quickly put it on with a smile on your face. "See, you'll be with me all day" you stood between his legs and touched him on either side of his face. He gave a soft smile in response, and you leaned in to give him another soft kiss on the lips.
"May I walk you to breakfast, my lady?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows flirtatiously. You giggled and gave a quick nod before he slipped off the dresser in front of you and he pulled you in for another brief kiss. You hummed happily and let him lead you out of the closet. When you got to the living room, both cats were waiting by the suite door and Bucky opened it up for them, and the two of them ran out, heading down for their breakfast quickly.
