The Grey - Steve Rogers + Bucky Barnes X OC Love Story

Chapter 29

Bucky woke up, seeing the sun hadn't even risen yet, but it would soon. So he carefully slipped out of bed, heading to grab a few things for Victoria. But he also wanted the two of them to get to be alone, hoping they'd see how badly they missed each other if they woke up together. But it was hard for him to want to be away from her, he realized as soon as he was out of bed, he missed her warmth. He already anticipated this becoming a problem, because now he was hooked on her and she belonged to someone else.

Steve woke up hours later, hearing someone come into his apartment. He was still tightly holding onto Victoria while she slept against his chest, her arm loosely around his torso. He saw Bucky come into his room with a small bag.

"What are you doing?" Steve asked quietly. Bucky held up the items in the bag. He had water, Plan B, prenatals, pads and Tylenol. "There's sprite in the fridge, too." Bucky said

"Those don't really go together." Steve said with a quiet laugh, hoping to let Victoria sleep as long as she needed.

"Well, it's her choice." Bucky said quietly with a shrug, he put the items on the nightstand by Victoria.

"You know if she takes that, she's going to be sick for a few days, right?" Bucky asked quietly. Steve nodded and looked down at Victoria in his arms. "I'll stay with her." He promised.

"So will I. Whatever she wants." Bucky admitted. "So, is she leaving Noah?" He asked.

"I don't know, she didn't say." Steve admitted. "I hope so."

"I do too, you two need to get back together." Bucky said quietly. Steve rolled his eyes at his friend. "I screwed that up, I just want her to be happy." Steve said with a small sigh.

"She's happy with you, idiot." Bucky said, rolling his eyes at his friend. Even though it killed him to say it. He knew last night was a one time thing, but he already wished it wasn't.

"I'll make up a lie, text me if she needs anything before I get back." Bucky said before Steve could respond, walking out of the apartment.

Steve kept his arms around Victoria while she slept, laying back against the pillows and closing his eyes. He just laid there, enjoying the feeling of her sleeping peacefully in his arms.

Bucky had headed down to the lab to see Tony.

"Whats up, Robocop?" Tony asked as he worked on his computer. Bucky leaned on the doorframe. "Vic won't be in today." Bucky said. Tony immediately stopped working and looked up at him, worried.

"Why? Is she okay?" He asked frantically.

"She came in early to spar, but she looked like shit so I brought her upstairs. She's asleep on Steve's couch right now." Bucky quickly lied.

"Does she need to see Bruce? What's wrong with her? I should go check.." Tony said, he stood up to head upstairs but Bucky put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.

"She's fine, she's just been training a lot lately. She looked like she needed the sleep, Steve offered to look after her." Bucky reassured him.

"She has, is she considering joining the team? Is that why she's been sparring so much lately? I told her to work with the kid, but she's been working with you and Capsicle everyday too." Tony mentioned.

"I don't know. I hope so." Bucky said with a shrug. "I just wanted you to know, she was out cold before we even made it to the elevator so I wasn't sure if she'd wake up to call you."

"I'll text her and tell her to take as many days off as she needs." Tony said with a sad sigh, moving to his computer again to continue working. "So, why do you call her Vic? Everyone calls her Tori besides Steve. She doesn't let anyone else call her that." Tony mentioned.
