Stucky One Shots

Comforting Words

Bucky jolted upright, the screams still echoing in his ears. The memories of his actions as the Winter Soldier haunted him. Bucky pulled his legs into his chest, his head resting in his hands as he tried to calm himself, it wasn't really working. All he felt was the weight of his actions and the guilt pressing down on him, making it feel like and elephant was sitting on his chest. Unwillingly, tears started to fall down Bucky's face.

Steve heard soft crying, he woke up immediately. He saw his husband, Bucky, in a distressed state. His ragged, gasping, breaths gave away that he was having a panic attack and was crying.

"Buck," Steve said softly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder."What's wrong?"

"It's just-" He struggled to get the words out."A nightmare- Nothing- To- Worry about."

Steve sighed, Bucky always tried to hide his struggles. Steve pulled his husband into a hug. "What was it about?"

"Everything," Bucky whispered meekly.

"It's okay to feel you know," Steve comforted him,"I'm always here for you. I'm sorry you had a nightmare. I love you."

Bucky started crying more. Steve's comforting words were slowly breaking down Bucky's walls. Bucky let himself be vulnerable, he let Steve in.

"Steve," Bucky's voice was barely above a whisper,"I'm scared."

"About what honey?"

"Losing control," Bucky admitted,"I'm afraid of losing you."

"You'll never lose me Buck," Steve smiled at him,"I'm with you 'till the end of the line."

"I love you."

"I love you more." Steve laid both of them down, settling to go to bed in each other's arms. 

As Bucky started to fall asleep, Steve played with Bucky's hair. Steve knew how much Bucky loved the way it felt. Steve felt Bucky shift closer to him. God, he loved him.
