It was just one hit after another. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. It was supposed to be a great Christmas. You had planned on making it back to the compound just before any festive things happened. A simple mission, in and out, with Bucky.
But the snow set in too fast, leaving you and Bucky racing for a cabin. a safe house of Tony's, in order to wait out the storm. For a moment you thought that the heavy powder would let up but the fifth hour. Little did you both know, the weather wasn't going to be kind to you, leaving snow to build upon all the exists and roads for miles.
"Well Guess it's just you and me Doll." James smiled while staring out the window at all the built up snow. That was only two days ago now... You've been stuck with him, and everything that could go wrong went wrong. Power out for a couple hours, the water system running cold for a day and to top it off, you fell over from melted snow seeping out one of the kitchen windows that was left opened, leaving you with a sprained shoulder and bruised leg, open top of your already formed injuries from the ambush you had in the mission. Bucky lit a fire in the fireplace to keep the house alight —thank god the heating was still working—. He went around lighting all the candles he could find, making the cabin glow in a light orange hue.
He told you to go for a shower to help your sprain but when you tried taking off your clothes you couldn't get your shirt over your head. Everything was so wrong, and all you wanted was a perfect Christmas but all you got was being stuck with a guy you had a huge crush on since you were a trainee and sore limbs. You contemplated for a while, leaning against the sink, in your underwear and shirt hooked off one arm. Tears breaking from your eyes, you hiccupped before calling out.
"Bucky....Jammeeesss!!!!" You called louder the second time in hopes you can get his attention. He came immediately stopping right outside the bathroom door.
"Doll...You okay." He held out the door handle, calling out the nickname he gave when since you first met. He could hear your sniffles, and feel the vibrations of your heartbeat on his ears, wanting nothing more than to help you. But you had to give him permission to come inside first.
"Buck...I need you—" You didn't even finish your sentence before Bucky stepped inside. Concern filled in his eyes. You look up at him with glossy tears, making him wipe your cheeks with a soft smile. He could immediately tell you were in need of help, running his thumb over your puffy cheek.
"I'm going to take this off now okay, try and not tense." His voice was soft and reassuring. His hands graze over your skin as he pulls the fabric slowly off your body. Your cheeks redden with blush, feeling embarrassed that this was how Bucky was going to see you naked for the first time. But his eyes never left yours, keeping a serious yet comforting expression the whole time. His fingers hook on your panties non-verbally asking if you were okay. You nod as he finished undressing you. Your arm wrapped over your chest, as he turns to put the water on making sure it's warm enough for you to enter without hassles.
"Thank you." You whisper, going to step into the shower but you step on your sore leg, sending a sharp pain through your thigh. You hiss you, falling slightly before Bucky caught you, gripping tight on your waist.
"Hey, it's okay..." He begins to speak but stops as he starts stripping himself, leaving on only his boxers. He steps into the shower, holding you close with him. The water hit your bareback, making you let out a sigh. Your good hand gripped his shoulder, while the other sits on his chest, holding yourself up. He begins to wash you, pouring your vanilla soap on your body. He took his time, being careful not to hurt you. Your tears made your eyes puffy and cheeks red, but all Bucky could see was beauty. Every curve, every blemish, every stretch mark and bruise. You were perfect to him. He loved you so much, and his ego was boosted at the fact you were letting him help you. This moment was sensual, something only two people that deeply in love with one another would do. Yet you were comfortable enough to allow him to see it.
"Doll listen I'm not just saying this cause, ah...I'm currently standing in the shower with you..." He blabbered, a tint of red fanning over his cheeks. "I-I've kinda had a crush on you and I think this was the most...uh best time than ever...I guess what I...I just—Bucky stop." You cut him off, chuckling lightly as the soap washes off your body.
"I like you to idiot, but you seriously have the worst timing..." You laughed, leaning your face against his chest. His hands snaked around your waist, pulling you closer, leaving a light kiss on your forehead feeling butterflies erupt in his stomach.
"I guess being stuck together wasn't so bad after all."
