The Red Devil Bucky Barnes x male reader

a hint of shame

The shower incident was... slightly shameful to say the least, it definitely wasn't a sight you wanted Bucky to see or anyone else for that matter, what didn't help was how he treated you once he found you, a large part of you prayed he would just walk back out of the room and never speak of it again but instead he made sure that a towel was wrapped around your waist to protect your decency as he walked you back to your bed in the other room. Once he had sat you down he walked over to a set of drawers and brought you some clothes, he even then helped you get dressed in a respectful manner, very few words were exchanged the entire time and you weren't even sure if you were thankful for that or wether it made the situation worse for you, Bucky on the other hand didn't seem fazed by it at all, he acted as though this was a completely normal situation, no judgment or comments just respectful help, which felt so abnormal to you.

But now, now you were experiencinga mix of emotions for another reason, in about twenty minutes or so you would be going to a meeting, a meeting about you, around a table of god knows who all you could assume is that it would be at least you, Bucky and Fury but you knew it wouldn't be just the three of you so that ment there would be other people there and you had no idea who that would include, and that worried you, who would be there?, what were they going to talk about?, what would they ask you? and what did they want from you?

All you could hope is that your past wasn't brought up to frequently and they wouldn't press to far about what your past entailed and that this meeting wouldn't last too long, you really didn't fancy the idea of being there at all let alone for hours without any brakes.

You had no idea how long you had been sat in silence simply playing out the potential outcomes of the meeting in your head (so far none of them ended well), until all of a sudden your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Bucky knocking the door lightly as he slowly opend the door and walked in after shutting the door behind him, he walked towards you and stop about a few feet away

"You ready Red?"

"No"

"It won't be as bad as you think"

"How would you know?"

"I'm an ex hydra super solider too, I've attended my fair share of S.H.E.I.L.D meetings"

You didn't have much of a response to that, he had a point and you knew it, you almost forgot about the fact his history would be similar to yours exept for some parts like he wasn't actually from Russia and by the looks of it is a bit more capable of keeping himself together than you most likely more in control too.

Walking through the hallway to the other end where there was an elevator both you and Bucky stepped into it, next to the door was a stupid amount of un-numbered buttons as well as a small screen above them

Bucky pushed one of the buttons and the elevator immediately began going down, it still felt a lot to wrap your head around but it was easier to just protend it was all normal to you.

Finally you both made it to a conference room as the door opened everyone in the room turned to look in youqr direction

There were some people your recognised but some you didn't

You took a seat next to Bucky

Stood at one end of the table was a man with an eye patch

You knew him to be Fury

Sat oposit you was Bruce who offered you a polite smile, next to him and oposit to Bucky was Steve who was now in a quiet conversation with Bucky, on the other side of Steve was a red head, her head was tilted slightly in an inquisitive manner and a small simile sat on her lips as she looked at you, she was dangerous you could tell, there was also a S.H.E.I.L.D agent sat at the other end of the table, you could tell he was an agent due to what he was wearing.
