Bucky Barnes - The darkness part 2

SMASH!

I jolt up from my bed, sweat running down my forehead

"What the fuck was that?" My brain thought.

Thinking it was nothing, I thought that I should still take precautions just in case it was something serious.

I sit upright in my bed and carefully listened out for anything but I hear nothing and my eyes droop, they clearly have other and better plans than my paranoia.

It's probably nothing, stop freaking out woman

I flop back into my bed, pull my covers back up to my chin and sigh peacefully awaiting the dreams to come.

SMASH

Ok, I definitely heard it that time and I refused to go back to bed.

I got up from my bed and put on some pyjama shorts and a hoodie over my singlet.

It's adnormally cold in here, I usually leave the heater on overnight...

I walk to my door and grab onto my door handle.

Suddenly my door open and I scream. My hand grabs onto my chest but calms when I am met with the winter soldier in front of me.

I laughed lightly and looked up at him, he was in a long black sleeve compression top that I had went out and brought for him along with some old black pants I found in the back of my draws. The top showed his right human and and then showed his left metal arm.

His mask was completely off and his blue eyes were shimmering into mine.

"Omg you scared me," I laughed quietly.

"Sorry" he muttered.

"Hey um, was that you um... knocking things over?" I looked at him awkwardly.

The winter solider furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me funny.

"No... I thought that was you so I came in to make sure you were ok..." He looked concerned and puzzeled.

"Wait- so if it wasn't you... then who else would it have been..." I look around behind the man and his eyes widen.

Every quickly but quietly he pushes his way in my room and shuts my door then locks it and pushes me to my balcony in my room.

"Hey-" I try to yell but his human hand swipes over mouth just as he did a days ago when I first met him.

He had been staying with me for 5 days now, nearly a week and I have had no intruders or S.H.I.E.L.D come in and take him away.

Over the days we got to know eachother, though he was quiet he still told me a few things, like how he finally remembered his name was Bucky. Bucky Barnes and so I started calling him Bucky.

He lifts he metal arm and raises a finger to his lips, bringing me bakc from my day dream. He was telling me to keep my mouth shut.

I nod, aknowledging that I had to be quiet and he removed his hand from my mouth, his pinky brushing over my lips ever so slightly.

His head turns to the door and he sits up to go inspect it, but I grab his arm and pull him down.

"What are you doing? There could be intruders in this house!" I whisper yell.

He looks at me and squats down to my eye level again.

"I told you that I would not harm you in anyway, I'm just trying to uphold that promise." I swear that I see a faint smile before he stands back up.
