Summary: Prompt "You came to my room at 4am to cuddle."
Ever since Bucky had come and joined the Avengers Y/n had been there for him. It had been surprisingly easy for Bucky to trust Y/n. He didn't know her but for some reason he felt he could trust her with his life and freedom.
The two became extremely close. They both talked about their problems and nightmares. Bucky from his time as a HYDRA experiment and all the horrific things they made him do. For Y/n it was her past, her life before joining the Avengers. They could understand each other in ways the others couldn't.
Normally when one of them had a nightmare or couldn't sleep they seeked out the other.
Tonight Bucky had fallen asleep somewhat early but had been woken by a pericutally bad nightmare. He couldn't get back to sleep. At least not on his own.
Y/n was laying in bed watching t.v. she had been trying to sleep since she went to bed, but something just felt off. Then suddenly there was a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in."
Bucky entered with her permission, once in her room Bucky saw y/n laying on her bed under the covers. "Hey, you're still up?"
Y/n smirked sitting up a little. "You know I could ask you the same."
"I asked first." Bucky smiled teasingly.
"Can't sleep. I don't know why, something just feels off." Y/n shrugged, not really knowing the answer herself. But she felt more relaxed now that Bucky was so close in distance. "What about you?"
Bucky shrugged back, avoiding eye contact. "Same olds, you know."
"Come here." Y/n patted the bed side next to her, pulling back the covers. Y/n felt for him, she knew how he was feeling and going through. "You're sleeping here tonight."
Bucky walked over to her bed after shutting the bedroom door. Bucky took off his hoes and climbed into bed. Y/n cuddled up into him, hugging her super soldier tight.
Bucky chuckled, feeling her tight hold. "You gonna keep me hostage in your bed, doll?"
"You came to my room at 4am to cuddle." Y/n smiled teasing him. Even though there was a lot of truth in her teasing. Cuddling up with y/n wasn't just nice but he didn't seem to have nightmares when they slept in the same bed. If they were touching boths, anxiety seemed to wash away.
"That's how you see it?" he asked playfully, wrapping his arms around her as well.
"Yes." She nodded, smiling at him from her spot tucked into his side.
Bucky smiled widely, tightening his arms around her, as if that was possible. "That's fine with me, doll."
"Good cause you're not leaving." Y/n snuggled into his side, arms around his torso ready to finally get some good sleep. Now with Bucky by her side.
"No place I'd rather be." Bucky whispered before kissing her head and he went to sleep.
