You and Bucky are currently taking a drive back to the compound with a comfortable silence settling between the two of you.

Said silence was interrupted once you spoke, or more likely slurred, after all your mouth was stuffed with gauze. "Your shoulders are so large!" you place your hand on his biceps "I wonder if my shoulders are that big too." you brows furrow in thought.

"Are you single?" you spoke quickly, due to the local anesthetic, you seem to be sedated.

He stifles a chuckle "no doll, I am not single." Bucky spares you a quick glance before his eyes look back to the road.

"That's too bad..." your words were tongue-tied, "I was gonna ask for your number," you dramatically slump in your seat, showcasing a large frown on your face.

This time, Bucky doesn't try too hard to stifle his laughter, "I'm not single doll, in fact I am with a very beautiful woman." the traffic lights glow red as the car stops slowly, he takes this chance to properly look at you.

"Aww," you sadly whine.

"Don't be sad Y/N/N, yes I am with someone very beautiful. You." he grins at your reaction.

The corners of your lips turn up into a grin, matching his as you slowly realize his words, "Oh that's great! Does this mean I don't have to ask for your number anymore?" you ask with a sheepish smile forming on your lips as the red traffic light turns green and the car starts moving.

"Yes love, you don't need to anymore" he chuckles

A few minutes occur before you speak up again, complaining about the pain.

"My teeth hurts," you whimper as Bucky looks at you sympathetically,

"I know, doll, I'm sorry but you can't take any more meds my love."

" 'm sleepy," you mumble, your eyes slowly blinking as the painkillers slowly take effect.

"You can sleep doll," he smiles gently as you slowly doze off.

Bucky notices you stirring on your bed as you slowly wake up.

When the drive from the clinic to the Compound was over, he picked you up bridal style from your seat, and took the elevator up to your's and his floor. He gently places you down on the bed, and leaves you alone for a very short period of time to get your purse, as he wanted to make sure he was there when you woke up to get you whatever you needed.

Your eyes slightly open, immediately feeling the pain in your teeth, noticing that you are back in your shared room with Bucky. The lights were open yet dimmed to the lowest setting as Bucky wanted to make sure the lights weren't gonna be too bright for you when you woke up. You're currently facing the right window on your bedroom that shows all of New York as you pat the spot beside you being greeted by coldness instead of your man's body.

You feel more conscious and in the right state of mind than before as the anesthesia had probably worn out by now. Which also explains how you're currently feeling right now.

Like shit.

You softly turn around to face behind you, checking to see if your Bucky is somewhere in the room.

You were happy to see him sitting on the couch across the bed with one of your books in his hand. His eyes were already on you, gazing as if you were a perfect painting.

"Stalker much?" Your voice was hoarse, it was quite hard to speak with the gauze in your mouth.

"I heard you moving on the bed," he smiles at you, "do you need anything my love? " he offers and your heart soars at how much he cares for you.

"My head and teeth hurt," you cried. He hates it when you are in any sort of pain, may it be mentally or physically, he'll make sure that you'll always get the best care and get you everything to make you cheer up.

He slowly gets up from the couch, carefully setting the book down back on the shelf, and making his way to you, gently sitting down on the space beside you. "I need to remove the gauze first love,"

"Open," he refers to your mouth, carefully taking out the bloody gauze and throwing it on the trash can by the bedside table.

He makes you drink some water before taking the medicine in which you follow.

He takes the bottle of painkillers and shakes one out. He hands a pill to you and the glass of water, you take the pill from his hand and put it into your mouth and wash it down by drinking water.

You set the glass down on the bedside table, and he puts back a new set of gauze in your mouth.

"What else do you need Y/N/N?" he softly brushed a strand of your hair away from your face, tucking it in your ear.

You move a little bit to the side, making space for Bucky to cuddle with you.

You take the warm, large cashmere blanket into your hands, lifting it up for Bucky to scoot into.

"Cuddle and watch a movie with me?" he lights up at the offer. You are the only person who he shows his clingy side to, yet he remains completely unbothered by it.

"Of course doll," he lies down on his back as you gently lay down your head on his chest. There is no place else that feels safer than being wrapped in his embrace...

You raise your head to look at him with love swarming in your eyes.

"Thank you for always taking care of me Buck."

"Always, doll."
