Electric Love || Bucky Barnes X OC

Chapter 61

The next week was rough, I slept a lot and everyone came to visit me. They made me start getting up and moving around as well as starting some physical therapy for my leg. It hurt like hell and I cried through a lot of it but Bucky held my hand through all of it. He never left me and while it's probably unhealthy, I needed it. Luckily having a rich dad means I have a fancy private room with a shower so Bucky's been able to shower here, we get meals brought to us and they even got me a bigger hospital bed. Today was the first day they were going to let me shower and a nurse offered to help but Bucky wasn't having that. "I'd be happy to help you in the shower, you'll probably need it." She offered

"I've got it." Bucky told her

She looked at me as if asking if it was okay. "It's fine, he can help me." I assured

The nurse helped wrap up my cast and gave Bucky a few instructions of things to be careful of. Once the nurse was gone, Bucky reached his hands for me to help me out of bed. "Can you carry me?"

"Baby you know I can't, they said you have to walk around. You can use me instead of the walker if that makes you feel better."

"I don't want to walk. You've always carried me around even when I didn't want you to."

"I want to, I do but the doctor was clear that you have to be moving around and using your leg. Otherwise your muscles will continue to get weaker and it'll make it hard."

I felt the tears welling up in my eyes as I looked at him in front of me. "I can't."

He sighed heavily and pulled me in for a hug. "Doll, I know it hurts and I know you're tired but you have to try. Please just try for me."

"Okay."

I let him help me down off the bed and I used his arm instead of the walker. It took longer than it should've but we made it to the bathroom and he helped me sit down on the bench by the shower. He got the water and everything ready for me before coming back to help me strip off my clothes. For a moment I felt insecure being revealed in front of him where he could see every mark on my body. "Do you want to sit while you shower?"

"Can I please?"

"Yeah that's why they gave us a shower chair."

"Can you brush my hair before I get in? It's not been brushed in awhile and it's a bit tangled."

"Yeah, why didn't you say something sooner?"

"Because I'm embarrassed."

"About what?"

"I used to be hot and now I'm just a hot mess."

"I promise you, Mi, you're still hot. I'm here to take care of you even when it's embarrassing or hard. This is what you wanted right? This is what a boyfriend does?"

"Yeah it is but I've never experienced it so I don't know how to handle it."

"You take deep breaths and remember that I love you and I'm going to love you through everything. Every hard moment, every scare, every laugh, every happy moment and everything in between. So get over it and let me take care of you."

"Are you even still going to want to sleep with me after all of this?"

"Of course I will. Trust me, when you're ready I'm going to have my way with you for like a week straight. We've got lost time to make up for."

"I love you James."

"I love you more."

I laughed at him and he took that as an opportunity to grab a hair brush and start carefully brushing my hair. "It's bad isn't it?"
