When he gets a nightmare
(Italics are the dreams)
All he could do was watch. It was impossible for him to move. All he could do was watch you being tortured. It was worse than anything he had been through, yet he couldn't help you. He was stuck in another chair, being forced to watch you be on the edge of death.
Then, he was the one torturing you. He couldn't stop it. You would look at him with a plead for pity, but he wasn't able to stop himself. He was about to dip another knife into your sternum...
"Bucky! Wake up!" You were shaking him. He had been moving like he was struggling to get out of something and he was screaming.
He sat up abruptly. Once he had slowed his heart rate down, he said, "oh my god (Y/N), thank god you're okay. I'm so sorry. It was just a nightmare. I'm sorry."
You sat up next to him and began to rub circles on his back, in hopes to comfort him.
"It's okay. I'm fine, but I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Do you want to talk about it?" You said in a soft tone.
"I don't know. It was one of the worst ones though."
"Well maybe talking about it will help you get through it. But only if you want to."
"Yeah, you're right," He took a deep breath. "Well, it was me, stuck in a room, not able to move or speak. And you were there, but I could hear you. You were being tortured. And I couldn't do anything. All I could do was watch and listen. I tried, I tried so hard to help, but I couldn't." That's all he could say. He had no intention of telling her about the second part.
"Oh, Bucky, I'm sorry. But I know you will always be there to help me in real life. I know you can always save me. But that was just a dream and you know now that I'm here and safe. Okay?" You told him.
He smiled and nodded with a little relief, but he was still holding back because of the other part that happened.
You then laid back down, and Bucky followed, getting comfortable with you in his arms again.
"Here," you squeezed in closer. "Now you will hopefully remember that you are always my protector. I love you, Bucky."
He squeezed you in closer, "I love you, too."
He stayed awake for a while after that, with you asleep in his arms. All he could think about was when he was torturing you. But once he was able to relax, he looked at you, smiled, remembered what you said, and drifted off.
It was you and Bucky, on a balcony. Beautiful music playing in the background, with a beautiful view in front of you. He was holding you from behind and kissing your neck every once in a while. It was peaceful, romantic, and much better than the last scene that happened.
