This is just from my tumblr so sorry but I'm not trusting Wattpad to save things right now.
His hand tangled in your hair, your hand tightly holding his metal one, wondering if he could feel your touch.
He leans closer, his breath warm on your cheek before he whispers in your ear.
"Close your eyes and Listen."
Your eyes flickering shut you are only aware of Bucky. His strong presence before you, his hand now on your back, reassuring you. He won't let you get hurt.
And so, overcoming your fear of helplessness, you listen. Eyes closed, completely trusting him.
You listen to the rhythmic beating of his heart. Pat pat. Pat pat. Pat pat.
Alive.
"Can you hear the birds, (y/n)?"
You can. Their calling echoing across the trees below the cliff on which you stand. You listen to the gurgling of the water, running down the narrow stream by which the two of you stand.
"Bucky, listen to the water."
You feel his thumb run along your cheek, tracing the line of your cheekbone.
"It's beautiful."
Even with your eyes closed, you know he's smiling, which in turn makes you smile too. Your muscles feel different under the touch of his thumb. The fact that he can feel your smile makes your heart beat faster.
You place your hand on his cheek, feeling him grin as you do so, his muscles under your fingers.
"I can feel you smile." The words unneeded, but still you use them.
"Good."
You're aware of him leaning closer, your skin tingling before he closes the space between you and presses his lips to yours.
You smile wider and he reciprocates.
When he pulls away, you open your eyes. It's nice to see him. So happy.
"That gave me a better feeling." Bucky says, tracing tiny circles on your cheek with his thumb.
"I love you, beautiful." He smiles, his eyes bright, and that alone makes you happy.
