Stucky One Shots

Number One- Needle Marks

"I don' wanna!" Bucky whines, pulling away from the doctor with tears on his face. His younger sister Becca watches him, starting to cry herself. His father sighs and kneels beside him.

"James, you have to get your flu shot. You don't want to get sick, now, do you?" He asks in his soothing voice and Bucky sniffs, squirming more on the hard, plastic seat.

"I don't wanna!" He wails loudly, crying even more as the doctor reaches forwards with the sharp needless again. The father sighs as he brushes Bucky's tears away. He loved his children, and it had been so hard for them ever since he'd lost his dearest wife Winifred. He tried to give his children an easy life, but... well, children will be children, and they will be difficult.

"Doctor Faustus?" A female voice calls and the somewhat irritated doctor looks up.

"Ms. Rogers and her boy for his shots." The nurse informs before quietly leaving. The doctor sighs and stands up.

"Can we talk outside for a moment, Mr. Barnes?" He asks Bucky's father, who nods in return. The doctor goes out to talk to Ms. Rogers as well and Mr. Barnes follows him out. The doctor ushers Ms. Rogers' boy inside and a small, sickly blonde boy with big blue eyes comes in.

He lowers himself down onto the chair and puts his hands in his lap. Bucky sniffs and looks at him, he wipes his eyes.

"First time getting shots?" The blonde asks and Bucky nods a little, eyes still shining with tears. He nods in response and leans forward in his chair, his blonde hair flopping over his left eye.

"I've had tons of shots before." He says and Bucky watches him, brown eyes wide.

"How much?" He asks.

"I've had more than five." He replies and Bucky's eyes widen more.

"Wow. Did it hurt?" He asks and the blonde shrugs.

"A little." He admits and Bucky shifts in his seat.

"Don't worry about it. Just think of something else, something that makes you happy." He suggests and Bucky chews on his bottom lip a little.

"Okay. I'm Bucky." He introduces shyly.

"I'm Steve." The blonde says and the brunette nods shyly. He offers a hand out and Steve takes it, they shake hands before pulling away once more. Bucky looks up as the door creaks open, showing the three adults coming in.

Ms. Rogers kneels beside Steve and runs a hand through his hair, and Doctor Faustus finishes talking to Mr. Barnes, Bucky's dad.

"Well, are you ready?" Doctor Faustus asks and Bucky looks worried for a moment. Steve takes his hand and Bucky glances over at him. Steve smiles encouragingly at him and Bucky takes in a slow breath. He nods a little.

Doctor Faustus moves the needle and Bucky squeezes Steve's hand as the needle goes in, but then it was out before he knew it. He opens his eyes and looks at Steve, who smiles again. The brunette relaxes and gets up from his chair, Mr. Barnes ruffles his hair and Becca hugs him.

"Thanks, Steve." Bucky says shyly, smiling. The blonde smiles back and nods.

"C'mon, Bucky." Mr. Barnes hums, gently leading him out. Bucky turns and waves to Steve before walking out with his family, chatting. Steve smiles to himself, watching him walk out.

"Well, he seemed like a nice boy." Ms. Rogers comments as Steve slowly breathes out, Doctor Faustus leaning back with the now empty needle. Steve nods shyly.

"He is." He replies, smiling. Ms. Rogers leans down and kisses his cheek, he hugs her and she smiles softly. She takes his hand and together they walk out.
