*Soldiers P.O.V*

    In simple terms . . . I managed to get shot.

You're doing a lot of reckless things lately get it together
Shut it! I know!

Nyx had my metal arm around her as she kicked open the door to the safe house where we were staying for this mission. My real arm went to the wound on my abdomen where it was quickly bleeding all over. I tried to not groan in pain too much in fear of worrying her. She gently placed me on the bed and walked off mumbling things in different languages.

"Este pendejo que se sigue haciendo daño n. . ." (Stupid fuck's a danger to himself)
I roll my eyes. "Il est tellement stupide parfois!" (He can be so stupid sometimes) In French now great! How will that help?! Nyx returns with a first aid kit. "Sit up," she commands and I do as she says. That feels vaguely familiar

     She gets a pair of tweezers and forcefully shoves a large piece of cloth in my mouth. I make a noise to protest but a look from her shuts me up. "Ich sollte deinen Arsch aufhören zu speichern. Erste toomany Opfer ! Jetzt das? Sie couldve gestorben !" (I should stop saving your ass. First too many casualties! Now this? You couldve died!)
I raise an eyebrow at her. Nyx gets out needle and thread and starts to suture me up. I don't regret the rag in my mouth at all now. This hurts like a bitch and I don't bother holding back any slight screams.

Regret jumping in front of that bullet now?
Not at all

     "Тебе повезло, что пуля не ударил ничего серьезного," (You're lucky that bullet hit nothing major) she said without looking at me. "Почему вы делаете эти вещи!" (Why do you do these things) I chuckled at her and winced as I responded, "Потому что я тебя люблю" (Because I love you)
Nyx stopped suturing me and blinked a couple times. She sighed and continues working not ever looking me in the eye. "Don't say things you wouldn't normally say if you weren't bleeding." She finished and walked to the bathroom to clean her hands.

Was that a smart thing to say? I meant it with every fiber of my being but what if she doesn't? I have to make sure she knows I'm serious. That I would die for her. Literally
I sit up painfully yet careful not to tear any of her handiwork. "I meant it, you know," I tell her from where I'm sitting. Nyx dries her hands and takes a seat next to me on the bed. She so beautiful.

*~~ flashback~~*

     There was a girl that I had my arm around and I was absentmindedly playing with a stand of her dark hair.
'I'm always gonna protect you,' I thought

*~~ end of flashback~~*

     I blinked and came back to reality. What the hell was that? Who the hell was that
I have no idea how but she looked so familiar. She looked like Nyx. Only younger and more carefree. Was that me with her? Probably the blood loss is making me go crazy. . .

     "Soldier?" She said snapping me out of it. "Hm?" I turned to face her again. "Are you even listening?" She starred. "I said, 'Do you actually?'" Her eyes were pleading with hope. My real hand went to play with a strand of hair just like in that strange episode I just had. "Of course I do." She took my hand from her hair and held it tightly in her lap. She seemed very interested as she looked at them and not to me when she spoke. "How can I know that for sure? We're just soldiers on command waiting for our next task. How can I know that you won't kill me if its ordered. Can you love me enough not to?"

She makes a point. Are you willing to defy hydra for her? If she were my mission would I carry it out?

     I felt a tear dripping down to my hand from her face. That's why she wasn't looking at me. "Nyx, look at me," I say putting that same hand on her cheek. She does and I look into her watery eyes. "I'm scared, Soldier," she confesses. "I'm scared that I'll grow too close to you and that one day one of us will have to let go. I'm scared hydra will make us go against each other. I don't want us to kill each other but what if we have no choice?"
Her tears are flowing freely now. "Nyx," I start. "I love you and no matter who gets in the way. Whether it be hydra or anyone else. I choose to be with you over them any day. I would destroy hydra if I had to for you." She just started at me with her mouth slightly open.

Look who's compromised for sure now
I said shut it!

     "Also, if you don't believe me, I just took a bullet for you," I joked. "If that doesn't say 'I love you'd don't know what does." She laughed and kissed my hand.
"I love you too," she finally said back. I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. I leaned in and kissed her deeply. I tried to convey every emotion that I could into that kiss. My hand went to tangle in her beautiful hair as she wrapped her hands along my neck.

   When we separated she rested her forehead on mine as we caught our breath. She chuckled, "And don't worry. If you start taking down hydra for me, I'll be fighting them for you too."
