A War Has Many Casualities

Chapter 2

Steve's POV

I woke up to the sound of what seemed to be someone being sick; I turned over to see not Bucky there. I got up from underneath the sheets and walk outside only to see Bucky leaning over vomiting, I noticed his hand was shaking and he looked weak. "Bucky, are you alright?" I asked in a concerned tone, no response. I stand next to him, and he looked up at me. His eyes looked tired and I could smell the vomits on his breathe. "I'm...fine" he answered, but in no way was he fine. "Let's get you cleaned up" I said, I put my arm underneath his arm pit for support and walked with me basically carrying him to the shower room. He cleaned himself up and we walked back to the tent, he could hold himself up but I could tell his vision was unsteady because his walking was jagged and I noticed his hands were shaky.

Bucky's POV

I hated getting Steve worried; it was usually me getting worried about him whenever he got sick or decided he wanted to be a punching bag. "You alright?" Steve asked, It wasn't like it was my first nightmare but I had a feeling it wouldn't be my last.

"Don't worry about me Steve, I am fine" I said back. I was the strongest one out of both of us, but it doesn't seem he needs me to be the strong one and I can't protect him anymore.

"No you're not Bucky" he said defensively, I didn't answer back.

I was glad he was denied enlistment because then he would've been safe, but no he had get his ass over here and be an idiot, but at least I can keep an eye on him.

We made it to the tent, I still felt bad but at least I stopped vomiting, I noticed my hands were shaking and I tried to hide them by folding my arms. I needed to get away from here, just to clear my head and I doubt I could've gotten back to sleep. "I'm going for a walk, be back" I said as I grabbed my jacket but before I could leave Steve spoke up. "I'll come with you" Steve said, I told him I needed to be alone for a little bit, he didn't like the idea at first, but then gave up trying to persuade me.

I walked around the camp for a while, I saw some soldiers who were most likely on night duty walking around the camp as well. Around the outside of the camp there was a tall fence which blocked people from getting in and getting out. There was a sign on the fence reading 'Do Not Climb', but I climbed nevertheless after checking if the coast was clear. Once I was on the other side of the fence I ran into the forest and hid behind a tree I peeked around the tree to check, nobody. I walked for what seemed to be awhile.
