Goodnight•Bucky

I wanted to say I love you but I kept it to goodnight because love means falling and you're afraid of heights

"Goodnight"

You went through this same routine every night since Bucky came to live in the tower. You visited his room and stayed with him till he fell asleep or you stayed the night.

He kept asking how you never complained about doing this every night or why you continued to do this every night. Every time you answered with "I don't mind" and a shrug but the truth was that you loved him.

It took all your willpower not to tell Bucky because you knew he couldn't fall. You knew he couldn't fall in love or in anything because he was scared of heights. Love meant falling and he was afraid of heights so you kept your words to goodnight.

At least this was until Bucky asked you.

"Do you like me"

" I...uh... Maybe... I don't know..." You stumbled out words as Bucky's question caught you off guard.

"Yes" you admitted

"Then why didn't you say anything" Bucky questioned

"Because I wanted to say that I loved you but you were afraid of heights and love meant falling so I always kept it to goodnight"

"Oh" Bucky answered

Silence swam around the room except for the low humming of the technology in the building. A noise of creaking and light thuds got closer to you in the darkness. You got scared for a moment and tensed up when you felt a pair of soft lips on yours. The lips massaged yours as you tried to get your brain to work. A few seconds later and your brain worked just enough to to kiss back. The kiss lasted a few more seconds before you pulled away, gasping for breath.

"I'll never be afraid to fall for you doll"
