Bucky Barnes x Reader

Requested by @LionessSister. I had to look up the plotlines to Disney movies because I didn't really grow up with them. Is that sad? That sounds really sad. No but really, I don't know the plot to Beauty and the Beast or Snow White. Like I know generally, but I don't really know what happens. It's kinda like we all knew what Civil War was about before we saw it, but we didn't really KNOW what happened until we saw it. So yeah, I had to Wikipedia search Disney movies. 


"(Y/N)!" Bucky's croaky voice called through the receiver of your cell phone. "(Y/N) I'm dying!" His voice was panicked and you could hear his quick and shallow breathing. You picked at your nails in disinterest and rolled your eyes.

"Oh really? What do you feel like?" You asked in boredom. You knew what was happening, and he was absolutely fine.

"My throat hurts, and my nose is running, and I'm tired, and I feel like the room is spinning. What is it? Is it the plague? Poison? Give it to me straight, don't play around," he pleaded with you. You heard him turn away to cough violently before putting the phone back to his ear with a sniffle.

"Bucky," you began with a sigh. "You have a cold. You're not dying, it's just a virus. It'll go away in a couple days."

"No, it can't be! I'm a super soldier, I don't get colds! My body doesn't react to them!" Bucky denied your idea immediately, and you could picture him shaking his head as he sat in bed with his arms crossed over his chest, his nose bright red. You chuckled and picked up your bag and your car keys so you could head over to his house.

"It might be that your body doesn't react to new viruses. Your body can kill viruses that aren't already present in your body, but since you already had the cold virus in your system, you're still susceptible. You get it?" You suggested.

The line went silent for a moment before he responded with a hesitant, "no..."

You sighed. This was going to be a long day.

You were sitting in Bucky's bed with him snuggled up against your side. You couldn't believe how quickly the super soldier fell when under the influence of a minor virus. He was suddenly even more puppy-like than usual, and you couldn't help but let out the occasional, "aww," as he shuffled around underneath the covers, sniffling lightly with his hair a mess of a mane on top of his head. You chuckled and ruffled his hair lightly. 

"So what's this movie called again?" He croaked, his eyes glued to the screen. 

"Beauty and the Beast," you replied simply. He nodded and hummed in response as he watched the scene unfold on the screen. You had been watching various Disney movies all day, as they always made you feel better when you were sick.

The closeness between you two wasn't awkward in any way. You were good enough friends that this was normal. You often had movie nights and get-togethers where you would both wind up way to tired to part ways and you would wake up in the morning snuggled against each other on the couch. Sure, the rest of the Avengers teased you about it to no end, but you didn't care. You were good friends and it made you happy.

You could see Bucky struggling to keep his eyes open and you just chuckled. He finally ended his struggle by allowing his eyelids to drop and close completely, and moments later you could hear soft snores coming from him.

~This point of view change is brought to you by Bucky's plums - he never got them back and we're still salty about it~

Bucky's eyes opened and he lifted his head up. His eyes met those of (Y/N) and he tilted his head to the side. (Y/N) looked at him and smiled softly.
