This is set after The Winter Soldier, Bucky and Steve are in a relationship and live together in Steve's flat.
***************
It was a typical Autumn day in Brooklyn, rain was pouring from the skies in torrential downpours. Bucky and Steve were curled up together on the sofa, not saying anything, just quietly enjoying each others company. It had been a busy couple of weeks, Steve had been run off his feet and even Bucky had even found himself busy most of the time, it was nice for the two of them to have some time to relax together.

The last episode of Star Trek had finished, a TV series recommended by Stark, something the 'pensioners' needed to catch up on. Bucky looked up to Steve with a sleepy expression in his eyes.

'Could you maybe read me a story? Only if you want to of course! I don't want to be a nuisance, it's just that the sound of your voice helps me sleep sometimes.' Bucky's face glowed red with embarrassment at his seemingly childish words.

'Sure, no problem. What do you want me to read?' Steve's expression was one of gentleness and understanding. He stretched out his limbs and pushed himself off the sofa, looking round at Bucky, still waiting for an answer.

'Umm, I was thinking maybe Harry Potter? I know it's for kids but Clint said I should read them at some point.' Bucky looked away as the embarrassment became too much for him.

'Theres nothing not wrong with that! I actually bought the box set last month, I just haven't got round to reading them yet. Just give me a minute and I'll go find them!' Steve rushed off in the direction of the bedroom, his hips swaying as he walked, causing Bucky to go even more red.

He adored Steve with all his heart, had for a long time, since 1934. He still couldn't get used to the fact that him and Steve were together, that he could touch Steve, talk to Steve, whenever he wanted. His most precious moments were those spent beside Captain America.

Steve appeared back from the bedroom with a book clutched in his left hand, a bar of Bucky's favourite chocolate in his right. He plonked himself down on the spacious sofa next to Bucky and handed him the chocolate before opening the book. 'You sure know the way to a mans heart Steve!' Bucky smirked before reaching up and giving Steve a quick kiss on the cheek.

'Is that all I get? I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed with that Buck!' Steve shook his head with mock disappointment, a small smile spreading across his face.

'You haven't started reading yet, star spangled man!'

'Hey, we agreed never to mention that again! Those days are long gone!'

'But it happened! I still can't believe that you pranced around on stage for a month without protest, they should have had you in a red, white and blue leotard as well!' Bucky was howling with laughter at this point, Steve's look of horror not making any difference to him.

'You better buck up mister, or I won't be reading you any stories!'

'Okay, I'm sorry!' Bucky put his hands up in surrender before cuddling into the larger mans side, looking for warmth and comfort. Steve opened the book at the first page and started to read, the words dripping off his tongue in a way they made Bucky tingle inside.

'Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.' Bucky smiled at the words and closed his eyes, allowing Steve to continue reading. It didn't take long for Bucky to drift off. After reading the first two chapters Steve put the book down on the coffee table. He looked down at Bucky, smiling fondly at his best friend, his lover, his soul mate. He gently scooped Bucky up into his strong arms and carried him through to the bedroom. He placed him gently on the bed and tucked him in, pressing a light but love filled kiss to his temple before leaving the bedroom.

It was the first time since Steve had found him that Bucky had slept soundly. No screaming. No nightmares. No guilt. Just peaceful, quiet sleep.
