Angry Secrets#3 - Bucky Barnes

I opened my eyes and I was already prepared to freak out. I didn't remember why I was there and why there, wherever the hell I was, was so dark.

I sat on the bed carefully and slowly looked around. I smiled to myself. Okay, everything was fine. Memories was there and prepared to save the day. And God, if I wasn't embarassed. I remembered everything from screaming my feelings right in Barnes' face, through rescuing Avengers to explanations. Girl, I was so done with myself I just curled up on huge bed. I hide my head in hands and started making strange noices.

When I decided to stop doing my behavior of shame, I looked around one more time. There was small table next to bed with a clock on it. It was 4am and I had no idea why I was up. I was long sleep lover, so it was mistery to me why I wasn't tired or irritated.

I knew that next door were sleeping two the best agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., so I tried to be quiet. It didn't end well, because when I wanted to get up, bed did that annoying squeaky sound. So I stayed in it. I wanted to catch a few more hours of sleep, but I couldn't. My body was rested and I was feeling like young god.

Finally I decided to lay down and think. I throught about literally everything. From my real family to my actual position. And just when I tried to recall if I had bought strawberries, doors next to mine opened with quiet crackling. I heard a few silent quick steps. I stopped breathing for a moment. Someone stood right in front of my door. I sighned with relief when treads moved away.

At 5am I had enough. Ignoring squeaky bed, I stood up and quietly went to the door. I opened them and looked around. Everything was quiet, no one was around. I stepped out of my room and went ahead to the stairs. As I remembered, there was elevator and next to it door stairs going down. I looked back at row of the doors. My eyebrows frowned. One of them was a little bit open. I heard quiet steps there. My body tensed, when treads came closer. Then door opened and I saw Barnes. My jaw dropped to the floor, eyes on the outside, heart already exploded. Whoa, that was unexpected. He looked way too good in white stretched T-shit and grey sweatpants. And Lord, have mercy, he tied his hair into ponytail. Oh God, I throught I had second heart attack.

His sleepy gaze landed on me and my magic moment popped like a soap bubble. His eyes were immediately ice cold.

- Good morning - I smiled, turning around to him.

- Why are you here? - he hissed at me. My heart did quiet crack and I literally felt pain in my chest. But I was okay, I understood. He didn't trust me anymore. So I gave up on my ironic comment about 'You made me stay here, moron' and smiled even warmer.

- I couldn't sleep - I whispered. I couldn't look at him, so my eyes was almost glued to the carpet which, God, looked more expensive than me.

I throught that Barnes will look at me with disdain and ignore me or just order to stay in the room. But I heard just sigh. Nothing else. So I looked at him and.. Okay, 3rd heart attack confirmed. All his posture was just relaxed and, God, his eyes, so soft and almost apologetic. If I wouldn't be in the solid state, I could melt.

- I assume you don't want to sleep - he whispered. I nodded. He was so gorgeous, someone help me, please. - So.. You want to go somewhere? If we stay here, we'll wake up everyone.

- Where? - I cocked my head to the side. - Everything is close now.

- Stark have almost everything here - he simply smiled and went toward stairs. As he passed me, I felt his scent, manly, but not as strong as Thor's, but that was just perfect for James. Soft and a little bit sweet. - Come on, doll - I heard from the bottom of the stairs. I almost ran to Bucky and followed him to wherever he lead me.

He ordered me to sit on the sofa. I didn't say anything when he went to kitchenette and grabbed two cups.

- You want something to eat? - he asked, making coffee. I said I didn't want anything and after a few minutes, Bucky sat next to me and put two cups on the table. - Okay.. We have a lot of time now. We can talk about yesterday.
