Avengers Imagines

Nightmare ~ Bucky Barnes

You were peacefully sleeping until you were woken by a scream. The scream came from the room next to yours, Bucky's room. Since Bucky joined the team, he had been a but distant. He avoided contact as much as possible. There was one person he didn't avoid as much though and that person was you. Of course he wasn't as close with you as he was with Steve, but he definitely wasn't trying to stay away from you. As time passed he slowly started opening up to you more about his past and what had happened to him. He also told you about his nightmares. He didn't tell you much though, he only told you that he had them regularly. He wasn't lying. It wasn't uncommon for you to wake up, hearing him screaming bloody murder. You usually didn't go over to him as Steve helps him the majority of times. This time Steve wasn't here though. He was on a mission with Natasha and Sam. You got out of bed and walked over to his bedroom door. You gently knocked on the door. A few second later you heard a faint 'come in' coming from inside. You quietly opened the door and walked into the room. You saw Bucky sitting on the edge of his bed, head in hands. Even though the lights were off you could still see he was crying. You quietly walked over to him and sat down next to him on the bed. He quickly moved away. "Don't come close to me, I don't want to hurt you," he muttered. "Bucky, you won't hurt me," you told him while slowly moving closer to him. "yes, I will, just like I always do. All I do is hurt people. All of those people, I hurt them or worse for some, killed them. I'm a monster," he said, but this time he didn't move away from you. He was looking down and his shoulders were hanging low, making him look even  more like a lost puppy." Bucky, you are not a monster. It wasn't you who hurt those people, that was the Winter Soldier. You weren't the one in control, Hydra was." While you were talking, Bucky slowly moved closer to you. You felt his arms pulling you against him. He slowly pulled you in for a hug. You quickly responded by hugging back. You felt a wet spot form on your shoulder and knew he was crying. "Thank you," he whispered with a broken voice. You slowly lead him to the bed and made sure he was comfortable. You were about to leave when you felt a tug on your arm. "Please stay." You smiled a bit before lying down next to him. You felt him pull you against his body. "Sleep well Buckybear." "Sleep well doll."
