Something To Believe In || Bucky Barnes x Reader

CHAPTER 16 |

"Ready to comply" you spoke into the dark room as a voice loomed over you

"Your final mission, Soldat: Kill Tony Stark."

You looked down at your metal arm and clenched your fist. Suddenly, the lights turned on and you saw each of the Avengers, each of your friends, dead on the floor. You looked down at your hands, which we're now bloodied and screamed.

You tossed and turned in your bed, crying and screaming in as your nightmare continued. Bucky burst through the door, his hair messy and only wearing pajama pants, immediately recognizing what was going on. He ran to your sweaty body, holding you in his arms to soothe you. "Shh, Y/N. It's okay."

You woke with a start and buried yourself in his arms, whimpering as tears streamed down your cheeks. "What have they done to me?" You asked, your voice shaky

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. You nodded and preceded to tell him what happened in the nightmare.

He held you for a while before you were almost asleep again, and he started to lay you down. He got up from your bed and pulled the covers over you. You grabbed his arm on his way out

"Stay, please" you whispered. He climbed into your bed hesitantly as you made room for him and pulled you tightly into his chest as you moved closer. "No one is going to hurt you doll, and I promise you won't hurt anyone either. I'm with you now. We'll get through this together." He reassured you, kissing your forehead as you buried your face in the crook of his neck.

"Thank you Buck." You whispered into him as your sobbing subsided. "Anything you need, I'm here." He replied.

Soon, you both feel back asleep. He stoked your heart as you drifted off ever so slowly in his arms.

You woke in the morning as the sun shone over your eyelids. You opened you eyes slowly and looked up to realize something- someone was holding you. It was Bucky. You remembered the events of last night and smiled faintly, grabbing a strand of his long chocolate hair and twirling it between your fingers.

He stretched as he woke up soon after and looked down at you. "Good morning, sunshine" he greeted as he saw you smiling at him, his voice husky and sleepy.

"Good morning, Buck." You replied as he untangled his arms from around you and got up. "I don't want to get up." You groaned. He chuckled as he opened the curtains to your room. "Take your time, but I know the rest of the team wants to see you, and Stark is having some kind of charity ball tonight."

You groaned more "I just got back to the tower and Tony wants me to attend a party? I hate his parties." Bucky sniggered "I haven't had the pleasure of attending one. Would you like to accompany me?"

"Did you just ask me on a date?" His face flushed as a light pink crept up his cheeks. "Is that not how you ask someone on a date?" He let out a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his neck "It's been a while." This is the most human you'd ever see him, he was finally the old Bucky again.

You chuckled at his nervousness "Of course I'll accompany you" a smile spread across his face. "Great! Great okay well I'll meet you at around 8? I have to go train with Steve now."  He asked. You nodded "You know where I'll be." And with that, Bucky was off, and you fell back to sleep once more.
