Gotham was a cold city on a normal day, but the middle of November was especially cold. Roughly minus ten degrees and five inches of snow, yet still (Y/N) was outside. Dressed only in cotton shorts and a faded band T-shirt (that she stole from her boyfriend) and standing on the roof of her apartment. Her feet were sunk into the snow while her hands drew patterns in the cold white that sat on the ledge. It was jus above waist height and as she looked over she could see the long twenty story drop to street level. The bright (E/C) of her eyes were focused on the corrupt city before her, lit up by the huge buildings around her. Gotham was her home but it was cold. Soft flakes fell from the sky and added to the white snow around her. It wasn't windy but the air was so cold it seemed frozen in place, chilling her to the bone just like she wanted. The burning heat that only comes with nightmares was melting away as the cold grew on her. It stung a little bit but she wouldn't allow it to hurt her, no she would go back before that happened. Still the weather couldn't change the thoughts in her mind, they kept returning to the same image. Nightmares sucked but this was something else. Slowly the peace around her began to calm her so much it was as though she was falling asleep. Her eyes struggled to stay open and her body began to sway, like she was struggling to stay upright. Suddenly it was all shattered.

The door that lead onto the roof opened and hit the wall next to it a little harshly. Bucky stepped out in sweatpants and a jumper. The snow landed on his black hair and displayed just how pale he really was. Quickly he trudged through the snow towards her.

"(Y/N), what the hell are you doing out here its freezing..." his voice was thick with sleep and he kept his eyes partly closed and focused on the ground "come on, lets go back to bed"

The thought of having another nightmare was too much causing her to shaker her head furiously and stepped back. Bucky frowned and opened his eyes properly. Once he got a good look at her the panic set in.

"(Y/N) holy fuck, you're going blue! Please come inside darling" he pleaded and tried to grab her hand.

"N-No! I cant Buck...I'll see them again" she moved back again and began to cry.

"What are they babe, talk to me"

"The n-nightmares, they don't stop and I cant keep this up"

"What happened?"

"I see you d-die and cant s-stop it. Sometimes you jump of the building and sometimes you shoot yourself and, and-"

Suddenly Bucky grabbed (Y/N)'s wrists. While she had been panicking he had inched closer to her without catching her attention.

"Please darling, you're fucking freezing and you're going to get hurt!"

"I-I fine just leave me alone" she tried to pull away but his grip was firm.

"That's exactly what you're afraid of me doing so no, how about we go inside before you catch frostbite!?"

Before she could protest again Bucky pulled the (H/C) girl against his chest and held her tight. The warmth emitting from him was amazing and (Y/N) hadn't realised just how cold she really was. Suddenly shivering profusely and teeth chattering it was clear she wanted to go inside.

"B-Bucky can we-"

Cutting her off again, his slightly chapped lips pressed against her freezing ones. Once he scooped her up and brought her inside, the two ended up cuddling in bed. Slowly Bucky moved his hands through her hair and whispered about how he would always be here for her. Eventually, content with his promises, (Y/N) felt her slipping into nightmare free sleep. Light snores escaped her lips and Bucky smiled. God did he get lucky.
