Bucky/Steve One Shots

Feverish

Steve was sitting on the couch silently drawing in his sketchpad. He looked down at the brunette who was asleep and shivering with his head in his lap. Bucky had gotten a cold when he was pushed in the water during a mission a few days before. It was freezing outside and it was at least an hour before they could get him warmed up. Now he was sicker than he had ever been and he was not taking it well. 

Steve carefully readjusted the blanket so it was over Bucky's shoulder and lightly kissed him on the head. Bucky had always been a deep sleeper so he wasn't worried about waking him, but apparently being sick was an exception. 

Bucky groaned and looked up at the blonde with tired eyes, "Stevie..." his voice sounded congested and Steve found it absolutely adorable, despite the circumstances. 

Steve smiled down at him and lightly brushed the hair from his eyes, "welcome back."

"I don't feel welcome... is this what death feels like?"

"Buck, you're not dying. It's just a cold."

"Just a cold? It feels like the plague."

"You've never had the plague. How would you know?" he smirked fondly.

"I just know... I know things... This? This is a man who knows things."

"No, this is a man who is delirious with fever..."  he placed a hand on his forehead. It was still burning. He had been trying to get the fever down all day, "I would go get some ice, but you're not going to move off of me, are you?"

"Never. I am dying, Steve. I want to spend my last moments with the love of my life."

"You're not dying!"

He heard the familiar chime of his phone and reached to grab it. The caller ID read Tony. He answered the phone, "Hey, Tony. Sorry, I have a clingy and feverish ex-assassin on my lap. I'll call you back when I've convinced him that a cold doesn't mean he's dying."

Tony could be heard on the other line protesting to Steve hanging up, but he hung up anyways and tossed his phone. Steve looked down to see that Bucky had fallen asleep again. He was such a suck-up. He smiled to himself as he continued his sketch of his sleeping boyfriend.
