S. Stan and B. Barnes Imagines

Nightmare Buddies (Bucky Barnes)

Summary: You are someone who came from HYDRA the same time as your boyfriend, Bucky and you have nightmares every now and then and when you do, they are really bad and Bucky is the only one who can calm you down after them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sleep. The one thing you dreaded. Not because you didn't want to sleep, it was the nightmares that made you this way. Yeah its been years since you escaped from HYDRA with your boyfriend Bucky and your best friend Steve Rogers found you both, but Sleep was never one of the things you wanted to do anymore.

You refused to go to sleep for days at a time until Bucky made you go to bed with him, that's when the nightmares didn't come. But when he was away, that was a whole different story. You had to have him touching you or holding you close in some way for you to be able to sleep, the minute he let go or rolled over and away from you, the nightmares plagued your sleep.

Tonight was like any other night. You and Bucky were getting around for bed. You flopped down face first into the pillows with a yawn. Bucky chuckled and laid down next to you, pulling you close and wrapping his arms around you protectively and tightly. You fell asleep quickly in his embrace with a small smile on your face. Bucky smiled slightly as he watched you for a few minutes, admiring how peaceful you looked.

Bucky left after a few hours because he couldn't fall asleep. He thought you would be ok since the nightmares were becoming less frequent. You would only have one once or twice a week. So, Bucky kissed your forehead and went down to the training room with Steve. They both went down there when they couldn't sleep.

A few hours after Bucky left, the nightmare started.

A dark room was were you were. You looked around and couldn't see anything. The only thing you could see were the lumps on the floor. That was it. Your hands twitched and a small flame appeared in your palms because of your elemental powers. That HYDRA gave you.

"Oh, Ambrosia. Look at what you've done." A creepy voice said from somewhere. A light then flicked on and then you could see all your friends, dead. From your hand. All of them were either covered in vines, trapped in water, had rocks on top of them, or burn marks all over them. Their blood all over you.

"No." You mumbled in your sleep. Your hands twitching, causing your powers to activate. Vines crawled across the floor and they covered the door. The water in the cup beside you on the nightstand started to swirl and lift out of the cup. A gentle breeze circulated the room. And the Small candle on the desk ignited and the flame danced and got a bit bigger as your face contorted in fear.

"All that blood looks good on you. It really brings out your eyes." The same creepy man said. You located the voice and found it to be your old commander.

"No. No no no." You mumbled over and over. Your powers kept trying to go haywire are you dreamed on. Your face twisting in fear.

Suddenly, your nightmare switched to old memories of you getting tortured and getting trained on how to use your powers. You were then getting yelled at in your dream and you could hear pounding coming from somewhere.

But this wasn't happening in your dream. Bucky was trying to wake you up. He was outside the door with the team, pounding on the door to open it but the vines were blocking the way and no one could get through.

"Stark, forgive me for this." Bucky told Tony before he rammed into the door with his left arm and broke it off it's hinges. Bucky scrambled over to the bed to wake you up. As soon as he touched you, you jolted awake and pulled away.

"NO! DON'T TOUCH ME!" You screamed, still thinking you were in HYDRA. You scrambled off the bed and to the wall. You looked around to see Bucky and the team. You then broke down and started to freak out, going into a small panic attack. You stuffed your hands into your hair and your breathing became irregular. Bucky quickly ushered everyone out of the room and then came over to you.

"Hey, hey. It's ok. I'm here. They aren't going to get you anymore." Bucky cooed softly and pulled you to his chest.

You slowly started to calm down but you kept crying. Bucky stroked your hair until your crying was reduced to sniffles.

"S-some-t-times, m-memories are the worst kind of t-t-torture." You stuttered out and Bucky held you closer.

"It's all behind us. It's ok. I'm here." Bucky cooed and kissed your forehead. You buried your face into his chest and held onto him tightly.

"Thank you Nightmare Buddy." You mumbled and Bucky chuckled lightly.

The rest of the night was spent cuddling up to Bucky and him reassuring you that it was all ok. Let's just say, you were grateful for your Nightmare Buddy. So, that's what you called you and Bucky, Nightmare Buddies.
