Falling (Bucky x Tony)

Chapter 3 Falling For Him

1 Month Ago

Bucky's Pov:

"Stevie?" I asked and Steve looked at me. "I'm so fucked," I said and he gave me a confused look.

"Why?" Steve asked.

"I think I'm falling in love with him." Steve's eyes widened.

"You guys aren't even dating," Steve said.

"I know!" I said.

"Jesus Buck, why?" Steve asked.

"I...I asked or started to and he looked fucking terrified." I said and Steve frowned.

"Why?" Steve asked.

"Bruce says he's afraid of being with people intimately now," I said.

"Why?" Steve asked.

"I don't know...He's been through a lot Stevie." I said.

"Why do you love him?" Steve asked.

"Have you met him!? He has this excited look in his eyes when he gets an idea for something he can build...He has this big goofy grin when he finishes a project, He gets this sparkle in his eye when one of us wants to spend time with him, and he does this cute little nose wrinkle when he scoffs." I listed.

"You...really do love him," Steve said.

"I know." I groaned.

"You need to tell him," Steve said.

"I will when it's the right time," I said.

Present

Bucky's Pov:

"If we go to a ball game though Stevie will want to tag along," I said and felt Tony go limp my body going numb...NO! NO! NO! I started to cry harder and looked down at his pale body...Oh god. Check his breathing. I let out a sigh of relief when I felt him still breathing...He's going to die...He's going to fucking die and I can't do shit to stop it! I shot up when I heard a familiar whirring noise...The jet! I heard it land nearby and looked at Tony.

"IN HERE!" I shouted trying to lift Tony gently. I got up and saw Steve rush in looking at us...His face drained of all color when he saw Tony. "Stevie." I chocked.

"Get him on the jet-quick," Steve said and I ran. Bruce shoved me out of the way while Hank got to work. I went over and dropped in a seat and Stevie sat next to me giving me a worried look. "He's going to be ok," Steve said.

"I told him," I said and Steve smiled.

"That's good," Steve said.

"He probably won't remember," I said and felt the jet taking off.

"If it doesn't it just gives you a chance to tell him in a better way," Steve said.

"How did we end up here?" I asked.

5 Hours Ago

Tony's Pov:

"Fuck...Not a damn train." I saw Steve starting to panic.

"Hey it'll be alright we can do this..." I said and Steve swallowed. James was frozen and I reached put grabbing his arm. "You're with me, right?" I asked and James nodded.

"Let's take care of these Hydra ass holes," I said as we moved further into the train as it sped down the rails. The fight was unfair as they had my damn repulser tech. Steve went flying and I was worried that he was going to fly out the side but Bucky caught him when my armor blarred an alert. I got the shit shocked out of me all systems going down.

"TONY!" I heard Steve yell and then I got blasted flying out the side. I watched as the train kept going but saw James reaching for me right when my head his something and I blacked out.

Now

Tony's Pov:

I cracked my eyes open and looked around seeing I was in the medical wing of the tower. I tried to stay awake but ended up passing out again...The next time I came to I couldn't open my eyes.

"He's in a coma?" I heard Steve ask.

"No...He woke up from that...Now he's just in and out." Bruce said.

"Is he ok?" Steve asked.

"We're not sure what the head injury did to him without him waking up...How's Bucky?" Bruce asked.

"Shut down," Steve said.

"James?" I croaked weakly.

"Tony!?" Steve asked...yes get James...is he ok?

"James? 'm tryin." I said and felt myself drift off again dammit.

"He was calling for you the other day," Steve said as I started to come to again.

"Stevie...I can't stand seeing him like this." James said.

"I know but maybe you being here will help," Steve said and I forced my eyes open which was successful but they were just cracked...

"James?" I asked and saw James look at me, eyes wide. "I'm sorry...I tried." I said and saw tears running down his cheeks...don't cry.

"Oh god, Doll...I know you did you don't need to apologize you did so good." James said and I gave him a weak smile before I felt myself drifting off again. I woke up this time my eyes opened all the way and I felt a hand on mine. I looked at James who was asleep his head laying on the bed. I squeezed his hand and saw him startled awake.

"Hey." I croaked and he looked at me.

"Oh god, Tony," James said tears welling up and he leaned over kissing me...Oh ok, so that wasn't a dream.

"That's my name don't wear it out," I said and he smiled.

"I'm so glad your ok, doll," James said.

"I...honestly thought I was going to die," I said.

"You held on so long...Bruce said if you weren't so strong willed we'd have lost you," James said.

"I am stubborn," I said and James let out a small laugh. "How long have I been out?" I asked.

"You...were in a Coma for a week," James said and I looked at him surprised.

"Seriously? I always thought you'd feel refreshed after a long nap not more tired." I said and James smiled sadly.

"I thought...You wouldn't wake up but one day Stevie broke down my door and said you asked for me." James said.

"I'll fix that once I escape," I said.

"You are not escaping...Jesus Tony, you...you looked dead and you had all those tubes." James said crying. "You looked so fucking frail...like glass and I couldn't stay...When Stevie dragged me out he told me that you didn't look as bad so I came down." James said.

"Sorry," I said and James looked into my eyes.

"Don't apologize," James said.

"Were...you serious?" I asked.

"About?" James asked.

"Loving me," I said.

"Yes...God, yes." James said.

"Ok..." I said and James frowned. "Where do you want to go for our first date...You said something about a ball game or movie." I said. "Then said we can't do the ballgame because of Steve which yeah he probably would tag along," I said and James smiled.

"You heard all of that?" James asked.

"Yeah...I was kind of out of it when you said Steve would tag along but I heard you." I said.

"I love you," James said and I felt my cheeks grow warm. I smiled at him and his eyes softened...

"I love you too," I said and James laughed kissing me again.

End.
