A Stucky Story

Stucky with Sam

Saturday morning started off like any other morning. Steve and Bucky got up very early to jog, passing Sam in the process. Then getting back home to clean up. Steve finished his shower first, Bucky usually jumped in after him but something was off about Bucky's demeanor today. He was more quiet, more distant towards Steve.

Steve noticed. Bucky usually became distant every now and then due to stress or becoming trapped in his own thoughts. This week had been pretty calm. So he didn't worry much about it, Bucky would be ready to talk when he was ready. But when Bucky started mumbling in Russian and acting more aggressive towards him, Steve decided to take him the Avengers compound where he would monitored by professionals.

When they arrived, Bucky was becoming increasingly aggressive. He cussed at everyone in every language he knew. He threw punches at everyone, one connecting with Clint. Everyone quickly became weary of Bucky.

"Buck, what's wrong?" Asked Steve. Bucky glared at him, Steve hated that aggressive glare. It wasn't Bucky's glare, it was the Winter Soldiers'. Bruce recommended that everyone kept a dosage of sedation with them in case he switched over.

The afternoon went without a major incident. Bucky's aggression slightly eased, he would still glare at everyone. But if anyone got too close to him, he growled like a wild dog.

"So any reason why our soldier boy is acting like a loaded attack dog?" Asked Tony.

"Nothing I can see without a proper test. Steve, was he fine this morning?" Asked Bruce.

"Well he was fine before and after our run. When we got home, he just started becoming distant and aggressive." Said Steve.

"Well see if you can get him in the lab," said Bruce. Steve nodded, but Bucky wasn't letting anyone near him. Unfortunately, Tony wasn't paying attention to any warning signals. He put a hand on the soldier's shoulder. Bucky immediately bit him.

"Soldat, release and stand face." Yelled Natasha. Bucky let him go and stood frozen. Everyone looked at him in shock. Bucky left a literal bite mark on Tony's hand.

"And have him tested for anything. I don't need any diseases." Said Tony going to the medical lab to patched up. Now all the attention was on Bucky. How he went from happy and smiley in the morning to aggressive and snappy was a very big question.

"Steve, when's the last time he's dropped?" Asked Bruce. Then everything fell into picture. He hasn't. In weeks.

"It's been a while. I would've thought he would this week, but I think since he's been without it for so long he needs to be coasted into it." Said Steve. When Bucky dropped, he was complaint and easy to manage. All he needed was his dom to snuggle him. But without dropping, he was aggressive and distant towards everyone.

"Question is, is he going to let me near him?" Said Steve.

"Your his dominant, make him come to you." Said Nat.

"Bucky, this behavior is unacceptable. If you need to drop, then you can but hurting people is not right. Come here." Commanded Steve. Bucky just stared at him, he made a step towards Steve. Then the alarm sounded sending Bucky back in his corner.

"Extraction mission ten minutes. Someone needs to be here with Bucky." Said Nat looking at her phone. As unstable Bucky was, he couldn't go on a mission, he needed someone with him at all times.

"I'll stay." Said Sam.

"Sam he needs to drop or this will get worse. I have to." Said Steve.

"Steve we need you there. This is a big extraction. Look if Bucky can handle a few weeks without dropping, he can handle a few hours without dropping again. Just run Sam by somethings and get your stuff packed." Said Clint.
