Bucky's POV
"Leave her ALONE!" I shouted, trying desperately to break free of the chains holding me back. I was back in the Hydra facility, but someone else's life was at stake. (Y/n), the one person I loved the most. A guard had her by the throat, picking her up off the ground.
"Such a pretty thing, if only she'd give me answers, then she wouldn't be such a waste." He teased, dropping her. She cried out in pain, head hanging.
"Coward." She growled.
"What was that?!" The guard asked.
"You're a coward, asshole." She spat, looking up at him with fierce eyes. He smacked her, and she yelped. I pulled against the chains, still unable to move.
"You'll regret saying that. Now, answer the question, bitch." He said, holding her head up with the muzzle of his gun. Blood dripped down her face, a gash going up across her now closed eye.
"I'll never tell you. No matter what you do." She growled. He reeled back, punching her repeatedly with no remorse.
"STOP! STOP IT PLEASE! I'LL TELL YOU!" I yelled, tears cascading down my face. He turned to me, putting the muzzle against her temple.
"You know that you can't remember. It's too late." He snarled, pulling the trigger as I screamed.
(Y/n)'s POV
A loud yelp woke me from a light sleep, and I sat up. It came from Bucky's room, and I got up, putting my robe on. I walked in on a shaking Bucky, who was curled up in a ball and hadn't noticed me yet. I sat in front of him, moving his hair away from his face. His metal arm shot up, gripping my wrist like a vice.
"Bucky, it's me. It's just me." I said calmly, and he immediately let go. I saw his eyes, soaked with tears. They looked up into mine, fear filling them.
"I-i'm sorry." He said weakly, backing up into his headboard. I got closer, and he kept moving away.
"What's wrong?" I asked, seeing him cower back as my hand reached out.
"I don't want to hurt you." He said, and I wrapped my arms around him.
"You could never hurt me, James. Now, what happened?" I asked. He relaxed a bit, leaning into me. His arms wrapped around me, and I heard him sob softly into my shoulder.
"H-hydra....... Killed you." He whispered, his voice breaking. That's all I needed, and I rubbed his back softly. He pulled me into his lap, and I held him close.
"Shh, it's okay now. It was just a dream." I cooed, and he pulled back, looking at me.
"What if it becomes real?" He asked. I cupped his cheeks in my hands, wiping his tears.
"Nothing could ever take me away from you, not now, not ever." I said, and he leaned in, kissing me delicately.
"Don't leave." He whispered. I stroked his hair, laying us down.
"I won't." I said.
"I love you, so very much." He said softly, nuzzling into my neck.
"I love you too, more than anything."
