I walked out of the kit room, my vision hazy as Barnes walked past me.
"Oh hey Barnes," I grinned lazily, resting my hand on his shoulder to stabilise myself. "You good?" I asked, attempting to focus on the features of the brunette in front of me.
"Hey Y/N. You okay? You hurt?" He asked, arm placing itself on my shoulder.
"No, no, no, I'm fine. Totally fine, no, no, no, I am fine." I smiled wearily.
"Really? Because you're repeating your words and you've gone really pale." He cocked an eyebrow at me.
"Yeah you're gonna have to catch me"
"What?"
And then it went black. From what I'd been told by a very amused Sam a little bit later on was that Bucky caught me, picked me up bridal style and just stood with a panicked expression until Sam told him to lay me down on the sofa.
When I came back round, my head was on Bucky's lap and he was running his fingers through my hair.
"Hey Barnes," I smiled, watching him chuckle at my sleepy self. "You caught me!" I joked meekly, making him smile.
"Banner says you're sleep deprived," He sighed, hand still running through my hair. "Why didn't you tell me? Coulda come sat with me until you fell asleep," I smiled up at him, deciding i'd take up his offer later. "For now, go back to sleep, god knows you need it." I nodded before closing my eyes and drifting to sleep with the help of Bucky's hands in my hair.
