King of My Heart - Bucky Barnes x Reader

Part 14

"They're taking too long don't you think? James said they'd be back before down." you paced around the dinner room, worried about Bucky and Steve's absence.

"You need to remain calm, my queen. It's not good for the child." Peggy held your hand on hers but she couldn't hide the worry behind her voice either.

"Something bad happened. I can feel it." as soon as the words left your mouth the guards stormed inside the castle, desperation on their voices.

You and Peggy ran towards the main room and what your eyes found was a wounded Steve Rogers carrying Bucky on his arms.

"What happened?" you reached out for Bucky, his head was low and his skin pale. Peggy looked at Steve, who was too ashamed to look at you both in the eyes.

"I'm sorry, my queen. I failed you both." Steve spoke for the first time his voice trembling.

"James?" you lifted his face up to look at him.

"Nothing happened, my love. It's just a scratch." he chuckled dryly before choking on his own blood. Your eyes widened at the pool of blood forming on your feet. You're going to lose him.

"Let's take him to the bedroom. Peggy, I'll need clean sheets and boiling water. Please hurry up." Peggy nodded and ran back to the kitchen.

Steve helped you to lay Bucky on the mattress and you took off his vest, taking a look at the wound. It was pretty bad and he already lost too much blood.

"Who did this to him?" you asked Steve while applying pressure to stuck the bleeding a bit.

"Hydra did. I told him that we needed back up but you know how stubborn he is. Especially when it's Hydra. It was just the two of us against twenty of theirs. It was a lost battle and I knew it. It should be me dying right now not him." Steve helped you and Peggy entered the room, with a bowl of water and clean sheets.

"Don't speak this nonsense, Steve. We all know how James is reckless. I'm happy you're alive." you reassured him. Bucky was already unconscious wich means that you hadn't much time.

"Peggy, we need Wanda. She could help us. I don't know how stop the bleeding anymore." you looked at her desperate.

"I'll ask to Sam and Clint go to the village. She'll help us, (Y/N)." Peggy said.

"I can go with them as well." Steve left the room, leaving you alone with Bucky.

"You can't leave me, James. You can't leave us. Please." you cried as his eyes remained closed and you felt your happiness slipping out of your fingers.
