Bucky
I woke up the next morning hung over from all the drinking I did. Steve barely drank and he listened to me talk about Scarlett. I looked at the clock on the nightstand and I noticed three pills and a bottle of water. I took the pills and drank from the water bottle.

I got up and went to the kitchen to see Steve cooking breakfast.

"Hungry?" He asked.

"Very", I said as I sat down.

Then a few minutes later a plate of bacon, eggs and sausage with hash browns were put in front of me.

"I appreciate you so much Steve".

"I know you do Buck".

Steve sat down with his own plate and we dug in while the tv was on.

"I don't know if you remember this but that time you were in the hospital after getting into that motorcycle accident", said Steve.

"I barely remember it but yeah".

"Well, both me and Scarlett were crying when you were unconscious in that bed. Scarlett thought the worst and that destroyed her but I knew you'd be okay. You were James Buchanan Barnes, the toughest sob around."

We just watched you breathe and make sure you weren't alone

We just watched you breathe and make sure you weren't alone. When you were okay enough, she laid in the bed with you and kissed your forehead and your cheek and sang to you. She was so scared to live without you Buck. I was scared also to think that our third musketeer wouldn't be here. Then you pulled through and that was such a weight lifted from our shoulders".

"Wow, I had no idea that you were both that terrified of losing me. I'm not worth all that".

"But you are. You've helped us and defended us."

"But, she won't even talk to me now".

"She will".

"She still loves you and she'll forgive you".

"I hope, I really do".
