AN: Your best friends with Steve and Bucky, and your trying to help Bucky learn to trust people again.
Steve was sat on the chair, you against his legs as you went through some files. Steve was supposed to be paying attention to the Hydra agents you were going through, but something else was on his mind. "Steve!" You said elbowing his leg. He grunted and looked down. You sighed. "Whats wrong? We're getting nowhere if you cant concentrate."
You shuffled round leaning your folded arms, and chin on his knees. He sighed, you were his best friend, he knew he could talk to you. "Its Buck." Your face fell. The winter soilder only ever let you and Steve close, and even then it was a working progress.
"What about him?" You pushed gently. Your hand finding it's way to entwine it with Steve's twitching one. He grasped it gratefully.
"Tony and Bruce are going to fix the malfunction on his arm, and add a few more things. But they..they want to strap him down for it. Like an animal. Their scared he'll freak out. And as much as I want to, i cant promise them otherwise."
"It'll ruin his trust he was building!" You exclaimed. Steve nodded.
"I know, but what more can I say? I'm on a mission with Clint and Nat tomorrow...." you thought deeply for a second.
"What if I sit with him. I could keep him calm?" Steve sighed.
"He loves you, I know that. But I'm not sure if that's enough, you couldnt stop him if he freaked, not without..."
"Hurting him I know." You said a little to coldly. "But let me try." Steve rubbed his temple before nodding.
"Fine just stay safe." You nodded, as he kissed your head. You returned to the Hydra files.

"Hey Buck?" You said knocking the door.
"I'm not doing it." He called back. "I wont." You sighed. "I heard what they were going to do."
"I changed their minds." Bucky opened the door. You smiled warmly at him. "I'm coming with you. And their not going to tie you up. That's stupid, you wouldnt hurt them. Or me." Bucky smiled.
"You no, them? Maybe." He said with a smirk. You returned his smile and took his hand, his metal one. He flinched but for the first time didnt pull away.
"How did you sleep?" You asked as you made your way towards the lab. He shrugged.
"I was just thinking about this." You squeezed his hand.
"I wont leave you. I can control Tone." Bucky laughed, it was such a beautiful noise.
"Doll, you could take on anyone and win. Your so strong." You flushed at his complement.
You entered the lab, Bruce and Tony looked wary. You had had to threaten them both yesterday to agree, saying you'd leave the Avengers. And they needed you so they'd reluctantly accepted. Bucky sat down, his arm on the table. You sat in front of him and took his other hand. He was clammy. Tony got to work. Bucky twitched.
"Hey Buck!" You said, his eyes snapped from Tony to you and softened. "Want me to sing for you?" You said, remembering the first night he'd spent here, where you'd sung him to sleep. He nodded. Tony frowned at you, but said nothing.
"I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm beggin' you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
Yeah, cause I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no on else canGot me lookin' so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin' so crazy right now
Got me lookin' so crazy right now your touch's
Got me lookin' so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now your kiss's
Got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin' so crazy your love's got me lookin'
Got me lookin' so crazy your love."Bucky shut his eyes, your voice was the most beautiful thing he'd ever heard. It calmed him whatever was stressing him out. Tony watched the scene silently. He'd finished, and hadn't been killed. "Bucky? We're done." He opened his eyes, he was shaking. You lent across and hugged him. He hugged you back tightly.
"Stay with me?" He breathed. You nodded and took him away. You walked back to your room. He sat on the bed head in hands, still shaking. You thought about his past. What would he like to do........dance! You put on your stero, and pulled him up. He managed a smile and put his hands on your waist. You wrapped yours around his neck and put your head in the crook of his neck.
He swayed with you and couldnt help but fall so deeply in love with you. With your body, your voice, you love. And the way you saw past the monster, back to the boy that had once been there. He loved How you and Steve were close, how you took no nonsense from anyone. He loved the way one minute you could have killed sixty people and the next jumping out of Tony's car to save an animal stuck in the road.
He loved you, and he wouldn't tell you yet. This was too important, to perfect for him to screw up right now. A few years and maybe, he'd just have to hope no one else snapped you up before he felt safe enough to do it himself.
