A Stucky Story

The Asset and Snow part 1

Steve knew this day was coming. He's been on missions before. But they've been day missions, this was a week long mission. This will be the longest time he's been away from Bucky. He hated to think about anything happening to Bucky during a day mission, but a week mission; Steve's anxiety was through the roof.

To make things worse, it was snowing. Steve apparently missed the forecast for snow and woke up to a thick blanket of snow. Bucky didn't know what this stuff was and wanted to touch it. But Steve didn't allow him to go outside, mainly because he didn't know if Bucky could be triggered by touching snow.

So he just sat outside the back patio and stared at the snow.

Then he got a text. Nat would be here in an hour to get him. Steve called Rumlow to watch Bucky for the week and he was hoping he would be okay.

But this was Bucky he was talking about. Then there was a knock. Rumlow was here.

"There is many reasons why I don't like Brooklyn. This is number one." Said Rumlow taking off his coat.

"Yeah, that's Brooklyn for you."

"Bucky?" Said Rumlow. Apparently, Bucky didn't even notice him coming in. Bucky turned to his voice then got up.

"Papa."

"Hey, how are you?" Rumlow said picking him up. Bucky smiled then pointed to the snow.

"Yeah, that's snow."

"Touch?" Rumlow looked at Steve who shook his head.

"Sorry, kid. But it's too cold for you."  Bucky whined a little then put his head on his shoulder.

"Have you told him?" Asked Rumlow.

"I'll do it now. Hey Bucky." Said Steve. Bucky looked at him.

"Daddy has a mission to go on and it's going to be longer than usual." Bucky tilted his head and got down from Rumlow.

"Go?"

"Yeah, daddy has to go. I'll be back at the end of the week. Papa is going to stay with you, though. You know what not to do with him, right? I sent you everything he does." Rumlow nodded. Bucky started to cry and held Steve's hand.

"No, please?" Steve hugged him tightly, holding the urge to quit the mission and stay. Then his phone buzzed, Nat was outside.

"I'll call you every night before you go to bed. I love you." Steve kissed his head. Bucky cried and tried to follow him, but Rumlow held him.

"Stay, please?"

"I love you, Bucky. I'll be back soon." Steve left. Bucky cried, but didn't scream. He hated this, why did he have to leave?

"Hey, it's only just past 11, your nap isn't until 12, do you want to do something?" Bucky looked at him then crawled on his lap and sighed.

"That works." Bucky just stared at the tv. This day wasn't the best and it was slowly getting worse. Paw Patrol wasn't on, they decided to play Dora all day on tv. His tablet wouldn't play anything because the app was down. No tablet, no Paw Patrol and no daddy. This wasn't fun at all.

Bucky didn't remember even falling asleep. But his tummy was starting to talking to him and he was hungry.

"Hey, kiddo. You awake?" Said Rumlow poking his cheek. Bucky stretched and sat up.

"Are you hungry?" Bucky nodded then looked at the tv. What was this? There was a lot of people throwing a ball and running around and hitting each other. Bucky stared at the tv, what were they doing?
