Her Soldier • Bucky Barnes Fanfiction

Recovery

When you woke up, you were in a bed in the Med Bay of the tower. You looked down at yourself seeing bruises from everything that you endevered from your mission. Bucky was dozing off in a chair close to your bed with a book in his hands, he was planning to stay with you the entire time you were in bed. You ran your hand through his hair softly "Bucky-" you whispered, his eyes opened slowly as he looked over to you. "Looks like somebody's up" he yawned as he stretched his arm up in the air. "How long was I out?" you kissed him softly as he moved up to sit on the edge of the bed. "Four days" he said as he pushed some of the hair from your face behind your ear. You shot up straight in bed "oh god- what about Zemo?" you seemed terrified as the memory of everything that had happened to you suddenly came back to you. Bucky put his arm around you protectivly "it's alright doll- we've got him" he kissed your head softly as you shook slightly, trying to forget all that had happened...

   You had fallen asleep once again, while you were asleep Bucky stayed up on the bed with you, he kept his arms around you tightly, not wanting to risk losing you again. He didn't even want you to go on the mission, dreading that something like this would happen, or.. Something even worse....

There was a knock on the door, Maria Hill stood in the doorway with a boquet of flowers in her hand "How's she holding up?" she came into the room setting the flowers down on the side table "she's good- Bruce came and checked on her a little while ago.." something had been on his mind ever since he had come back from the snap, and he finally had to get it off of his chest.. "I don't want her going on anymore missions Maria" Bucky looked over to her, Maria stood there silently for a moment "we need everyone we can get Soldier- after all that we've lost..." Bucky looked at you sleeping in his arms "I- can't risk losing her.. Not again" Maria looked over to you as well "I know how much you love her Bucky, and yes we all want her to be safe... But we can't always leave people out of this- team.. Especially the ones who've been here through it all" she pointed over to you "These past five years have been rough for her... Losing you, her teamat- family." Bucky nodded softly "she's too stubborn to listen to me about it anyways" he rubbed your hair softly. "we'll discuss this when she wakes up, alright?" "Okay Maria" Bucky nodded,  Maria stopped herself in the doorway "oh by the way, Sharon wanted me to tell you something... Steve- wants to see the two of you" she walked away quickly not wanting to see Bucky's reaction. Bucky sat there silently, he still couldn't properly process all that had happened... And now his best friend who had changed so much wants to see him, he didn't know how much more he could take, he always felt broken.. But never to this extent. The only thing that really kept him going anymore, was you.
