Winter Soldier

\/ ~ Bucky climbes a tree

We continued to walk in silence. None of us said anything. We both knew it would take a long long time to walk into New York. Plus that we couldn't just walk into it. Bucky would probably get arrested by the police. Or SHIELD. Also called Hydra now.

And you all know that would be bad.

So we had to find a way to hide. Get clothes to hide everything. And then we could get to Avengers Tower and talk to Steve Rogers. At least I thought that was the plan, but you never really knew with Bucky.

When we had walked for probably another hour, Bucky stopped all of a sudden. He turned around with a look of concern. It was dark in the woods, only light enough for us to manage to see.

Then I heard it too, the sound of silent footsteps.

"It's them." Bucky whispered, and in a matter of 4 seconds he grabbed my hand and ran off dragging me behind him. I ran as silently as I could, but it was impossible to feel like it was silent. When everything else around me was so silent.

We had run for another hour when Bucky finally stopped, again. "We have to stay somewhere and sleep the rest of the night. I don't think they have headlights, but they might as well have nightvision glasses." Bucky said looking around. "We need to find somewhere safe, they know that we're here, and that they are close to us. We just have to move faster, and/or loose them."

I nodded even though I wasn't sure if he could see it in the dark.

"Let's go this way." Bucky took my hand and pulled me to the left. When we stopped it was under a big tree full of leaves.

"Are we climbing up?" I asked and groaned a little. I could feel Bucky smirk. For him it was obviously easy. He was faster stronger, yeah better at most things than many people. To climb a tree was just a game for kids. Literally.

"I'll help you." He told me, and then in some magical way, that I would have never managed to do. He climbed up and out of sight. It went a little while before I heard from him and I started to feel kinda nervous. That was when I saw his legs dangling there right over me.

"It's nice up here, but not much space to sleep on. I think we'll make it work anyway." He said and then his metal arm and his face also became visible through the leaves. He had pushed them aside and I could see him grinning at me like a child.

He so totally loved being in the tree.

I looked for a way up and when I found one I managed to get up, with a little help from Mister Barnes of course.

"Woah." I stated when I got up there. The tree was beautiful, it looked like a cave made of leaves from the inside. It was thick enough branches for us to sleep on.

"Make it work?! This is amazing." I said and understood why Bucky had that childish stupid grin when I was down on the ground. I probably had my own version of it on my face right there.

Bucky just laughed, probably at my face and then he layed back at the branch he was sitting into a comfortable position. I was about to go get my own branch when Bucky stopped me.

"Hey wait, come here." He said and I frowned at him. He had a smirk on his face that made me not really wanna go over to him. I did though, Bucky and his pervert grin is irresistible and charming.

I sat down beside him, on the closest branch, that was too small to sleep on, and Bucky sat up as well. Then he put his hands around my waist, and lifted me over on his branch.

It made me laugh, because his fingers tickled me and Bucky smiled. One of his warm beautiful ones. "I don't have a shirt, I need someone to warm me." He said and then smirked again.

I giggled, like for the first time in years and Bucky grinned. Then he lifted his hand to my face and made me frown all so slightly. Bucky smiled, this cute little smile that I had never seen before.

Then he leaned closer to me, and before I could know what was going on his lips touched mine in a soft kiss. The first kiss I had had in five years and it couldn't have been any better.

"That, was for accepting me when I couldn't even accept myself." Bucky whispered while we were so close our noses touched. Then he layed back on the branch again and so did I. Almost halfway ontop of him. I had my head on his chest and for some reason it was warm.

It was the best pillow I ever had.
