(Trigger Warning)

Y/N POV
Returning back to my room, I stripped off my clothing and got into the shower. The warm water traced across my skin and I hummed in satisfaction.

I looked into the shower head and saw my reflection, seeing a scar along my collar bone and I closed my eyes.

"Y/N! Do what your told, Or you die." Strucker yelled at me as I looked it him, while tied to a chair.

"I don't want to fight anymore.". I whimpered.

His hand collided with my face. "Fighting and killing is all that your good for." He screamed. He grabbed my face roughly and then threw my head back. He than left the room and reappeared with 3 people, he forced them onto their hands and knees. "I need a witness to your deaths." He laughed.

"But..." The man couldn't finish his sentence before Strucker shot him in the head. I screamed and shut my eyes, and I heard the other two gun shots.

I opened my eyes, My breath was heavy and I was leaning on the wall one hand on my chest.

I began crying as I slowly fell to the shower floor. I heard banging on the door and looked up. But I felt so weak, I couldn't respond. Suddenly I heard the door open, it banging against the wall.

"Y/N!" I heard Clint yell.

"Clint." I mumbled. He knocked on the bathroom door quite rapidly.

"Y/N are you okay? I heard you screaming."

"Get Bucky please." I asked.

"On it." I heard him run off and I sighed, leaning against the wall in defeat.

BUCKY'S POV
I got into my room, put on some work out clothes and met Sam in the gym.

I still had so much anger in me from what happened to Y/N. Each memory I had, Was a harder punch to the punching bag. My brain was in a rage state, punch after punch. I imagined it was one of those assholes faces's.

I continued to punch when I heard my name being yelled. I got out of my state and turned to Sam. "Who's yelling my name?" Sam shrugged. Just than Clint came running in.

"Bu...Bucky." He was breathless.

"What?" I asked extremely confused.

"Y/N her room, Go help." Was all he could get out. He was panting like a dog.

"Y/N needs my help?" He nodded, looking at me with worried eyes. Without another second, I ran past Clint and bolted up the stairs, my mind racing with thoughts of what could be wrong.

I made it to her room and opened the door, closing it behind me. I looked around the room for her, but my attention for taken to the bathroom where I heard soft cries.

My heart broke and I made my way to the door "Doll can I come in?" I asked.

I heard a muffled yes and I opened the bathroom door. I saw her sitting on the shower floor, crying. I immediately fell to my knees.

"Hey what's wrong sweet heart?" I pulled back the glass door on the shower and grabbed her hand. She lifted her head and gave me a weak smile. I gave her a worried smile back.

She just took a breath. "Can you get me a towel?" She mumbled.

"Of course." I turned off the shower and grabbed a towel from the cabinet below the sink. I placed it around her body and grabbed her hand again.

"Wanna go cuddle." I suggested, rubbing my thumb over her knuckles.

"Yes, I need cuddles." Her voice came out weak, but she wore a small smile. I almost died at how cute that sounded. I helped her to her feet and wrapped the towel more around her. She grabbed another towel for her hair and placed it on my chest, So she wouldn't get my shirt wet, making my heart swell.

We sat on the couch and I hugged her body against mine, as I rubbed up and down her arms. Trying to warm her up.

"You don't have to tell me now...you don't even have to tell me...but when you comfortable...I'm here for you...so just?" I rambled.

She placed her lips on mine and kissed me softly, I grabbed her closer, kissing her deeper.

"I can tell you." She sniffled a little and sat up, the towel shifting, but I grabbed it and pulled it back down. She gave me a small smile and let out a sigh. "I had a memory of when I was with Hydra. Strucker always made me watch when he killed people or would hit me when I wouldn't fight. I saw the scar on my collarbone and boom, thoughts flooded in." She told me with so much fear and confidence. But tears pricked her eyes.

"I'm so sorry baby. I wish you didn't have those memories. I just want you to remember that's in the past. We're here now. We are safe. You have me and the avengers. We will never let that happen to you again. I love you and will protect you with my life." I shared. She started crying and I pulled her in closer, holding her as close as I possibly could. I never wanted her to feel pain. I wanted to protect her from all the evil of the world. And I would.

"Thank you Bucky. I really needed that." She looked up at me and smiled, I leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

"You can always talk to me about stuff like that. I'm always here to listen and care for you." She sat up and wrapped me in a hug.

"I love you Sergeant." She smiled.

"I love you to Doll." I kissed her soft warm lips. She pulled away, We both smiled in satisfaction from the kiss. I wiped away her tears and kissed her cheek. She giggled and pushed off my chest. Placing both feet on the ground.

"I should probably get dressed."

I stood up as well and put the towel on my chest in her laundry basket. My phone dinged and I saw it was a text from Sam.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, putting on her bra and underwear.

I looked up at her. "Sam was wondering what happened. What should I say? I can say screw off." I chuckled.

She just laughed. "Just say Y/N needed some comfort." I texted just that, When I looked up and she was now wearing a plain green sun dress.

"You look beautiful." I said. Anything she wore, she was stunning, way out of my league.

Her cheeks flushed. "Thanks."

Looking at her in that dress, something sparked in my head. "Doll, I have an idea."

"Which is." She asked, turning to look at me from her brushing her hair.

"Let's go on a proper date." I suggested.

"What's a proper date?"

"Well not sitting in the back of a truck in sweats. Like going out to eat in fancy clothes. I don't know something fun." I chuckled. "I just want to give you a romantic date."

"Bucky that's sounds like a wonderful idea. I would love to go for dinner and wear fancy clothes. If that makes you happy. Thats something I was hoping we could do." Her smile was huge, making my heart grow in love.

I stood up and cupped her face, So her beautiful eyes met mine. "Tonight." I stated confidently, my voice dropping a bit.

"Great." She smiled. "Now you got me excited."
