Boom.
Thunder storms, one of Your favourite kind of weather. No- Your only favourite kind of weather. Sure, You like the sun and relaxing by the Pool. But it was Also very un-relaxing. Sweating all the time and being sticky from sunscreen and melted popscicles, It just wasnt quite the right thing for You. Thunder storms or just rain in general on the other hand though. You've always found it so relaxing. Running around outside and dancing getting soaked.
It was currently 03:21, and You were laying in bed. The thunder cracking and rain landing on Your Windows always made You fall asleep. But for some reason You just couldnt tonight. You got out of bed and walked down the halls of the tower until You finally arrived at the kitchen. You got a glass out of one of the cabinets and filled it with water, chugging it in one go. You put the glass away and started walking back to Your room. Just as You were about to turn the handle, You stopped and looked at Buckys door who was right across yours. You hadn't really seen him alot since the mission he was recently on. You decided to go and knock on his door, But he didnt answer so You just took the chance and opened the door and walked inside. He was sitting in the corner of the room rocking back and forth, while mumbling some stuff in russian that You couldnt hear.
You walked over to him and leaned onto the Wall next to him. You Sighed at yourself for forgetting that he gets scared during thunder storms. You put Your hand on one of his knees that was brought up to his face. He flinched and and grabbed You wrist. "Calm down Buck! Its just me, Y/N!" You said while trying to Pry his hand off of Your wrist. He immediately let go and held onto you. "I-Im sorry, i didnt mean to.!" He said sniffling. "Its alright, Whats wrong?" You mentally slapped yourself since You already knew what was wrong. "Its the thund-"
He was cut off by another loud boom. He jumped and held onto You tighter, whimpering. He was like a little scared puppy. He May look intimidating, But he's soft. He's the sweetest, funniest and most charming guy You have ever met. As he put his face in the crook of Your neck You started combing his hair with You fingers. You felt so bad for him. Thunderstorms really scared him, maybe even more than H.Y.D.R.A.
"Its okay, i got you." You whispered. "Ты маленький ребенок"
"Im no baby." He mumbled
"You're My baby." You replied while hugging him.
He chuckled lightly. You could Feel him smile into Your neck. You really do care for him. He was suprised the first time You guys met, how You immediatly looked away from his past and and stuck out Your hand with this adorable smile on Your face. It was like he met the other side of this cruel world. The side he never got to explore.
The happy side
"Hi! Im Y/N Y/L/N! You must be James." You said sticking Your hand out. Bucky contained his blush and hesitantly took Your hands with his metal one.
"Yeah i am.." he mumbled. He was afraid of Your reaction once You saw it.
"Awesome! You have a metal arm? Thats so cool!"
He was shocked. Werent You supposed to scream? Run away?
"Sorry, i got a little excited." You laughed. "Anyways come on, im gonna show You around the tower!" You said with a kind smile.
"Sure."
From that point and onwards he studied You. Your walk, Your hair, every curve, the way you talk. Everything, because he knew from this day on everything Would change. You noticed how hes not much of a talker. But with You hes different. Very. He seemed to smile more and Get in a few scenteces before You end the chat, You were glad You were becoming friends with him.
He pulled away from the hug and You grab his hand, pulling him up. A slight blush was starting to form on his face. You both walked over to his bed. You sat down, facing the TV. Bucky followed after. Sitting down in between Your legs with his head on Your shoulder, and his metal hand intertwined with yours. He closed his trying to block out the sound of the storm. You kissed his temple which made a huge grin appear on his face. Every now and then he'd jump because of the thunder and you'd hug him, reassuring him hes safe.
In time the storm stopped. You were sad it had gone away, But Also happy that Bucky Would no longer be in panic. You looked down at him and saw he was fast asleep on Your stomach. His arms wrapped tightly around Your waist, his legs tangled with yours. Watching him sleep peacefully, You felt your eyes Get heavy and fell asleep aswell.
