Bucky's POV

She was never the same after that night. She recovered, mostly. But now she had something I never wanted her to have. She suffered from nightmares every now and then. She still doesn't know that I wake up from my silent nightmares about her at least once a week. But I don't plan on telling her, she doesn't need to know.

Now that I am in her position with me. I feel such a huge weight of guilt for putting her through this.

She wakes up, screaming and thrashing around. Unable to decipher dream from reality. She's no where near as strong as I, so she can't really hurt me. But I realize when it's me flailing around, throwing punches and things. She's in harms way. Big time.

I told her this. She can only look down at her twiddling thumbs.

"Well, I can't very well hurt you," she laughs

"I'm serious (Name) . What happens if I seriously injure you?"

"Bucky, we are together because I put myself in harms way. I wanted this. I'm willing to take this risk,"

"Why?"

"Because I love you,"
