A/N: Hello some of these POVs came off my Tumblr if anyone follows me on there hope you like this one.
Summary: Bucky has had to cope alone with his nightmares until you arrived in his life. Little did he think laughter would do the trick.Mentions: fluff, nightmares, laughter
Bucky never gets sleep, always waking up to no one there. The heavy breathing, shaking. He thought they would go away eventually but until then, he just had to endure. At least this time around, he isn't alone.
It's only been a month maybe since you two started seeing each other. You both like to explore, be curious about things. Found common interests like when he told you he likes forties music and you took him to an old antique shop you used to work showing him all records. He was like a kid in a candy factory seeing albums that he thought wouldn't even exist still. You liked that he had this hidden part of him. He might look brooding and definitely can be. With you, he turned into a cinnamon roll and you loved every minute of it.
You would invite him over to watch movies or hang out he loved that he could fill up his days with you then be wondering around the city. A nice change. Although you two never really spent the night together, you knew he had a past, you didn't know everything but no matter you couldn't see yourself giving up someone as amazing as him in your eyes especially when he didn't see it. This time you were at his place made a big fort in his living room which actually made him less embarrassed that he didn't have a lot of furniture. You guys spent the whole day watching movies, talking, curled in his arms most of it. He just worried that if you spent the night you would see what happens and he felt like you shouldn't.
You tried to keep yourself awake as long as possible but with the smell of his fresh balsam cologne and the warmth of his chest as it rises and falls when he breathes it just started to pull you under. You said you would let him take you home but by then Bucky was half asleep himself and you both just knocked out.
As the night carried on to the bewitching hour, Bucky once again found himself jolting awake sitting up, breathing heavy, sweating, shaking. He bunched part of the blanket in his hands zoning out. He heard stirring which made him jump but remembering you were next to him oh god you were next to him and the fears of not knowing if he hurt you in sleep made him panic more.
"Mm Bucky...you okay?" You say half asleep finding his arm rubbing it. "Yeah...i...Mm it's nothing," he sounds out of breath you sit up wrapping your arm around his neck rubbing his shoulder. "Hey it's okay...you can tell me," you say softly to him running a hand through his hair it was wet some from him sweating so much it made you pout seeing him get like this.
"I..hydra, the usual..." he sighs. You nod listening to him then eventually get up giving him some water to help. "Wanna hear a bad dream I had before...well I have a few but this one," you sigh out.
"What was it?" Bucky rubs your shoulder. "When I was a kid i used to like watching the muppets like with Kermit and all of them sometimes with my parents."
Bucky looks at you so confused "uh huh..."
"Listen it get worse okay, ya know miss piggy. Well I would have recurring nightmares of her tying me up and then standing in the corner of my room watching me I couldn't scream she ducked tape my mouth and then I would wake up breathing hard crying,"
"What?!" He bursts out in laughter he can't help it he hasn't heard something so quirky before.
You laugh with him hard holding your stomach "Hey this is traumatizing okay," you say in between giggles
"Yeah, I bet it was...do you need to come with me to the next therapy session hm tell them about this incident," he laughs tickling you hard. It did make him feel a lot better actually.
You both eventually calm down after a bit laying down again your head on his chest "I think I can spend the night more often now okay buck...you don't need to be alone when these happen," you say lifting your head up some facing him.
He was hesitant at first but nodded "okay...if I ever hurt you...you gotta tell me okay," he says making a compromise. "Okay," you say meeting his lips kissing him softly.
"And if you ever ya know get these dreams about miss piggy you let me know..." he says biting his lip laughing again.
"Screw you Barnes," you roll your eyes laughing a little kissing him more.
"Mm I love to screw you..." he smirks getting on top of you. "Bucky..." you groan laughing a little there was no way you two were gonna sleep now.
