Found this super cute pic on IG

"You mean it?" He asked nervously.

You supportingly placed a hand in his metal arm.
"Of course James. I'd love nothing more than you go on a date with you."

"Really?" He said in a cheerful tone before his expression dropped,"Why?"

"Well you're an incredibly sweet guy, you're caring, selfless, smart,funny extremely handsome. And besides," you shrugged,"I have a thing for older guys."

He gave a nervous smile.

"What's with you Buck?" You asked concerningly.

"I. It's nothing. Just surprised you said yes."

"I wouldn't dream of saying no. Don't be nervous. I know it's your first date since the 40's. A lot has changed since then but not that much. We can just have a little picnic or something. Where it's just us, no one will see you. It'll be fun. Dont worry."

"It's not that I'm worried about."

"Well then what is it?"

"It's nothing." He yawned.

"Still sleepy?" You asked changing the topic.

He gave a nod and you got off his lap.

You hoped he'd stop you but he didn't.

You took a seat on the other end of the couch.
"Maybe you should take a nap or something."

He nodded, still looking forward but not at you.

He got up a few silent minutes later and crawled onto the bed.

There was something  wrong. Something he wasn't telling you.

It hurt that he felt he couldn't tell you things.

Since you've met him all you wanted to do was help him, that's all you had done.

However that wasn't enough for him.

His paranoia is somewhat justified.

But it still hurt.

You were both very open to each other about everything but now it seemed like he's been closing himself off.

You silently watched him as he laid down with his back facing you.

He wasn't asleep, that much you knew.

He just didn't want to talk.

You tried your best to shrug it off but you had a bad feeling about it.

A few minutes later you faintly heard Bucky's light snoring along with the sound of the television.

You were focused on some drama show you've recently become addicted to.

Bucky groaned in his sleep, it was normal.

What wasn't normal was the frequent tossing, turning and grunting noises he made.

You got up and rushed over to him.

You slowly reached over and touched his chest.

His heart was pounding.

You gently shook his arm.

He jerked and firmly grasped your shoulders and flipped you under him with his forearm very loosely up against your throat.

You could freely breath but you were hyperventilating.

"James!" You shouted causing his eyes to jolt open.
